Streecha

My husband and I came here for lunch after church. We are from Ukraine and were very happy to find this place. I ordered banosh, beet salad, and deruny. Honest review: service—10/10, banosh—11/10, beet salad—9/10, deruny—0/10. My husband and I were very disappointed, my husband was even angry because this dish was nothing like real deruny. For that price—$16—they could have at least tried. The portions are large, but so is the price.

Very local place, surely very significative to the ukrainian community here. Lovely service. I would have like the borsht to be more consistent, it was mostly broth and a tiny bit of vegetables. The blintzes were very small. I just can't get used to the cost of things in New York. It must be really hard for restaurants.

I cannot bad mouth this place because it is a cultural center in a church basement and worth visiting for that. But this appeal is its short coming as food quality appears to vary greatly across reviews from close periods of times. When I went my varenyky weren’t served with any sauces or onions just melted butter. The texture were pleasant and soft you could tell they were fresh however they were bland. My stuffed cabbage tasted good however it was 90% rice with minimal amounts of meat. I understand how recipes vary greatly per chef and tradition but it is not a vegetarian cabbage roll this seems more like an attempt to keep costs down rather than a variant of a traditional dish. The cup of kompot for $3 was basically just red water. I feel because it is a community center it really depe

Very no frills, 3rd place vibe. This is home cooking not really like a restaurant in the most comforting and complimentary way. The honey cake was delicious! One of the best stuffed cabbages I've ever had. Idk if it typically comes with the mushroom gravy but omg . I dipped the perogies in the gravy and it was soo good. The borsch was a little meh. I wanna go back and try the dinner plates. Someone said in their reviews they felt like it was overpriced but I'm not sure where they can get as hearty and filling as this meal and for that price.

Finally tried this place. A lot more authentic than the other Ukrainian restaurants in the city. Felt like a mom and pop restaurant. Casual just food nothing complicated. You order your food and sit and wait for your food to be brought to you. I don’t have to go all the way to Brooklyn to have Ukrainian food. Will definitely come back.
