"Borscht is warm. Borscht is comforting. Borscht is also fun when you’re at Anelya. This Ukrainian spot in Avondale is exciting before you even take a seat. Servers zip around with sparkling zakusky carts full of appetizers. Upbeat electronic music hums in the background while flower-like lamps give the dining room a trippy colorful glow. Once you’re ready to order, servers hype up the menu like they’re narrating a sizzle reel full of haluski and kovbasa. Everything is delicious—from the aforementioned beet soup with poached pears and duck to creamy varenyky stuffed with sour cherry and ricotta." - team infatuation
