Great ambience, beautiful restaurant. Had English menu. We had asked the staff for recommendations of their popular dishes but were returned with an “all good” reply. It was not helpful at all for foreigners like us. Obviously the staff did not know their menu well to be recommending dishes to represent the true Russian cuisine. So we had to rely on google for reviews.

The cabbage pie we ordered were not made fresh but rather heated up for serving hence the quality and texture were compromised.

The chicken Kiev we ordered were slightly undercooked and the chicken meat was slightly red (see last picture). We had feedback to the staff but he just nodded and walked away.

The pasta we ordered was on the tougher side but the sauce that was cooked with it was okay.

For the price range of this restaurant, higher standards are expected and there’s a lot more for this place to improve, in service and food quality. Will not recommend this place for food and service unless you just want to be sitting in a beautiful restaurant and paying for the ambience, enjoying the lunch discount of 20% and getting change in a handful of coins. 🤔 suggest to head to the restaurant opposite for an excellent meal and service.
