We came here because we read about the place in our guidebook. I rarely eat Russian food, but my girlfriend does quite often, so we thought it would be nice to give it a try. We shared the Borscht as a starter and went for meat and vegetarian Pelmenis (dumplings) for main course. The Borscht was really good, I liked that it was vegetarian if you abstained from the additional meat. The taste was good and a nice garlic bread was served to accompany it. The Dumplings were tasty, even though the vegetarian ones mainly tasted like potatoes and you couldn't really taste the mushrooms. Still a good culinary experience. The only thing we have to "complain" is the size of the dishes compared to the price. The prices are quite high, but that's normal in Finland. Still the size of the dishes doesn't really keep up to it. In general I would definitely recommend this place.

The Food was really good and the Service was friendly. Careful: The Cook may seem a little unfriendly in the beginning (That's because he is in a rush since he also serves his customers) but he is really friendly and if you need an adaptation for a certain menu, he will do it for you. You order the food via Tablet and he brings you the corresponding order, the drinks came in a decent time, although the food took a little longer. I had a Borsch soup and a Ham Blini. Both were very good and fresh. I would have preferred the Blini without Cocktail Sauce, but that's just my opinion ;) The prices are very good for finish standards. The interior is ok, although it could be designed more inviting, like more decorations and some Russian Folk Music. Overall a nice place, to get some Russian specialities with a friendly cook/servant for good prices.

Some of the best service we had in our 5 day stay in Helsinki. This place is down-home Russian vibes, in the best way. We started with a shot of vodka (served with a slice of pickle) and we had a blini with fish roe, then the meat dumplings (35 was a good idea, they are smaller than they seem) and then another blini for dessert, followed by another round of vodka. Like I said, Super friendly service, and the place was very clean, and reasonable pricing. Everything tasted wonderful, and you can watch them make the blinis (similar to a crepe) as they make them on the front bar. Basically it was some of the best restaurant times we had in Helsinki, and conveniently right across the street from the amusement park, so you can be sure we went for a last ride on the Taiga as the sun set. Thanks again for a lovely meal! 😝

It was quite an interesting experience to eat pancakes in the way I like them in Helsinki, have a chance to speak to the owner in Russian and dive into the childhood memories. The place is very simple, not the high class restaurant but more like a smal cafe, but it has what you need - food, which is quite nice there, not too pricey compared to other restaurants in Helsinki, but also giving a chance for people to try something more or less new. They offer both sweet and savoury pancakes, some soups. I liked the sweet thing I got, and my boyfriend really loves the place. So this could work as a late night snacking if being hungry and lazy to go to the city center.

Quirky charm, hearty and (for Helsinki) affordable food, in a part of town that has movie vibes on a chilly December evening. Visited with my brother and we had borscht, mushroom soup, various teas and sweet blinis - don't skip on the delightful caramel apple blini when you visit, although all the food was two yums up. 4.5 stars perhaps, but as four stars are apparently a negative in the hyperbole world of online, I do not wish to leave a review that could in any case be construed as negative. If you find the time and the homey charm and a slightly unique vibe might be yours, give Bkinit a try!

A cozy and authentic Russian place with good prices and hearty, tasty food. The atmosphere is very homely: on our visit the owner's(?) children were playing at the next table and many customers seemed to be regulars. You should try several dishes if possible! My picture shows the vegetarian pelmenis (okay, a little bland) and the blini with salmon and cheese (very heavy, so not for the weak :D). For dessert we shared the blini with strawberry sauce and whipped cream, which was to die for! They also serve alcohol.
