Friendly Food

Russian and Ukrainian Grocery and Home Cooking

Friendly Food is a family-run Eastern European grocery on Scholls Ferry Road, offering sausages, cheeses, and produce alongside a large selection of homemade prepared foods: fresh-baked bread, savory hand pies, fried meat turnovers, crepes, cabbage rolls, dumplings, and a well-loved borscht. National dishes are cooked right in the store and sold hot or cold, with orders taken in advance as well.

The prepared-food counter is the main reason people keep coming back: crepes, a rich borscht, tender cabbage rolls, and dumplings are all made right on site rather than shipped in from elsewhere. The store also carries smoked fish and caviar that regulars specifically rave about, along with a rotating selection of baked goods and sweets for tea.
