Authentic in every way imaginable. Stuffed cabbage and beef stroganoff were amazing and we ordered the potatoes with mushrooms for our appetizer…oh my God! We loved the service, direct from the owner it seemed, no funny business.
We sat right by the bar, where big mugs of Russian beer, vodka bottles and samovars came and went to tables of couples having a wonderful time. The back of the restaurant was a dance floor with Russian pop music and a DJ, lots of people dancing. Great stuff.

Aggressively cold, thinly veiled rage type customer service. I sat 5 feet from a man behind a desk watching media on the computer, the general theme of which was loud domestic disputes, mistrust, and anguish. Dusty, pseudo fancy, dollar store holiday decor left up year round, a cornucopia of mismatched interior design styles. The leather wall runners with large rhinestones give sweet 16 energy and the TJ Max French bathroom elicits suburban housewife despair. The Jimi Hendricks and chimpanzee with headphones on posters set the mood for my borscht. I dined here cause it was right off the subway & I hadn’t packed a beach lunch. But I was told just now they changed their Google search to say Ukrainian restaurant when it is in fact a Russian establishment. That is deceptive and honestly adds clarity to what I experienced here. Even so, might be back for dinner
The staff is very friendly, and the food is always delicious, especially the lamb pelmeni (dumplings) and apple strudel with ice cream. They have live music closer to evening. It is a good place to stop by to have dinner, or to have a birthday celebration in.
The food was delicious (we loved the pelmeni and kompot!), but even more so than that, we LOVED the service and atmosphere! My husband (who, unlike me and my sister, doesn’t speak Russian) felt very included and cared for by the staff. I can’t wait to come back on my next trip to Brighton Beach!!!
We decided to eat here after leaving the beach. The kids had the shnitzel with fries and I had the chicken noodle soup (clear soup with noodles) and my husband had the beef stew (contained beef and potatoes in a small bowl). I would give the food a 6/10. The reason why im giving 2 stars is because I ordered the creme brule when we first sat down to offer enough time for them to make it. Once I finished the soup they asked if I was ready for the creme brule and I said yes. The creme brule didn’t come for an hour so we decided to ask for the check and head home. It was listed on the receipt so I told them it never came out. They said they would bring it right out and I said it’s okay we are leaving now because the kids were tired. They brought it out 10 minutes later anyway and told us to wait. We had to take it to go because at this point we had been there for over an hour and a half. Pic below of the $11 creme brule they gave us. I’m sad we had to pay for that. Other than that, all was good!
It's not just good Russian food, it is an experience. Generous portions, everything was very fresh and yummy. Kharcho was my favorite from my order but everything else was excellent, too. Great spot to check out!
It was our first time here and we liked it!! Live russian music (you don’t have to pay additionally for it) it just taking you back to 90-s, service is very good, food is tasty. The only thing is that meat in pirozhki and vareniki was processed too finely, not chopped which my husband didn’t like and I didn’t find okroshka and manty in menu.
If going on the weekend, make a reservation!!!
Can't go wrong with zharkoye and an apple strudel.
No draft beer, but Baltika will do. Fair prices for what it is, live music, avoid table in the hallway.
Cesar salad is nothing special. Descent service. Escargot is fun, but pretty oily.
