Here’s what my Moldavian girlfriend thought:

The borsht put a big smile on her face, it tasted perfect and was “10/10 authentic”. We put sour cream in it and it was wonderful.

The Sarmale tasted pretty good, but were a bit on the small side.

The eggplant dip was also quite good, and they gave us a generous amount.

Thanks for being the only restaurant in Boston that offers food from her home region....
September 2024
Beautiful, quiet and cozy interior.
Food arrived at a more than reasonable speed, and was well seasoned!
As for the drinks, the Kompot was of the highest quality!
Our server (John) provided us with exceptional service and gave great accomodations to enhance our dining.
10/10 highly recommended.

Parking: Free parking lot behind the restaurant.
August 2024
Definitive Moldovan experience for the Boston area.

Obviously, an appreciation of East European customs and food is important when visiting a café with an ethnic focus. My iced latté was thick and flavorful (definitely above the average diluted drink I find, so often, I have ordered elsewhere) but it was the thick, generous, tasty sandwiches that made this visit.

We sat outside at the sheltered, street-side tables. It was highly pleasant.
