Best meal I've had in a long time. The dumplings were amazing. I had the rack of lamb and it was cooked just perfect. My Gfs beef stroganoff was also delicious. The Flan Espresso Martini was a nice take, very creamy. Igor was a great server. Even on gasparilla night we were very well taken care of.

From reservation to check, five stars. Couple things I would recommend: 1, check out the menu first and 2, if you're a two top specifically request NOT to sit at the table near the single stall restrooms or outside door. Our waiter was phenomenal and never missing. Food display and arrival was superb. Sincerely appreciated the entire experience.

Amazing food, great atmosphere. The espresso martini was, chef's kiss. Czech Pilsner I got was so sweet and exactly what I expected.
Andrew
Authentic, high quality Ukrainian, Russians and Eastern European food. Nice staff. Prompt service. Kind hostess at check in, our waiter was super kind as well. The piano player was a nice bonus. Thank you. First time out of town visitors.

This was the second meal there. It was my birthday! They gave me some flavored vodka for a birthday toast. yum. The beet and goat salad was once again perfectly dressed. didn't have to say "light dressing." There is an egg/potato/cheese pie that is excellent. We got one and froze part of it! Excellent before and after freezing. I got stuffed cabbage, he got the grilled chicken skewer. More than you can eat in a single meal and then..... dessert... bird something. I'm not a desert eater but dang! Great vibe, nice people, and we are definitely going back!

Went here with my girlfriend for dinner and it was delicious! She loves Russian/Eastern European food and this did not disappoint! Great live music on Saturday night, house infused vodka was great, and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!!

This isn't just a restaurant..... This is a destination, but you don't wanna miss. Everyone, I have taken there while skeptical that they would like the food walked away, wanting to come back!!
I feel like this is a very underrated spot in Tampa. The food is not only incredible, but so comforting while being elevated. I can't wait to come back!

As always, this place is definitely one of our favorite spots, and we will never get tired of coming back here with family. Thank you for celebrating my husband's birthday with us!

Genuine Slavic cuisine and relaxed rustic ambience, truly felt like I visited granny's place. Great to dine with close friends and family. Georgian Alazani red desert wine is excellent!

Food was excellent, I ordered a dry martini. It was heavy on vermouth and was charged a $4.00 up charge on house vodka? Ambience was great throughout most of restaurant. One area had bare bulbs hanging that were annoying. We were done eating waiting for server who we hadn't seen in a while. When we asked for dessert menu at 8:50 pm we were told they close at 9:00pm.

We had a party of eight for Thanksgiving dinner. We chose Babushka's because of its proximity to my daughter's work. She drew the night shift at TGH, and we wanted to be together for Thanksgiving. The food was great and the service cordial and efficient. They did offer a Turkey Kiev to fit with the holiday. My wife had that and loved it. I recommend this place highly. It is different but very enjoyable.
