Borscht was super comforting especialy after adding the sour cream. As someone that hates tomato this was an exception, Pelmeni w mushroom sauce, was quite heavy for an appetizier but super creamyy and meat inside the dumpling was super generous and thick. I wish its more juicy.. but the mushroom sauce saved it Chicken stroganof, yellow rice was alr good. Flavour profile is very similar to the mushroom sauce for the pelmeni just this one is w/ chicken All the flavours were leaning to creamy and sweet

Comfortable, clean, friendly staff. We had the Ukrainian borscht and cold borsch, both were delicious. The Ukrainian borscht was hot and perfectly spiced. We had the smoked mackerel with potatoes. The potatoes were amazing with good garlic flavor and went well with the fish. The fish came with red onions which tasted amazing eaten together, the onions and fish flavors blended nicely. We then had the stuffed cabbage. This was the best stuffed cabbage I ever ate. I love stuffed cabbage and have eaten it many times. I have had the Jewish style, comes with raisins and has a sweet and sour taste. It is always good but it couldn’t compare to this heavenly dish of Ukrainian stuffed cabbage. Light spicing, impeccable sauce and the meat tastes like veal. It was so smooth - just fabulous. I can’t wait to go back to try many more items on the menu. This place rocks - go eat here!

... Good service in this restaurant. I love ordering lamb kebab here. And some mashed potatoes or French fries to go with the lamb kebab. It’s also good to take beef goulash. There are also delicious dumplings and I ordered delicious dumplings with cherries. The waiters are always polite and I always leave them a tip because I like the way they serve here. The only minus is when someone sitting next to them drinks vodka. I can’t stand the smell of vodka, that’s the only minus but I try to choose a place where it’s in the corner and no one is sitting next to them, they also don’t accept American Express credit cards and they also have dumplings that you can buy and cook at home тут снимали фильм Оружейный барон This is where the movie The Lord of War was filmed. Updated 05\24/2024 everything remained delicious and excellent. But I don’t recommend buying ready-made pilmeni. since they are boiled soft, dumplings with meat are even less tasty...

Excellent, unpretentious cafe in Brighton Beach. The Borscht transported me back to my childhood. Highly recommended if you’re in the area.

went to this place as my first authentic Russian experience in Brighton Beach after having lived here so many years and didn't realize how much I was missing out. had the potato and mushroom verenikis and borscht, was delicious and very comforting. tried. also. the schnitzel which was very good and I really weird crepe thing called the frigates I think anyway would highly recommend and also had the pair soda which tastes like guarana from Brazil

My friend and I actually got pretty good service at this place, we came here for an early dinner. I loved the Borscht, stuffed cabbage, and meat vareniki. She thought her seafood pasta was really good. Blintzes with farmer cheese was not our thing. Would definitely come back again next time I'm in the Brighton Beach area

We came here based on a recommendation as a Ukrainian café. However, in reality, the place feels quite different. The owners are not Ukrainian, and the atmosphere does not reflect Ukrainian culture. Aside from some menu items, there is nothing particularly Ukrainian about this place.

Food and service are good. Soup is tasty.

Tight tables, not easy to maneuver. Small 6 oz or less of fruit drink is $6 about 8 Oz of soup is $12. Literally Michelin star prices for a corner Ukranian coffee shop.

happy to visit this place because it reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. most of the food is fantastic and fresh, yet it comes super fast. waiter was nice and attentive. drinks were good. patio is nicely set up although loud from the train. bathroom is ok. busy spot but still room on the weekend. love that the patio is dog friendly. everything was going perfect until we left - my dog has an eye disease (pannus) so she has to wear sunglasses. the chef was smoking outside and started harassing us when he noticed my dog saying “we are blinding her and hurting the dog”. found this really annoying because he would not leave us alone. and again, my dog wears the sunglasses because she literally has an eye disease so i’m prolonging her vision before she goes blind lol
