Babushka’s Deli Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I used to love this store because I did not know any better in Indy. Tastes of Europe on 96th is good but it does not have much of Ukrainian or Polish products, like Roshen chocolate, certain types of dumplings and vareniki, etc. So Babushka's Deli was a true find for me. I have been a regular customer, but found that some products are way overpriced in comparison to similar stores in Chicago or New York. I also noticed that several times they cheated on the weights, when I'd get caviar or candy. I hope they've learned and do not do it anymore. I am now very happy to discover the mini-mart on Rangeline Rd with a great Ukrainian, Polish and Russian food selection. Stopped going to Babushka's Deli, prefer not to be lied to. Glad Indy is getting more competition in the market of Easter European foods.

    Absolutely love this place! The owners are very gracious and helpful. I have a lot of Russian friends back home in Los Angeles. We always frequent the Russian grocery stores and restaurants. Now that I moved to Indy, I miss the smoked salmon, variniki, Russian candies and my favorite Dadu ice cream. Well, a little slice of Russian heaven is here in Indy! I was able to get some of my Russian fave in this store. Definitely worth visiting!

    All the Russian staples under one tiny roof: Kvas, halva, sushki, chocolates, sparkling wines, pechen'ye. Brown bread and several types of pelmeni (ravioli to be boiled and eaten as soup in broth), as well a blinchiki (filled crepes) in the freezer. Sour cream and cottage cheese closely approximating "old world". Wide selection of canned goods (pickles, tomatoes, shproty, compotes). Around the holidays, ask about red caviar sold by weight - best and freshest caviar I was able to find so far in the States.

    I absolutely love going to this store. I hate that I am not fluent in Russian but I do really enjoy the cuisine. I am able to find great bread, tasty ravioli and deli meats that myself and my kids love. They also have an awesome candy corner which my toddler loves. He knows he always gets to pick out a candy when we go. I have never been to Babushka's and not gotten outstanding customer service... I love this deli and will definitely continue going to this local gem.

    I found this place to be very unethical ion their business dealings. I was charged for 1.5 pounds of caviar and when weighed at home( I have a professional meat scale it was barely over 1.09 pounds. When speaking with the owner I was basically called a liar. I will never return.

    I love Babushka's Deli. I'm giving it a five because it is a one-of-kind place in Indy. We're a city that lacks Slavic food, and this is really the only place to get it (although I hear, and am dying to try a new place that opened at 96th and Michigan). The place is small and cramped, but this certainly does not take away from its selection. In fact, it reminds me of a lot of corner stores I've visited in Russia. Do yourself a favor and give Babushka's a shot. You won't be sorry.

    Still around. Very clean. Looks a little down-sized compared to a few years ago. Rye and pumpernickel bread from Chicago. Imported meats, cheese, fish, sausage etc. A dessert case with rich sweets. Canned/bottled vegetables. Imported chocolates/candies. Very worthy of patronage, or browsing for something different/exotic when you're in the neighborhood.

    Nice food. I love their cakes. Cakes by Royal Bakery are especially good. You don't find such cakes in American supermarkets. The cakes are pricey $30.00 for large cake + tax. Prices are through the roof. I purchased 3 items paid $50.00.... Altho sausages and European food is nice, but compared to Chicago's European deli stores, prices are outrageous.

    Some hard to find -- and really good -- offerings make this a great destination. Baltika beer is excellent (especially #7). Best bread in the city (brick pumpernickel from the Baltic Bakery in Chicago), best tea selection I've seen, and excellent Georgian red wines. Beautiful fish and sausages.

    Privetichki, tovarish! Babushka's (pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, thank you) takes me back. Oh, does it ever. First of all, depending on who's in that day, the staff can be a bit too authentic (read: cross, sneering, condescending or all of the above) for my taste. This is really why I'm giving it three stars. Additionally, the prices frustrate me, as I know what the items cost in Rossiya, and it's a fraction of what they cost here. However, that's just a personal quirk, and really has no bearing on this review-- by American standards, I think that they're fairly priced. If you're Russian and hankering for a taste of the Rodina, or if you're an American like me who has spent a good amount of time there, or if you're just curious, this is your place. Good selection of pelmeni and varenikhi (the dumplings), which can be filled with meat, cheese or fruit; Russian candy; pickles; many varieties of salted fish; tea, etc. They also have typical Russian...stuff, for lack of a better word...like matroshki (nesting dolls), samovars, and possibly some amber. You can also buy Russian magazines, listen to Russian news on the tv and see ads posted in Russian on the bulletin board.

    One of Indy's only Russian Delis carries products from Turkey to Transylvania. The front features pickles of every size, shape and origin. The freezer has "hand-made" dumplings from Turkey, Russia, and Siberia. The back wall features Russian beer and a wealth of wines--including Dracula's Blood, a Transylvanian red. Bread Kvass in liter bottles at the front only looks like beer, from the cover pictures of men drinking from Steins. Lots of fish and sausage in the cases up front--especially herring. Lots looks to be "imported" from delis in Chicago.
