Vanka Cafe,

3810 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11235

"The food is delicious, traditional for the European countries of the former Soviet Union. Jellied meat, pancakes with meat, khachapuri, pork shish kebab with mashed potatoes - I can confidently recommend all this. The service is really good, but not perfect. I wish you success on your path to achieving the ideal! I am pleased with the fact that in the restaurant "Cafe Vanka" I can talk with the staff in Ukrainian."

"Great place. Tasty food . Great service. Have been eating here for many years"

"The food was excellent, fresh and perfectly cooked. Waiters are polite and delivering great service. We are definitely coming back to try something else."

"I went out of my comfort zone, and decided to be adventurous… This place didn’t disappoint me. I was happily surprised to see a quaint decor reminiscent of Russia in the previous century. The menus are in Russian and English and the waiters speak English, it’s great because I don’t understand Russian at all, but I do understand Russ Food! The food portions are big, beautiful and above all delicious! I wouldn’t change nothing, had tasted 4 main courses and loved each on of them, appetizers were good and had no room for desserts…. Next time I’ll get less food. And have a dessert. Service was fast and efficient, server was nice, foods came out fast, hot and fresh."

"I always like this place. The foods are delicious. It is a small restaurant offering a lot Russian dishes and grilled meats. Although it can get really crowded on the weekend it is worth to wait. The service is good and will definitely come back again."
