So good place to dine in, but if you like some dietary dishes, definitely you should try delicious salad and slavic "brown rice" - buckwheat!If you're first time here, try their's cappuccino and cotleta po kievski!!The waiters are positive
Great food! Although they didn’t have any Russian cakes when we ate there :(
I can’t ever get enough of this hidden gem. They’re always consistent every single time and I’ve been ordering from this spot for maybe 15 years now. My go to dishes are the pan fried Branzino with mashed potato’s, lamb ribs, beef stroganoff, chicken broth and or borscht, Vareniki with meat, and everyone gets their Siberian pelmeni. You can even order frozen ones if you want to have some at the ready in your freezer.
BE AWARE OF BAD SERVICEI would not even give a one star. So sad..We were four people and patiently were waiting when table for us would be available. As u can see only table for two was available.New customers came after us ,couple. They were also patiently waiting. Finally, the lady got time to clean table for SIX and give it to new customers . BUT not for us . She looked at couple and said them to come and sit … We asked if they maybe had reservation, and serving lady lied to us , “they gonna be 5 “ !!! She lie , after we heard that couple were looking for table for TWO PERSON!!!Waiters left us with a word “ wait for available table”We left. I am really upset. I came to that place for the first and last time. Maybe it happened for better to us. At least got couple candies.
We were party of 4 when we came , they told us to wait 5 min to be seated , we were waiting and another couple came after us (2 ppl) , they blindly took them in front of us and gave them table for 6 and told us that there is no available table !!!Horrible attitude we got from waitress , I will never ever come to this place and I will never recommend this place for my friends.Very bad experience
Really good and cheap place for Russian food. Big portions. Always crowded. I know a lot of people who like this place. Food fresh, no complaints. Busy location on Coney Island avenue. Really big choice of dishes. Self made drinks. Any type of food preference could be satisfied. I recommend this place.
An update: visited this place recently: prices got much higher! Food got a bit worse, sizes are a bit smaller. Ordered grilled fish - was too fatty and soggy. My wife didn't eat it. French fries were also soggy. Looking at the menu- Prices wise- fried potatoes with mushrooms is $13?! That's greedy. 2 sticks of shish kebab (shashlik) from beef is $14?! That's grabby! No side-dishes are included for that place. It's a no for me. What a pity, it used to be a great and delicious cafe!Awesome Russian cuisine cafe! The food is authentic, portions are nice, prices are affordable. The staff is pleasant, always double-checks on orders making sure they are correct. The kitchen gives food fast! Food itself is tasty, you can't go wrong with salads, soups, or entrees. As a desert we order "pirogi" (vareniki) with cherries and with sweet cheese. For the prices - you get a great portion on your plate. Really happy with this place!
Great food! Me and my family always come here to eat! Great atmosphere, great food, great service. They have both Russian and English menus for anyone who is interested in trying some delicious Russian food. Recommend!!!
Guys if you wanna feel back in USSR it's a right spot. Everything are delicious, prices are amazing- you never forget it. First spot where I was able to feel back home.
It's a great place but I really wish they did deliveries. But they dont and that makes me sad
