I really enjoyed my takeout from Rus Uz last week. I got the Samsa, Vareniki and the chocolate cake. The flavors were fantastic and super hearty--I definitely couldn't finish the Vareniki in one meal which to me made it absolutely worth the price. I will note that I think the cake was a bit overpriced--if I go back I'll probably stick to the savories--but it was still super well executed and indulgent. If you like sour cream and fresh dill you will be in heaven here.

We had an amazing experience at Rus Uz! The service is impeccable! The staff are so friendly and were very attentive. We had beer, appetizers, a main course, and dessert and all were fantastic! I cannot recommend this place more! The perfect spot to eat before heading to the movies next door.

The lamb chops were out of this world! Baaaa! I could see them now, grazing on grass before they get murdered (if you believe lambs have life in em). Their food is good, it’s exceptional. The service is good too although they treat you a little weird, you know typical Alexandria s***. They have a great beer selection (although mediocre it’s still good, like all beer). The people that go there, wow, they must have a lot of money because I barely see them eating anything.
