Grocery Stores in Belmont, MA

“I recently saw a post about someone finding dark spots on sliced meat (kalbas) and being worried about it. I wanted to share my experience. I've been seeing kalbas at the Super Vanak during different time periods, and I've noticed those dark spots too. I've always wondered about them.
I am nutritionist, so I did some research and found out that these dark spots are actually quite common in smoked meats. They're caused by the smoking process and are completely harmless. It's just a concentration of the smoke flavoring. So, no need to worry!
Of course, it's always important to trust your instincts, and if something looks or smells off, it's better to be safe than sorry. But for those who are wondering about the dark spots on kalbas, hopefully this helps!”

“I went on a trip to Cyprus last year and stayed on the Greek side of the island where I fell in love with the food. When I got back to Boston I HAD TO find somewhere that sells Greek products. This market has been on my to-go list for this past year and I finally made it here this past weekend. It's small store yet has so many variety of items you'll probably spend most of your time debating with yourself which to get over the other. Wide selection of honey, olive oils, cheeses, olives, breads etc. We bought the 2% greek yogurt which we were told is a customer favorite. And my God I've never tasted a yogurt like this before. I didn't even bother to sample the others. It was $4.59/lb and we got the 32oz container. And we also got a small pack of their granola which is so good I regret not getting the larger bag. We bought some fresh Feta which'll last up to 6months in the fridge and halloumi from the fridge section. Also got garlic hummus I had last night with some pita bread we bought from the store and it was good. We also tried some of their pastries which were delectable. I asked the lady by the cash register if the Indiana is the same thing as kok which I made sure to pronounce correctly and she took her by surprise and asked if I was Greek too and I said sadly no. Haha Everyone in the store was friendly and helpful. I will be back!”

“Great basic convenience store that reliably has a couple options for whatever random thing I’m out of. Only thing I’d love to see improved is more organic products, but maybe that’s not the convenience store demographic. New owners have longer hours which is nice (open till 9pm).”

“Convenient grocery store for residents around Belmont-Watertown area. Parking is spacious. This store has a nice fruit and vegetable section. Especially their grapefruits were very good quality.”
