We decided to order small plates and starters because we were super keen to try not everything, but most things. I'm the middle of the page are pelmeni & broth - small beef and pork dumplings in broth with fried lardons and herbs. So tasty and homely, perfect warmer during winter. Top right is the side of Soviet Korean carrot - spicy carrot with corriander which added a nice crunch and feeling of healthiness to the meal 🙈 Middle right is the potato julienne side, which baked potatoes and a creamy smoked cheese sauce with gorgeous mushrooms topped with dill. Super rich and by no means healthy, but a stunning indulgence. Bottom right is Russian Salad or Olivier salad as per the menu - this dish is extremely popular across all of ex-soviet countries and apparently has even made it to Spain (who knew?!). This particular version was also made with ham, however I normally make it without! Bottom left fried Varenyky (dumplings) which were damn tasty too and remind me how I need to stop ordering everything that's deep fried or covered in cream and cheese... Last but by no means least is a baked cheesecake (nothing like what you'd get in the UK) with a stunning homemade jam which might have been some form of plum maybe?! Too good. Thanks for this Elisha 💖 Being Lithuanian, this was a very nostalgic meal, what with most food across the Soviet Union being pretty similar, especially with staples of dumplings and the Russian salad and everything being served with dill and sour cream 😋

Great service, great food . My favourite was the Korean carrot salad, vareniki with Truffle & balsamic savoy cabbage, pelmeni and broth, vareniki with cherries and the cheesecake with home made jam. For non Eastern European the cheesecake is not what you would expect from an American cheesecake but if you are open to try something completely different , it is absolutely delicious. certainly will come back
