Everything was beautiful to eat and look at--the national pot with the homemade bread hat is really special. Super kind, attentive service.

My wife and I got the cabbage rolls, beef stroganoff, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, and honey cake. Everything was so delicious. We’re here visiting and I wish we had a location near us.

A unique restaurant. Great food. The tables and chairs could be better. They don't use a soda dispenser. They don't sell wine, but you can bring your own bottle, which is pretty cool.

Absolutely fantastic. This is the kind of food that makes you feel at home the second you take a bite. Everything tasted homemade, comforting, and full of care. As if someone’s grandma was in the kitchen doing things the right way. Portions were great, flavors were spot on, and the whole experience just felt genuine. We’ll 100% be back.

This is our favorite restaurant ever. (We’ve been to the fancy, overpriced downtown restaurants.) The staff are always pleasant, and the food is always delicious and comforting. We did get it the Saturday before last (1/24) and the Clay Pot and Honey Cake were very very dry :( it was the only time it had ever been like this and we will definitely be going back. I thought it was worth mentioning because it would be a shame to miss out on this place for the one bad experience. It is so, so good. Comfort food for sure. They also have teas and coffees for amazing prices! They gave my baby free blueberries just because! This place is amazing!

Went for the first time today with my father.
Very cozy vibe, yummy food. The lady that took our order was so friendly.
The food was wonderful. Nice amount of food but it didn't leave you with a heavy feeling. Wonderful flavors.

This is one of the best restaurants we have had for service, food, dessert... Everything. It was so good I forgot to take pictures to add to what's here. The only downside is they are so good that they run out of items. It is a small, handmade, local place. I will be driving the 40 minutes to eat here again.

A little cramped but everything was delicious and flavorful, but the honey cake was so spectacular I had to write this review.
My wife and I have been there twice in the past couple weeks. The food is high quality, and wonderfully made. The coffee is very good and eloquently served. A MUST GO TO for anyone who likes good food!

We had Olesya’s prepare a variety of dishes family style for our office holiday luncheon. It was all fabulous.
I cannot express with greater fervor the beauty of this hidden gem in Columbus, IN. I feel like the food critic in Ratatouille gushing over every bite!
We started with the Mushroom soup, which had the most amazing flavor; when we finished our meal, we ordered abother double batch to go. They have a bundle for 2 that we took advantage of to order the Ukrainian national clay pot, which was like the ultimate comfort food on a cold December afternoon, and the mushroom dumplings, which were delicious. Even the signature cabbage salad was amazing (I don’t normally enjoy cabbage, but I stole about half of the one my wife ordered.
The server was affable and made the first time experience a memorable one. It is a small floor plan, with space for ~25 people. Everything a clean, neat, and well maintained.
We stopped here on a lark after a road trip to Indy. We are already planning our next road trip to Columbus just to go here again and we have not even left the restaurant yet!
