A very cozy and welcoming place that you want to come back to. I tried almost every dish on the menu — each one had its own unique, rich flavors and aromas. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the food is prepared with care and respect for tradition. The portions are generous, and the presentation is neat. The staff is friendly and always ready to help with recommendations. A great spot for a relaxed dinner or meeting with friends.

Very delicious homemade food ! Something your mom or grandma would make. Husband, kids and I very much enjoyed manti, chicken patties, hichini, and meat soup. Everyone I know likes this place and it’s’ owners. Many truckers get their food here and honestly it’s a great idea to get larger sets and heat it up when needed, it’s pretty convenient and financially sustainable. Altogether a great place and I definitely recommend it.
