Chayhana Vostok

2024-03-16 I visited a restaurant which had a nice atmosphere with live Russian as well as recorded music. The volume of the music was perfect, not too loud, which added to my enjoyment of the ambiance. As a vegetarian, I asked the waitress about the vegetarian options available and she recommended the Draniki (Potato Pancakes) which were described as Grated Potato Hashbrowns, Fresh Herbs & Sour Cream, and confirmed that they did not contain any meat. I ordered the Draniki accordingly. However, when I received the dish, it was in a pot and did not look like traditional pancakes. I assumed it was a new and unique dish from Uzbekistan. Only after I started eating did I realize it had meat in it. I called the waitress to inform her about the issue, and she agreed to replace the dish with a vegetarian one. After a 20-minute wait, I received a new version of the Draniki, which looked like traditional pancakes and contained no meat. I noticed that the menu mentioned "Fresh Herbs," which were not included in the dish. When I asked the waitress about it, she brought me the herbs. Initially, the waitress informed me that I would be charged for the replacement of the Draniki, which I agreed to, even though I felt that they should not have charged me for their mistake - firstly for telling me that it was a vegetarian dish and secondly for not mentioning that the dish contained meat. After a while, the waitress informed me that I would not be charged for the replacement dish. However, when I asked for the herbs, they informed me that I would be charged for the dish. In the end, I was charged for the Draniki. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for me, especially charge/no charge/and then back to charge, even though it was complete their fall. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options on the menu, but they serve with meat and know about it. Be careful.

If it hadn't been for someone referring me to this little gem, I probably would have never noticed it! A small store front in a strip mall, the sign slightly hidden behind a tree, and surrounded by a plethora of other businesses, it's easy to overlook. But what a shame if you have never tried this absolutely delightful restaurant! The ambiance is fabulous! As authentic as the delicious cuisine! The flavors were fantastic, and the service was astounding. This will most certainly not be the last time we dine here!!

What a gem! I’m in town for a conference and discovered this place near my Airbnb. Wonderful food & atmosphere!

Душевная обстановка, внимательный персонал! Певица Олечка такая умница! Можно потанцевать! Самса the BEST! Всем советую!

Tiny spot - went when there was no one else. My family said service was slow and portions were smaller than expected. Tough to share, must purchase everything a la carte. Food was just ok.

Лагман был отменный, а вот плов был вчерашний ( это очень чувствовалось . В целом хорошее место , но цены на предлагаемую еду чуть завышена.
