This is a very standard experience, and somewhat overpriced. I had to pay £9 for my main dish, a bowl of savoury pastries filled with cottage cheese- just cottage cheese- and topped with yoghurt sauce. There was nothing else- no garnish, no greens. Quite hard work trawling though such an unispiring dish. The service is fast, and polite. I however will not return as I can eat far better food on Cowley Road for less.

The food is amazing- really tastes homemade...cozy atmosphere, very nice to have a Russian restaurant, especially a good one... celebrated my birthday there, and had a great time, thanks a lot

Well there is a lot I can say about this restaurant. First, the atmosphere is stunning, I was really surprised by the posh design! Secondly: the food is delicious, I can't stop eating it and go there almost everyday. I recommend this place to everybody!  I would go for 8 out of 10 for now, however I think the guys are going to make it even better in the near future! Good luck to them ;)

Good quality food, as previous reviewer below stated has homemade feel to it (although this doesn't detract from the quality). Not all main meals are the same size and thus it may be best to ask for recommendations - for instance the dish which contained Siberian dumplings was considerably smaller than the pork with cheese, tomatoes and mashed potatoes. The traditional pancakes are very nice and good value - for just over £2 you get two pancakes in a size the English are used to on pancake day (!), but of a much higher quality that most homemade ones. Friendly (and funny) staff and the price isn't too steep - two beers, two main meals, two pancakes (one with red caviar) came to £35.

Had a lovely meal here. The food was really tasty and had that home cooked taste and look about it. Can recommend it to anybody who wants good service, tasty food and value for money. Will definitely be returning soon!
