European Foods

New owners, they are Ukrainian. Old Russian couple ran the store for 19 years and sold the business and retired.Trying the menu at European Foods: Eggplant salad (4/5), chicken cutlet (5/5), cabbage rolls (5/5), Ukrainian dumplings (4.5/5), spicy carrot salad (5/5), borscht (3/5), poppy butter bread (4/5).Will come back to try chicken kiyu and their Olivier potato salad.

This is an interesting place, it has a European market (I think mainly Ukrainian items) with a small "no frills" restaurant attached. It is clean, in a strip mall with parking. Service was adequate, I would not exactly say friendly, but not unfriendly either. We ordered some takeout and got a few items, since everything is in a different language it is hard to pick items. I should have done some research prior. I chose a few pieces of candy, have no idea what it was, other than pictures. One piece was really good, I did not like the other two, one I ended up spitting out. We also got some of their Patato Salad from the refrigerator-it contained potatoes, bologna, sweet peas, carrots, eggs, pickles and onions with mayonnaise (all cut up in pretty small cubes, like brunoise cuts). It is tasty. We also got a braid of cheese with olive oil and spices that we plan on having with some fresh baked bread. We ordered takeout from the restaurant, the Hungarian Goulash with mashed potatoes, tasty but it needed more "gravy"/sauce. We also got the beef stroganoff and it was SO good!! Stroganoff is one of my favorite foods and I will return for that, for certain. Both dishes came with a tasty pickle and some really delicious thinly shredded pickled carrots. I wished for more of both. We also got 2 meat Piroshky's but we have not tried them yet. Our bill was just over $57.

My wife and I have been going to this store about once a month for over a year now and we love it. The selection of European groceries (mostly Eastern European) is terrific and the deli goods such are homemade and delicious. The beef stroganoff is a great take home item. The restaurant side of the shop is also great. On a weekday during lunch the restaurant is very quiet but the food is amazing. My wife enjoyed the cabbage rolls, while I enjoyed the cutlets with potato along with a side of coffee. This is a hidden gem here in North Seattle and worth a visit. It is a great place to support the local Ukrainian community and get some excellent European goods.

Good place with delicious ukrainian food. Highly recommend. Definitely worth to visit.

The best European food I had so far in Seattle!Highly recommend! Love it, definitely I will be coming back here again!

This place is great. Very casual. Let someone know you want to eat in the diner and seat yourself. Whatever you want, order it all at once because they don't come back. All the food was incredibly tasty. What we ordered:PirogiesMeat cutletMushroom soup Kvas drink I would order all of these items again. The borscht was recommended the next time we go.

I am sad to have to give this little grocery with Eastern European foods a bad rating. They have some nice products and delicious prepared foods. But overcharging a customer ($39.99) from a quoted price ($29.99)--and then not making it right when the customer calls to get the charge corrected-- is scamming and renders your business untrustworthy. Even worse, attempting to paint the customer as a liar and begin arguing over the phone is embarrassing conduct. This is not a haggle vs. scam culture; you can't run a business in the PNW and expect to succeed with ethics like that.UPDATE: The manager (owner?) called me back, after a short convo, she agreed to refund my $10 tomorrow when she is back in the shop. If she follows through, I will take down or modify my negative review.

European Foods is located next door to Friendship BBQ in North Seattle, one of those retail/restaurant sites that I finally took the time to explore. Just this month, I have stopped in with The Homie on three occasions already (2/13, 2/17, and 2/23/23).What has been the total haul thus far:Spezi (orange+cola soda), various kinds of Kvass, sunflower halvah, Milka hazelnut milk chocolate bar, chocolate raspberry biscuits, and delicious honey cake. Reasonable prices with well organized, well stocked shelves with a variety of items. There's an adjacent onsite restaurant in addition to their retail shop.A worthy detour along Aurora Ave N/Hwy 99.

most times I get good Easter Europe food there, but today I for second time got spoiled meat products. They really need to double check the quality of their products before selling them.

I was taken there to eat by a Russian lady who is an excellent cook. She said the food and the people who ran the shop were first class. They are that and more. Very pleasant people, really pleasant, and the food is marvelous. Be good to your mouth and stop by. And ask for help to try something new. If you have not eaten Eastern European foods you are in for a treat.A good place to get the goods for a great picnic.
