Ukrainian East Village Restaurant

Came here with a massive group when Veselka was packed. The pierogi were amazing and the beer really hit the spot. A nice hidden gem that doesn't look like it's there from the outside.

Borscht very sweet, combo platter w meat is good. Has some sort of stuffed cabbage that's delicious, and the dumplings are also delicious. Nice calm interior, like grandmas house

The Ukrainian sampler platter is a full meal of stuffed cabbage , kielbasa and pierogies(vareniki). The restaurant is comfortable but the restrooms are downstairs.

I was happy to see so many Ukrainians here! Food was disappointing. French fries , Cesar salad , shrimps . Seriously? It’s time to open real Ukrainian restaurants that will feel and taste like home.????????

Varenyky . Get them boiled and stuffed like Christmas geese with seasoned potato or with mix of sauerkraut and mushroom .

halusky: a plate of the dumplings topped with caramelized sauerkraut and bacon  load up on the restaurant 's quality sour cream & spread it liberally over your plate of dumplings . Don't shy on the salt

Try the combo platter if you're not sure what to get. The menu is extensive and good value for money .

I remember coming here for the stuffed cabbage . One with mushroom and the other with meat and was really great! So sad it's not on the menu anymore.

Cheese blintzes taste like the East Village of bygone days. Each is filled with lightly sweetened farmer cheese & fried in butter until the edges are just crisp enough while the middle remains tender. Read more

Authentic spot reminiscent of grandma's house. Get the chefs special with cheese + potato pierogi and try the beef stroganoff !

Great cheap grub in a cosy dining room, like you're eating at grandma's house. The pierogis are good, so is the goulash and the breaded cutlet is delicious.

lovely staff . The Halusky and the Letcho are amazing and If you have room for desert try the Blintezes.

chicken kiev served with mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetables

sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies , fried for 75 cents extra

Velselka is boring compared to UEVR. The veggie shnitzel is delicious and the pierogies are also yummy. Get half and half either steamed of fried.

Come in at 7 for Tango lesson (bring student ID for discount ). Then get a table at the restaurant and order the Veal Goulash or Vareniki w/sauerkraut and mushrooms . The best ukrainian food in nyc!

More authentic and more personality than Veselka . Also, they have tango lessons and practicas throughout the week. Amazing.

Eastern European community center and restaurant better for the warm, comfy vibe than the food.

"The sauerkraut pierogis came, with a little puddle of fried onions , a dense reduction, in their midst, and a paper cup of sour cream . Eyza, a connoisseur of pierogis , was impressed." --James Traub Read more

Soups here are merely delicious, especially borscht !

Food is ok, but not amazing. The pierogi are solid (esp the ones filled with meat or potatoes ). Wasn't a huge fan of the blintzes or the hash browns . Service was efficient, but the decor is lacking.

The Hungarian goulash with potato pancakes is especially belly-warming comfort food .

Authentic . Get stroganoff here. Very nice place. I comeback.

Not sure how often tango night happens here, but find out and GO! A uniquely beautiful scene. All ages dancing together cheek to cheek in the EV -- loved it!

German Dumplings - Grubstreet's #9 NYC dumpling

It's old-school, more like a cafe or stolovaya from eastern europe 90s, but food is quite decent for a price

Remember to get your pierogis fried not boiled!

Homey cosy place . Looks like you've arrived in Ukraine. Pretty cool.

Great food and a cozy atmosphere . The walk through the buildings hall is a bit surreal.

The pierogi here is great.

Great food and service

Not impressed. If you want to try authentic Ukrainian food go to Brooklyn.

This is where I go for blintzes and pierogies .

Owners of sly fox. Really delicious food.

Interesting interior and decent food

Don't let the simple menu fool you. The food here is awesome.

Be prepared to be sleepy after the beef stroganoff . it is incredible.

Very tasty pierogis

Cheese Blintzes : $8.95

The hot borsht is amazing but bathrooms are not that good

Varenyky - Grubstreet's #48 NYC dumpling

Ukranian borscht ... $3.50 for a bowl? Can't beat that! Delicious food, cozy atmosphere .

Try the Ham & Cheese Omelette -

Better than Veselka and more homey . Come here instead but don't tell your friends.

platter $14

The spinach pirogies are truly sublime here.

Order the compote drink in this quiet and hidden place .

Good food, slow service

Tourist trap with bland food, unattentive service, and missing drink prices on the menu.

100x better than the famous Veselka 's next door ... And no wait!
