(Translated by Google) A cozy shop with delicious dishes. The kitchen is authentic Russian. The server was very friendly. We had a lot of fun and were served reasonably well. Definitely an insider tip for those who like to walk past nondescript pubs instead of entering. (Original) Ein gemütlicher Laden mit leckeren Gerichten. Die Küche ist authentisch russisch. Der Kellner war sehr freundlich. Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß und wurden zugleich vernünftig bewirtet. Auf jeden Fall ein Geheimtipp für diejenigen, die an unscheinbaren Lokalen gerne vorbeilaufen, statt einzutreten.

First - I would give 4.5 stars instead of 5 :) We tried pancakes with salmon, shaslyk (grilled meat and vegetables), vareniki with potato and traditional Borsch soup. I am giving -0.5 starts because of the soup: there was no meat inside and probably not much meat broth (if any), so it was a bit plain and tasteless. But other dishes were delicious. And perfect end for the dinner is a Napoleon cake 🍰 Thanks for your hospitality, it was lovely and tasty!

Food, atmosphere, déco were just perfect. Waitress very kind. Music was good selected. I would definitely pick the spot often if it wasn't so pricey. Nevertheless it is very good recommendation. Also it sits on a good part of the city that can offer you nightlife and the river to walk along. Kitchen is typical and serving good and well decorated dishes. Wine was just not on my taste rage, too sweet for me.

Odessa is Ukrainian city and kitchen is Russian.

(Translated by Google) The name of this restaurant is more sheen than being. Food a bit overpriced, the ambience is more like a rustic German pub, there are problems with hygiene. If you want to eat Russian-Ukrainian food, you should go to the restaurants "Saint Petersburg" or "Sochi" (Cologne), or "Samowar" or "Grüne Lampe" (Berlin). (Original) Der Name dieses Restaurants ist mehr Schein als Sein. Essen etwas überteuert, das Ambiente passt eher zu einer rustikalen deutschen Kneipe, es gibt Probleme mit Hygiene. Wenn russisch-ukrainisch essen gehen, dann lieber in die Restaurants "Sankt Petersburg" oder "Sotschi" (Köln), oder in "Samowar" oder "Grüne Lampe (Berlin).

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food tastes fantastic and looks wonderfully playful. I am full, but I just want to keep eating! Already from the spread before the actual meal one could eat, ... (Original) Dieses Restaurant ist eine versteckte Perle! Das Essen schmeckt fantastisch und sieht herrlich verspielt aus. Ich bin zwar satt, will aber einfach weiter essen! Schon vom Brotaufstrich vor der eigentlichen Mahlzeit könnte man sich sattessen,...

A very lovely and cozy restaurant. The stuff was very friendly as well. I enjoyed my salmon dumplings a lot

Very good place! Good atmosphere, great food, pleased service! Recommend to visit not for only Ukrainians, But also for any German and city visitors

Incredibly delicious food, very tasty and fresh! Really amazing. Definitely worth a visit if you like Eastern European food. We had pickled vegetables, blini with salmon, chicken kijiew and Schaschlik as well as an extremely yummy piece of Napoleon cake.

Food is tasty with good appearance, one can see it is a chef who really cares about the customers. We ordered salmon rolls for predish, Ente with pear for main dish, was really tasty. We found this restaurant from Gutschein book, but we think the price is reasonable. Staff is friendly, we had a great time here, thank you.

(Translated by Google) Extremely friendly service. Quite small restaurant with not many tables. Small selection of dishes. Very tasty for that. Traditional dishes are on the menu. The very low prices for drinks are striking. The restaurant reflects the atmosphere of an Eastern European society. It's worth a visit! (Original) Äußerst freundliche Bedienung. Recht kleines Restaurant mit nicht vielen Tischen. Kleine Auswahl an Speisen. Dafür sehr lecker. Traditionelle Gerichte sind auf der Speisekarte vorhanden. Auffällig die sehr niedrigen Preise für Getränke. Das Restaurant gibt die Atmosphäre einer osteuropäischen Gesellschaft wieder. Ein Besuch lohnt sich!

Service is quite good and the men is nice where. Food also good but could have been better But bliny were not hot and they bring my colleague wrong soup he still liked though.

The service was very very slow. The waiter insisted that we should take an appetizer because it would take some time before the main course was ready. The bread we got served with the appetizer and didn't ask for, was also on the bill. Indeed, it took a long time before we got the main. Unfortunatedly the rabbit was not well done and tasteless. Only the appetizer of our menu was good.

Dishes look beautiful and taste wonderful. Thanks to the kind owner i spent a very good night with my family.

Not only do the food was delicious but also the owner made our experience at the restaurant absolutely remarkable. We got to chat a bit and enjoyed a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) Excellent, Russian-Urainic may not be as well known, but it is highly recommended. Most off all here. (Original) Exzellent, Russisch-Urkainisch mag nicht so bekannt sein, ist aber sehr zu empfehlen. Vor allem hier.

Es ist einfach das wunderschöne Restaurant mit authentischem und unglaublich köstlichem Essen. Borsch schmeckte wie zu Hause, was ein wichtiger Indikator für Geschmack und Qualität ist. Außerdem ist der Service ausgezeichnet, sehr freundlich und aufmerksam! Потрясающее место с аутентичной и невероятно вкусной едой. Борщ был абсолютно таким же вкусным, как дома, а это является важным показателем вкуса и качества. Кроме того, отличное, дружелюбное и внимательное обслуживание! P.S. Отдельное спасибо Юрию за атмосферу и настроение!

(Translated by Google) What is Odessa in a restaurant with the proud name "Odessa"? Unfortunately the same name. The guest is presented with a standard set of dishes of Russian, Ukrainian and partly Caucasian cuisine: borsch, pancakes, dumplings, beef stroganoff, herring under a fur coat, barbecue, etc. Anyone familiar with the traditional cuisine of Odessa and would like to try these dishes, you may be disappointed as there are no such dishes in the restaurant menu. Otherwise, a pleasant place with reasonable prices and friendly service. I do not regret visiting this place, but I’m unlikely to return here again. (Original) Что одесского в ресторане с гордым названием "Одесса"? К сожалению таки одно название. На выбор гостя представлен стандартный набор блюд русской, украинской и отчасти кавказской кухни: борщ, блины, вареники, бифстроганов, сельдь под шубой, шашлык и т.д. Кто знаком с традиционной кухней города Одессы и хотел бы отведать эти блюда, возможно вы будете разочарованы так как в меню ресторана таких блюд нет. В остальном, приятное место с умеренными ценами и доброжелательным обслуживанием. О посещении данного заведения не жалею, но вряд ли вернусь сюда снова.

(Translated by Google) Good food and very nice hospitality from the owner personally !! Many thanks to Mr. Krapivnij ??????? (Original) Gutes Essen und sehr nette Bewirtung vom Inhaber persönlich!! Vielen Dank an Hr. Krapivnij ???????

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful. Quiet and tasty. (Original) Sehr schön. Ruhig und lecker.

The ambience & music is absolutely Russian-Ukraine. The food is very well cooked, especially the wareniki and Chicken Kiev!!! If you're a fan of borsh soup they have an authentic recipe and if Baltika beer imported fr mother Russia. A must-visit for sure

(Translated by Google) Really great! (Original) Total super!

(Translated by Google) Very warm and attentive owner-operated service in a cozy atmosphere. The food tasted great. We will be back. ?? (Original) Sehr herzliche und aufmerksame inhabergeführte Bedienung in gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Das Essen schmeckte grandios. Wir kommen wieder. ??

(Translated by Google) Very tasty, not too big a selection but still sufficient. Suitable for every occasion. Would come back immediately. (Original) Sehr lecker, nicht all zu große Auswahl aber dennoch ausreichend. Für jeden Anlass geeignet. Würde sofort wieder kommen.

(Translated by Google) Nice food, friendly service. We recommend (Original) Gutes Essen, freundlichen Bedienung. Sehr zu empfehlen

(Translated by Google) atmosphere of home peace !!! The dishes are fantastic! Herring under a fur coat is simply indescribable !!! (Original) атмосфера домашнего спокойствия!!! Блюда фантастические ! Сельдь под шубой просто неописуемая !!!

(Translated by Google) We were surprised at first that the restaurant was very empty today (we were early and the only guests). However, I can say that it was definitely not the service or the food. Both were really very good and we enjoyed it very much. The service was discreet but attentive, so that we enjoyed a VIP treatment. The food was pretty tasty too. We had the main dish at shish kebab. Neither quite as good as in e.g. in Russia or Kazakhstan, but really excellent by Cologne standards and much better than many other Russian restaurants. Well deserved 5 stars. We will come back in any case. (Original) Wir waren zuerst überrascht, dass das Restaurant heute sehr leer war (wir waren recht früh und die einzigen Gäste). Allerdings kann ich sagen, dass das definitiv nicht am Service oder Essen lag. Beides war wirklich sehr gut und wir haben es sehr genossen. Die Bedienung war diskret, aber aufmerksam, so dass wir quasi eine VIP Behandlung genossen haben. Auch das Essen war ziemlich lecker. Wir hatten als Hauptspeise bei Schaschlik. Beides nicht ganz so gut, wie in z.B. in Russland oder Kasachstan, aber für Kölner Verhältnisse wirklich ausgezeichnet und deutlich besser als viele andere russische Restaurants. Wohlverdiente 5 Sterne. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant service and atmosphere. (Original) Приятное обслуживание и атмосфера.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant service and very friendly staff! The menu is composed of traditional Ukrainian dishes and home-cooked delicious, but European-style exquisite. We will be happy to come back here again and again. (Original) Приятное обслуживание и очень доброжелательный персонал! Меню составлено из традиционных блюд украинской кухни и приготовленных по-домашнему вкусно, но по-европейски изысканно. С удовольствием вернёмся сюда, ещё и ещё.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and cozy + of course really good food! (Original) Sehr schön und gemütlich + natürlich richtig gutes Essen!

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, very nice service. (Original) Leckeres Essen, gemütliche Atmosphäre, sehr nette Bedienung.

Friendly staff, original menu, great food, in a cozy atmosphere. We will definitely go back :)

The food was excellent! The meat was tender and the vegetarian dishes were delicious. The service was fast and we enjoyed our time there. We will definitely come again!
