Gamla Stans Lykta — Restaurant in Stockholm

If you want to have genuine homemade Russian food, this is THE place. I was raised in Siberia, and I have spent more than 10 years searching the world outside Russia for my favourite childhood food: real homemade Siberian dumplings. There are many places that say they serve homemade dumplings, but I have never been able to find that real taste of rich meat and soft, thin dough. That is, until I stumbled across Gamla Stans Lykta. This place truly has the most authentic and delicious Russian food I have ever tried at any establishment. From their borsch to the dumplings, to the honey cake dessert, everything was a real taste of my childhood. You can tell the Chef really cares about her craft. I cannot recommend Gamla Stans Lykta highly enough. It is going to be my regular stop from now on any time I...

Amazing food and exceptional service!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. From the moment we walked in the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening.

The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was fresh, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The menu had a great variety and the staff were happy to recommend dishes based on our preferences.

What really stood out was the service from the waiter Julia, an amazingly nice girl, she was friendly, professional and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so well looked after.

Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and first class service. I will...

I don’t usually review restaurants, but this place was exceptional. Stumbled upon it while looking for a place to have dinner, and although they were about to close, the staff let me sit down and order.

Everything I had was great. They had quality Borscht, which is the sign that an Eastern European restaurant is good, the pelmeni were unbelievably good, and paired perfectly with the hot sauce they served, and their honey cake was too die for. It’s hard to find honey cake that good outside of Eastern Europe.

The service was great too, as everyone I interacted with was really nice and helpful. I would 100% recommend this for lunch or dinner. Good location, good vibe, fabulous food....
