It took me all of 2 seconds looking at the menu to decide I wanted cheese pierogies and cherry and cheese blintzes (cheese and potatoes? da, pozhaluysta!) Now, I don’t have much experience to compare this to, as Ukraine cuisine is not something I regularly dabble in. But–it was delicious, quick, well priced, and both plates were licked clean. I’d totally recommend checking them out for a little tastebud vacation to Eastern Europe…the best borscht and kasha varnishkes in NYC await!
Note, they also host weekly dance lessons in the restaurant’s backroom–how’s that for a fun night out?!
