I wanted to try some of the food I miss from my home country.
I ordered Varenyky with potatoes and mushrooms.
Asked how many pieces were in a portion and was told 18.
Which kind of surprised me because that would be a gigantic portion.
Only then I understood that Varenyky were Russian style, thin and with little filling unlike the Ukrainian style, puffy and with lots of filling.
All in all, they were good.
Nothing special.
I enjoyed Kompot though, as it was just slightly sweetened and tasted refreshing. The service was a bit slow, and female restroom didn’t work, so there was only male restroom and it was quite dirty. One thing that was the most disappointing was that they accept only cash.
Not all people carry cash nowadays! It all turned in such a mess asking me to go and withdraw money from ATM in the next door store or use Zelle.
What?! If you guys care about your customers, please do a little more to avoid so much inconvenience.
The little sign on the door is super hard to notice.
At least you could tell your customers before they make an order that you accept only cash so that they know about it.
Or print a QR code and give it along with the bill so that they could easily scan and transfer money.
In any case, there is a way to make it easier and it should not be a customer’s problem. The bill also includes 10% service fee.

An excellent stop for great Russian food in Brighton Beach! Authentic and tasty dishes, reasonable prices, and quick service.

One of the best affordable and healthy Russian places I’ve been to.
We loved their borcht which has chicken, their homemade potato varenki, and their lamb kebab! We got Greek salad but will try the cabbage one next time.
We got fruity compote to wash it down.
Best with groups so you can taste many items.
