Glad to see there are over 400 good reasons (reviews) that Anelya has received. These high scores are well deserved. The atmosphere, service/staff and meal are all Michelin (and James Beard) worthy. Tucked in the Avondale neighborhood, if you haven't been here, put this restaurant on your bucket visit list. Yes, the menu is highly related to Ukranian cuisine. While I'm not familiar with their cuiisne, everyhting we had (soooo many items was extraordinary. Treat yourself - you won't. be disappointed.

I had my first experience with Ukrainian food. I got the borsch, garlic bread, and herring dip. The herring dip wasn’t my favorite but I loved everything else.

Pate was delicious, and the sunflower hummus was yummy, too. But my favorite is definitely Krovyanka!

Good was great, flavors were interesting and well-balanced. Ambiance was very nice. Service fell short, however.

First time having Ukrainian food, we got to sit by the kitchen window so you could see everyone prepare everything. It was busy but everything will flawlessly. We ordered from a set menu which have no borscht, I never tried it before so I asked for a small cup to try and they brought me one. Every course was delicious and the service was excellent, quick, fairly priced.

We loved our evening at Anelya! The cocktails were creative and yummy! The Zakusy were delicious & the tableside cart was fun! We ordered both broths, the potato pancakes, the vegetable ragout & short ribs. Everything was amazing! Our server was nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

This cuisine was a new experience for me, but all of the small plates are really good as were the entrees. The atmosphere is intimate. The decor is really suitable for a date night.

Delicious meal for restaurant week, wonderful drink (whisky infused with my favorite tea, lapsang souchong, was a delight), and the hand lotion in the bathroom left my hands softer than they'd been in months. Seriously, if someone knows what that lotion is, please tell me, I genuinely considered calling the restaurant after leaving to ask.
Made me wait for my other person before seating which is fine but but didn't do it for next group which was annoying. Food ad service were great after that.

Anelya is a fantastic restaurant. That said, their restaurant week presentation missed the mark. Portions were very small (I say this as a petite woman!) and were misrepresented on their Instagram account. We were served the entire meal in about 40 minutes and felt rushed. Left hungry. We will return for their regular menu but I would not recommend CRW at Anelya.

Maybe it's just Ukrainian cuisine... Not for me. But the staff and service was perfect.
