My friend and I came here for the first time by setting a Google reservation. The service was quick, didn't wait at all to be seated. The place is decorated really nicely, very cultural vibes. We started off with appetizers (Borscht & Solyanka) and lemonades (Mango passion fruit & fresh berry). Soups were a good starter to get. They also bring bread with sides which was also really good especially with the garlicky sauce. My friend got chicken plov and I got the ribeye steak with homemade mashed potatoes. The food was flavorful and cooked well (Add salt to the mashed potatoes). For dessert, we did the crème brûlée which was delicious. The restaurant was on the more quieter side with peaceful music, this was around 7:15pm. Very good place but more on the expensive side. I heard that they increased the prices dramatically from before so if you have a tight budget, this is not the place. Meal ended up coming to $165+. Kitchen closes an hour before they close so I wouldn't set later reservations.

Wow! If you haven't visited this restaurant yet, you're missing out! Coming from out of town, we initially heard about this place at a different location, but were pleasantly surprised by the beautifully decorated upscale ambiance here! The eclectic decor added to the charm, and the background live music, featuring a virtuoso maestro playing the violin, elevated the atmosphere to another level. The service was exceptional; our waitress, Liza, was incredibly attentive and professional. As for the food, it was simply outstanding! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and we couldn't get enough! What's even better is that the prices were reasonable, offering incredible value for the upscale experience we received. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. It's a gem that I wish we had something similar to in Michigan.

Food was comforting though the plov was a little bland without the sauce. I like their crispy eggplant and soups. Nice decor.

3rd visit here and not disappointed. It's a very nice restaurant that we hope makes it because it sits in THE GLEN and most restaurants don't survive past a few years. This one is a keeper Just hope enough people get to go here and try it and agree that the menu is pretty good with a nice mix and choice of everything you may like. We will return to try something different next time.

I used to love this restaurant. My friend and I ordered 2 soups and 3 apps to start. The soups came out and were delicious. We waited another 30ish minutes and had to hunt down the server to ask if the rest of our food was coming. He proceed to tell us that we never ordered anything other than soup. We looked at each other very puzzled because we ordered 3 appetizers. He waiter argued with us for about a minute and proceed to tell us the kitchen is closing so we need to order quickly. We ended up ordering the apps and main course. Everything came out at the same time. The food was not good. Other than the Caesar salad (which was delicious) we did not eat anything else. We ended up ordering dessert and hot tea because we weren't ready to leave yet. The desert has absolutely no flavor to it. The waiter noticed we didn't eat it and ended up taking it off the bill. Overall- I feel like the quality of food and service has gone down drastically at this restaurant and I don't think I will be coming back.

One of the most successful Central Asian/Eastern European fusion restaurants in the area. It’s a mix of Central Asian and Eastern European cuisines that will sure delight your taste buds and impress. The restaurant is well located in the Glen and looks stylish with great decor, super clean and is very presentable for any occasions or celebrations - birthdays, anniversaries, friendship lunches or celebration with clients! My personal favourites are their mantys, pilaf and some sort of salad with shishkabab. We always are leaving full and happy and excited to return. Bookings are highly recommended as they are very busy especially during the weekend.
