One word. Exquisite. Everything was so delicously out of this world. The cashier is superrrr nice. I've never tried this cuisine before & if you haven't either … WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! The place is super nice & clean. Everything is so fresh & clean. I bought 3 samsa for like 13$. One with feta & spinach, another with ground beef & the third one with ricotta but it is sweet. It's so crunchy. I'll be coming back for sure.
Amazing Ukrainian restaurant! The food was authentic, fresh, & full of flavor. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the service was excellent. One of the best Ukrainian dining experiences I've had. Highly recommended!
Thank you.
The plov rice here was absolutely incredible, easily one of the best rice dishes I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, rich, comforting, & unforgettable.
The'Hareng sous manteau' salad was also excellent. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & clearly made with care.
What made the experience even better was how welcoming & kind the staff were. You can really feel the warmth & passion behind this place.
On top of that, the prices are very affordable for the quality you get.
This place deserves much more attention. Highly recommended.

I recently visited a Russian cuisine restaurant & was absolutely impressed.
The food was outstanding. Every dish was rich in flavor & clearly made with care. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, & the presentation was beautiful.
I'd also like to highlight the service - attentive, friendly, & never intrusive. You feel genuinely welcomed as a guest.
The food was incredibly delicious - everything tasted like it was made with care & from the heart. It honestly felt like being at home, enjoying a warm, homemade meal.
Was an absolute pleasure! Brought my son, were greeted warmly by the two lovely ladies who run the resto (& treat you like family in the best sense possible). If like us you appreciate & seek out an authentic setting & meals lovingly prepared, fresh, delicious, a cultural immersion, Kalabok is a must-visit. We were so full we had to bring home dessert, & also a cabbage pastry, warmed up in the oven that was so delicious we regretted not buying more. Thank you for a truly memorable evening!
What a hidden gem! This place serves amazing homestyle slavic foods that taste the love from a grandma. Everything was super fresh & yummy! The small place has a takeout counter & 3 small tables. The place is run by 2 lovely ladies. Great hospitality!
The borscht soup definitely warms the soul on cold winter days. It has a good depth & fresh taste. The soup is packed with veggies with little bit of meat & beans. It was delicious! & the bread that comes with it was so good! A small garlic bread with a hint of sweetness. It has a sweet caramelized crust. I could eat that all day! The owner explained to me that they are baked freshly every morning in a limited amount to be served with the soup.
The other highlight was the honey cake. Moist, dense but it doesn't feel heavy at all. Little tangy with a beautiful taste of caramelized honey. They use local honey to make their cake. Heaven!
Can't wait to go back & to try more from their menu!
If you are looking for fresh food, you are at the right place . Portions are very generous & the ingredients are all natural. I will definitely be comming back with my friends!
This place is a gem, whether you're eating in or taking out! The food is not only incredibly tasty but also freshly prepared on-site with high-quality ingredients. What truly sets them apart is extremely comforting, almost homemade meals that throws you into'food nostalgia', I especially loved the Medovik cake. Not to mention, the owners (who are also the cooks) are amazing, making the whole experience a pleasure.
Super authentic & delicious. I had the borscht soup, it was decadent, filled with fresh vegetables fresh savory & sweet well balanced delicious soup. The pelmeni was perfectly crafted, filling was perfectly spiced & seasoned, the outer dumpling was thin thin chewy & soft at the same time.
