2400 N Harlem Ave, Elmwood Park“I’ve been shooting at that store more than 10 years and I love it now I would like to share my experience it’s such an amazing one stop to shop they have everything from the Middle East and more their price very reasonable compared to other places everything fresh the store very clean. The owner are wonderful. I recommend everybody to visit a shop from there.i wish Google has more than 5 starts but I will throw another 5 starts from me as a chef thanks allot brother’s grocery store”
“Often enough, I dine-in and get the daily special. Food is always fresh and fantastic and while you are waiting, they will offer samples of soup or other culinary delights. This time we ordered catering for a retiree party. 2 full trays of beef, 1 full tray of meatballs, 1 full tray of smoked beans and 1 full tray of roasted veggies. It came with all the buns, mild and hot giardiniera and roasted peppers. Everything was delicious. All trays were empty in 30 minutes! Thanks guys!”
“Incredible! The Sausage King of Chicago! Ordered the jalapeño sausage, hot italian sausage, and ghost pepper sausage for Da Bears tailgate party. Beyond amazing! Sal, one of the staff members, was incredibly friendly and very generous! Thanks again Sal! - I will 100% be back to try everything you guys sell!!”
“Amazing factory store of Polish meats, deli, and sausage. Everything at discounted factory prices. Very very fresh. On the weekend you can also get things such as condiments, fresh bread, and sweets.”
“Great place to get your favorite meats and not only. They have a nice variety of smoked meat, smoked sausage and even sweets. The owners always greet you with a smile on their face and it's always a pleasure to stop by. And BTW, they also deliver and ship cross country. I highly recommend Saravale Meat Market”
“I ordered a whole white fish for stuffing and asked that the guys remove the bones. And this was done to perfection - nary a bone in the finished baked fish that was just so fresh and delicious. While in to pick up the pre-ordered fish, I spied crab cakes in the display. I rather offended the guys by asking if they were good. My company are a fussy lot but everthing I've had from Carnivore has been super, so I took three 1/4 pound cakes. And they were literally AMAZING. Scant filler, all crab, subtley seasoned. With just a little browning in olive oil and warming through at 350F for 15 minutes, served on mixed greens, this was a perfect starter for the meal. Thank you, Carnivore, for delivering - again!”
“Nice selection of vegan goods and produce. I have occasionally gotten something less than quality in terms of vegetables.
Things to note is they do not take manufacture coupons, and can be a bit pricey for some every day items unfortunately.”
“I really enjoy shopping here. I find myself going very often will be going back today. Buying chicken wings Buffalo style. Also the pineapple upside down cake for dessert.”
“Cool place. They serve cold and hot food for lunch. Have a deli and cut meats. There is a frozen section also. The prices are kind of steep, but it is Hinsdale. Hopefully the stuff I got will be good. I'm sure I'd go back here again.”
“I adore this store for its flash frozen, portioned meets and seafood. The staff is helpful and attentive and the store offers quite a staggering selection of ordinart and unusual meats, fish, deserts, seafood, appetizers, etc. Very good prices for the quality, and they alsi deliver!”
“First visit. Checked out prepared foods. Bought a few meats and potatoes. Have not tried yet. Friendly and quiet environment. Reminds us of Florida shopping centers.”
“Go here now. Legit went in clueless… searching for the perfect steak taco recipe. They helped me with it all! Tenderized the meat, cut it perfectly up so it wasn’t a hassle later on, and they even had chopped up onion and cilantro packaged up. Icing on the cake (taco) was their fresh made salsa! . Thanks for the help! The tacos we made for dinner tonight were delicious!!”
““Authentic”-Kielbasa craving???
Look no further than Kurowski.
Never in all my years of shopping here
have I ever found an English-speaking-Polish-Foodie able to describe the differences of the +20 types of
Smoked-Sausages they make here
( & sell here as well).
It is a place that smells as good as it tastes.?
Their Hot Food bar offers a great Polish Lunch selection, as well as the refrigerated display case featuring my fav- a Carrot “Salad”/Slaw w/Raisins, as well as other pickled items and coleslaw.
Sadly, since The Pandemic they’ve stopped selling “bones” inna Blue-Plastic-Barrel.
The piggy bones were great to use for soups or stocks, & my Honduraino buddy literally drooled(& kissed me) over the “trotters”
I gifted him that were pulled-outta that
Blue Barrel.
The southern 1/2 of the stores sells all sorts of non-meat items from European Butter & Cheese to Dill Pickles inna barrel to
Gluten-Free-Breads made w/Sunflower Seeds!
“Pro-Tip”:: For your next picnic ( or cocktail gathering)- may I suggest getting
a few pairs of “Kabonosy” + also request a
2” thick slice (use Sign-Language-to-show-Thickness?) of their Smoked-Gouda Cheese ( pronounced-“How-dah”)>
and b4 your picnic cut into small cubes /slice the Kabonosy into lil bite-sizes> & toothpick-em-together! (Maybe go crazy& skewer a Gherkin on it too!)
(Insiders alert- on the top of
the Stainless counter, over by The scales are broken Kielbasa packaged and sold for
a steep discount)
A bit of Chicago Retail History, this address was formerly the home of “Animal Kingdom”
Pet-Shop.
Wanna Snake?
Wanna Lizard?
Wanna Ocelot?
Turtles-big and small?
Wanna goldfish ( to feed to the Turtle!?)
Even an occasional Capuccian Monkey ?
( think Organ Grinder)
All sorts of legit & questionable live animals used to be sold here
Kurowski Sausage is -
CHICAGO’s VERY OWN!”
“The pastrami is to DIE for. We get the “house cut”. Warm it up in a pan at home but not too much. It melts in your mouth. We love pastrami and eat it and “rate it” everywhere we go and this is our favorite. I send it to my son out of state he misses it.”
“I saw the sign for the market and thought let me see what it is all about. I love small local stores. The store is a lot bigger inside then I thought it would be. The store offers a deli, butcher/meat counter, and the general store items. The line was very long at the time I went in so I didn't buy anything but I did note that the prices are somewhat higher than I expected. I think as far a small local market it is nice as an option especially for deli and meats. Overall, I will definitely go back when I have more time to wait in line or at a time it isn't so busy. I think I would like to try the meat and deli items for my next BBQ.”
“i purchased a toogoodtogo from this store and they gave me a bag full of inedible food that expired MONTHS ago (oldest item expired in july of 2022). the purpose of toogoodtogo is to stop good food from going to waste, not to turn a profit off of spoiled food that actually belongs in the trash. that's not the spirit of the app at all, and it's a real scummy thing to do.”
“Great little market with many hidden gems like rosewater, orange blossom water, dates, and halva. A huge selection of tea and coffee, sweets, and spices. I will be doing more of my shopping here, this is a pastry chef's dream!”
“Great prime meats...awesome service... everyone is very knowledgeable and customer oriented . .they been supplying us at the grill on the alley for a couple of years...”
“Just wanted to drop you a line that my wife and I used your delicious pepperoni on our homemade skillet pizza on Saturday - the best tasting one we ever made!Your pepperoni is the only pepperoni we want to use.Keep up the good work!!!”
“I go to Adrian's for everything. They've got all the protein rich food I need to gain muscle and all the drinks and chips that make me remember my time in Mexico. Whether I'm preparing food for myself or for a party or just trying to win the lottery, Adrian's is where I go.”
“Got here at 9:43 am ..they recieve from 4am to 12pmAfter 10 min, truck pulled out from door 22, immediately im unloaded.THEY OFFER TO.WASH OUT TRAILERS HERE.....WOW...SERVICE!!!!!!!!! A++++Clean facilityCan't speak to overnight parking, due to the fact that they have a closing gate in the front ...they might be "banker hours" here (m-f 4am-3pm) ...”
“This place is amazing! It's mainly Mexican style food. They have a hot food bar. They put it out "Fresh Everyday". If they fill up the food bar at 10am- by 1:30pm. Its only scrapes left because the food on is OMG, good food, very fair portions, and the price is right! Looking forward to returning for a few items.”

4410 N Harlem Ave, Norridge“Easter March 31, 2024 EASTER!! I had the most wonderful experience and it is because of your staff. First of all, I should have gone to Caputo's first for my Easter dinner. Mariano's was sold out and everywhere else was too expensive.I ran into an employee named Chef Joey. Chef Joey was outstanding in every way. Joey listened to what I wanted to buy and spend, he offered suggestions and came through for me and my family.The ham, beans and different potatoes were a huge hit. All the food was packaged hot and fresh. My only mistake was that I did not come to Caputo's in Norridge first.Chef Joey is one of your finest stars at Caputo's. Please recognize this fine gentleman.Thank You Caputo's!Mark O'Brien”
“I shop here for meats and sausages for the grill. Great cuts of steaks for the money. Salads from the deli are very good too. The owner is very nice and cut the meat as I asked. There still is plenty for me to try here. No complaints worth the drive! AAA+”
“High quality meat, wide selection, competitive prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not much else you could ask for in a local butcher shop. I’ll definitely be back soon”
“This is the magical type of butcher and market that is vanishing all over the country. Thankfully, Paulina continues to push ahead with the finest selection and the customer service to go with it.”
“There tacos change they over stuff my tacos and the meat was not cut for tacos,I had a chorizo taco like the chorizo wasent cut of the skin and the other tacos pastor and asada were really shisty so I trough away all 3 tacos and had the decency to swallow the pride whit a coke”

755 Thomas Dr, Bensenville“Place is OK. 2 slot inside dock can get even tighter if the first guy goes in a little cockeyed. Works more along the lines of first come first served. Don't get there too early because they will still be loading their own trucks and you'll just be wasting your time. Guys there are easy enough to work with. If it wasn't for the tight inside dock they would get 5 stars.”
“I came in for a leg of lamb for Easter.Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. The price was the best by far. I saw they also had lamb shoulder so I went with that. It was frozen and when I defrosted it overnight in my fridge and it thawed out, it looked great and had no smell to it - so it was fresh. We had the lamb as part of our dinner tonight and everyone loved it.I can understand what some have mentioned about the smell however, that's been the case for any butcher shop I've been to... unfortunately it seems to be in the air.The produce looked okay, not the greatest but I came in for something else.While checking out with my purchases, the staff were curteous and kind. Overall my experience was great.”
“Love this grocery store! Go there with enough time to explore every aisle because you will find all sorts of interesting, diverse, and exotic foods from all over the world. (The carry my favorite Thai curry paste!) Prices are competitive and selection vast. The store is much larger than it appears!I love the fresh Italian bakery and varieties of bread. The selection of wines is not vast, but there is a nice range. (For example, we didn't see any imported Porta.)”
