    I've been to Russia and I would say this restaurant is quite realistic! From the slightly dodgy entrance, to the 'sombre' welcome, to the decor, to the unironed tablecloths. Food was good and reasonably priced. In fact the restaurant is so realistic they don't even have a card machine and I had to walk to the nearest ATM to get the cash to pay my bill.

    A bit of dissapoitment food wise because sadly food was cooked in microwave only! Lovely lady worked and she tried her best but needs improvement in kitchen. Also expensive for that type of food

    Swaffham is really lucky to have this unique restaurant we had the sharing board as a starter the lamb and the veg tart all were delicious, Such a shame that 8 p,m on a Friday evening only two tables were occupied.

    Interesting authentic Russian Restaurant. Well worth dining there if you are in Swaffham.

    First visit, but definitely not the last. A warm welcome, an interesting menu, and beautifully cooked tasty food, it was everything we could have hoped for. Value for money too. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Very warm welcome, as always. Thoroughly enjoyed the amazing food, which was served with a smile! Try the flight of vodkas. Fun to guess the flavours! Highly recommended place to eat!

    Service Ok, but food boring, prepared in advance and re heat in Microwave. Place looks dated.

    It's a lovely place. Food was really delicious, staff was very welcoming and friendly and prices were reasonable. What else can you ask for? The pelmeni are a must try. They have vegetarian options. 100% recommended

    One of the best and quirkiest dining experiences I've ever had. Do not be put off by the entrance, this place is a true hidden gem. Some of the best food I've ever eaten. You simply must go

    We just had a delicious meal at Rasputin. I personally hadn't been to a Russian restaurant before but I was interested in trying the food and I wasn't disappointed. All the food was freshly made, authentic and a good price. The staff are very friendly too.

    My girlfriend and I ate here this evening on a brief trip to Swaffham. The food was excellent, and the service was superb. We were made to feel very welcome and recommend it if you're ever in town. We had the borscht, blinis, goulash and the Rasputin pork.

    Had a lovely dinner here last night. Wonderfully hosted, great food. Gherkins to die for.

    Place looks amazing. Staff really rude, they have an amazing ceiling, was trying to take a photo of it, unfortunately the lady working there told me off for taking a picture of her which I was not, when corrected she gave another warning and walked off in a very rude manner muttering under her breath. We left straight away, no food ordered. Response to this message was very unfortunate and very unhelpful, you have just lied to make yourself seem better than what you are, I have heard great things about your place, what a pity .

    Absolutely fantastic! The staff are lovely and the food is delicious. And so reasonably priced too. Definitely recommend the Vodka paddle (pic attached) where you have to guess the flavours. A hidden gem well worth the walk up the stairs!

    I went here last night with a friend and we both really enjoyed our food. We were made to feel so welcome from the minute we arrived. This place is a proper hidden gem and if you're in Swaffham, do check it out.

    An excellent restaurant, with very comfortable and atmospheric surrounds. Delicious, hearty Russian cuisine. I would recommend blinis, the pork and a Russian torte.

    On walking in i thought it looked a bit run down, but the food was amazing and the staff were lovely, i would go back.

    Visiting family so mixed age group at the table. Salmon and Pork special were ace. Lamb was tasty but probably needed mash rather than saute potatoes to soak up the gravy. Veggie ravioli could do with fried onions in top (like perogi) but were well made. Cheese board is very good....but none of that matters a jot because there is traditional Honey Torte. Go have it.

    The lamb and salmon were fantastic. Please visit this place any time you can.
