I dont understand how every time I got here i get $20 of food but get a bill for $40
A friend of mine let me inspect the premises, it was completely unsanitary, I heard people in the kitchen insulting visitors, my friend knows Russian and he translated for me, there were a lot of cockroaches, some cat was walking around the kitchen, in general it was just disgusting

happy to visit this place because it reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. most of the food is fantastic and fresh, yet it comes super fast. waiter was nice and attentive. drinks were good. patio is nicely set up although loud from the train. bathroom is ok. busy spot but still room on the weekend. love that the patio is dog friendly.
everything was going perfect until we left - my dog has an eye disease (pannus) so she has to wear sunglasses. the chef was smoking outside and started harassing us when he noticed my dog saying “we are blinding her and hurting the dog”. found this really annoying because he would not leave us alone. and again, my dog wears the sunglasses because she literally has an eye disease so i’m prolonging her vision before she goes blind lol

This place had been here for ages and that says it all for the kind of food it serves.

Attentive service and great food!
A nice typical Russian/Ukrainian place, cool atmosphere and good food. Don’t take the shush lol, it is mediocre. Home made pelmeni and vareniki are among the best I tried. If you take wine better take by bottle 😂, much cheaper. They played good old rock video from the 90s. I recommend a visit.

Nice cafe. I came with a group of friends awhile back and we all enjoyed our meal so when I passed by today I got a little snack of dumplings and coffee. Both tastes fresh and delicious.
It’s a simple place with nice authentic food.
Best pelmeni in the city

The food and atmosphere were nice, but the American pop music really ruined the vibe. Traditional Slavic music would’ve matched the theme much better and created a more authentic experience

Perfect Brighton Beach experience. Nasty, irresponsible employees and mediocre food. It used to be a nice place a long time ago. Nothing lasts forever

Every bite here was better than the last one. It's a cozy little spot with staff who are reasonably pleasant. The staff create a warm atmosphere. These meals display evident excellence. You should schedule a visit to this place now.
