This place is so cute and the food was so good. We went with friends and ate family style so we could try a lot of different... dishes. We started with the Kompot fruit drink it was great. Not to sweet and great with asl the dishes we ate. We got thesalmon draniki, lamb pelmeni, potato vareniki, and sauerkraut vareniki to start. The lamb was my favorite but the sauerkraut wasa close second. The hot buterbrods was next and the house made bread was so soft and good. The golubtzy was after that and wasamazing. We finished off the meal with a few deserts: honey cake (so yummy), syrniki and a banana & Nutella blinchiki. They wereall good. The blinchiki was very sweet with the Nutella just in case you don’t have a big sweet tooth. The service was greatand the restaurant is decorated so cute. Will definitely be back. Read more

First time eating Russian food, and it was quite good. The taste was more focused on what was in the dish rather than trying to... change it with flavors which was nice. Every dish we had was definitely great, and I'd recommend it based on my firstexperience. Read more

Adding this to one of me new favorites in the area. First time at Babushka's, I wanted to try this place for a long time and it... did not disappoint! I'm salivating as I'm writing this review and I can't wait to go back. Their staff was amazing and for ourgroup in without a reservation, so thankful for that! They patiently explained all options and helped one of our friends who islactose intolerant with info and suggestions. We shared our dishes and everyone loved everything. It seems like everyone decidedthat #1 winner was meat blinchiki, thin crepes stuffed with meat, so delish! Next close winner was pan fried Siberian Pelmeni(pork and beef dumplings), so good! All of us also got Draniki (potato pancakes with mushroomand cheese mix). Those were goodtoo, I would like to try them plain next time. As far as dessert goes, it was all amazing. Cherry pierogies were heavenly! Honeycake and Napoleon were so fresh, creamy, and delicious! So yourself a favor, find a group of friends you want to share thisexperience with and go share all these things were. Great Russian decor too. Read more

We surprised my husband for his birthday and all the kids showed up! He's all about trying new things. He made a list of places... he would like to try and this was his number 1. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and staff. There were 10 of us and this is asmaller place but they figured it out. It was a Thursday and they were packed and had wait times still. We made a reservationwhich probably helped. I feel like between us all we tried everything. Some good, some I didn't care for. The lamb I usuallylike, but didn't care for it here. However I'm pretty picky. Bc a few of our party enjoyed everything. It says in their menuthey are not fast food so expect to wait some. Which we did but even with them being a full house and us ordering a ton of food,it all came out at a decent time. And well worth it!! We even tipped the cooks! This is a must try place. Sorry not a lot ofphotos. We placed our phones in boxes on the table so we could spend quality time together. Read more

It’s my first time trying Russian food and am glad I picked this sweet little spot. Staff here are amazing.Food is good.If... you are trying Russian food for the first time,keep an open mind and try some of their most recommended dishes. We enjoyed ourdinner on a Friday night here and would recommend this place for anyone who wants to try Russian food. Try making a reservationin advance as the space is limited in the restaurant.

Stopped here this afternoon and absolutely loved the experience. The decor was so cute and so fitting for the restaurant. It has... this cottage-y/forest theme with a forest wallpaper and flowers all over for decor which makes for a very pleasant diningexperience. It was also very clean which definitely matters, especially now. Most importantly, the food here is so amazing. Ilove that they have authentic recipes coupled with descriptions/history (which is a bonus) on their menu so newbies understandwhere the food comes from. Overall, I'll definitely come here much more in the future. Read more
