Shopping at a Russian supermarket in Moscow

This is a continuation from my previous post on: A Recommendation: Affordable accommodation in Moscow, Izmailovo Gamma Delta

There was a supermarket near our hotel at Izmailovo Gamma Delta near the Partizanskaya metro station, a 25 minute train ride from the city. It made things really convenient for us, as we could get ready-to-eat hot food there for breakfast. We tried an eggplant and chicken leg which was nice, though I thought the rice was a little stale and oily.

The selection is items were quite interesting and very wide, though the prices are slightly higher than what you would find in an Asian country. I would say, it’s on par with prices in other European countries. Check out the pictures below!

Russian supermarket wine — A wine lover’s delight. Prices are on the high side as it’s a stone’s throw away from the hotels.

russian supermarket beer — Draft beer for sale too!

russian supermarket sausage — Lots of Russian sausages. Not sure if they are yummy or not

Russian supermarket kebab — Kebab type of thing we ate at the Russian Supermarket

Eggplant with cheese — Love the eggplant with cheese concoction

Russian supermarket fried food — Fried food FTW!

Russian supermarket rice — Dubious looking rice

Russian supermarket meatballs — Russia is the place for meatballs

Russian supermarket kebab store — Assortment of pickles and kebabs on sale

Russian supermarket turkish bbq meat — Turkish bbq meat

Russian supermarket cooked rice — Don’t eat the rice! It’s probably been there for days

I’d say, they have got pretty much covered in the areas of food. As for non-food items, it’s best you head to somewhere else. There were some nail clippers/ bottles of shampoo on sale, but no one was tending to that area. It looked like ages since anyone had bought a non-food item from there.
