Very home cooked taste. Comfort food all the way. Everything we ordered was wonderful. My favorite was the borscht. I love beets so it was amazing to me. The stroganoff was cooked perfectly and there was plenty of beef in the sauce. The crab salad was tasty. I think I’ll save it for crackers and a sandwich. The portions are definitely sizable. I’d love to be able to dine in next time. Definitely worth a visit! I can’t wait to try other dishes from here.

Beef Stroganoff
Fantastic and charming spot for great Slavic and Eastern European cuisine. My mom is of Slavic descent and is a fantastic cook, so I am quite picky when it comes to things like Borscht or Pelmeni! Nonetheless, everything we tried was some of the best of this kind of cuisine I’ve ever had in any restaurant!
The three of us ordered several dishes and shared, such as the Borscht, Pelmeni, Tefteli, and Hinkali. The Borscht is Ukrainian style like my Mom makes, with a very flavorful broth. The Tefteli was a huge serving with some of the best meatballs any of us have had! We loved both of the dumpling entrees, and was our first time trying Georgian Hinkali. They reminded me a lot of tasty Chinese soup dumplings. Very friendly owner as well, and lovely and quaint interior!

Absolutely friendly and professional stuff, clean tabes and restroom.

Honey Cake
Wowzers, what a slice of heaven! Unassuming from the outside but once in; you get teleported to another world! The borscht and solynka left us craving more and the potato dumplings were perfectly dense and doughy! The meat roll, my personal favorite, was full of exotic flavors, and the Stroganoff was superb with the buckwheat! 10/10 worth the drive from Denver!! I’ll be back.

Beef Stroganov
We were hungry so we got a cup of borscht each (generous portion), plov, beef stroganoff and hinkali to share, with kvass to drink which was good. The server lady was very polite and the food came out pretty fast.
The borscht was decent, not as hearty as I'd like, and more on the watery side, but I still enjoyed it with sour cream and a lot pepper.
The hinkali were probably the best since they were well-spiced and juicy and just very tasty. Meat had good texture.
Beef stroganoff came a bit colder than I'd like, just warm. The sauce was pretty great and smooth though. Generous amount of meat on this one.
The plov was good but I also wish it were a bit more насыщенный. Not enough meat, not enough raisins, not enough spice, but the rice was tender so that was nice.
Athmosphere was great and definitely gave me the nostalgia I was looking for, with "Ну, Погоди" playing on the TV as well.
Overall it was almost as good as my first time a couple years ago, but I feel like the food was lacking a bit of passion. Still the best Russian Restaurant in Denver that I know!

It's an hour from me just to get to this little gem but worth it!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is fresh and absolutely filling. Great cozy little spot to have some home cooked meals or to have an amazing new experience. DONT sleep on the desserts... Macaroons the size of your hand, honey cake with more layers then you can count!!!
Hands down one of my favorite places, go give them a try you definitely won't be disappointed.

Home Made Chiken Cutlet
Worth a 30 minute drive for this unique and affordable tour of Eastern European and Russian cuisine. The cabbage roll, borscht, and dumpling selection were all 10/10

Plov
It has a classic cafe hole-in-the-wall feel. Immaculately clean, soft music, but the food is the real star. The borscht is a must try, our whole table loved it (including a picky grandmother who was absolutely floored that beets could be in soup). The pelmeni (meat dumplings) came out piping hot. While they look humble, the flavor is anything but. We also tried the chicken cutlet, which was melt in your mouth delicious. I have never had ground chicken like that and it was so good. Highly recommend for either lunch or dinner.
