A friend of mine has been talking about this place for years. She always talked about how it was a small family business and the food is amazing. So finally while she was in town we called up to see if they were open and if we could get a reservation. We got in on a Friday and with that you can use a Groupon. When we got in the place was just in the small dining room. The tables were set far apart, so for people who do not want to be close to others this helps. We ended up ordering and getting drinks. The server was super nice and gave his recommendations. The food was amazing and so was the wine. They have authentic food. I would definitely recommend this place for their food. It is tucked away in the corner so hard to find but when you do, you will keep coming back. read more

I have never had a bad experience at The Fiddler! Valentine's Day. No reservation. Needed to use a prix fixe GroupOn before it expired. We expected to be turned away. The host frowned a bit, said we are full tonite, but I can make this work. Yay! Waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, professional and anticipated all of our needs. I ordered the lamb chops, medium rare. She ordered the chicken. Both were excellent. The borshch was delightful. The potatoes were perfectly cube'd and roasted. The dessert was fine; but not memorable. Frankly; I cannot remember what we shared. The restroom was spotless. Will I return? Oh, hell yes! read more

Have been coming here since I was a child! The food never disappoints, and there's always more than needed! With the previous owner and the present owner, the atmosphere did not change, working in the restaurant's favor. The environment is always fun, and the staff is quick with providing beverages and meals. I would definitely recommend their lamb chops. They are made by the owner, and even though I do not usually enjoy lamb chops, I would eat those for every meal. The same goes for the side dish (rice with raisins). I had many parties here and have been to many events of others, and each experience is unique and amazing! read more

I was raised on farmer's cheese, dill, smoked fish, caviar, borscht, brown bread and every meal seemed to have sour cream/creme fraiche as a must. I feel at home here. I must because this place is a haul and I am not a West Bloomfield type girl. I always feel far too blue collar, west sider and out of place when I am in WB but not in this particular building at least. I like appetizers best and usually just make a meal of mixing and matching them. The pelmeni and vareniki are authentic. I do wish they had a farmer's cheese variety vareniki topped with the tart cherry sauce as that is more familiar to me from my grandmother. The cherry with more cherry is a bit much. I also like the perfectly done latkes with both sour cream and applesauce, I need both and alternate bites of each. I like the blini with the red salty caviar but am spoiled by having cut my teeth on far better caviars. I do not turn my nose up at this lesser type at any rate. I just like caviar period. The cold beet borscht is by far my preference, the hot variety is merely ok but the cold is just the way to go to truly get the flavor of beet. My gran's hot was so far superior to theirs I was not impressed. The cold here, however, is closer to what I know from homemade. It's red, smooth and beautiful. The lox plate is good at lunch, I adore things like this everywhere though. The chicken kabob pita was nice the one time I sampled it. It is just too hard not to get more apps. The dinners have all just been ok. Kind of a waste of time, stick with apps. The cheese blintzes with strawberries make a lovely dessert. Indulge in some cold vodka while you are here. It of course goes well with the food. :). I of course adore it. read more

This place is always on point. Get the Groupon, you get a feast for two. We love the mushroom chicken and lamp chops. The borscht is amazing- our one year old daughter loves it! read more

As someone who is one-fourth Russian, I had some exposure to the cuisine as a child. After the age of 10, however, I was deprived of the pleasure of this cuisine until I discovered The Fiddler several years ago. What a delight. Check out the strudel. What is more, they have vegetarian stuffed cabbage to die for. My omnivorous brothers and sisters rave similarly about the meat dishes. Dig the atmosphere, too (especially when there is entertainment). I feel privileged to have The Fiddler around, even 40 minutes away. read more

Mom and I drove 25 miles from Sterling Heights to try this unique restaurant. We are not Russian and they only thing we know Russian is Maks on Dancing with the Stars...then again, we don't even 'know' him. So we were looking forward to trying out a pure Russian restaurant. The restaurant is a small, sparsely decorated room. The ambiance was festive with lights swirling around the room and a lone man on stage signing to a sound track of various, presumed Russian tunes. The waitress was somewhat slow but the young men waiting to clear the table were friendly, quick and efficient. The food was very fresh and plentiful. The prices were little high at a low average of $15.00 to high average of $25.00 but I think it was OK price wise for the amount you were served and the fact that everything seemed very fresh. In addition to the delicious, fresh salad and bread the main meal was served with two moderate sized stuffed cabbage and roasted potatoes (my selected side). I love stuffed cabbage and this meal did not disappoint. There was plenty of tasty meat inside. I would have preferred more cabbage on the outside rather than one thin layer but over the stuffed cabbage was good. There was a small amount of tomato sauce on top that added to the flavor. The roasted red potatoes were plentiful and roasted to perfection, they were delicious. Our drinks were tasty and moderately priced. I had a house cabernet at $6 and mom had a Cosmopolitan at $6. Our dessert was forgettable. We were looking forward to the Napoleon cake but it was nothing but a small slice of strudel with some white cream inside. I also ordered the Russian Chocolate and received two candy bars. They were pretty good candy bars although both were dark chocolate and I really don't care for dark chocolate. Overall it was a very positive and interesting experience. read more

I had a Groupon for this place for $40 value for the price of $25. It could only be used on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. We decided to go on a Friday night. I was really excited to try it because it had gotten pretty good reviews on Yelp and I had never had Russian food before. It was a little difficult to find on Orchard Lake. It was kind of hidden on the back-side of Crispelli's. Any way, we finally found it. Upon entering, my first impression was that it appeared to resemble an 80's banquet hall. There were disco lights everywhere and loud, Russian music was being played. Some people were up dancing. In general, it looked like people were having fun, eating, drinking, and being merry. I had to ask the waiter if this was the correct area because it seemed like a private party was going on more so than the general public restaurant area. It was pretty crowded and my friend and I felt a bit out of place. We were seated over to the side by the window. I already knew what I wanted to order because I read the Yelp reviews and looked at the menu. Yelp also had an offer where you got a free glass of wine with your check-in. I showed the waiter and he said that offer was only good on a certain day or time and so I couldn't get it at the time. I explained that I didn't see that listed anywhere. He said he'd have to check with his manager. He came back and said I was able to get it. So, I ordered a glass of Riesling...can never really go wrong with a glass of Riesling. For the appetizers, we went with the borscht and pirogies with meat. I didn't care much for the borscht. It was okay, a bit on the sweet side for me. I ate about two spoonfuls and was done. I cared for the pirogies even less...so much so that I asked the waiter if we could get the meat blintzes instead. Again, he needed to go check with the waiter. He came back and said that it was okay for us to get the blintzes instead. I didn't care for those either although they were better than the pirogies to me. I took a couple of bites and was done. My eating companion said they weren't bad and continued to consume them. For our entrees, I went with the sturgeon. My companion was having a hard time deciding so I suggested the classic beef stroganoff. I mean, you can't really go wrong with that, right? Wrong! It did not taste like traditional stroganoff to me . It was simply not good. I was also disappointed with the sturgeon. It did not resemble the picture on the menu and had a weird aftertaste. It was my first time ever tasting the fish so I don't have much to compare it to but it was not good to me. The salad that came with our entrees had an overly sweet dressing. The bread was basic but edible. So, needless to say, I ate bread and butter and drank my glass of Riesling for dinner. We did end up taking our food to go and dropping it off to some friends. Just because we didn't like it didn't mean it should go to waste. In all fairness, it was my first time tasting Russian food so I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste. I can say that I did not enjoy what I tasted. I'm sorry, I really wanted to like it but I just did not enjoy it. The service wasn't bad. Although our waiter had to "check with the manager" for everything, he did a pretty good job. But I don't see myself returning to The Fiddler again. read more

I was excited to go to this place already, as I love Russian culture and knew I would love the cuisine as well. That being said, this still eclipsed even my high expectations. I was fortunate enough to find a groupon for the place for 40$ in food for only 25$, a huge steal for the quality of the food and service. It started with the atmosphere. Everything is lit perfectly, with soft jazz music playing and the place is extremely clean. The waiters are all Russian and ready with good recommendations to help with the difficult decision of what to get on the menu. They have a great selection of appetizers. I went with the Cheese Blintzes and they were absolutely amazing. They serve them with a fresh fruit preserve/sauce that just goes great with the hot, perfectly baked rolls of gooey goodness. Next they brought out the house salad and bread, both of which were extremely fresh. The bread was unique from most house breads and nice and firm. It went great with the Russian import beer that the waiter had recommended to me. I truly enjoyed it and will definitely be ordering the beer again. The entree of Siberian pelmenis had extremely generous portions and were cooked to absolute perfection! I had mine with beef, but chicken and lamb were also options. They are served with sour cream, which takes them to that next level. I was completely in heaven! Then came dessert. The 7 layer Napoleon cake was so flaky and held together very nicely. It wasn't nearly as sweet as I was expecting and tasted more like pie crust with just a hint of some kind of frosting-style filling. I rather enjoyed it, but if you are trying to get your sugar fix, you might want to try something else. The Russian chocolates were very interesting and not what I was expecting. It had a wide variety of chocolates, some of which had odd fillings. Others tasted like they had coffee infused with them. It varied with milk, dark and white chocolate. It was good, but not what I would consider to be far superior to American craft chocolate. The price was fair all around and the service was extremely professional. Live jazz music was being played starting at 7pm (on saturday) and it was just one guy with his laptop and keyboard. It was not too distracting and was a nice touch to an already elegant atmosphere. I can't wait to visit again and recommend you do the same! read more

Horrible dinner experience. The food was not fresh, and most of the appetizer meat was not edible and tasted rotten. Made me sick. I love red caviar, but theirs was also really bad with nearly rotten fishy smell and over salted, not sure if they serve expired caviar masking the spoilage with the salt. I had to spit it out, because if I swallowed it, I thought I will throw up. The main meat coarse was so dry and tasteless, it was hard to swallow without chasing with water. We were trying to eat at least something to not be hungry, but for sure not to enjoy the food. I've been to this restaurant several times before, and thought it got better with new ownership. Unfortunately it got even worse. Much worse. Some of my friends got sick after eating there. Wherever they get there food from seems shady. Definitely avoid if you want to enjoy your dinner! read more

Lunch includes free compot, also has a deal on yelp 10 for $20 Lunch menu is cheaper as well and same portions of food. Try 3 different Russian salads- olivje, eggplant and plain Russian -$10 Strogenoff, pelmeni, borch are very good! Friendly staff, good music, clean place and cheap! We will be back! read more

What a unique experience! The service was extremely fast and the servers were always on point in taking away our empty plates. When we came (Sunday night), there was a live musician who not only sang but also played the violin. They also cleared the middle of the restaurant so people were dancing which was super nice. A very family friendly place. With regards to the food, this is the first time I've been to a Russian restaurant and I'm definitely going to find more. We started with the summer salad, which tbh wasn't anything special. But, their house salad which comes with all the entrees was great! We also got the Borscht which I this beet soup and it tasted so good. The perogis were great as well but it didn't stand out compared to the soup and house salad. Now onto the entrees. You MUST GET THE LAMB CHOPS!! you get 4 big pieces of the perfectly cooked lamb that's very tender and juicy and filled with flavor. We also go the chicken cutlet, which was just okay. Then, the 7Layer Napoleon Cake! It was great and I highly recommend getting it. All this food I mentioned was the perfect amount for 3 people and with our Groupon ($25 for $40), our total came out to $40 ($80 without the Groupon) I would definitely recommend coming here Friday or Saturday night as those nights are guaranteed music. Tonight I think we just got lucky :) read more

This was our 4th visit and, unfortunately, their quality has declined, both service and food. The service was so slow I could have done it 3 times the speed and I don't work in the restaurant industry. Trying to get the waiter's attention was useless. The food quality has also declined compared to earlier visits. read more

Good quality Eastern European fare served in small, dated room. My guess is the restaurant part of the business is now playing "second fiddle" (pun intended) to the Supper Club business on the other side of the wall. In times past, the service in this place was god awful, and far from friendly. I made a mistake of mentioning this observation to our nice, young waiter Mike, when he'd ask had we ever been here before. I suppose he tool that cue to proceed to drop 3 courses on us virtually simultaneously. If you can get past the lack of ambience, the food is still solid and authentic. read more

If you are looking for authentic Russian food with a flair of Caucasus, The Fiddler is about as close as it gets. Food is delicious, very authentic, and plentiful. There's really no meal that I had there that wasn't first grade. My personal favorites are Pozharsky cutlets with roasted potatoes, chicken or lamb kebob, or lamb chops. read more

In town for a visit. Had dinner there. Excellent food service and atmosfere. Lamb Chops, Lamb Chops - Best in town! VERY clean and friendly place. I will make a poin of returning the next time I'm in Detroit. read more

The Fiddler - Lamb CHOPS - Best in town! - Russian Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

We had a Groupon for the Prix Fixe Dinner for Four and it was great. It was not crowded when we arrived at 6:45 so we were greeted immediately and given our choice of where to sit. The waiter was very pleasant and helpful. He explained the Prix Fixe dinner and was very attentive to our table. Other people started to arrive but that did affect our service. The food was delicious starting with a salad made of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions with a nicely seasoned oil base dressing. The borscht was served hot and it was delicious, as were the perogies. I never had Russian style perogies before but they are now a favorite. We got to choose from three different entrees and three of us chose lamb chops while the fourth picked chicken. All of our chops were cooked perfectly and I was told the chicken was very tender and moist. Unfortunately we did not have time to stay for dessert but they boxed it up for us and knowing we were rushed, came with the check right away. I highly recommend this restaurant but don't expect a large facade or curb presence because it is tucked away in the middle of a strip mall. But that should not deter you from having a delicious unique meal. read more

They are doing everything to make us feel safe eating out during this pandemic. Everyone was wearing masks and they took our temperature before we entered. The food was delicious, we loved everything we tried. The borscht, pierogues, and lamb chops were amazing!! We would highly recommend checking this place out! Support local! read more

Second time here, food is fabulous and the service is too! Mike was informative, personable and very attentive. Best lamb chops ever, and chicken cutlets were awesome read more

Found this amazing restaurant from a Groupon deal (dinner for 2) so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left the service was incredible. Our server Oleh checked on us often and answered any questions we had. I was extremely pleased with the food, I can not say enough how tasty the Ukrainian soup and russian perogies were (and I am not a soup person). Also, going there on a Friday or Saturday evening you get to enjoy live entertainment. Remember to call and make reservations because this is definitely a place to visit, I know we will be going back read more

My family visited Fiddler on a Friday evening - there was a plate of cut Challah near the bar, an amazing site to see! I went here with my Jewish family when I was younger, and I was blown away this time by our visit - this is a really, really great place to eat dinner on Friday or any night. My family and I ordered the borscht and chicken noodle soup - the borscht, was excellent. The Challah was excellent. We had the stuffed cabbage app. - it was good. For the main course I ordered a garlic-sauteed chicken, my parents liver and beef brisket. Both were very good - the side dishes of mashed potatoes were amazing. Like former reviewers said, this place has mucho character. It is expensive but I believe it is economical and a great place to eat a meal! read more

The Fiddler is located in the heart of West Bloomfield on Orchard Lake Road just south of Maple. They specialize in Eastern European, Russian, Ukraine cuisine and, of course, alcohol! I've been here on many occasions from dinner, brunch, weddings, bridal showers and holiday dinners. My family often chooses to celebrate an event here because of the friendly proprietors and great service. Fiona and her husband, the owners, never fail to make you feel welcome and make sure you are taken care of whenever you visit. I would suggest trying them out for a Sunday brunch, especially if its a special occasion such as Mother's day. Every Saturday night (I think) they put on a Russian 'club' night with live music and special courses prepared just for that evening. They try to emulate the Russian 'clubs' that are so huge in Brooklyn and Miami but kind of fall short do to lack of space and I feel, the smaller Russian, Ukrainian, Former USSR community that is so abundant in other cities (such as New York). I recommend the Borscht, its amazing here. I also love the latkes (potato pancakes), chicken tabaka (sp?) and smoked fish. Oh and don't forget the vodka! read more

So, yeah. I work with some people from the former Soviet Union. What's funny to me is that when I walked in the The Fiddler, I saw a guy who looks just like one of the guys at work except for the fact that this guy behind the bar looked like a fat version of my co-worker. I actually texted a friend from work, "I'm at The Fiddler eating Russian food. The guy behind the bar looks like a fat [name omitted to protect the innocent]!" My friend responded, "Too funny!" There was something about seeing my co-worker's look-alike that was comforting. It made a heck of a lot of sense. Now, I have been to The Fiddler before. I enjoyed it then. I enjoyed it again last night. I started off with some borscht. Now, I'm not the most experienced guy when it comes to eating Russian food, but I really liked the borscht served here at The Fiddler. It was every bit the comforting soup that I needed at that point--just the thing to steel yourself against the cold. I suppose that makes sense. I mean, it sure looks like it gets cold in Mother Russia. I think I might have overdone the sour cream in my soup, because I had nothing left for my red caviar and blinis. I opted for the 6-blini version rather than the 12-blini version of the red caviar and blinis. I'm a pretty big fan of roe, but unfortunately, I know that I've not had the really good stuff yet. I think I'm going to have to hit that on a trip I hope to take to St. Petersburg sometime. Anyway, I enjoyed it immensely. One can only imagine what will happen when I have the good stuff. I ordered the lamb chops. I opted for three instead of five, because I ate a boatload of food for lunch. These lamb chops were decently tasty. I can't say they were particularly great, however. They were a bit dry and overdone. I've had better. If I recall them correctly, I think I prefer the lamb chops at Allegro, but it's been a while. I bookended the meal with shots of Stolichnaya, a very old friend with whom I haven't hung for a very long time. It was good to see my old friend. He brought some buddies along, a piece of rye bread and some little pickles. Those were the perfect compliment to the Stoli. I followed the whole ritual of smelling the bread, a "na zdorovye," doing the shot, smelling the bread, etc. just for the fun of it. You know, it really works. It makes the vodka better, I think. The bread and the pickles really are complimentary to the vodka. I even said that I can't really imagine doing another vodka shot without them. It's just too good to do it with them. read more

It's different, it is a Russian restaurant, and they are proud of this fact. There was in fact a fiddler playing music accompanied by a karokia machine and singing occasionally. So we tried a sampler platter of russian salads and Borsch soup, and a Russian desert. The borsch soup was good and flavorful but it's still cabbage. The salads are more vinager base than anything else. This restaurant also offers a number of fish dishes, appetizers and entries, too. So the food was good, different from the normal fair, so it was a nice change of pace. I'm just not sure when I would go back and try more of the menu, which is why I'm rating it a three. The atmosphere of the place was strange. So I understand this is a family own restaurant, and they are trying their best, but it was a strange seating arrangement with individual dinners close to or near a couple of large banquets going on at the same time. Maybe the closeness would have improved with a couple shots of vodka. But if you are stuck looking for a change of place to go, this would be a place I would suggest to you. I think it's worth investigating a different culture's cuisine. read more

We have eaten here twice. It is a special dinner to celebrate our sons adoption from Russia. We like it because it is authentic Russian or Eastern European. The food was again excellent and the waitstaff attentive. Lamb chops the best we have ever had and the portions are generous for the price. The mixed drink my husband had was not great but I don't think that warrants a down grade in the rating. Its not a bar and the drinks are just an extra to the food which is the main point. The 7 layer cake was so good and very light! Looking forward to our next visit. read more

I usually visit this place for anniversaries and birthdays but never once had the pleasure to do so for Sunday brunch. The menu is to die for, especially in this cold season. Good salad selection, not to mention entrees. Very satisfying even for the most picky eater like myself. I highly recommend their lamb chops and pelmeni. The free compot is very tasty. I would also like to commend the owners and the staff. Everyone was very professional and courteous. I am definitely back next time I'm in town! read more

My husband and I had one of the best night we'd had in a long time. We had the olivieh, seafood salad and beet salad, with blinchiks....of course with vodka, pickles and pumpernickel bread. The live music was the highlight. We danced after dinner to classics and new pop. We will be back veryyyy soon for another round!!! Amazing place. read more

Went there with a groupon and my boyfriend in tow. Without the groupon, our 5-course meal with one drink each (2 people) would have been $80 total. So for the price of near-free (our coup was for $69), it was great. The Fiddler had some of the best food I've ever tasted. There was nothing we didn't like. The borscht was delicious, ukrainian pierog, also great, but the best was the neopolitanka dessert at the end. I was so full from the 4-course (including lamb chops and a smashed hen), but I was loooving it and eating up the dessert. Only downside was that our waitress was a little awkward. Kind of young and probably new to waitressing. And the decorations were questionable. Everything on the floor and walls was alright, but then you got to the ceiling and ask WTF? Disco balls and brightly-colored Christmas-light balls is what it seemed like. Paintings on the wall were totally not Russian either. At least they did have a real fiddler performing (weekend nights only). So all-in-all, food = amazing, 10 stars! Atmosphere = 5 out of 10. read more

I took my wife to The Fiddler for our anniversary. It was GREAT. The service was wonderful & so was the food. It was our first time going to a Russian restaurant, but it won't be our last. There wasn't a course that we didn't like. The neapolitan dessert was an incredible ending to a wonderful evening. WOW! Why are you still reading this? Get in your car and go there NOW! :) read more

I feel like I am not sure about this place. I went here with a Groupon and got the 5-course meal. That included a salad, soup, pierogi, main course and dessert. While I enjoyed the soup and the dessert, I did not really care for anything else. And the 'pierogi' was made with ground meat in a puff pastry, not the typical pierogi I am used to. And while the food was not bad, I did not think it was great. However, the service was very good and friendly and I enjoyed the woman who sang and played the violin. read more

We tried this place out for the first time last night, and enjoyed just about every minute we were there. We were part of a large group so we had the banquet-style meal. Which started off with a chopped vegetable salad, followed by soup, then there were meat-pie appetizers, then came the entrees. Platters of individual meat-loafs I guess, that's the best way I can describe them and roasted potatoes. The entree course was the highlight of the meal, the texture of the meat was so surprising, with amazing flavor, and the potatoes were roasted to perfection! Finally we were served coffee, tea, and a layered-pastry dessert, which rounded out the meal so nicely. (I should also mention that there were baskets of bread as well) We'd never been to a Russian restaurant before, so when the live music started and the lights dimmed, a few uncertain glances were exchanged. But this added a lovely authenticity to the meal, we even got in a bit of dancing. To wrap this up, we'll certainly be going back again. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking to try something new, interesting and very tasty. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

Awesome traditional food from Eastern European/former Soviet countries. We enjoyed a delicious lunch by sharing 3 different entrees, pirogi, pelmeni and beef stroganoff between the 3 of us and then shared 2 deserts, blintz filled with Nutella topped with cherries and the Napoleon cake. Oh and the compote was a real treat! We left very full and happy! We will definitely come back to try the dinner items. read more

We have only eaten here a few times over several years mainly because they are not on our side of town. We should be eating here more often because we love the food, the staff always treats us well, and they have a very different and interesting menu. I remember having a variety of Russian and Jewish entrees and thoroughly enjoying everything we have had. I particularly like their Borsht, both hot and cold are great. I'm thinking we need to make a return visit. read more

The Fiddler - Perfect for our work holiday party. - Russian Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

- Great Authentic Russian Food You Can Taste I have been to The Fiddler more than 5 times and it is a pretty good place for people who want to try tasty Russian food. The food I like the most is Borsch, which is a Ukranian vegetable soup (color: red) and I think it is both very healthy and tasty. If you order bowl size, the portion is so big that your stomach will be at least 50 percent full. You can also enjoy their dessert called Napoleon. Napoleon looks great and tastes great as well. One thing I am not satisfied with is that they don't open for lunch at all and they don't open for at least 3 days a week. read more

Excellent service, so impressed! Mike went above and beyond to accommodate us! The atmosphere and the hospitality, very pleasant, highly recommend. Oh and the food!! This was a girls night out on Friday, what a great choice with loive music and dancing at the end! read more

When I say that the beef stroganoff is perfect, I mean it is immaculate - flawless. I'd live in their kitchen if they'd let me.

Went to brunch here with my parents once. It was actually pretty creepy, there were just a bunch of older Russian men staring at us the entire time we ate. We had a second Groupon for it but ended up just letting it expire. read more

Don't let looks deceive you, this place has awesome food! I'll admit, that while it does look like a stereotypical chain mall restaurant, inside are some of the best recipes and flavors I've ever had. It was a wonderful experience all around and I look forward to my next visit. My only gripe is why the place was dead during what should have been a lunch/dinner rush, but I can only assume that people don't know of this wonderful little gem hidden in the rough. My mother was given a Groupon for The Fiddler which included a 4-course meal for four people. Everything from the service to the food was excellent. The Borscht was particularly sweet and flavorful. My mother and boyfriend got the lamb chops, while me and my brother got a delicious mushroom and eggplant dish for our vegetarian option which was utterly superb! I can absolutely see us returning in the future! read more

Very rude and inconsiderate management. We were treated very poorly, and the chicken was dry and tasteless. I will not ever be returning to this restaurant. I have nothing good to say about it. I would rather eat fast food than this crap. read more
