Four of us went on Saturday night. Fantastic! Great food. Music was different and everybody – all ages from all tables – got up and danced. And all for $120 for the four of us! BYO and no corkage.
Took us awhile to find the place. Signage on Glen Eira Rd is poor. Dark sign on a dark door. But once we got inside all was good. Our table was ready for us with plates of cold meat, pickled cucumbers, smoked salmon and olives all ready for us.
Food just kept coming. Marinated herrings, potato salad, hot potatoes, disk of eggplant and capsicum, disk of mushrooms, more salads, piroshki (Russian meat pastie), pelmeni (yummy dumplings), chicken kiev, garlic prawns, meat skewers, chicken skewers and on it went. Finally finishing with a platter of fresh fruit.
The music was great. Started off with Russian songs from, I think, the 60’s. Then worked up to modern dance music as the night went on. Included a set of Hebrew songs at the request of a large party there for a 70th. Also, ABBA, Rasputin, Sinatra so definitely an eclectic mix! Everybody got up and danced. Toddlers, 20 somethings through to the elderly.
We will definitely go again!
