I love the atmosphere here, and a food - it's simple, homey and not expencive. Been here dozen of times, never was disappointed. Recommend to bring your visiting friends here, even if its not an authentic Ukrainian but worth to visit definitely! They have menu in English (the translation is not perfect though) and waiters speak pretty good English as... More

We were looking for a restaurant when we saw the review and decided to give it abtry. When we reached, we were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not have. They checked if there was any space and after about 2 minutes, they guided us to our table. We were served after about 3 minutes, where the... More

Went here with colleagues working at the British Embassy - and they hadn't been before. Enjoyable meal, good, efficient and friendly service - good typical food and as 'touristy' as you want to make it. Would have no hesitation in going again and would happily recommend it. We paid $35 for three of us, ate lightly but well. More

I had one night in Kiev and asked to be taken to a 'typically Ukrainian restaurant'. Wow, was I a happy bunny at the end of the night. We turned up at 8.30pm with no booking, and after some deliberation, the hostess smiled and beckoned us in. Walking through the restaurant, we were greeted by friendly smiles and raucous laughter....

Excelent food, great service and amazind decor based on the life of the former URSS. Lots of artifcats from the sovietic era, a cozy decor that resambles a home behing the iron courtain. Try the strogonoff with potatoes, Chiecken Kiev and the fried toasts with hering. More

Menu is an interesting collection of classic and Soviet-era dishes from Ukraine and USSR, done in good style and quality. Restaurant is close to both Hyatt and Intercontinental, has a cosy outdoor area in summer or interior decorated in Soviet-era memorabilia. Staff is polite and helpful, food is good and not too pricey. Perhaps this is not a romantic-dinner type... More

If you missed Kiev in 1960's but want to go back - you'll find what it was 50 years ago. Wonderful food experience of Soviet Era. More

My wife and I are in Ukraine for approximately 6 weeks to complete an adoption project. It’s nice to do your groceries and cook in your apartment, but we were hoping to try out some authentic Ukrainian food during our stay. Going through Trip Advisor, we found this place and decided to check it out during the day to locate... More

This is how one remembers Soviet propaganda films; interior is nice - the screens omnipresent in Kiev restaurants are actually not disruptive here - they play old films in over-saturated colours complimenting the traditional folklore furnishings. Live three piece band of apt musicians provides the entertainment and that's even before you get to a traditional fare of russian starters of... More
