ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! You can see and feel the authenticity the moment you walk! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive!

Corner of Ukraine - Beef stroganoff - Ukrainian Near Me - Nyack, New York

I hadn't had Ukrainian food in forever and the menu had so many dishes I had never tried before! We ordered: - herring appetizer: chilled raw/cured(?) herring, crispy hot fingerling potatos, a herring spread, black bread. The fish was so fresh and umami, and it was so pleasing to have a bite of cold fish and hot potato at the same time - kefir soup: I forgot the name but this turned out to be an interesting *cold* soup with a cultured kefir yogurt base with potato and cucumber. While I was originally hoping for a hot soup this ended up being so flavorful and hearty I loved it! - bacon potato dumplings with sour cream. No notes, how could you do this wrong? They also had the coolest leather utensil holders I've ever seen! Logistics: - indoor seating and I think a few outdoor seats - limited street parking nearby but there are some lots a few blocks over read more

I haven't had a lot of Ukranian food in my life, so when we happened to be in town, we decided to order a few items to go. The inside of the restaurant is so cute. It's got these warm and cozy vibes. I originally wanted the cabbage rolls but they ran out (it was a Sunday at around 2 PM) so I ordered the Ukranian Varenyky (dumplings with farmer cheese, potato, and dill), and some kind of a beef stew. The dumplings were very good. All the ingredients tasted fresh. The beef in the stew was super dry and chewy. Maybe I didn't order the right entrée but the waitress did recommend this dish after I learned the cabbage rolls were out. Even so, I'd still come back to try some other dishes if I'm ever in this neighborhood again. read more

Corner of Ukraine - Beer - Ukrainian Near Me - Nyack, New York

Delicious! We happened upon this restaurant while shopping in Nyack on a Saturday. We easily got a table and were attended quickly by the friendly wait staff. The menu is very traditional Ukrainian and we ordered a few plates to share among the group, including a few different types of dumplings, cabbage rolls, and potato pancakes. Each entrée came with a generous portion of fresh sour cream as a condiment. We each tried a different Ukrainian beer to complement our meal, which were served cold and with a matching glass. The atmosphere is very bright and feels like you're in someone's home, and the wait staff make you feel like you are a cherished guest. We can't wait to return! read more

I've dined at Corner of Ukraine twice in about a year. I am going to return again. We live 50 minutes away. That's how good this restaurant is. You can tell from the how well the generous portions are prepared and presented that a lot of love and pride goes into everything this establishment does. That love is echoed by the attentive service. And while the interior is fairly simple, you will find it shows the love for Ukraine that is all around you. If you haven't tried Ukrainian fare, and this is the only place I have, there is something for every American palate. And that something you decide on for your meal will make you want to return again as we did. No pictures as the ones already posted are the real deal. As the sign out front says Slava Ukraini! read more

Run - don't walk - to the Corner of Ukraine! I've heard so many good things about this restaurant from foodie friends already so was excited to finally go, and was pleased that it's as incredible as everyone says. We had: - Classic BORSCHT, a nostalgic favorite, and this is done very well - CHICKEN LIVER MOUSSE - yum, very shareable, and the beet purée is amazing! - CHICKEN KYIV - also excellent, with great mashed potatoes - DUCK BREAST - so tender, and love the brown butter mash! - HUNGRY DAD (smoked sausage stewed with sauerkraut cabbage) - the flavor is excellent, mellow, not overly pickled or harsh as many sauerkraut dishes can be. I was impressed that every dish has a distinct flavor. All were delicious, consummately prepared, and elegantly presented. A favorite meal in recent memory. The food is generously portioned and well priced. The entrees came out one after another instead of all together but we didn't mind as we were tasting everything family style. The kitchen even personally brought out some of our dishes - compliments to the chef! What do I recommend? EVERYTHING! The service was great, despite it being an unusually busy weekday night. There's a steady stream of customers and you can see why! The restaurant is cutely adorned with traditional ethnic decorations on the wall. The tables are spaciously laid out, including some long tables for groups. Oh, and no credit card fee like so many restaurants in NY/NJ these days. A pet peeve of mine so an extra hurrah! read more

After a big afternoon of hiking, we hit Nyack in search of a fun meal, and ended up experiencing a truly wonderful Ukrainian dinner at Corner of Ukraine, beginning with a plate of forshmak (herring, green apple, eggs, homemade aioli, red onion) and a nice Ukrainian doppelbock. Next, a refreshing bowl of okroshka (cucumber, potato, radish, scallion, eggs, parsley, dill, mustard and airan), varenyky with sauerkraut and mushrooms, and holubcy (cabbage leaves stuffed with ground pork, carrot, onion and rice baked in tomato sauce and served with wild mushroom sauce). Everything was fresh and delicious. Slava Ukraini!!! read more

Cute place in Nyack. I like that's it's different - they fully embraced the Ukrainian culture on the food options, language, decorations and dress. It's not something that you see every day so that was nice to experience. There was also seating outside that looked pleasant. I liked the healthy garden salad. My dad ordered soup and potatoes with mushrooms that were also good. I got duck. The sides of the duck were great - very interesting combination of textures and flavors. The duck itself was practically raw. I personally didn't like that at all and couldn't eat it. I asked them to cook it more and they did - boiled, I think, which was better but still not how I would normally eat it. My mom ordered the salmon and had a similar experience. The sides were great but protein was cooked in an unusual way that didn't work for her. When I expressed it to them, they actually tried their best to change the cooking which I appreciated Overall, the place is nice and service was good. I probably won't go there again because the food was a bit too different for my taste (some of it) and the other things were what I would already cook at home. I do find the place and concept unique and refreshing for the area just not in a way that works for me. read more

Pretty good! Not oh my gosh get me back here good, but a really solid borscht, homemade garlic bread, and cheese and potato varenyky. The portions are generous and the outdoor seating is adorable! With very comfy egg-shaped cushioned chairs. The inside is very sweetly themed, borderline kitschy. I probably wouldn't come back because there's so many great spots in Nyack, but if you're craving this food, get it and you'll enjoy! read more

Located on the busy main Street of Nyack New York... And yet we haven't been to this place until today! We randomly came across it on Yelp and obviously saw awesome reviews, so we had to check it out ourselves. I'm going to be honest here, we have never had Ukrainian food before so we really didn't know what to expect. It's certainly a modest establishment with beautiful Ukrainian art and decor-- even hand-painted art on the walls! The place got busier within an hour. Our waitress was sweet and helpful with recommendations. We ordered a large spread as usual and we have no regrets! First we started with the horod cucumber salad with olive oil which was amazingly fresh and simple... It had a Mediterranean feel with the salt and olive oil but the pickled red onions, dill, and the freshly sliced radishes brought it up a few notches. As you can see, we completely devoured it. The next starter was the mushroom soup. You must get this!!! It's light and smooth but not overly creamy, with just the right amount of mushroom. I've never had anything like this before and I'm craving more of it as I'm typing this. The fried potato pierogies are generously filled with potato and topped with green onions, paired with a light sour cream dip. It's fried, yes, but it's so light that you don't feel like you're having a cheat day. Next was the kielbasa-- at first we didn't want to order it because the pictures showed how big it is. But in the end, we ended up eating 3/4 of it because that's how good it was-- incredibly juicy, spiced just right, and a thin skin with a light crisp. We couldn't decide which dip was the best. I actually found that the beet dip was the best because of that salty/ sweet combo. But my sister loved the homemade horseradish dip which is strong enough to clear anyone's sinuses! The kyiv cutlet was incredibly moist with a light breadcrumb crust. We liked it a lot but we loved it even more because of the sauces it came with... I'm not sure what they're called but it's the beautiful magenta and orange colors on the plate that really brought out the flavors in the chicken. Last, but not least, the dessert... We were extremely full by the end of the meal but we really wanted to try a new dessert. It was delicious of course. Not too sweet and unlike any other cream cheese dessert we've had. The cheese in this was light as yogurt with the texture of feta cheese and the flavor of cream cheese. And this cheese combined with cherry "jam" and condensed milk coated each roll of pastry on this plate. For those of you who don't like desserts to be overly sweet and find that most cream cheese desserts are a bit too heavy, please try this dish. All in all, we will definitely be coming back here! And I intend to learn more about those sauces! read more

YUM! This was such a fun place. They really do their best to make it as authentic as possible from the decor to the clothes and music. The food did not disappoint. The Varennyky (perogies) were crispy and not too heavy, beef stroganoff had such a good flavor. The cutlet was very filled for my partner - also don't sleep on the carrots on that dish!! My only regret is not having room for dessert. I will say the one waitress wasn't the friendliest but that wont prevent me from going back. read more

One of the best Ukrainian restaurants in New York State! Traditional Ukrainian dishes are prepared with love, creativity, and an unexpected twist--like the Black Chebureki (meat pies). The Monastyrska Hata (Monastery Hut) layered cake with sour black cherries is an absolute must-try. And there's so much more to come back for! As a Ukrainian who loves to cook and explore new recipes, I can confidently say that the menu is rich, and the food is outstanding. The atmosphere alone deserves a separate review. The beautifully decorated space features a collection of rushnyky--Ukraine's famous embroidered decorative towels, each symbolizing different regions of the country. Highly recommended! read more

Corner of Ukraine - Chicken Kyiv - Ukrainian Near Me - Nyack, New York

My dad and I happened to be in Nyack and this restaurant caught our attention because we've never had Ukrainian food before and were very curious. The waitresses were in cute traditional attire with red dresses. A man passing by told us he orders frequently from here and loves their food, and that he lives right next door/above. We decided to order saukerkraut dumplings to go. They were ready in 20 minutes, 8 for $14. The dumplings did taste fresh and homemade, and we dipped them in a bit of sour cream. The flavor profile was very new to me- a subtle amount of sourness, but not too overpowering. I enjoyed it! read more

I had dinner there outside with a friend last night. Wow - what a charming place. My options were limited because I'm a vegetarian. They recommended their special salad with grilled branzino, which was Amazing. We also ordered borscht but I couldn't eat it because I forgot to ask if it had a beef base, which it does. So my friend took it home. They were so lovely about the pivot. The service was excellent, the people couldn't be more kind, and the portions are very generous. It was a very good price for what we ordered. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Beautiful decor, delicious food and attentive service - dining here becomes an unforgettable experience. My son and I had Beet Carpaccio as a starter; he ordered Holubcy and I asked for vegetarian Varennyky (our lovely waitress recommended potato and sauerkraut). When my dish turned up in an artful arrangement, the waitress suddenly apologized that she had forgotten that I was vegetarian, and put the signature Ukrainian lard on top :-). She took it back and shortly returned with a fully vegetarian version. The white sauce with dill in my son's dish looked and smelled really good, and since it didn't mix with the meat, I scooped some from his plate and tasted it. It was heavenly! We ordered Monastyrska Hata as our dessert. When it turned up, the large size shocked us, and we both said we couldn't finish it. But as soon as we dug into it, we couldn't stop eating! All throughout our dinner, I kept sending photos to my Ukrainian pianist, the last caption being "this dessert is to die for!" The food is very rich, and one meal is enough to savor for many days :-) read more

We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of restaurants in Nyack. We strolled down the Main Street and it was Corner of Ukraine that caught our eye. The ambiance was totally different from what we expected, but we got a whiff of the food as we entered and were immediately transported to another place and time. Maybe it was the decor or the writing on the wall or the traditional garb of our waitress. Our experience continued as we were brought our dishes. So many things on the menu tempted us but we narrowed it down to the mushroom soup served with a stuffed crepe, the tomato cucumber salad with olive oil instead of sour cream, and the piece de resistance- the housemade kielbasa. I've never had it served that way - it was amazing! Everything was very good! We even treated ourselves to some Ukrainian red wine, which was great, too. We chatted with the manager, expressing our empathy for the situation in the Ukraine, and discovered that the restaurant had recently opened and that the word was slowly spreading around town. I urge locals and visitors alike to give them a try. You will not be disappointed! read more
