Ivan Gudov

Chebureki, pierogie , olivie, kotlety, grown-up pink lemonade and baltika beer . This is one of the best Russian restaurants for sure. All the food we got was top notch. House made honey cake is a must.

Bryan Fortney

A great place for unique style of food. The staff rocks too. They have a great variety on the menu and they know how to treat people professionaly & nicely. You'll have a great experience.

A very rustic place. The food is very rich in flavor. A great place for dumpling cravers. They make giant dumpling ????

Jodie Cole

An interesting cuisine to be sure. What stands out most is the wonderful grilled meat and their superb hospitality . Great place for groups that like vodka !

I just got back from Russia and I have to say not only do l love the culture I love the food. This is the only restaurant in San Diego that I have found to be authentic Russian food . Great atmosphere.

Emily Dang

The drop dead ginger ale comes in spicy and extra spicy . We tried the spicy and it was good-tasted like a very gingery Canada Dry, but not as sweet. Make reservations or you might not get a table.

Ece

Great side dish options and ambience. Servers are very kind and friendly . They also offer some turkish coffee :)

Pedram Safari

Start with a Zakuski sampler, and continue with beef stroganoff , or chicken Tabaka, or Chakapuli! Goes great with pomegranate juice !

El Doosty

Nice welcoming eclectic atmosphere. Food is very well described by the knowledgable staff and very well prepared.

I never knew Russia had soul food . I am hooked! Great veggie dishes , plus quirky atmosphere = one of our new favorite places.

Emily Dang

The Pelmeni , Chakhokhbili & Shashlik (chicken ) were all flavorful and delicious. The cheerwine was good: tasted like carbonated, subtle, cherry Dr. Pepper .

Maureen Liwanag

Lots of vegetarian options and one vegan soup (aka Borscht ).

Diane Fortakoff

This place is not easy to find (even though it's right on the corner), but well worth the search. We got both of the lamb dishes and they were terrific! CASH ONLY !!

Serge Nevsky

Everything is good here, but I highly recommend the vegetable salad platter appetizer . Great to share

They now take credit, but not American Express. Try the salad sampler , and ask about Georgian wine . Shashlyk is excellent.

Mat Schulze
