I am so lucky I found this delightful cafe - right next to my house. It's become a regular for me now. Lydia, the owner, is an amazing person; the food, delicious and Home style. I strongly recommend a visit and ask for the day's specials.

Usually Russian things make me want to run a mile, but this place is decent for lunch. Good value.

This place makes me wish my office was closer so I could hear every day for lunch. The environment is super casual but cozy and reminds me a bit of a deli where you can choose from a number of pre cooked items. Without a doubt, they serve the best eastern European food I’ve ever had. Also keep an eye out for their Plov Thursdays.

Great mix of food from Russia, Georgia, Usbekistan, and more. There is a great variety to mix your own plate with great homemade salads, and additionally some traditional dishes that feel like made at home!

The two ladies behind the counter don't speak basic english but we can get by body's language. Just point what you want to eat. Sure enough food was delicious

Authentic and old-school post-soviet diner place. The atmosphere is great and the prices are very affordable considering the location.

I’m visiting Berlin for the first time and wanted food near my hotel and walked here. The woman at the counter was soooo sweet even though she knew no English and I spoke no German. She was helpful and patient and gave me many options. I got kohlruladen, potato frites, and a Russian salad (I think it was a potato salad oops too many potatoes). It was fire 🔥🔥🔥thank you sweet lady who helped me!!💕

Great place for lunch! Lovely selection of foods which changes on a daily basis too. Prices are quite stomachable and the food is really damn good. The place definitely has the charm it'd have in Russia, it's simple, honest. Can only recommend, I'll be back for the best Russian food outside of Charlottenburg😉!

Authentic and delicious delicacy. Lydia was also very kind and helpful. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing! Such a family / community feeling inside the restaurant. The people who own the restaurant are so lovely and kind. Great food as well.

Lecker wie zuhause) 🥘aber irgendwie fehlt mir ein bisschen modernen und komfortablen Umgebung, man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie in Soviet Union, sorry aber es ist schon 2023😅😅

Hier gibt es viele leckere russische Spezialitäten, wie bspw. Plov. Die Preise sind fair und das Essen frisch gemacht. Sehr zu empfehlen für die Mittagspause. Es gibt Getränke, auch die russische Limonade Kwas. Man kann drin essen oder sich das Essen einpacken lassen.

The best Schnitzel I have ever had, The food is really made with love feels like you are invited to someone place for lunch. Highly recommend 👏🏻👏🏻✨

Sehr authentisches und leckeres Essen. Alles wird täglich frisch gekocht und Lydia berät einen gerne bei der Essenswahl und bietet verschiedene Kombinationen und vegetarische und vegane Gerichte.

Home-like food, really good 👍🏻

Just a great selection of food. I can eat something new every week day. Very nice and kind staff! If you are up to Russian, Ukrainian or Georgian cuisine, this is the right place

Delicious and very affordable for being so close to the Museum island

Great selection of Russian/Ukrainian dishes. Nice salads, awesome fried pies, Solyanka is da best.

Vegan plate was really good

Tasty food, big portions, good prices

Very tasty and reasonable prices!

Good East European cousin. Example prices Soups 4.9E Pielmieni 1.7E Side salads 1.3E

Great food. Just like mother used to make it. And it is not expensive at all.

The food was not the best, the price was cheap. The staff don't really speak english but they do understand it. If you are working in the area it's a good place otherwise I recommend you try something else.

Tasty food and good breakfast. Sadly I did find two hairs in my food. It was still really tasty tho. The staff is also friendly. Cheap and fulfilling.

Sehr gute bekannte russische Gerichte sowie wechselnde Hausmannskost. Stets eine grosse Auswahl an frischen selbstgemachten Salate. Die Preise sind für die Qualität und den Service gut. Die Inhaber sind beide sehr freundlich. Das Lokal wirkt nicht sehr gemütlich aber hier hole ich mir gerne mein Essen zur Mittagspause.

Best lunch meals in Berlin!! Menu changes daily! Vegan options always available. Great food made with love by the very friendly Lydia!
