She recommended drinks based on what we like to drink normally. My hubby and I had two drinks each and both were really good. The vibe is really cool in here. We sat for 2 hours.

The staff, friendly and English speaking, will quickly get you a table (and, at times, offer some vodka). I settled down to beef stroganoff, a cup of hot Ukrainian borscht, and a glass of kvass (a crisp, tart/sweet drink made from fermented rye bread). The borscht had a deep flavour, complimented by a small drizzle of sour cream and shreds of simmered meat, while the stroganoff was rich and satisfying, the tender beef paired well with mushrooms and onions in a silky smooth dill-and-cream sauce. Main dishes come with your choice of potato; even simple boiled potatoes make for a fine side.

It was also quiet enough that you could talk over it, which is important to me as I am no longer young and hip. I ordered some potato filled dumplings that were good, sauce was a little oily and the greens seemed to just be chopped romaine, bland. I tasted one of the pork dumplings which were more flavorful but both wrappers were thick and bland. Decent selection of beer and vodka but I found it to be quite overpriced for the quality. Maybe next time I'll just have a drink and watch the band.

It's all about the cheesy wallpaper. You can smoke in the entire place, so if you are a non-smoker, beware. You have entered into Russian territory! Fair drink prices and decent music. I liked the feel of this place. Despite showing up on a weekend, the place wasn't packed and it was easy to find a place to sit. I would say that this place is best enjoyed before heading out to some clubs or for a chat with about 2-6 people (unless drinking alone is your thing). I would be curious to come here during the afternoon and have some coffee. Seems like it would be a good atmosphere for that as well. The restrooms were clean, especially for a dive bar, and I always love it when they also have hand moisturizer too, right next to the soap. Call me weird. It was a good experience and I would come here again.

We were lucky to stumble upon this place. I believe Cafe Datscha is the go-to place in Berlin to get a taste of Russian cuisine. I personally got the ASSORTI Datscha (vegetarisch) teigtaschen (spinach-cheese filled Russian dumplings). As a personal cheese lover - this dish was heaven. They bake the dumplings with cheese and cream for cheesy and oozey goodness. I still crave them to this day.

I especially enjoyed the eggplant spread ("eggplant caviar"?), the cold cut and the sirniki with homemade strawberry jam.
