We enjoyed every moment and every bite at this place. Everything was freshly made to perfection understanding Eastern European cuisine and with love and respect for those with a palate for it. The honey cake was superb and impossibly close to my mom’s. The only bad thing here was that I couldn’t eat and drink every item on the menu, though we did our best and almost rolled out of the restaurant with leftovers and a takeout for the next day. The place is easy, cute and cozy with very friendly people who took great care of us. We were in the area for a visit and are sad we can’t come here regularly. We’ll definitely be back our next time in town! Hope this place continues thriving 💙💛

Wonderful dinner. Lamb stew was amazing. Appetizers all really good: pelmeni, salad, potatoes. Solid wine list. Rave reviews from the group as well although one had the lamb (not the stew) and said was hard to chew. Overall fantastic dinner supporting a local business!

Great food and service. My husband and I sat on the outside deck. We both loved the beef stroganoff with noodles, a summer salad, and a slice of honey cake. We will definitely go back to try other dishes.

We ate outside on their large patio. The tables are spaced generously, so we weren't on top of another table. Food was amazing!
A True Taste of Home at Cafe Dacha Cafe Dacha is a wonderful haven for Eastern Europeans craving the taste of home. Every dish we ordered was clearly prepared with love and care. We started with unique drinks—my husband tried a new Ukrainian beer and was not disappointed, while I enjoyed a vodka soda with a delightful cherry twist. The borsch was full of rich, authentic flavor. We also had a long-standing craving for fried potatoes, which weren't on the menu, but the staff happily prepared them for us—an unexpected and much-appreciated gesture. The lamb kebab was incredibly tender, melting in the mouth with each bite. For dessert, I had planned to save part of my Napoleon cake for later, but we couldn't resist and ended up finishing it on the spot. It was perfectly crusty rather than moist—exactly how I love it and rarely find it prepared. The service was both quick and exceptionally friendly. Even though the restaurant was full, it remained peaceful and gave us the perfect setting to talk and celebrate our wedding anniversary. Definitely recommended—we'll be back for more!

Grat food and service. Staff was attentive,?but not overbearing. Comfortable locating with Kent of free parking.

Great Ukrainian/Russian food. Always tasty and fresh. Service is excellent for this cozy place in Highland Park. We're regulars here and definitely recommend the place. Must try the salmon, pan fried potatoes, borscht, vareniki.

We have been coming to Dacha for few years now for authentic food and great service. Their fried potatoes are the best. Great selection of entrees, portions are large enough to share, desserts are great too. Our favorite is honey cake.
