    Great food, great service, cozy environment, authentic Ukrainian food :) They have the best borscht, the best pelmeni and the best pierogies in Waterloo-Kitchener area! Everything on the menu is top notch!!! Teremok is one of my favorite places in KW. Visiting and eating there always feels like home :)

    Tasty homemade food! You can dine in, take out frozen dumplings, perogies and soup or take them cooked and ready to be eaten. I like getting frozen cherry and potatoes perogies (10$ a portion) and crepes with meat.

    We stopped in for lunch. The Teremok Cafe place has such an incredible atmosphere and vibe! Small and simple location, just about 8 tables. All the food was homemade and very tasty. Delicious (hearty!) borscht soup with large chunks of real meat. But the pelmeni (meat dumplings) were the standout. I love pelmeni and it's not that simple to find good ones in the KW region (with a good proportion of meat and dough, nice flavor, and fresh). Galina makes the best traditional pelmeni I tried in Waterloo. Juicy and flavorful! The choice of flavors will satisfy everyone. Seriously delicious and good value for money as well. I couldn't get enough of this fabulous dish. Try them! The BLT sandwich with Havarti had a generous amount of cheese, 3 or 4 thick, crispy slices of bacon, and a nice slice of tomato. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere (music, chat, decor) was incredibly comfortable. I fully recommend this place :)

    We visited Teremok Cafe for lunch and got amazing authentic and yummy food! We each ordered Borstch which was delicious. We also got an order of Pelmeni and potato and cheddar perogies. Both were amazing! They also have frozen authentic soups to take home and we got the mushroom and rice, cabbage roll soup and rassolnik. Will be going back again! The owners were so welcoming and friendly.

    Went for a breakfast date with my wife and chose Teremok Cafe. Galina is a super host - a very soft spoken person. Loved the ambience of this place...was quite cozy. Ordered Borsch (soup), Perogi and crepe. Borsch was a standout (its made by Galina / family everyday). Have tried Perogi at multiple places, but it was best here (again made by Galina & family). Thank you Galina for hosting us. Definitely recommend to others.

    This was my first time trying borscht and traditional pierogies! And it was amazing!! Definitely coming back. The space has a lovely cosy-warm vibe and the food is amazing. :)

    Such a lovely shop and amazing food. We bought soups home for our daughter and she inhales them. She loves their food so much! All homemade and made with love clearly. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Rose S. 8 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend the borscht. Cherry pierogies are also a favourite. I buy in bulk, frozen, and take them home with me, but I have eaten in before and it's just as tasty. Cafe itself is a little quiet and a tad run down which doesn't make it feel very cozy for staying and enjoying a meal, but the lady who owns it is lovely.

    I was there yesterday and got potato and cheddar perogies and an apple strudel for a treat. Super tastey all around and fantastic service. I was surprised by how tastey the strudel was in particular🀩

    If you're looking for authentic slavic food, you've come to the right place. Galina's food is the most comforting, delicious food I've ever had. She had everything you need - breakfast, lunch and dinner. She makes them all in house, and even makes frozen portions if needed for large bulk orders. The service is fast, and friendly. I would eat here everyday if I could.

  • 5/5 Evgeny T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tasty and authentic food. Borscht is the best I ever tried (and I tried a lot of different recipes)! Other things I tried were crepes with meat and pelmeni and I can highly recommend those too. Great for both dining in and takeout - frozen borscht and crepes are very handy.

  • 5/5 Anastasiia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! Really cozy an welcome. I had borstch and pelmeni, it is delicious! Really recommend for comfort foot lunch or dinner.

    We’ve been coming to Teremok for years, and it never disappoints with its homemade authentic Eastern European food. There is nothing like having Borsh on a cold winter day! The soups are amazing, and you could get them frozen to go. Everything is made fresh and with love! Wonderful owners that take great care of their customers.

  • 5/5 Daiana G. 1 year ago on Google
    I am Moldovan and love the food here! They have pelimeni, solyanka, borsh, vareniki and much more. Also give you an option to purchase frozen food to take home! Everything tastes amazing and brings me memories of my home country every time we dine there! Amazing service, very friendly and kind staff!

    I first started coming to Teremok for their traditional soups, which are excellent. Then I discovered their crepes with sweet cottage cheese and crepes with meat. The sweet crepes remind me of the ones my grandmother used make in a firewood oven back home. It gives me a taste of childhood. Now my kids tried them and ask for these crepes all the time. I love that you can dine in or buy your foveorite soups/crepes frozen and enjoy at home. The owner is always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for delicious home cooked meals.
