"We went there I believe on Christmas day, and returned on January 15 to try the deli. We started with chicken liver pate spread on toasted brioche. Th pate is extremely smooth and creamy, one of the best I tasted, even if slightly sweet. I bought more during our trip to the deli, and will try the goose pate later. At the start of our dinner, I ordered a Fairytale Blossom cocktail, smooth Russian vodka, shaved ice and elderflower which was smooth with delicate flavors. I tend to dislike cocktails in general as tastes and sweetness tend to be overpowering but this is exceptional. I had in mind to order chicken Kyiv but changed it to Pelmeni, mine with beef and pork with a brothy sauce drizzled over them and surrounded by sour cream garnished with sprouts. Warm dumplings and cool cream. A very interesting combination of flavors and textures which, taken in combination with the Fairytale Blossom, bring up thoughts of wintry hikes. My wife had the rack of lamb, ordered medium rare. It is lightly seared and fatty bits were removed by the Chef. I have had poor experiences with lamb meat in the past, but this tasted great, the meat almost melting in your mouth. I also tried an Estonian beer which proved very satisfying, with light fruit tones but not sweet. The service is prompt and attentive and thankfully knowledgeable as I was unfamiliar with much of the menu. As for the food, Babushka is blessed with a Chef with a capital C."

Food was fantastic but waitress was young and extremely inattentive. Service was extremely slow but I think it was just due to her inexperience because we have eaten there before and found the meal to be more appropriately paced. Would definitely go back as it is a lovely place great for conversation with friends. View menu

Six of us enjoyed a lovely time at Babushka. This was a return visit for two of us and a new experience for the rest. Everything as always was great. Starters included the borscht, salads and Palmeni all of which were great hits. Entree’s of stroganoff, stuffed cabbage, pierogi’s and chicken were all excellent. We did save room for some of their amazing homemade cookies which are not to be missed as well as whatever special they might have. Really wonderful family feel and service it is truly a unique and special place in a city of a lot of cookie cutter dining options.

I highly recommend Babushka for takeout, dinner, and catering. I've been a customer for a long time and I loved them. Recently we chose them to cater a wedding and it exceeded all our expectations. Varvara crafted a great menu that fit our budget andconsidered the preferences of all our guests, including people who weren't used to Ukrainian and Middle Eastern cuisine, andeveryone adored it. Everything was prepared, delivered and served on time and beautifully. The pelmeni (chicken dumplings) was ahit, the plov was exquisite, and our vegetarians loved the eggplant caviar. Many thanks to the Chef for the amazing experience.
