Cossachok Restaurant

We atteneded Cafe Cossachok 🇷🇺 last Saturday and experience was fabulous from start to finish. We emailed in the morning for a resrvation and was quickly emailed back and confirmed our table. On arrival staff were very polite and welcoming. The decor is pretty cool too and the restaurant area is large and spacious. We were taken to our table and staff immediately came to see us giving us drink/food menus etc and took drink orders. This place serves authentic Russian/Lituianian/ukranian dishes aswell as authentic beers/largers/spirits and not to mention homemade vodka in a wide variety of flavours. We ordered starters of Solyanka & Cossachok Nibbles both were served quickly and tasted unreal 👌 as a garlic 🧄 fan the Cossachok nibbles were top notch, the solyanka was also delicious. For our mains we ordered 3 as we couldnt decide 🤣 there are so many options on the menu we wanted to try, we ending up opting for lamb/chicken shashlik and fresh slamon with potato pancakes. All of the food was cooked/tasted beautifully. Service was fantastic with waiters/waitresses always checking up if we needed more drinks etc. We also ordered a rack of 6 of the homemade vodkas which are fantastic value at 6 for £10. Highly recommend 😉 The meals and drinks are very reasonably priced and the food is very tasty with large portion sizes. Cant fault the service either they were very efficifent, helpful, polite and couldnt do enough for you. We will definitely be returning as so much we have yet to try on the menu! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nestled amongst the bars in Merchant city, this was a nice authentic find. I tried some of the traditional Russian and Siberian dishes. Really filling, really satisfying. I tried several dishes. My best was the potato pancakes. The multi-layered Kutuzov cake was not fresh but was still delicious and very appealing! Great place to visit, especially on a cold night since the food is warming and heavy.

Our first time here and definitely not the last! Loved every bit of it! Food was great (good selection and great, bold flavours) , service was great (good recommendations, very friendly, nice chat), portions were very generous, value for money good and overall experience very very plesant! We went for 2 soups (borsch and soup of the day which was smoked meat with olives) and they were a small meal of their own. Very hearty, warming and great flavours. Then we went for fried potato pancake with pork and the traditional pelemeni (filled pasta dish). Both were very generously portioned and very very tasty! We filled the tiny belly space we had left with a shared honey cake, which was delicious, soft and plush mouthfeel with distinct honey and cream flavour. I can easily see this place becoming a favourite, looking forward to visiting again!

Had an excellent lunch here, with a superb beer, new to us. The pancakes were delicious, the goulash & cabbage rolls very good, the beer first class. Not exactly in the same league was the calamari. I feel very confident that this was mass produced frozen stuff like Birds-eye or Findus (remember them), & came with a not at all home made bread crumb finish rather than proper batter, which any European restaurant would be frankly ashamed to serve. That said they were pleasant enough, & as a starter did not detract from the whole experience. I'd definitely go back several times now I've found the place
