Linas Place

Groceries and Prepared Meals: From Red Caviar to Homemade Cutlets and Kebab

A jar of herring for the potatoes, red caviar for the holiday table, honey, kefir and a cake for tea, and for dinner hot homemade cutlets, kebab and salads straight from the counter: Linas Place in Hamden brings Russian, East Slavic and Caucasian groceries and made-to-order food under one roof so the table looks like home.

Start with the ready meals: marinated fish, chicken cutlets, kebab and homestyle vegetable salads wait fresh on the counter, and for a special occasion dishes can be ordered ahead. If you cook yourself, you will find smoked and salted fish, deli meats, cheeses and farmer cheese, and for tea cakes, candies, honey and cookies.

The store brings together what is hard to find in an ordinary supermarket:
- red caviar and salmon
- cheeses, kefir and yogurts
- kvass in glass bottles
- sausages and deli meats
- candies, cakes and honey
- Caucasian foods

The store is small and the staff are friendly and will suggest where to start if you are looking for a taste from childhood. Stop in for groceries for dinner or a cake for the holiday.
