Broadway Food Palace

I don't know of any other 'Russian food' store that makes crepes better than this place. They are my favorite! Try the "french" - mushroom and chicken, or "russian"  - with chicken or sour cherry.

In the Fair Lawn area, there aren't really many options for authentic Russian food and groceries. This is it. The selection here is surprisingly good considering the size of the place. The staff here can be a bit slow to help as well, depending on how busy the store is. Bottom line, this place fits the bill if you're looking for authentic Russian food and groceries in the area.

The store is most definitely not closed.  I shop here on a regular basis, mostly for the salads, and it's open everyday. Unlike the two other russian stores nearby, the Broadway Food Palace is pleasantly spacious.  The hot food is ok, but I think it is a bit overpriced.They do have a very nice dairy section though, with some unusual, and interesting selections always showing up, like organic goat milk for example.They also have a mini butcher shop!  I mean come on, where else do you see that.  Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

This place is not closed!Shop here on weekly basis for Kefir, spices, salads, home made soups.  Their deli is very good and fresh.  They also provide catering, all my large parties at home are catered from here, very good food from Mango Lobster salad to duck foe gras.  For cold cuts, they are not the best as they do not make any of their sausages, better go to B&B on River rd in Fair Lawn, though these things will kill you.

Um...excuse me - CLOSED?I was there today. It was a pilgrimage - I've wanted to shop there at leisure for ages, but was never able to carve out the time. I'm so glad I was able to make the time today.BE WARNED - this is about as Russian Specialty as it gets, and Russian Specialty is NOT for the faint of heart. But with my beloved Eagle Provisions a memory, and as a fan of both cooking and eating this sort of food on occasion (I'm Ukrainian, Polish and Slav by birth) this place is a GOLD MINE.Palmeni (meat dumplings), Vareniki (potato dumplings) are just the tip of the glorious iceberg of their dumpling freezer. So many kinds of kolbasy my head was spinning. Kolbanasy too - in pork AND veal. Brown bread - YES, folks, BROWN BREAD. Caviar, a bakery your Baba would love and fish, fish - ye GODS, the bits I would have taken home for soup tonight had I the presence of mind to bring a cooler bag! I can see some of your eyes glazing over with confusion - let me make this clear: if you DON'T know Russian food, this isn't for you.And if you KNOW Russian food, but don't know Russian, you're going to have to ask for help... and this is a challenge here, as these are real Russians AND... this is real Russian food. I'd say 90% of the packaged food - including the most exquisite aisle of smoked fish of all varieties  is labeled in Cyrillic. PLUS (another challenge) their extraordinary deli counter of salads and prepared meals (golubky like I make myself!) labels their food in Russian terms - up to and including hummous (which is spectacular).I suggest you bring a Russian out for a day trip and comb the aisles - but with my caveats under advisement. This is the Russian version of Chinatown, folks, and if that makes your heart leap - like it does mine - Broadway Food Palace is open, alive and well,  !!!! More...

I migrated from Russia over 35 years ago (most people don't even cinsider me a Russian anymore) and shopped in almost every Russian/European deli stores between the two coasts. I found this place to be very much up to my standards and love to come here (from Manhattan) to try something processed, smoked, pickled, canned (read comments from Mick above) because it tastes soooooooo good! Recommend to everyone!!!P.S. A few more smiles from the staff would be a plus. More...

They're still setting up, but it's looking delicious inside. We were waiting for dinner from Juicy Platters down the road, so we walked on over (about 30 seconds up the block) to buy a drink for our meal and to check out the commotion. This Russian-esque/European specialty market is still in the process of opening, but I'm happy with what I see.   These fair-lawn Ruskees(sp?Pc?) house some interesting dishes. We saw smoked pork loin, handmade chicken sausages, even some tongue. It looks intimidating but at the same time very Mmmmm. (definitely trying some of these out)They offer Kefir milk, side salads, and foreign sodas (not crazy expensive either). I got a bottle of Russian soda...it  had no discernible English writing on it. However, I was in luck,  its logo was picture of a smiling golden cartoon boy holding a shimmering key...I figured this was a good sign. Kid looked happy. So, I tried the soda. After suppressing the urge to overthrow the government for communist purposes, I realized the soda tasted a lot like Ramune soda(the one with the marble). It was double the size of a ramune for only $1.29. Can't argue with that. They had fair prices, unique selections of food, and healthy side salads. This place isn't for everyone though, you have to have a sense of adventure when you buy something and don't really know what it is. Plus the in house butcher may be too much for some. Look for the Warhol Soup Cans and Caviar on Broadway, that's their sign. More...
