La Dani Macelaru is a Romanian butcher-shop and supermarket that was established around 2020 by founder Danut Hrisca. Hrisca (often nicknamed “Dani Macelaru,” meaning “Dani the Butcher” in Romanian) opened the first location in the Queensbury/Edgware area of North London. The business quickly became popular in the local Romanian community for its authentic products and friendly service, earning a 5.0/5 customer rating online. In late 2023, La Dani Macelaru expanded by opening a second branch in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. This expansion, along with consistently high reviews and a top food hygiene rating, marks a significant milestone in the supermarket's growth.
Danut Hrisca Romanian-born entrepreneur, Hrisca started the business to bring a taste of Romanian tradition to London's Romanian and Eastern European community. He is the driving force behind the supermarket's focus on quality meats and authentic products, and is even referenced in the store's name (“La Dani Macelaru” refers to “Dani the Butcher,” a nod to Hrisca's role). Hrisca is the premises license holder for the Borehamwood shop and personally oversees operations
