European Delights

This place is very friendly and warming to newcomers. If you are interested in Northwestern European food check them out and ask questions, they love to show the foods they have!

Wonderful selection of Russian, Bulgarian, Polish, Byelorussian, Greek, Turkish, Lithuanian, Slovakian, and other European goods, from pork sausages to feta cheese and a huge array of sweets along the spectrum.If you don't read Cyrillic or Greek, make sure to take a Russian or Greek speaker along with you, else use your common sense and/or ask lots of questions -- even the stupidest of questions are welcomed and answered with courtesy.

I had no idea there was a brilliant little Eastern European grocery store tucked away in this shopping plaza. We happened to be eating nearby and decided to stop in to check the place out. When you walk in you immediately greeted with a huge island of candy. Obviously it's candy you'd find in Eastern Europe, so the labels are not in English and the packaging designs are way better than anything you'd find in the states. You grab a bag and fill it up with whatever catches your eye. Prices range from $4.99 to $9.99 a pound. If you need to know what the ingredients are you can ask at the counter and they'll help translate for you. 99% of it is chocolate based. You really can't go wrong. My family had a blast picking out some treats to take home. They have a huge selection of dry good and canned groceries. If your looking for an obscure ingredient chances are you can find it here. Lots of pickled veggies, grains, pastas, chips, crackers, cookies, and other things I was totally clueless about are abundant here. There is a refrigerated and freezer section in the back. It had so many products I was overwhelmed. They also have a deli case up front with meats and cheeses. My husband was thrilled when the guy working asked if he'd like to sample anything from the meat case. Cured meats are the way to his heart, so he definitely said yes. The guy was more than happy to let him sample anything and told us no pressure to buy, just try it. Can't argue with that. We did end up buying about a half pound of various meats. It's all reasonably priced considering this is a specialty grocery store. In addition to food they also sell books, toys, dvds, and cds all from Eastern Europe, of course. There's something for everyone. Add this place to your list. Friendly service and a foodie adventure awaits you!

We are enjoying our deli choices! Polanski cheese is wonderful, zervistaya salami to die for, and I splurged on some salmon roe! We stocked up on black currant juice and jam, and are excited about the the frozen dumplings too. It's a clean shop, and there are so many different items to try... we'll be back soon.

Always wonderful when we stop in. We live about 4 hours away so whenever we are in Overland Park we stop in and stock up. Selection is always wonderful and the owners are helpful.

Today was my grandmother' birthday and I wanted to eat a few Jewish culinary standbys in honor of her day. KC has a serious lack of Jewish eateries (can I get a Kosher deli up here?) so my husband and I thought we'd give European Delights a try, on the off-chance that Eastern European might be close enough.We arrived at the store and were immediately greeted by the nice woman behind the counter. My husband explained our mission (I couldn't, as I was more than a little verklempt) and she so sweetly helped us find some Grandma-reminiscent options. We wandered around the store, she told me about her Grandmother and pretended not to notice as I cried and snotted my way through the frozen aisle. I could not be more grateful for her kindness.As for the store itself, European Delights is sparklingly clean and way fun to explore. Fantastic selection of candies, and off-beat items. We were able to try a few samples of the merchandise, much appreciated for folks not too familiar with some of the offerings and sadly, not fluent in any Slavic languages.We were able to find a ton of items that looked intriguing to try and speak from experience when we say that the hamemtaschen are sublime. There are some crazy delicious smells emanating from my oven right now, thanks to the stuffed cabbage. My real takeaway from European Delights, however, is how wonderful the owner was and how she helped me connect a little with my Grandma on a day I sorely needed it. Thank you so much!

Cool store, the lady who helped my wife and I was really nice and interesting. Good candies and nesting dolls, will be coming back to dig into the preserves and honeys!

Great selection, friendly service and very traditional Eastern European foods. The borscht was delicious

Went here last week for Turkish Delight. The man working (idk if he's the owner or not) was very helpful in recommending the best flavors. I also bought some Turkish coffee and it was good! Plus they have a wide assortment of candies. Lord willing I'll definitely be back!

great store and cultural food selection. highly recommend trying out a some frozen pelmeni.
