Landau’s Kosher Supermarket

This store is not among the better stores in Brooklyn, but it’s convenient for many reasons, including its proximity to the F train and the B8 bus stop outside, and the mikvah outside for immersing new vessels is a great convenience, although G-​d only knows what’s floating or growing in that water. The meat selection isn’t wonderful, although for basic things like chopped meat, chicken cutlets, pepper steak, etc. it’s not bad. They didn’t have any veal cutlets on a recent visit, except for frozen, which looked like they were turning green. You have to exercise some caution when buying products here; some items on the shelves do not have reliable kosher certification, and you need to be an educated consumer to know what’s acceptable and not. I like the fact that they have food service-​size 5 lb. packages of prechecked kosher salads, like Postiv romaine lettuce. Very convenient. Anything sold as prechecked from within the store itself I tend to avoid. They oddly enough have a very large selection of kosher grape juices, and they sell kosher wine within the store, which I’m not sure is legal in NYC or NYS. The produce outside is like that of any NYC market, abundant, and not the best in quality, but for basic things, it’s not bad. I never had anything delivered, so I can’t speak to infestation.

*** ROACHES *** will come home with your groceries !! I have seen roaches crawl out of their Landaus’ boxes every single time I shop there. Disgusting to say the least.
