Reviews ‪russian Kitchen House Cafeteria‬

This is such a fantastic restaurant! The owner was incredibly kind, and the food was delivered for free to us in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend the borscht and salad Olivier; probably the best I've had in my entire life. It even beats the food I've had in Russia. Delicious food, and a lovely experience :)

The food was very fresh and yummy! I ordered the potato and cheese vareniki and I will certainly be going back for more! Satisfied my craving completely.

It was great to taste some russian food. 😍

I have been craving Russian food for days, so I ordered delivery from here. We got meat pancakes, plov, Russian Style pasta, and pirojkis (potato and meat)

The food arrived very quickly, within 45 minutes. I was impressed! Meat pancakes and both types of pirojkis were absolutely amazing and really hit the spot. Unfortunately the pasta lacked flavour, but was still okay. The plov however was not authentic at all. It tasted more like a Chinese fried rice. It was very disappointing as I do love a good, flavourful plov. However, it did satisfy my cravings so it’s good overall! Will probably order from here again, but my hunt for good plov continues!

What a lovely cozy place to go for yumy real hearty food
went for late lunch today after long time since know about this tiny great place but was unable to find company as not all my friends are open to try new cuisine
Place is in hamdan street near Russian embassy not easy to park as this area having parking issue but since it is friday was easy to park.
Lovely nice neat place with simple decoration but great
place is not big so cannot fit for big groups
We first had vegetable beef bourch soup with the russian bread it is simply yummy healthy soup!
We had compot cherry drink amd kvas which is kind of freshing non alcohol beer abd we loved both drinks
The cherry compot drink the nice lady who is owner of place Anna made it from cherries she got from her farm on ukraine

and we had crepes stuffed with cottage cheese served with sour cream this thing was so deleciouse too!
then we ended this great meal with tea with cinamon powder (I asked for cinamon and Anna had it in her kitchen too)
Highly recommended and will definetly go back there to try more russian tasty food

Do restauracji poszedłem zachęcony opiniami oraz niewielką odległością od naszego hotelu. Zamówiłem pierogi dla żony i kotlet wołowy z frytkami (wolałem zamiast ziemniaków). Jeśli chodzi o pierogi były idealne, porcja w sam raz, nie były mrożone co najważniejsze, a podebranie jednego pieroga z talerza żony prawie nie przypłaciłem życiem. Odnośnie kotleta super, dobrze doprawiony i idealnie wysmażony, dosłownie przed chwilą przygotowany. Do tego zamówiłem kwas do picia - w końcu domowe smaki. Jeśli ktoś jest już znudzony wszelaką kuchnią, to wraca do swoich przyzwyczajeń. Na koniec tylko zamówiliśmy jeden deser. Nie bardzo wiedziałem jakie to ciasta, ale Pani kelnerka pokazała dokładnie jak wyglądają z czego się składają dostępne w karcie ciasta - idealna obsługa. Zdjęcia wszystkiego wyszły tak sobie.. zanim je zrobiłem już się do jedzenia dobrałem :-) Smak deseru był idealny. Co najciekawsze za obiad, deser, napoje zapłaciłem 100. Za samo jedzenie wyszło by około 60. Tylko polecać :-)

Both the cafe and food was simple but still nice. The desert cakes were definitely the high point.  Staff were friendly. The only point of difference I noticed was some of the soups lacked the body you would expect in the broth. All in all worth the experience. Thanks

Amazing food in this restaurant. Purely Russian taste, very friendly staff. Soups all great, same at home. All food is fantastic. Not many people know about this restaurant because of location. But you have to try this delicious food.Satisfied

Delicious Ukrainian cuisine; a good variety of selected dishes. Food tastes homemade and is healthy. It's better than in hotels where things are overpriced and often low quality.

Love their cakes: cherepaha, tasted like coconut, and medovik (honeycake)
Main course didn't really fit for my asian tongue. I ordered grechka(buckwheat) with beef stroganoff and found grechka hard to chew (but healthy actually)

Food is amazing, like at home.
The staff is so friendly. There are even philipino girls understand the menu very well and always will help you with your choice if you not familiar with this kind of food.
I love it.

First time trying russian cuisine in a restaurant and not disappointed. Authentic house made Russian Food for a good ratio quality / price. Everything yummy from the salads to the honey cake (it is a must) !

A hidden gem indeed. Neatly tucked in near Russian Embassy, the place may seem very small but offers a lot for its quality. All items have a home cooked vibe. The meat pies and pelmini were amazing and topped off with honey cake was amazing.

Really authentic food, very nice and quick service without the frills. Borscht, lagmaan and medovic (honey) cake are a must try! 
A bit hard to find but ask cab drivers for the Russian embassy and then kinda walk around till you find it.

Been there few times n tried many dishes but never went wrong.....But a dash of Tabasco does gud for Indian palate...... Parking is a nightmare.

Never having tried Russian or Ukranian food before, I was always eager to dine here. Ordering the first time was a bit difficult because unlike other reviewers here, we were not provided with the picture book. However, the kind lady asked me a few questions and based on my answers, made suggestions. We ordered the Beef with onions and Russian style macaroni. Funnily after we ordered, we were presented with the book. The food was devoured just as quickly as it arrived. It was piping hot and was perfect winter food. We also tried the compote which was made out of fresh berries. It was delicious. The second time around, we requested for the picture book and after some Russian ‘show and tell’ we ordered Manti, Kiev cutlet, Beef stuffed cabbage roll. Invariably, all of the food here is garnished with dill and the flavour can sometimes seem tad overwhelming. A must try is the Kvass. I almost instantly fell in love with this fermented beverage made from rye bread and ended up ordering more. The ambience is not fancy; it’s a cafeteria after all. The service is very affectionate and homely. I found this in Zomato’s ‘Hidden Gems’ collection and it truly lives up to be one.

Excellent food. There is nothing i tried that wasn't perfect. Very nice ambience. Restaurant is very simple and cozy. Food feels like its homemade. Highly recommended

This restaurant one of the best Russian and ukrainian food that I tried, it is home made food by originally ukrainian chef woman that will make u feel that she invite you at her home, I wanted to give 5 as rate but I choose 4 because of small restaurant and not fancy place but the food quality is 5 of course, thanks for hospitality and delicious food.

It seems like your mother is asking you what do you want to eat for dinner? A mother with nearly home dress is serving me. She helped me to order and show me some photos to chose from. actually without the reviews I would've been lost. Thanks Delaine Dcosta.
*Service is mother service
*food quality is normal but it is healthy as it really home made
*location is difficult to find parking but I was lucky enough to find one.
Recommended.....try it. Different food style.

Read some reviews of this hidden gem awhile back and finally got the chance to experience it.
Straight to point...food was excellent!!! It's a very small place and the decor is very simple.
I had the "Russian style pasta" which was macaroni and a shredded beef. Sounds simple enough but perfectly seasoned! I also had one potatoe sandwich. Which is basically a deep fried potato stuffed with mashed potatoe lol it was plan but still good.
My husband had the "House style chicken" which was a half roast chicken smashed down into a steak lookin portion served with garlic mashed potatoes and a small green salad. Everything was filled with flavor. So if your not a fan of new bold flavors this is not for you. We enjoyed every bit of it. He also ordered the "pancakes". This side dish resembled a crepe. There were 5 different fillings: cabbage, potatoe, meet, cheese and jam. He got all but the cabbage. And these things were delicious.
To go with our meals we went with the "Compote" a delicious Russian tea/juice.

Over all a very delicious experience!! Will be back very soon!!!

Want genuine Russian food with personal service? This place is tiny but well worth locating and trying. I had stuffed bell peppers which were really excellent. You probably can't go wrong with any choice. Be prepared for the real thing.

One of the loveliest restaurants in AD. Location might put you off, but you'd be missing out on the fantastic food. Portions are good, taste is great, cooking is real home made, parking might be an issue though but don't let it stop you.
I always leave this place happier than when I walked in.

Very very good homely, friendly, place that serves excellent cuisine. Expect no frills but be prepared for good value for money food. We went in a group and tried many dishes there was not even one that I could fault, all were good. Othe ox tongue, Ukrainian steak, steak and onions. Just one warning, vegetarians better avoid going there.

This place is truly a hidden gem! I came across it on Zomato when I had my craving for honey cake. This lovely little home like cafe came up top in my list for the cake.

Nestled somewhere close to the Russian embassy you spot this homely cafe, buzzing with people, who want their first taste of Russian cuisine. I ordered a honey cake (cake medovik as they call it) and a chicken broth ( feeling guilty after ordering a cake past a long walk at the corniche). I must say, that both were made as though they were made with love. The lady who served me was kind enough to give me suggestions and guide me through the menu.

The honey cake was absolutely delectable with honey butter cream and soft spongy layers. The broth was hearty and complete after my dessert dive! Since I had turned my dessert to my main course, I decided that this place deserves a trip again that I set my courses right.

This place is both easy on the pocket and yummy in the tummy! I'd say definitely go for it!

I heard about Russian Kitchen through word of mouth which immediately made me expect something special! I was not disappointed. The owner was so delightful and helpful guiding us towards our dinner choices. The borache was hearty, delicious and comforting. The rest of out meal was equally satisfying. There is something special about feeling like you're eating food prepared by someone who loves you and this is how we felt eating at Russian kitchen. I plan to visit again and again to keep discovering Russian and Ukrainian cuisine!

Absolutely amazing & yummy food. The lady chef/owner was awesome and explained us all the dishes. Do not forget to try the honey cake! So delicious! It is better to go there with a group of people so you have more options to try  all the different kind of dishes. Especially when it is getting colder, the restaurant is the place to be for a hearty meal.

اكل روسي ممتاز

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) كان كل ما يمكنني قوله عندما عثرت على كافيتيريا Russian Kitchen House Cafeteria! مختبئًا بعيدًا في قسم سوق القماش والمفروشات في أبو ظبي ، هذا المطعم الصغير المكون من خمسة طاولات قد ضرب جميع الأوتار الصحيحة خلال زيارتنا الأولى. كان الوقت متأخرًا بعد الظهر عندما كانت زوجتي ووالدتها تزوران من الولايات المتحدة ، وتوقفت فقط للحصول على بعض الوجبات الخفيفة. تم الترحيب بنا بحرارة من قبل المالك والطاهي المبتهجين والورديين وسرعان ما عرضنا على طاولة. تم قراءة القائمة التي تلقيناها مثل صندوق وصفة من الجدة. مجموعة متنوعة من الأطعمة المنزلية ، والراحة ، والراحة من جميع أنحاء روسيا. بدأنا بطلب طبق من الزلابية محشو بالملفوف اللذيذ وبعض البطاطس الكريمية. كان لدينا وعاء كبير من مخلل الخيار. هذه لم تكن مخللات ، لكن خيار شريحة مخلل حقيقي ، هش حتى اللدغة. استمر هذا الطبق دقيقتين فقط. بعد ذلك كان لفائف الملفوف. تاك خوروشو! جيد جدا! المرق الذي نقع فيه اللفائف مصنوع من أجل حساء رائع بعد التهام اللفائف. كانت لفائف الملفوف لذيذة ومتبلة جيدًا. كان العنصر التالي لدينا دجاج كييف. أنا معتاد على الحصول على هذا الطبق ، وعادة ما يكون الدجاج جافًا وغير مفضل. ليس اليوم! قيل لنا أن الطبق سيستغرق حوالي 25 دقيقة للتحضير وأنه يستحق الانتظار. طبقة خارجية من فتات الخبز المحمرة والمقرمشة تجمع قطعة رطبة وناعمة من الدجاج الطري والجبن التي تذوب في فمك. كان جهاز أخذ العينات الأخير طبقًا تقليديًا من الخبز المخبوز (الفطائر) باللحم والبطاطس. هذه وحدها ستكون كافية لملء شخص واحد. كانت الفطائر المحشوة باللحم هي المفضلة على المائدة. أرسل المالك كأسين من مشروبات الفاكهة لأخذ عينات منها. أحدهما كان عصير فراولة بنكهة ناعمة ناعمة. الثاني فاجأنا. كان هذا المنتج نتيجة غلي التمر ، والخوخ ، والمشمش ، ومجموعة من الفواكه المجففة الأخرى مع السكر والماء لمدة يوم واحد ثم تبريدها. من المفترض أن تساعد في تهدئة بطن المرء بعد تناول وجبة مليئة بالنكهة ، وكانت النكهة حلوة ولاذعة. لقد كان طعمًا لاكتسابه ، لكنه عرض رائع من المالك ويجب على أي شخص تجربته. كما هو مذكور في البداية ، فإن المكان صغير ، مع مقاعد محدودة ، لكنهم يفعلون ذلك. أود أن أقترح النهوض والنهوض من كرسيك وتناول هذا الطهي لأنه يغادر الفرن أو قدر الصلصة. المطعم يقبل بطاقات الائتمان والنقد. كما أنها توفر أطباق وأواني فضية حقيقية للأكل بدلاً من البلاستيك أو الستايروفوم. إنه مصمم بشكل جذاب بالعديد من التماثيل والتشوتشكس الروسية الممتعة والأعمال الفنية وتلفزيون يسلط الضوء على آخر الأخبار الروسية. يوجد موقف سيارات في المنطقة ، يعتمد فقط على الوقت من اليوم الذي تتواجد فيه هناك سواء كنت ستجد أماكن أو أماكن. لا يهم ، هذا هو المكان الذي تريد الذهاب إليه ... كلما كان ذلك أسرع ، كان ذلك أفضل! هل svidaniya .... (التعليق الأصلي) Da, da, da, was all I could say when stumbling upon the Russian Kitchen House Cafeteria! Tucked away in the fabric and upholstery souq section of Abu Dhabi, this tiny, five table restaurant struck all the right chords during our first visit. It was late afternoon when my wife, her mother, visiting from the US, and I stopped by to just get a few light bites. We were warmly greeted by the cheery, rosy-cheeked owner and chef and quickly shown to a table. The menu we were given read like a recipe box from grandma. A wide assortment of homey, feel-good, comfort food from all parts of Russia. We started off by ordering a plate of dumplings filled with deliciously tart cabbage and some with creamy potatoes. We had a large bowl of pickled cucumbers. These were not pickles, but actual pickled slice cucumbers, crisp to the bite. That dish lasted only a couple of minutes. Next up was the cabbage rolls. Tak khorosho! So good! The broth the rolls were soaking in made for a wonderful soup after the rolls were devoured. The cabbage rolls were delicate, perfectly seasoned, oh so yummy. Our next item was the Chicken Kiev. I am used to getting this dish and the chicken is usually dry and favorless. Not today! We were told that the dish would take about 25 minutes to prepare and it was worth the wait. A browned, crispy breadcrumb outer layer held together a moist, tender piece of tenderized chicken and cheese center that melted in your mouth. Our final sampler was a traditional dish of baked breads (pies) with meat and potatoes. These alone would be enough to fill one person up. Golden brown and piping hot, the meat filled pies were the table favorite. The owner sent out two glasses of fruit drinks for us to sample. One was a strawberry juice which had a soft mellow flavor. The second one caught us by surprise. This one was the after-product of simmering down dates, prunes, apricots, and a host f other dried fruits with sugar and water for a day and then chilling it. Meant to help in settling one's belly after a filling meal, the flavor was sweet and pungent. It was a taste to acquire, but a delightful offering from the owner and one that anyone should try. As noted in the beginning, the spot is tiny, with limited seating, but they do deliver. I would suggest getting up and out of your chair and eat this cooking as it leaves the oven or sauce pan. The restaurant does accept credit cards and cash. It also provides real silverware and plates to eat off instead of plastic or Styrofoam. It is quaintly decorated with numerous fun Russian figurines and tchotchkes, art work and a TV highlighting the latest in Russian news. There is parking in the area, it will just depend on the time of the day you are there whether you will find and spots. No mater, this is a place you want to go to... the sooner, the better! Do svidaniya....

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) مطبخ روسي ممتاز. موظفون لطفاء. كان العشاء لـ 5 أشخاص جاهزًا في 90 دقيقة مع التوصيل المجاني إلى المنزل. تم تقديم الفطائر لـ 5 أشخاص كهدية. شكرا لك. لم يفهم أي من أصدقائي أنني لم أطبخها. (التعليق الأصلي) Excellent Russian cuisine. Friendly staff. Dinner for 5 was ready in 90 minutes with free home delivery. Pancakes for 5 people were given as a gift. Thank you. None of my friends understood that it was not cooked by me.
