The menu is a rich tapestry of traditional Russian and Ukrainian dishes, with the iconic borscht (beetroot soup) naturally stealing the show. Served hot with a dollop of sour cream and a side of black bread, the borscht is deeply flavorful, earthy, and comforting-an ideal introduction for first-time visitors.
