I discovered this Russian souvenirs store by accident. A friend of mine asked me if I knew where she could fine Russian Matryoshka – a traditional Russian doll that consists of many dolls inside of each other. I did a quick search on Google and came across this store. Of course I had to check it out. Although it is not a Russian food store, I thought it would be worth while to add it to my blog since I get quite a few inquiries from you, dear reader, about where to find Russian collectibles and souvenirs. Not just I found a whole variety of Matryoshkas for sale conveniently available online, but quite a few other Russian collectibles. For instance, the wooden figurines of Ded Moroz (equivalent of Santa Claus) reminded me of childhood; amber jewelry peaces are also very typical Russian jewelry.
Liliana International store also has a physical address in Cupertino, but I have not been able to verify that yet.

Dear reader,
I have been writing my reviews for over 2 years now. I asked for your help in reviewing restaurants and adding new ones to my blog. There are, however, a few questions that I have not asked you yet:
- Is there anything that I can do, in your opinion, to improve my reviews and help you in choosing a restaurant or a store to visit?
- Is there any information that you would find helpful that I could add?
- Do you like the way my website is organized? Could you suggest any improvements?
- Do you have any information needs related to Russian food that are not yet fulfilled?
Please leave your feedback in comments to this post, or send me an email. Your help will be greatly appreciated and will help me to serve you better.
Regards,
Masha

Not too long ago I was notified of a new internet Russian food store
russianfooddirect.com
It has a great selection of all the necessities and more. The prices are reasonable, shipping is almost free or very discounted across the US. The categorization is great, it even features kosher and diet selections.

Pomegranate is a highly recommended Russian Georgian restaurant in San Diego. I am yet to try it myself – it was recommended to me by a friend. I found a lot of very positive reviews for Pomegranate, featuring quotes like “the only real restaurant in San Diego”, “a rear treasure of a restaurant”, and “you need to eat here at least ones”. As for the food – try the specials and the shashlyk. Oh, and don’t be repelled by the menu – it has funny descriptions of every dish without any explanation of what it actually is – what ever you select will be the best taste and quality.
Pomegranate Restaurant
