Top-notch meat counter, deli foods, and European grocery/bakery items.

I used walk by this butcher shop almost everyday, and thought what a unique old school vibe this shop has. A great character for the neighborhood. I painted a portrait of this shop which you can see on my website, kovalfineart dot com.

Amazing selection. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Being from a Ukrainian family this place, these people and this food feels very familiar and staves off the occasional homesickness. 10/10 would recommend.

I plan to shop for sausage kielbasa I have not eaten in months years, and after doing routine Wadym lessons across the street on 2nd Avenue in the 1960s.

I grew up with Polish friends and family in northeast Pennsylvania since then I moved to South Carolina and cannot find authentic Polish Keilbasa. My Friend brought me a few links That she had shipped from from East Village meat market as she grew up in New York and recommended the market. Hands-down it’s the best and I will continuously order from here. Even when I go back to Pennsylvania for Holidays I will have the Keilbasa shipped there to eat!

Love that place.Especially on Saturday mornings.Everyone is super nice. Amazing products. I will NEVER buy my meat anywhere else!!!

The bset around greatest place 2 shop going here since 1991

There is celebration in my household for knowing you have re- open! My family & I am so happy for all the costumers who love your products & have benefit from the quality of meats you carry & the delicious food you prepare.Most of ALL we benefit from your excellent costumer service. You are professional, friendly & very knowledgeable of your business congratulations & I am looking forward to going back shopping at your “ shop” regards AN

I come here regularly for the cold cuts. Always good quality and a good selection of items I cannot find elsewhere in the East Village.

I have often walked by and never gone in. On New Years eve, I saw the amazing breads in the window and was lured in. I have been missing a lot! The hot table in the back was irresistible. I bought a little of everything to be shared with friends. The brisket, the meatloaf, pork loin and barbecue ribs were a feast for our New Years eve get together. Hand carved and wrapped in butchers paper was a nice touch. Prices were reasonable and the man who carved gave me a little taste. I also bought some crusty varieties of breads. I plan to go back and try the famous kielbasa and some of the custom meats. There were Ukrainian pantry items and various condiments. I spied homemade soups in the refrigerated case. Many things to try in this iconic neighborhood store for Ukrainian specialties. So glad I stumbled in.

My Family been coming here since they 1st opened many many years.. The best place. I Just placed a orYou will not be disappointed ❤der

Be very careful, they charged my credit card twice and said it was voided. This was not the case. When I called them they refused to refund the amount and said to dispute with credit card company. I honestly wanted to support this small business, but this was not acceptable.

Service is superb, in and out in ten minutes and the food is top quality! Whenever Im in town, which is often I make a point to stop.

Great food and exceptional service

Going there for over 50 years.Best Polish Meat Market anywhere.

Today visited the store... very good quality meet and nice service!

Love this place! Wonderful kielbasa, meats, cheeses, sauerkraut, pickles, beets, mustard and more! The best of the best and has that old school feeling that reminds me of my grandparents. I hope they stay around forever and never change!

My first time there. i wanted kabanos. its like a trip back in time when you walk through the door. the staff was helpful the other patrons were nice also. im a sausage fanatic. they have other goodies. its must visit. i live uptown/westside. the trip is more than worth it. old world polish deli, yum!!!

Great place, limited hours, looking to offset a negative review posted in the last couple days complaining about customer service. This shop is great, I DO NOT want it to go away anytime soon. They have the best bacon, prices are reasonable and lets support this local business.

This place is a slice of vanishing New York, serving up some old-school, authentic, affordable Ukrainian food. Here is where you get the most delicious, melt-in-your mouth cured meats, pick up scrumptious and huge! meat-stuffed cabbage rolls (or the meatless kind with rice), and many other tasty things that will be budget friendly. The staff here is great too, happy and chatty and it fills my heart with joy every time I stop by. Give it a try! You won’t regret it and perhaps we can keep this shop (and other authentic spots in the area) in business longer...

The salami is the best I ever had. The Franks are great and if you love blood sausage you will not find any better. You have to give this place a visit. The best!

I was very excited to get polish food.i was very disappointed when I received it. The shipping is not proper for keeping food preserved at all. I spent $100 and I got a cardboard box and inside was a very small thawed cold pack. The food was very hot from the 2 days it spent traveling to me. I am very unhappy with this experience.

Second time visiting the store and unfortunately we have an empoyee who is only concerned on going home - he should not be working there, period. If the mission of the store is to close early then you should not allowing customers in the store. I went there 30 min before closing, this particular employee did not want to use any machinery or serve what I wanted to purchase rather he kept saying that I should have called to have my order fulfilled ahead of time. Well, I do not know what I want to purchase until I see whats available. Overall, he is rude and disappointing experience and they have lost me as a customer.

Best beef tripe I have ever tasted! Very friendly staff.If you dont see it ASK.Its in the back.

Always outstanding. Terrific butchers, courteous service.

Best and spiciest mustard I have ever tried in my life. It looks like they make it themselves with custom label. I have not found better mustard in all of the world.

Absolutely delicious and fresh real smoked meat!

We are fortunate, indeed, to enjoy the services of EVMM. Get everything on your list and don’t forget the kielbasa!

Absolutely wonderful! I was a few dollars short and the owner told me not to worry about it and to enjoy my Holiday. Nobody does that anymore. Wonderful old school business. Food is top shelf, fresh, and reasonably priced.

This butcher is fantastic! Unbelievable that a local butcher of this quality is still able to exist in big-corporate America. George - one of teh main patrons/possibly the owner - is super helpful, gives great deals on large orders. They always have ready made stews and soups. Sausages are unbeatable. We get our holidays roasts here every time - pork with extra crackling. Definitely worth a visit no matter how big or small your meal is. And they have sweet pastries as well!!!

East Village meat market is a great butcher shop. I was lucky enough to go into their prep area and see the locker full of kielbasa smoking in the back. If you love cured Polish meat products like all sorts of hams and varieties of sausages this is a wonderful place to get them. Its one of the only polish butcher is left in York City and totally worth visiting. They also sell fresh meats.They carry a range of prepared foods as well like perogies and schnitzels.

Good Ukranian comfort food... Love it! My weekly comfort! Saturday ONLY! And a True American, contributing to the local economy... :)

The best. Great variety. Great taste.On many Saturdays they have a hot table that demands a visit.

Great market!! I found here delicious pastries as banks, rye bread and also angel wings. They sell my favorite bubble chocolate. Service is great. Prices are fine. They also sell at lot of types of pierogies, and of course different kind of meat.

This might be the last Ukrainian butcher in East Village and it is definitely the best in the area, if not the city.They have their own cold cut meats and they are high quality and are very reasonably priced. I really like the city ham, head cheese and their roasted turkey. More importantly, I love their Ukrainian specialties including kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, bintzers, and dumplings.I am going to miss this butcher shop after I move out of EV!

Everything fresh,the food is so good.Love this place

Yummy!

This store can be a little overwhelming at first but the staff is friendly and will help guide you through it all. This is the go to place for Eastern European delicacies, especially cuts of meat. Their kobanos is legendary with an international following and their hams are the best Ive had since visiting Ukraine. No self-respecting Ukrainian would celebrate a holiday without stocking up here first so it can get nuts with a long line around then but most of the time its very accessible. Be sure to stop by!

I grew up a few blocks away from this place. There used to be many butchers like it and now its the only one. Its beyond delicious and I have never been disappointed.

This butcher is wonderful! Wonderful cuts of meat and very helpful and friendly employees. I always make sure to grab a warm cheese blintze, they’re delicious!

The best butcher shop in NYC hands down.It is a community fixture and has been for years... The quality is fantastic and the sausage is super tasty. As someone from this area, I hope it never disappears.

After I moved to east village, I found this place and often visited. But I guess today would be my last visit due to very unfriendly customer service. I am sad that this one guy can ruin whole business image.I told him that I was looking for pork shoulder and usually they asked me how much do you need or how many cuts do you need. But, this guy literally put the whole big chunk of pork shoulder on to the scale without asking me anything. I asked him that if he could cut it as I only need small amount for bbq for 2 people. He looked annoyed and told me “just tell me how much do you need, I don’t care if it is bbq or something else” and spoke in another language that I couldn’t understand next to another staff right after he said that to me. The way he looked at me and spoke to me was very unfriendly and rude.I wanted to support local business but I guess i will just stick to trader joe’s, no need to bother myself to stop by two places for grocery shopping anymore.

The only place where you can find great value in food. Especially when you go on Saturday. There is a great deal of food only available on this day. You can choose from pierogies, stuff cabbage, and veal meatballs

Great buffet on Saturdays with tons of homemade perogis and tons of other delicious homemade food. Great eggs, butter, mustard, and most of the bread is top notch. Best bacon in the east village. I repeat, best bacon in the east village. I go about once or twice a week and get a half lb or lb at a time. This place has survived the extreme gentrification that has occured for a reason.

They do not accept ebt. I cant really say Ill give it 5 Stars because I never been there. I also do not hate this business.

Awesome place, so unique! Good price, huge choice and lovely service! Good job Guys!!

This is truly one of the great butchers in New York, especially for pork products. No nonsense service, fast but friendly, combined with great quality of their wares and the excellent prices, keeps customers like me coming back for years.

Always feel like part of the family when I stop in. Kielbasa beyond compare.

I have been shopping here for decades and I have never been disappointed. The kielbasa is great and the smoked meats superb! Try all the sausages, you will not be disappointed.

Its been 50 yrs since I have been there, but every year I get Keilbasa and cold cuts, brought by a Friend. It hasnt changed.. Love it so much..

Ukrainian neighborhood butcher featuring premium meats and home smoked sausage (kielbasa) which is prepared daily in their kitchen. Once a year in October they host Pierogi Tasting Day when they give out free samples of pierogi (varenyky). The line stretches for blocks.

Legendary place.

Been coming to this place since I was in a stroller, when the butchers used to feed me bits of knabber nossi. This place is unassuming on the outside and delicious on the inside, just like the stuffed cabbage rolls they sell (pro tip: buy one for lunch and heat it up in ur office kitchen. Enjoy w a liberal serving of sour cream )

Great kielbasa

My favorite Polish deli - I always pick up a few pounds of kabanosy here. Ive tried a few of their deli meats and theyve been pretty damn good. You can also pick up some Polish candies and other miscellaneous things. The only complaint I have is that their their hours are a bit limiting so I cant ever get their on weekdays.

Delicious kielbasa

One of the best kolbasy, double smoke kolbasy, garlic kolbasy you can buy in New York

Awesome. The best Ukranian meat market ever. Definitely go there and get a kielbasa. And if you have time definitely go to Veselka across the street to try there borscht. The borscht is made with meat from there

Wow! Awesome experience of meat delicatessen! The manager is so polite and helpful.

Most delicious kielbasa in the east village. Great butcher, and a good selection of Ukrainian products. Their mustard is delicious .

What a good find. I stumbled into this place with my cousin for a few heros. A+

An incredible staple of the true east village. A must cherish and great food.

They close before 6pm or whenever they feel like it. Multiple times I have gotten there way before 6pm and they were closed. Very disappointing.

Great Eastern European butcher and delicatessen. Good kielbasa and pre made food like cucumber 🥒 salad, Beets salad, stuffed cabbage, etc . I also like te bread 🍞freshly made ! Also like the marinated fish 🐟 Service is nice !

I caught friends who live miles away come to shop here. Slightly grumpy staff, but everything else here is awesome. Especially if you urgently need a fix of Central/Eastern European sausage. Oh and chocolate. Cant have sausage without chocolate.

Hard to beat smoked keilbasa & beer sausage. I see you.

Prepared meals at decent prices AND homemade soup...yummm

Superb selection, wonderful and knowledgeable staff, and above all thoroughly delicious.

Love these guys. Old world New York at its finest!

I love this place

Lovely polish butcher everything nice and fresh and of great quality and the people who work there are very kind and very helpful

Went for Pierogi day to try them, it was pretty good -- Short rib - very meaty and tasty- Potato cheese - classic, and goodTheir pierogies are served at various restaurants in the area.Considering the service/lines at some of those other restaurant, I would buy from EV meat market next time next time I have a pierogi craving.They have corned beef and other smoked meat, which I might check out next time.Friendly staff$2 for a fairly large apple or cheese pastry - Bread was a little dry, but the apple filling is good.

You must try their Kielbasi. Its too good to be true.

Authentic Blitzes :) Blueberry one was outstanding - plain cheese was a little dry in comparison.

Great polish food, thanks good for poland !

The great ukrainian store

The smoked garlic kielbasa soaked in beer and grilled! Beautiful dream!

The last remaining Ukrainian Meat Store. Great Hot food on Saturdays including amazing corned beef
