Absolutely amazing food! Everything we tried was full of flavor especially the Plov. The owners were really friendly & even gave us sample cakes, which was such a nice touch. Cozy atmosphere, affordable, & definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend!
C'était la première fois que je goûtais à la cuisine de l'Europe de l'Est & de l'Asie centrale. Tout était fait maison & vraiment délicieux 😋 On a commandé des samsas, des pirojkis au four, une salade de poisson & un jus de cerises. Je dois dire que c'était parfaitement dosé : ni trop salé, ni trop sucré, juste parfait 👌 La serveuse était très accueillante & nous a présenté les plats avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Si vous avez des demandes particulières, comme un plat végétarien, n'hésitez pas à les aviser la veille ; ils peuvent adapter le menu. Je recommande fortement ! ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
La nourriture est super bonne & le service est très chaleureux comme le restaurant est assez petit. Je recommande si vous voulez manger de très bons plats à petit prix !
This place is like home away from home. Food is all made from scratch & you can feel the love it's made with. The owners are super sweet & welcoming. Highly recommend!

Acceuil familial & chaleureux, mets frais & délicieux.

A recommander pour qui est curieux de découvrir des mets d'Europe de l'Est
C'était un vrai plaisir de retrouver les saveurs de mon enfance ! Les plats sont délicieux, préparés avec des produits frais, & le service est très agréable. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous !
Un endroit incroyable, avec une cuisine exquise. C'était délicieux, on nous a régalés de tout coeur. Le personnel est très accueillant. Nous avons été enchantés, nous recommandons de tout coeur !!!
Such a lovely place! Delicious home-style food & excellent service. The two ladies who cook & serve are so kind & attentive. I really enjoyed my visit & will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
Absolutely delicious food, amazing service & so clean! Found this little gem on google maps & were pleasantly surprised at how close it was to us! The two ladies running it are doing a phenomenal job at cooking & serving authentic & flavourful Tajik & Ukraininian food. Every item we tried was bursting with flavour & nourishment & cooked from the heart! We had the spinach & feta samsa, Borscht soup (it was AMAZING!), Manty, Plov & Kazan Kebab & everything was so so yum! The meat just melted in the mouth & everything felt like a warm embrace after a hard day ❤? This place is definitely a keeper & I wish these two awesome ladies nothing but success! Definitely recommend 🌟
p.s. Read great reviews for their honey cake but it had run out when we went so definitely going to try that next time! p.p.s everything is Halal so yay! p.p.p.s it's a small place so consider that you might have to wait or do take-out/delivery.
I have been there twice now & I have tried 90% of their menu. The food is just so good! Fragrant, tasty, authentic & just like home made.
The service is amazing too. I just can't recommend this place enough.
Delicious food, amazing service, & extremely friendly people. Highly recommend their Samsa & Pelmeni, & don't forget to try their refreshing Compot drink. All their food is freshly handmade, even the dessert cakes.
J'ai découvert une culture culinaire nouvelle pour moi & vraiment délicieuse, j'ai pris une soupe'chorba' avec la viande d'agneau que j'ai adoré 🤤 & le personnel est vraiment accueillant, chaleureux & attentionné aux désirs des clients, je le recommande vivement, & même ils m'ont offert un thé. Merci encore.
Every single thing about this restaurant was top notch. The two women were very welcoming & treat everyone with the highest level of respect. Not to mention that their food was spectacular on top of being very unique & authentic. I see myself coming back again often, & i highly recommend this restaurant to all.
