DACHA Kitchen & Bar

I love trying different brunch spots around SF and was excited to come to this Eastern European restaurant for their weekend brunch. We weren't feeling super hungry so ended up getting the Mama's Dacha Breakfast and Syrniki Brulee to share which ended up being a great sweet and savory pairing. The Mama's Dacha Breakfast reminded me of shashuka with fried eggs in a herby tomato sauce. Simple but really comforting and yummy. Our server asked if we wanted to add an egg as the dish comes with three eggs and we happily took her up on it. The Syrniki was what we came for and these cottage cheese pancakes lived up to expectations! Loved how firm they are outside but with a creamy center and the sour cream, berry compote, and thick greek yogurt on the side complimented it perfectly. It was a nice, less sweet version of pancakes which is just perfect! Service was great and really friendly. The neighborhood isn't the best but I was surprised by how few people were dining in. Definitely a spot to check out for a unique spin on the typical brunch dishes.

Came here for brunch on a saturday morning. The place was empty just for our party. Upon ordering we started with coffee, syrniki brulee, mama's breakfast, and a piroshki. Probably the weirdest part of the meal was the first coffee cup coming in as dirty. Like all lipstick still on it. This really wasn't a problem except when we ordered a different cup there was a different stain. I get brunch is a busy time and hectic, but the fact that we were the only guests here; was really strange. The coffee is just regular diner coffee, nothing special nonetheless. Syrniki brulee was decent with a good balance of flavor and texture. The piroshki was extremely bland and unseasoned. There was only one ingredient in there and it was meat. Really strange how bland it was. The mama's breakfast was like a shakshuka, except it was basically like tomato soup and nothing else. Just some seasoning is really all it takes.

DACHA Project was founded by friends and co-owners Katya Skye, Suki Skye, Chef Katya Pervushina, and Tanya Ivanovich. They support community with core values of Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dignity, and Empathy. What does Dacha mean? Seasonal or year-round second home centered around family, food, and gathering. Their guiding principle is "Feeding with love. Leading with peace." Indeed they are feeding and it's good. I went with a group to Queer Prom, one of many events hosted by Dacha. The theme was KISMET & KARMA. The event was fun and made possible with various fun vendors. *co-hosts were Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence *Music by U-Mee Dee *Tarot card by Sean Anoie *Fun pottery by Opravlo *Karaoke *Portion of proceeds went to Rainbow Railroad, who helps queer people escape countries where they aren't safe to be themselves. Dinner menu had special cocktails and treats. The food was outstanding. I've tried several entrees and they were beautifully done. Service is warm and welcoming. The eggplant rolls are my absolute favorite appetizer. I've had it twice and I'll be back for more. The salmon plate reinvented salmon for me. It was perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and laid on a colorful puree of beets and maybe carrots. I'm not sure but it was delicious! Suki and Katya, well done! Dacha is a gem.

I'd never had Eastern European food and wanted to try Dacha. My wife ordered a red wine from Slovenia that was our server's favorite. It was a great choice. My wife wanted something light ordered the cup of Schi a vegan soup with root vegetables and fermented cabbage. It hit the spot! I had the Pojarskaya Cutlet...Breaded chicken and turkey cutlet. It was like ground meat shaped like a small burrito that was breaded and baked. As I looked over to the table next to us, I wish I ordered the Pirozhki. Dessert was next and I tried the Pavlova, a white meringue filled with chantilly cream and fresh berries. The cream and fruit was nice but the meringue was too hard to cut with a fork to eat. It was more like rock candy. Our server was very helpful and friendly. We loved the interior design as it made us feel like we were dining in a restaurant in the middle of a forest.

Dacha was an experience- not just dinner. We sat in the tea room and felt like we were VIP. We could hear each other, we're not rushed and the waitress took time sharing details about the menu items. Loved the eggplant rolls. Full of flavor and very hearty for a vegan dish.

First time exploring Russian cuisine. Very impressed with the menu selection, beverage list, service, and flavors of the foods. The place was bustling on a weeknight for dinner, the noise level high, the parking non-existent. Consider walking or taking Lyft here. I had the salmon, Slavic stew, and an apple pie for dessert. No, the apple pie didn't resemble what you'd see at Denny's. It was more of an apple cake in consistency, and tasted very good.

Came here searching for a restaurant though InKind. With solid high reviews on Yelp and Google, I decided to come for brunch. Dacha did not disappoint. The Rooibos tea was the best I've had in a long time. The Slavic Stew was an interesting and delicious blend of ingredients. The Syrniki is as amazing as it looks with absolutely perfect balance of sweetness and textures. The Egg & Spring Onion Piroshki was surprisingly light and easy to eat though it did not shine as brightly as the other dishes. The space is clean and modern yet welcoming. This also applies to the restrooms which are large and have enormous sinks. No bumping hands against the sink getting under the water. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. Looking over the dinner menu, I absolutely plan to return. I would not only like to try the various dishes but also the many cocktails, mocktails, and lemonades that all sound amazing! For the most accurate info on the menu and prices, go to their website. There's also great information about the team behind the restaurant.

Oh my goodness! I can't say enough great things about Dacha, and the best compliment I can give is this tasted like home. My friend and I came here on a Sunday morning and I just wanted to order absolutely everything on the menu, but as there were only two of us, I settled on a few things: *Eggs with sausage - this tasted and reminded me of how my dad makes eggs! *Piroshki - we got the one with beef and it was so good! It was nice and seasoned and the right level of moist on the inside. *Blini (crepes) with caviar and sour cream - great crepes and so much delicious caviar! Perfection. One of my pet peeves when ordering caviar at restaurants is it's usually twenty bucks for a few grains, and this was a nice amount. *Brulee syrniki - this is one of my absolute favorite things in the world, and these were as good as what I make at home! Nice and creamy in the middle and bruleed on the outside (I'll have to try that at home!) These were absolute perfection with sour cream and berry compote. I also got the Sapphire drink, which was so amazingly good (they had me at black currant) and my friend got the Mourning Cloak, which was also delicious. The service was lovely and perfectly attentive and I just loved the atmosphere of the place. I would highly recommend for anyone who knows or likes or wants to try Eastern European food, and I absolutely can't wait to come back! Really, I can't say enough great things. This just tasted like home.

I've wanted to try Dacha ever since they opened, and now that I've tried, I'm hooked! I went on a Saturday evening as a solo diner and was happy to see they had plenty of small tables. I ordered the Eggplant Rolls, Shuba Salad, and Pavlova. Each dish was beautifully executed & tasted delicious. The Shuba salad was bigger than I expected, which was great, because I feel like I always need more food to feel full. I really loved the Pomegranate "Caviar" (?) on Eggplant Rolls, and the pavlova was to die for!!! The filling was perfection!! If you're intrigued, try it NOW because they told me their menu is going to change again starting in March. I used to walk past the restaurant all the time - I'm so glad that they seem to have a bigger crowd these days. I was very glad to see that place was busy! Writing this to make sure we keep spreading the word about this fabulous food.

Dacha Kitchen & Bar, is an excellent spot offering unique European cuisine. I absolutely loved the concept because I felt like I was eating something truly different, healthy, and delicious! The fusion of unique flavors was unlike anything I had ever tried before. For starters, we ordered stuffed eggplants topped with molecular pomegranate caviar which gives a sweet pop to the dish, was so delicious that I even wanted to order another portion. For the main course, we had the chicken skewers and the beef in red wine sauce. Both dishes were so tender that they melted in my mouth. The service from everyone working there was outstanding, and the space is both cozy and beautiful. I highly recommend ending your visit with the pavlova, which was super crispy and bursting with exquisite flavor. Investigating a little, discovered that this exquisite bussines its managed and owned by all women. Thank you, Dacha team

I walked in and immediately loved the atmosphere. The hostess was super nice. She showed me to my table. My server came over promptly and helped me decide on some items to order. I tried the egg peroshki, the vegetable soup, and the fried chicken cutlet with carrot purée. I originally ordered the stew. The server told me they could eliminate the pork because it was just bacon the sprinkled on top and I don't eat pork. I was on the phone and wondering why the food was taking so long to come out. When I got off she mentioned she did not want to interrupt my call but the stew does have pork that cannot be removed so she asked if I wanted the vegetable soup instead. Sure why the heck not but then right after that the chicken (Main course) arrived at my table, the purée was cold and the chicken was good, crispy, hot. Not amazing but good. Then the soup arrived the the peroshki. Odd sequence of dishes to hit the table but who cares. It all goes to the same place. I was super full. The soup was hearty and good as well and the peroshki was good. Nothing knocked my socks off but also no complaints and would probably return to try some other dishes.

I love the food here! I love the schi soup and crepes. Dinner is also really good too! The service is very good. The ambiance is perfect for a date (even a solo one;), brunch, or dinner! The restrooms are clean. They also have non alcoholic options for drinks :)

We had SUCH a wonderful experience dining at Dacha! The atmosphere was so cute, it looked like an eclectic enchanted forest. Our waitress Anya was the sweetest person ever, and was very helpful making menu suggestions. We ordered the "secret cocktails" and were pleasantly surprised with two of the best cocktails we've ever had. The food was incredible. We ordered an egg piroshki, been piroshki, the pickle platter, golobci, and mushroom and potato plate. Everything was outstanding. I will definitely make this a regular stop when I visit SF

A nice place to dine out, we had a good time. The food came in a timely manner. Got the eggplant roll appetizer to share and it was a lil bitter to my taste from the walnuts or something but it was interesting to try. My goulush came out well, the meat cooked in the stew was rich. The potatoes with mushrooms was also not bad, it just tasted stir fried in pepper and it tasted bit bland to me. The service was fast and they were very attentive. I'm not sure the food is to my tasting but it was a pleasant experience.

Me and my friend came last night to celebrate her birthday and we were absolutely fascinated by the experience. Every single thing from start to finish was impeccable. Service - attentive, but not intrusive, just the way we like - thank you Anya and Sasha! Fantastic food brought so many memories from when I spent my childhood in Russia. I had a feeling, however that the menu could be slightly extended by other Eastern European staple dishes, but I could see it being difficult since not everyone is willing to experiment with things they've never tried before, like salad with herring. Can't wait to be back!

The staff is the star, Katia the co-owner, Trinidad the host and Alessia the waitress were warm, hospitable and welcoming. We shared the pancakes and they were fluffy, not too sweet with the best jam. Wish the zucchini pancakes were a little crispier with a bit more toppings. Can't wait to return to try their cocktails and dinner menu. The Space is thoughtfully designed. The drip coffee is dark and robust. Would be nice if there were more savory protein choices on the menu.

Dacha Kitchen nailed it. The syrniki brûlée was unforgettable -- crispy, creamy, and perfectly caramelized. Cocktails were well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Great vibe and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back.

One of the best meals I've had in San Francisco in a long time (and I dine out in city around 3 times per week). The service was impeccable, and the drinks were excellent too. Can't wait to return!

We came to Dacha for brunch and were blown away! Everything was absolutely delicious -- the Syrniki were melting in my mouth so so good, and the beef piroshki were so flavorful. Their cocktails were also incredible, super well-balanced and unique. Can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu. Such a gem!

Having a Global Affairs dinner with the International Volunteers and Nomads group in San Francisco representing countries in Western and Eastern Europe, South Asia, and East Asia. Then there is me the only US born at the table in the group and native San Franciscan but also representing the Latin American side of things breaking bread at the Eastern European restaurant Dacha discussing world affairs over food and drinks. One menu item brought back memories of old San Francisco was the piroshki. In San Francisco you could find the piroshki at the local corner liquor stores throughout most San Francisco neighborhoods. This microwaved popular San Francisco delicacy was pretty doughy had meat and cheese but good when washed down with a cold beverage. I usually ate my piroshki during lunchtime (open campus) in high school and usually across the street at Dolores Park or some unsolicited stairs around the high school. The piroshki at Dacha is different and it's baked and it has no cheese and it came with mushroom. The mushroom piroshki I had was different but better than the corner store piroshki I remembered. The savory mushroom piroshki was savory delicious. I also had to try the meat piroshki but the mushroom was a bit better. The other item I found very tasty was the Pojarskaya Cutlet .The breaded chicken cutlet with some bread crumb texture to it and topped with a butter and mushroom sauce. Come to Dacha Kitchen & Bar in San Francisco with a great menu so pick and choose Eastern European cuisine from Moldova to Belarus

Great restaurant amazing food decent portions and friendly staff , will definitely return. Don't miss the special bread, can't remember the name but it's like rye.

Kitchen open till 10! Amazing. Came on a Thursday night for a casual bite with a friend and was pleasantly surprised with the unexpected lively atmosphere and multi room layout. Spoke with the owners of the restaurant who explained the meaning of the word "Dacha" and their intention to create a space that felt like home, which I feel they nailed by having the tea room, main dining floor and back room. They ladies were so welcoming and friendly and it was nice to see business owners in the floor engaging with customers. The food was also so unique and delicious and beautifully presented. Will definitely be coming back

My friends ordered catering from DACHA for their wedding anniversary, and we were so blown away by the food and service that we decided to come to the restaurant for a friends gathering and wow, we're so glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious, and the care the staff showed to each guest really stood out! They're currently updating their menu, and it was so cool that they asked us what we thought of the new dishes and if we had any feedback. That kind of personal touch is rare, and honestly, it made us feel really special. The new stroganoff? Incredible. That's the kind of dish you come back for. My friends and I are all from different Eastern European countries -- Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, Hungary, Russia, and we were amazed to find dishes from each of our cultures on the menu. It's such a thoughtful and unique concept. I've never experienced anything like it before! And the cocktails... wow. Hands down the most creative and well-thought-out cocktail menu I've seen in San Francisco.

Beautiful space with carefully prepared and flavorful Eastern European food. We enjoyed the zucchini rolls - the cottage cheese filling was unexpected but satisfying - and the tempura zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese mousse were crisp and not too heavy. The mushroom-filled piroshka was just the right size for us to each have a hearty bite and the chicken liver mousse, served with a cognac sauce and dear little toasts, rounded out our appetizers. For our mains, I enjoyed the pork chop - one of the best ones I've had in a long while - and my partner had the goulash, which was hearty and comforting. Our dessert was the pavlova - the meringue was light and airy and the chantilly cream was dense and fulfilling, dotted with fresh berries. The service was attentive and kind, with lots of good recommendations, and we felt very welcome.

Called to make a reservation 20 mins before 11am on Sunday for 2. They were able to accommodate! When I arrived, I realized this place used to be Miller's Rest. This restaurant is super pretty. Love how it's decorated with wood and brick. Service was really great! They paid close attention to our needs and were very welcoming. You can tell they love working there. The Brunch menu was simple, which made making a decision easier. All of the dishes sounded amazing so we wanted to try: Latkes with red caviar, pickles & sour cream: Well seasoned. Perfect portion size. The caviar added a perfect hint of salt. Zucchini fritters with garlic sour cream: The sauce was amazing. Fried eggs with sausage (we each had our own plate): Protein heavy plate with sunny side up fried eggs, tomato, mini sausages and bread on the side. Bloody mary: not spicy and not that strong, but still tasty! We shared all of these dishes and it was the perfect amount for two hungry people. Would come back again!

To my knowledge there aren't that many places in SF with Eastern European food, and I had heard from a friend this spot was good so I went to check it out. The restaurant was pretty and vibe-y for dinner with a DJ playing and low-lit ambiance. Looks like they do drag brunches here which would be fun! We ordered the zucchini rolls, beef piroshki, lapsha soup, borscht, pork chop, and chicken cutlet. I'd probably pass on the piroshki next time, but everything else was so good. I mean the chicken cutlet is stuffed with butter so how can you go wrong? The soups warmed the soul. The service was also prompt and really friendly.

Came here for a birthday celebration with a large group (10+). None of us were particularly well versed in Eastern European cuisine so we arrived in with an open mind, and DACHA far exceeded my expectations. Their space was warm, beautiful, cozy, classy with medium noise level on a Friday evening. Their cocktails were lovely and food was excellent; my personal favorites dishes were the eggplant rolls, piroshki, and the pojarskaya cutlet. I didn't think breaded chicken could rock my world... but this one did. To help us celebrate, the staff also gifted us a tray of ~10 different uniquely flavored shots, including Parmesan, garlic, black pepper, and various fruits. Our group had such a hoot trying these out! One of my more memorable dinners in SF for sure. Would highly recommend for birthday celebrations, date nights, and more!

Simply the best place in SF! Coming here every time I am in town interior is beautiful, service is amazing

Food is not good.piroshki that I paid $8 each tasted like 2 days old...lapsha soup is so so.Eggplant rolls so so. Oh and I had to wait like 15 min until the waiter came to take the order..so disrespectful. I do not recommend If you want to try Russian or Ukrainian food just do it somewhere else not to be disappointed.

Great deserts and food , Pirojki with cabbage was great . Atmosphere is relaxing . The menu isn't that big but you can definitely find lots from to choose from. Try their Pavlova , it's amazing Will come back again

Do not come here as a solo diner. To make it worse it's International women's month (which they have a special menu for) and as a single woman looking for a nice dinner, who had a reservation, I was told they were "too booked" and that I could only sit at the bar. When I pointed to an open table, he looked at me strangely. I was there to enjoy a nice meal, and being told I could only sit at the bar when I'm there to have an entire meal, is extremely insulting. I see no sign of this being a woman owned establishment, this was a bizarre experience. This really put a damper on my trip, I don't understand why they did this, I was dressed nicely. I'm also Eastern European so I was excited to come here. Like I said I made a reservation, why wasn't I treated like the other diners?

My partner and I live in Oakland but are on year two of an annual tradition of picking a hotel in SF and enjoying a night out wherever we find ourselves. Dacha is a three minute walk from where we stayed and oh my goddess what an amazing find it was! Starting from the drinks (the Sapphire was so yum) to the Pavlova and surprise house liqueur our server presented us with, we were taken such good care of. The Shuba salad and the Pojarskaya cutlet were my favorites. Such richness of flavor and beautiful combinations of fresh foods. We can't wait to go back! The fact that it's queer women-owned (didn't know this til I did a little online reading afterwards) is icing on the cake.

Hey San Francisco, you're sleeping on this restaurant if it's not one of your new favorites! Such a wonderful vibe, welcoming, great story, and the food and cocktails are so innovative and delicious. I don't live in San Francisco, but if I did, I would definitely become a regular at this restaurant. Wish they had such a unique and delightful restaurant in my neck of the woods, so don't take it for granted! Service was great, with the server providing good recommendations that turned out to be spot on. I have been for dinner and brunch now and have not been disappointed. I highly recommend!!

Came here for a quick drink before other plans in the city on a Friday around 6-ish. It was not busy and service was nice/quick as we asked to close out ASAP since we were in a bit of a rush. I really like the moody lighting & classy vibe of the interior. The cocktails were DELICIOUS! The gatekeeper was light, citrusy, and easy to drink. I don't typically like mezcal but I tried my husband's Monarch and was pleasantly surprised! I'd never tried European/Russian food but the piroshki was pretty good. I would definitely come back to try a meal for dinner or brunch when I find myself in SF again.

One of the best restaurants to hit San Francisco! I have dined here twice (girls night and on Valentine's Day) and loved my experience both times. My mom will be attending on 3/10 for their Georgian night and I'm so excited for her! My first time dining here was for their Borscht night and I left the place saying, "this borscht is better than my mom's!" My mom makes incredible Russian/Ukrainian food and the fact that Dacha's borscht is better than my mom's says a lot! Don't expect all of the food to be traditional Russian/Ukrainian food, which is fine for me. Expect Russian/Ukrainian food with an American twist to each dish. You must try their piroshki's and their draniki. All desserts are incredible! The pavlova cake is my favorite. Drinks are really good too! Big shout out to the owners. You ladies are amazing! As a small business owner, I know how hard it is to please each and every client so big kudos to you both. Thanks for paying extra attention to my husband's lactose allergy! I can't wait to be back. I may just bring my babies to try the amazing food (and hopefully not destroy the restaurant)!

Food is amazing, the menu is limited, but tasty! I order soup "solyanka", "shuba" salad and pirozhok with meat. Everything was like homemade but in restaurant presentation. Pricy! But is general worth it! Amazing cocktails. Bartender is ready to make you your own cocktail by request. We celebrated anniversary and we got complimentary shots from the restaurant. Service is great!

Great place for Russian food; so far, it's the best in San Francisco for me. They have a nice atmosphere; pretty modern and beautiful place in this area. The service was excellent; all staff were very friendly and nice. The food was delicious: the borsch was very rich, the pirozhki were well-stuffed, and the Zrazhy were so delicious. I'm definitely coming back to try more and enjoy their nastoika.

Such a beautiful restaurant for brunch! Brunch menu was tight and neat, not full of unnecessary dishes. The earl grey tea alcohol was a definition of party tea time! Think Aperol spritz tea, mmmmmm. The 3 dishes we got were all flavorful, fresh, and unique. Service was great! Waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive.

I've been reading to write this review for months now, but totally forgot and thought that I wrote it already. I went to Dacha for my birthday dinner and it was lovely! They have done a wonderful job with the decor and the environment and the vibes, and the food was absolutely delicious too. We started with Cocktails and then moved onto a bottle of wine which was served in ice and so chilled and crisp. We then met the owners after dinner and they gave us a little tour of the space, and wow, were we impressed! There are two private rooms where you can book, private events, and The greater restaurant itself is actually very large. The bar was also beautifully designed and I had to stop myself from sitting there for my meal because it was so illuminating and gorgeous. I will definitely be back!

The interior and atmosphere are warm and inviting, creating a cozy space to relax. Service was excellent -- attentive and friendly. The food overall was good; however, the pirozhki were a bit on the dry side. I'd recommend ordering them with sour cream or a dipping sauce. I also really appreciated the mocktail options -- a thoughtful touch for non-drinkers.

The food tasted amazing and authentic. I loved it! The service was great too! They play club like music which is similar to some places in Eastern Europe.

Cozy. That's the overall impression. From the warm greeting at the door to the earthy mushroom soup. Dascha is a sepia tinged comforting dining experience. The chicken liver pate with poached pears was as decadent & silky as it sounds. Beet Carpaccio was bright with a lovely crunch from the thick slices of pickles. Couldn't even attempt the dessert....so we brought it home. Apple Pie with frozen yogurt. Noise level was perfect for quiet conversation. Lighting just bright enough to read. Service was friendly & efficient. Will come back because I have to try the goulash.

The restaurant is very expensive. The size of the dishes is small, alcoholic drinks are also very expensive. The waiters try to offer alcoholic drinks at very high prices.

Was here for brunch with my fiancé, loved the decoration, looks amazing. Polite waiter, pleasant atmosphere and, most importantly, delicious dishes. Definitely recommend!

Been there many times, it's a favorite neighborhood spot. The food is great, and the drinks are even better.

Do not sleep on DACHA! The walnut stuffed eggplant rolls were delicious, the fried potatoes and mushrooms were crispy and herby. The honey cake was delicate. Enjoyed the sea buckthorn tea which is pretty hard to find - seriously the last time I had it was when I was in Central Asia! We came for dinner so the vibes were fun with music in the background and the service was attentive.

Scrumptious food and lovely atmosphere. We were fortunate enough to host our group in their private event room and had a wonderful time. Everyone we met on staff was warm and inviting. 10 out of 10 would repeat our visit here again.

We love this place. Excellent unique food and services. I love latkes with caviar. Olesia is the best. We also tried syrniki.

Wonderful restaurant! Excellent service, delicious food, and a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed Olivier salad, potatoes with mushrooms, and an amazing Pavlova dessert, perfectly paired with sea buckthorn tea. Everything was absolutely top-notch - I'm very satisfied! Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Russian cuisine.
