"With mismatched paintings and walls scrawled with messages from past diners, this Russian restaurant has the allure of a secret hideaway—if you ignore the crowd waiting patiently on the sidewalk outside. Once you're seated with a Moscow mule in hand, go ahead and order the classics: beef stroganoff, bright pink borscht, and adjaruli, a Georgian bread boat that comes out with a young Russian man who will mix the gooey cheese and egg yolks together in front of you. Bring a Sharpie to add your own graffiti to the wall." - candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, team infatuation

"This playfully-decorated restaurant has a huge menu packed with iconic Russian dishes like beef or vegetable stroganoff and blini. There are also Georgian specialties and dishes common to neighboring countries, like borscht, stuffed cabbage rolls that are slow cooked until incredibly tender, and Olivier potato salad, which mixes bite-sized bits of eggs, green peas, and carrots. Keep an eye on the specials, too."

"Perhaps better known for its Russian fare, dishes with a distinct Middle Eastern bent and flavor profiles include the chicken tabaka Cornish hen with pomegranate molasses, succulent charcoal-roasted meat shaslik skewers, and Babushka’s Surprise baked apple dessert stuffed with fruits, walnuts, and honey." - Keri Bridgwater
