He chose the potato and cheddar and potato and cottage cheese. Cottage cheese ones were 11/10 delicious. Cheddar ones were 10/10. Great for 4 people as we only had 4 perogies left over! 12 CABBAGE ROLLS - I am not used to cabbage rolls only filled with rice. Found them a bit bland as I usually put bacon, ground beef, and more seasonings in mine. Nice tomato sauce on top. 4 HAM GARLIC "KOVBASA" SAUSAGE LINKS - These were HUGE. Great show piece and everyone loved the flavor. DEEP FRIED MINI 'PEROGIES' - These were okay but kind of soggy by the time we ate. He also got the fried pickles - these were 10/10! Breading was crisp and pickle was nice and tart.

It is more of a place where you take your food to go. Prices are a little on the high side, however they are really great community members and the food is high in quality. Service though is slow. Don't come if you are in a rush. While waiting though, it was nice to see how many people are regulars at this place and the staff know them by name. I had a combo plate. Everything was delicous. The stand outs though were the borsch. I am pretty picky about borsch and this one was excellent, and the cabbage rolls. The cabbage rolls were full of flavour. I make cabbage rolls but not like these ones. The perogies were good, and the sausage was pretty much the same as other places. They have a freezer section so you can grab and go with that as well.

And to top it all off, huge homemade pies in about 8 different varieties. For the more health conscious (ha!) there's cabbage and beet soup - there's even some beans in there. I love Uncle Ed's. The service is fast, the food is good and the price is right. It's a calorie splurge but totally worth it. I also love that I can shop after, I always pick up soup and perogies from the frozen section, but there are many more items to choose from, like poppyseed donuts, cabbage rolls and affordable veal cutlets (they're hit and miss, sometimes stringy, but at $7 for a pack of 2 it's a good gamble). There's also a fridge section, the deli of course, and a little packaged good section. I like to pick up spätzle, sauerkraut and Jam Lady products here. They also have a small Ukrainian goods section and offer special items at Christmas and Easter. Uncle Ed's is an Edmonton institution, and their newer location in Beverly is clean and organized. Just get there early (1100ish) cuz the lunch rush is very busy and the parking fills up fast.

Frozen meals and snacks (cake, pie, loaf cake, beef jerky, pampushky) available too. Ordered the Maxi plate so I could try the perogies, nalysnyky, kobbassa, and meatballs. All for $15. Place had the AC running hard but it was +27 outside so understandable. Sausage was great. Just basic garlic sausage, not spicy. Meatballs were covered in a nice beef gravy. Perogies were fresh, I tried the cottage cheese ones which were nice - very light flavor. The Nalysnyky were great and highly recommend to try as they are pretty unique. Friend got the cabbage roll and had to ask for tomato sauce for on top (otherwise comes sauce-less). Filling is just rice looked like. Overall nice Ukranian food with a menu that lets you try everything in whatever quantity you want.

There are "hidden gem" restaurants and then there's Saskitoba, a place that epitomizes the entire…read moreconcept. The prairie provinces of Canada are known for their high concentration of people of Eastern European decent, especially Ukrainians. And so of course there are restaurants that reflect this cuisine, although not as many as you'd imagine. Saskitoba is one of these places, originally opened to service the needs of their immediate community in Nisku (mostly the industrial workers nearby at lunchtime). But this didn't last for long because the rest of the Edmonton area caught wind of them and the Edmonton Journal named them Favourite Hidden Gem Restaurant 2023. Yes, they're out in Nisku among the drilling and machining companies. But don't let that stop you - you're on a Ukrainian buffet adventure! You read that right: It's a buffet. And you're going to need to make a reservation in advance because Saskitoba is not so "hidden" anymore and they're usually booked solid. Don't assume that you can just walk in. I visited on a Saturday evening and they didn't have a single table to spare. The outside boasts a big, bright blue and yellow banner, so you'll be sure that you've found the correct place. Inside, I was immediately struck by sense-memory aromas that took me back to my Polish grandmother's kitchen (the cuisine is quite similar, after all). The dining area looks to be part small town diner and part cafeteria, with bright overhead tube lighting and simple tables (don't let this discourage you). There are a few bits of Ukrainian decor, namely the impressive floral vinok arrangement at the front entrance. Promptly whisked to our table, our server was friendly and ran through a routine speech to inform us of how everything was about to go down. As a buffet restaurant you can imagine that they face real concerns when it comes to food waste, and we were rightfully reminded to only take as much food as we intended to eat. It was time to begin. The back end of the room served as the buffet area, with various chafing dishes lined up in a row, as well as a salad bar section and a dessert table. The Handmade Ukrainian Buffet costs $25 per person and kids pay their age! My eyes located the cauldron of Meatless Borshch and I filled a bowl. I'm a fan of adding sour cream to my borshch and Saskitoba obliges by leaving a big bowl of sour cream right next to the soup. The deep scarlet colour of the broth was mesmerizing and plentiful with dill. The flavour was rich and earthy. The abundant pieces of beet were prepared in a long and skinny julienne style which allowed for a lot of beets to fit into the bowl without taking up too much bulky space. I loved this soup. It was nostalgic (although many of the dishes were) and it tasted like it was homemade by someone's grandma, er, babusya. Attempting to pace myself (I can see why they are required to remind people of this because the desire to go crazy with a fully-loaded plate is certainly real), I decided to treat my next round as a "starter course." This included a visit to the Cold Salad Bar, the dishes resting atop a huge bin of ice. The options included various salads and pickled vegetable items. This also seemed like the appropriate time for the Hand Pinched Potato Cheese Varenyky (or perogies). I need to mention that the dinner plates at Saskitoba are gorgeous! I absolutely loved the blue floral printed dishes - far more striking than a plain white plate. I also paid a visit to the "cabbage vessel" and loaded up on some Fried Cabbage and Sauerkraut & Bacon. The Eastern European in me certainly appreciated plenty of cabbage content. The potato salad was incredible! So creamy and jam-packed with dill!! The pieces of potato were tender and the salad was so flavourful. I grabbed some beets and olives, because obviously. I loved the fried cabbage a lot and I'm not sure if I've ever tasted this preparation before. Caramelizing anything is never going to be bad and this remains true in this case. And now the varenyky. These were magical because you could really feel that each one was handmade and that their dough came from the type of recipe that has been passed down through generations. I loved that the varenyky were swimming in a vat of butter and fried onions. Incredible! The only thing that I didn't enjoy as much (and I'm sure that this will not be the popular opinion) is the cheese filling. To me, a cheddar cheese filling is a North American expectation of a perogie and not so much an authentic version. My tastes prefer a sauerkraut-filled perogie every time. Maybe with some wild mushrooms in there. And definitely served with a mushroom gravy (not sour cream). However, I was able to work with the situation by piling my varenyky with sauerkraut & bacon which got me much closer to my preference. My next visit to the buffet was meant to be my "main course," where I would load up on all of the big savoury dinner items. There were more dishes to choose from than I could po
