Our friend recommended this place to us. He said the dishes reminded him of his grandmother's cooking.

Amazing discovery! The lady who served us was very friendly! The food was delicious!

We ordered two plov (rice with beef), two lagman (noodles with a little beef & veggies), two samsa with beef & two samsa with spinach. We also had a potato salad side dish (you stir in the dressing yourself).

Every dish was flavorful. We ended up with leftovers of the lagman noodles. It was even better tasting the next day! The noodles absorbed the juices. I would definitely have this dish again the next time & try some of their other dishes.

Every dish was delicious. Depth of flavor was achieved & so enjoyed. Coming from an Eastern European family, I loved the care & attention the food served is given.
A true gem. You will not be disappointed. .

I really enjoyed discovering this place. The beef plov was delicious-the meat was tender, flavorful, & paired perfectly with the rice. The complimentary tea was also a nice touch.

The owners were very friendly & welcoming. We had a pleasant conversation about the cuisine & its origins. They explained that the menu is mainly inspired by Central Asian traditions, with influences from countries such as Uzbekistan & Tajikistan. It made the experience feel much more personal.

The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes & quality. On my next visit, I'd like to try the samsa, pelmeni, & mant?, as they all looked excellent in the display.

If you enjoy discovering authentic homemade food from this region, Kalabak is definitely worth a visit.

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.

This is the food that makes you weep from happiness! Extremely well balanced flavors, made with love & care. Honestly, when eating there, even alone, you'll get the sensation of dining with your entire family - all this dill, the cream, the kompot. Delicious. The place is run by two amazing women & I truly wish them all the best, because they managed to transport me to my childhood :)

Very beautiful experience! This Russian style family restaurant in Montreal is really something special. We were four person & we shared many different dishes & desserts. Everything was fresh, warm, & so tasty, like homemade food from family kitchen. Portions are good & the flavors are rich & comforting.

Staff was very nice & friendly, always smiling & checking on us, but not pushing. They explained the menu with patience & made us feel welcome from first minute. The place is small & cozy with a family feeling. You sit & relax like at home, enjoying tea & dessert.

I highly recommend this restaurant for family & friends, epecially ones looking for halal food. We will come back for sure!

The plov was absolutely delicious - tender chunks of meat, fluffy rice with lots of aromatic flavors given by onions, carrots garlic & cumin.

The borscht earthy beet flavor, a rich & savory broth, & a balance of sweet & sour notes i recommanded. Everything is made by two wonderful women who give their 100%
