Old Vilnius Cafe Deli

If you’re craving something that reminds you of home — or just want to try some hearty Eastern European dishes — this place hits the spot. I grabbed a to-go plate with mashed potatoes, veggies, and a cutlet, and washed it all down with a bottle of traditional bread kvass. Everything tasted homemade and satisfying. 🥔🥕🍞 Prices? Yeah, a bit on the higher side for a takeout box, but honestly — it’s worth it for the nostalgia and quality. The variety isn’t massive, but it covers the essentials. And besides food, they’ve got a bunch of cool Eastern European groceries and specialty items you won’t easily find elsewhere. The store itself is on the cozy (read: small) side, but that kind of adds to the charm. If you grew up with this kind of food, it’ll warm your soul. If you’re new to it — it’s a

Old Vilnius Cafe and Deli is one of those no-frills, straight-to-the-point spots that delivers exactly what it promises: solid, authentic Lithuanian food. The atmosphere isn’t flashy or overly cozy—it’s simple, clean, and all about the food. And honestly? That’s part of the charm.

Portions were generous, prices were fair, and nothing felt overdone or overcomplicated. Just good food, made right. Service was friendly and efficient—no fuss, no fluff. You order, you eat, you leave full and happy. And the deli section? A great bonus. Lots of unique items, from meats and cheeses to cookies and candies you don’t see in typical

Grand Duke's (63rd & Harlem) little brother/sister! I had a Groupon from the place that was nearing expiration - the only reason I hadn't gone is that it's kind of far and inconvenient for me. But knowing that the food would be along the lines of the Lithuanian food at its sister restaurant, I knew it would be well worth the trip. Started out with a cup of mushroom barley soup - good stuff, though suspiciously much like the sauce that adorns several entrée offerings. But that's OK - it's still good.

Goes great with dinner - would've ordered more, but the meal fills one up pretty well, so more beer isn't always a good idea. Time for dinner. As usual, I have a tough time figur
