Great Russian Food comes at a price, here the prices were about as high as Sputnik itself. (This is after all Helsinki, a place known for high prices) The food was rather good however one pays for the decor and live music. Good place to take business guests, not that terribly noisy, not bad for discussions.

This place is one of the WORST and DEFINITELY OVERPRICED places ANYWHERE in the WORLD. Their only draw is that they serve bear all year round. If you read the other reviews on this site several "Russians" claim that bear is not a staple food in their country. Well, for those that understand Finland's history they should know that Bear...

This place has an over-the-top vibe that can make for a fun experience, but the food itself was overpriced and unremarkable -- definitely a place to go for the experience rather than the cuisine.

Wonderfully presented food- the skewer was a sword! Vegetarian options were delicious also. The service was smooth, friendly and efficient. Fabulously decorated rooms from floor to ceiling. Stained glass windows were stunning. Would definitely recommend to try it for something new. Check menu prices online to make sure it fits your budget.

The food in Saslik is just something amazing! It is so good I have no words to describe and the water is running into my mouth when I’m remembering it. It’s not only that they have specialities like bear meat but it is prepared incredible tasty. The atmosphere is very nice and special. It’s definitely a place to bring your... More

Set in a quiet residential area just outside Helsinki's city center Saslik is a great opportunity to sample some specialties from neighboring Russia. Bear meet is the house specialty, but as we were there for lunch we settled for a mix of starters with salami as the only bear ingredient. We also ordered some blinis with caviar. The food was...

A late night supper was taken here during our weekend in Helsinki. The restaurant was quite full, but we had a table booked. The decorations are from floor to (and including) ceiling full of Russian atmosphere (or at least a funny imitation of it, as I have never been in Russia, I don't know.) After an hour in the restaurant,... More

Everything we ordered was good, no big complains, but it wasn't exceptional, as the price may suggest. We didn't order bear meat, what is the most expensive items in the list, and maybe those could be exceptional, but based on the other items and prices, I doubt it. We order the sampling starter, 26 euros per person! and everything is... More

Typical Russian food, goog atmosphere and nice personnel. Large servings and tasty ingrediances. The balalaika planning and singing is not my favorite; too noisy and conversation must stop during the performance. Price in the upper class. All together a nice experience.

There are couple of excellent russian restaurants in Helsinki, but Saslik must be the best one. The atmosphere is awesome, cozy & fine at the same time, although the only negative points is that the tables are very close to each other, so there's not too much space. There are few bautifull, different looking dining rooms, as well as few... More
