Homemade, delicious food!!!
Delicious food and charming employees, especially Luba. My first visit here was in 1981, and I saved the old menu all these years. The annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner is our family's beloved tradition. Note: This menu is from 1981 and the prices have risen ever so slightly!

Ukrainian East Village Restaurant is a cozy spot offering traditional Ukrainian dishes with a comforting atmosphere. The stuffed cabbage with creamy mushroom gravy is highly praised, and the minced cutlet is soft and flavorful. The restaurant features a variety of dumplings and pierogis, along with fresh and consistent food. The ambiance has a charming, Eastern-Europe feel, similar to dining in a finished basement in old Greenpoint, which many find welcoming. Regular customers appreciate the friendly staff, especially Luba, and the restaurant's warm, clean environment makes it suitable for friends or family gatherings. Although service can be slow during busy times, the overall experience is highly recommended. The beef stroganoff on kasha is especially popular, reminiscent of authentic Ukrainian home cooking. However, some dishes like the meat cutlets and potato pancakes may not fully meet expectations for traditional Ukrainian flavors, often tasting more like American versions. The borscht, for example, is vegan with beans, differing from the classic meat-based soup. Despite these differences, the restaurant remains a beloved local spot with a nostalgic and inviting vibe.
