Cheburechnaya — Restaurant in New York

Cons. Mediocre food. Cheburechnaya salad had weird choice of ingredients, fresh vegetables, along with pickled olives and peppers. topped with Italian dressing and avocado half. Overall too much of different type of vegetables in one veirdly chopped combo. Olivier salad had too much of canned green peas and not much of meat, I also noticed that pickles were lazy chopped. Shish kabobs were ok, however can be more tender and less fatty. Chebureks were freshly made, to order, looking very nice. Although, meat had too much spices, it was hard to distinguish meat flavor. Pros. Price is right, chebureks and kebobs are priced right. Probably good option if you're looking for Russian/Soviet cuisine in the neighborhood. You can bring your own liquor and spirits. I heard about this place, so I decided to come here from Brooklyn, where I can find plenty of restaurants that offer same food choices. However, I was not impressed, based of my impression, as of today it's not worth the trip, but they can do much better with food, interor, and overall experience, there is a potential for and...

My main concern was the customer service. The waitress that serves us was not welcoming at all; i dont know if she was having a bad day or was tired, no matter what a waiter/waitress SHOULD make the clients feel comfortable when it comes to accepting and delivering the orders. I personally liked the food, nice chunks of food, not like other restaurants who serve you comparably small portions but it would be better if they marinated the meat longer. Due to the negligence, they forgot to bring some of our orders. We told the waitress, she said "i will look at this" and and called another guy who accepts the orders. He apologized for inconvenience and took care of the matter. As we could not get a hold of our waitress, we asked another waitress to bring the check; she took the money and did not bring the receipt nor the change; it was not a big deal, we would have left it anyway, but for the sake of their reputation, the should have handled the clients professionally. I dont think we will...

Today, my boyfriend and I visited cheburechnaya, eager to indulge in some Buharian cuisine. Unfortunately, our experience was a letdown, particularly with the cheburechnaya salad, shish kebab, baba ghanoush. Shish kebab, typically a flavorful and tender, usually vibrant flavors of marinated chicken were muted, leaving the dish tasteless. Cheburechnaya salad was a major disappointmen. It lacked the essential spices and herbs that make savory and aromatic. Worse still, it was not fresh undersalted, making each bite bland. The service was friendly, but the staff seemed overwhelmed, leading to slow service. The ambiance was pleasant, with cozy decor, but it couldn't compensate for the subpar food. Our experience fell short of expectations. Hopefully, they will revisit their recipes and improve their dishes to better serve...
