"The restaurant is just a separate room in a pub that was very disappointing when I only arrived. It is very very noisy and all the guests from the pub constantly walk through the tables to go to the bathrooms that are just downstairs. The only thing that reminds or Ukrainian culture is table clothes. Food is a fusion of Ukrainian and British but I would say that this is British food with Ukrainian names of the dishes. This is not surprising as the chef is British. The only tasty things were small version of Chicken Kiev’s unusually serving as ginger food. Zrazy made of horrible potato and falling apart, dyruny-made with carrots for some reason, dip fried and also falling apart with dip made of mayonnaise and garlic. Vareniki with wild mushrooms completely burned and the only thing I could taste was bitterness. The worst were Golubzi-made with basmati rice and grey mushroom paste wrapped in salad leaves served without any smetana. This is originally sticky rice wrapped in cabbage that while cooking in sauce made from tomatoes, carrots and onions becomes soft and tender, always served with smetana. Restaurant kindly offers complimentary shot of “Ukrainian nastojanka” that is not worth trying as is made with cheap vodka that is difficult to swallow. The bill for 2 people with a bottle of horrible wine even though it was Malbec) £84. I was very happy that there is finally Ukrainian restaurant in London but was very disappointed in the end. We went to celebrate our anniversary as we have connection to Ukraine and Ukrainian dishes are very rich and tasty, but unfortunately not in this place :"
