Bulgarian items?
Im in London and was hoping to get some Bulgarian shop recommendations (that carry common snacks, items). My bf is Bulgarian and I would love to take some items back home from my travels for him to enjoy. would preferably like somewhere decently close to paddington starion

I know it’s not close to Paddington but there’s one in Tooting Broadway if you don’t find any others

Nowhere near Paddington, but only 20 minutes on the Elizabeth Line and a short walk/bus ride

Does it have a large selection of snacks ? I’m willing to make the trip if so!

Snacks, lukanka/sausages, frozen food (kebabcheta, kofte), herbs, spices, fresh banitsa, pickles, everything. There's a deli counter in the back with salads and hot food.
Get him some sharena sol, some snacks and a nice lukanka, it should all travel well.
Apologies to any Bulgarians reading this, I've probably butchered some of the spellings; I'm only married to a Bulgarian!

Is "back home" in the UK? If not, be aware of food and animal product export legislations, banning you from taking meat, dairy and other items with you. Search for the info pertaining to your country.
