I never write reviews and especially on food that I am not native to. I love borscht! I have had borscht a thousand different ways since i was 8 or 9 and this was absolutely one of the worst I ever had! How do you make borscht with out meat and have the nerve to charge 20 for a half pint 🤔 and on top of that its like an American trying to be russian made the soup because u can clearly taste its tomato soup that just had veggies put in! Even if you dont put meat in it it should taste like it had some! No beef broth no beef no real taste of borscht. The beef stragnoff was good cold but good I am not the only person who had borscht and they are not happy I doubt we will ordering from here again ! Mind you I had been told to stop in but I most likely never will so sad cause I had been looking for a place to get Russian food from :(

Deceptive charges on the bill
I rarely write reviews, but this experience deserves attention. This cafe in Brooklyn operates with the same scam tactics that are becoming way too common lately.
When we received the check, a service charge was already added. On top of that, they added tax ON the service charge, which is not right and not even supposed to happen. And of course, after all of this, they still suggest leaving an additional tip - which we did before noticing the issue.
When I called the restaurant for clarification, the administrator immediately started with the typical line: “Was there something wrong with the service?” Our concern had nothing to do with the service - we simply wanted to understand why there were extra unexplained dollars on the bill.
The only explanation we received was that “half of the service charge is a tip and it goes to the staff.” When I asked where the other half goes, nobody could give a clear answer.
This is the same scheme used by places like Anatolian Gyro.
Please, STOP scamming people
P.S. Borsch soup goes without meat. It is a joke

The chef makes traditional dishes taste alive and current. It's rare to find such capable workers these days. The space here has endearing quality. The servings exceed typical expectations. Our next visit to town will bring us back here.

The meals show attention to detail, the staff shows personal care, and prices show customer appreciation. The food excels completely at reasonable prices. The standouts are evident but quality is consistent. Their employees deliver flawless attention alongside remarkable dishes. My future visits to this neighborhood include this place.

You'll appreciate the effort put into appearances. The kitchen doesn't use frozen products. Stolovaya worked nicely for our social group. The staff balanced speed, efficiency, warmth and skill. This establishment creates a great atmosphere.

I came here once with some friends. Let me just say this: The experience was truly something to write home about. It was my first time in a Russian restaurant and I will most certainly come back to this one. The service and the food are great!

Everything is great, besides the table and chair cleaning method, they are using Windex ( window cleaner ) to clean the tables, when people are still eating with kids around. It’s not acceptable at any food business. Please change the table cleaning method asap, and I will take down 1 star.
Everything was delicious, the service was great, and the best dish was the potatoes with mushrooms.

Been coming for many years for good food. Called today to inquire about having dinner with family after the funeral service (поминки). The lady who answered was very insensitive to the type of occasion , kept talking about how much money we need to spend minimum (money wasn't an object only availability so I don't know why that was mentioned numerous times ), said I have to come in to order food ahead (I could have ordered ahead and paid in advance over the phone or spoken to in a different manner to come in and I would have ) and then she said we have a large crowd that afternoon coming and it will be busy (again not sure why). It felt so terrible talking to her, that in this difficult time all I wanted was to speak to someone who would help me make reservation and be nice. Her tone , her attitude made me regret calling. For that reason I won't come back even for the better occasions. You have to serve kindness , not just food.

Food here is exceptionally tasty! I was lucky to stop by right at noon when they opened, so I didn’t have to wait—because it does get packed quickly (and for good reason). The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, but the highlight is definitely the food. Every dish feels homely, comforting, and absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough!
