Highly delicious and original selection of foods from Eastern Europe and a bit from Western Europe and the USA. The store has upgraded itself a lot in the past few years. The shopping experience is smooth, there is an eatery on the side of the store with occasional live music in the evenings, serving mostly cool Slavic influence foods. Their twin store Kalinka is on the same plaza and offers a smaller cozy alternative, while Matreshka is brighter and more spacious , with a greater variety, and with other restaurants and stores on the same plaza (Latin, Asian, Jewish, Georgian...) one can find a spot for every mood. Focused on Russian goods in the past, Matroshka currently features additional prominent "collections" from Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Turkiye, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Luthvinia, Estonia, Finland, and even some preserves and candies from Germany. The culture is focused on the countries of the post-Soviet European stage. Most speak Russian, but English speaking customers are understood and accommodated with no problem. The same in their "cousin" store European Delights (about 5 min drive away from them on another plaza), that strikes the balance in size between a larger store Matroshka and a more cozy store Kalinka, and additionally offers an opulent selection of authentic caviars: we saw both English and Spanish customers coming for it, and somebody would always step out for an easy...
   Read moreMy experience walking through Matryoshkaâs grocery store to begin with, was quite an adventure. A very pleasant one in fact. Being born in the USA and never traveling outside of the country I was very interested, curious about Russian cuisine, beverages, and in home fine dining due to the pandemic. Matryoshka had it all! From the finest caviar to most refreshing ice cold Russian beer(served in a tall, frozen glass). The buffet spread was absolutely impeccable with so many delicious options to choose from!!! If you came here hungry I guarantee you will leave here full and 100% satisfied. In addition, they have a wonderfully convenient outside seating area so I was able to purchase my food/beverages and eat it there comfortably outside as well. Lastly, the atmosphere was absolutely inviting. Any question, comment, or concern I had about anything I needed to get or wanted to know was dealt with in the upmost professionally respected way from the incredible staff at this location. The employees there are so kind and so helpful, I was able to get everything I wanted and learned so much through the process, meeting so many wonderful individuals. I give Matryoshka of sunny isles beach 2 thumbs up đđ I will be coming here for the rest of my days and would highly recommend this place to ALL family, friends and others that are interested in a new and outstanding ...
   Read moreWas visiting from out of town, first time since they moved to their new location a few years ago. I bought a few things, but one of the items, a $2 pack of coffee flavored wafers, something I know I bought there years prior, and was something I was really looking forward to, wouldnât be sold to me. This was the first time in my entire life a store has REFUSED TO SELL to me. The item wouldnât scan, you told me not to go look at the price on the shelf, you refused to go look, you refused to scan a similar item, you refused to sell it to me for any price you wanted, two people working just flat out couldnât figure out how to sell these wafers to me. It took what felt like an eternity a massive line built up, they had to open a second register, and at the end of it all, I left with the items that scanned fine, and wildly unhappy I couldnât get the treat I was excited to find. Any other grocery store wouldâve sent someone to go fetch the price and key it in manually, ask me if Iâm ok with a random amount, or just flat out give the customer the product because the store has an issue. No. Instead you refuse to sell a product. A product I specifically announced, âI want this, Iâll pay whatever.â Figure out what you stock, figure out how to sell it, figure out how to take money for those products, figure out your customer service. Absolutely deplorable the way it...
