This Supermarket's Hot Bar Was So Good, I Canceled My Dinner Reservation
Briefly

Tashkent Supermarket opened its fifth NYC location on Sixth Avenue, fulfilling community demand for a closer Uzbek grocery option. The store showcases various ingredients from Uzbekistan and Central Asian cuisines, alongside Slavic, Turkish, and Western foods. Customers can find unique groceries, such as Ukrainian cheeses, mannaya kasha, and kaymak. The seafood department has an impressive range of smoked fish and caviar, while the meat is halal. The highlight is the extensive hot bar, featuring appetizers, salads, grilled meats, and desserts, enticing visitors enough to cancel other dining plans for its offerings.
The hot bar at Tashkent Supermarket offers a beautiful spread of appetizers, cold salads, grilled meats, kebabs, plov, dumplings, savory pastries, and desserts - all priced by the pound.
Tashkent Supermarket features groceries rarely seen in most American supermarket chains, including Ukrainian farmer cheese, Turkish olives, and the ultra-thick dairy product kaymak.
