I've had this on my radar for a while now and am glad that I finally had an opportunity to try it!…read more It's located just off the Henday in a little strip mall. The place itself is quite small with minimal seating. I was able to snag the last table when I arrived. Similar to a coffee shop, you grab your own table and head to the till to make an order. They will deliver your order to your table. They have a wide selection of pastries and desserts as well as food items. They have a Ukrainian breakfast menu as well as an American breakfast menu. They also have a freezer with homemade frozen goods you can purchase. Prices are on par with most restaurants/coffee shops. Everything looked SO tasty, it was very hard to make a decision. I ended up getting a the mushroom egg toast that came with salad, potatoes, and I added a sausage on the side. The food was sooo good and extremely filling. The potatoes were AMAZING! I ate around 1 and didn't eat dinner that night since I was still full. I also ordered a lavender latte, and got a lemon blueberry cake to go. Their coffee was delicious and you could actually taste the lavender flavour. I've gone to some places where the flavouring was almost non-existent. The cake was also quite nice. Only thing I found was that the bottom was a bit overbaked. I am excited to come back and try some of their Ukrainian dishes.

We would definitely recommend trying the pierogies and the chicken cutlets with dill mashed potatoes! We have also been here for breakfast, and it was just as great. Not to mention all of the drinks like flat whites, cappuccinos, and all kinds of lemonades as well. Thanks Malinas!!

Traditional caucasian comfort food at it's best (worst for your cardiovascular system and waistline…read moretho!) - starch, meat, salt, butter, cream... oh my! 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.

It is kinda similiar to a small town dinner. No frills. Also the servers do their job but I can't say they were friendly. This time I had the smoked pork chop with the chedder perogies and the sour cabbage rolls and cheese filled crepes. I love thier smoked pork chop. I waffle on that an the meatballs. To me these are my favourite foods. My husband went with the kubbie burger which he really enjoyed. Not much to say in terms of ambiance. Pretty basic but clean. I obviously will come back here again

My partner and I usually go to another place but it was our first time there to celebrate the Ukrainian Christmas. The food was very delicious and the portions generous.

Definitely a restaurant to go back to for tasty foods.

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.

It was nice that we were on the patio and there wasn't a lot of traffic noise to interfere with our conversation. Menu is pretty basic but works because this place has been here forever. Service was a little slow and i am not sure why because there wasn't many people here, and most of them are on the patio with us. Server was okay but doesn't get any stars for being friendly. We decided on a the panko crusted halibut and hubby decided on the burger. Our friends chose the egg salad sandwich and the veggie burger. Food was okay but portions were really small. *(Look at my fish). What I will say is their potato salad was amazing. Really worth looking into. My fish was fine flavour wise but a little over cooked and so small. I probably won't come here again unless it is to pick up the potato salad to go.

It's a five minute stroll from our hotel, which also has a restaurant, but we will be coming back again for a fourth time. Thanks Rudy!

The ambiance is nice and warm. Lots of selections, you can find something for everyone. There is an emphasis on wild game which is something unique. We all decided on pizza. For kiddo Country Ham and Pineapple -black forest ham, smoked bacon, fresh pineapple . For hubby The Carnivore - pepperoni, salami, ham, ground elk and for me MeatHead Bison Sausage- white sauce, bison sausage, peppers, onions, goat cheese, chili oil. It took awhile for the food to come out slowly. But we enjoyed it once it came. Decent size, and good amount of toppings. Nice crust. I could have used more chili oil to cut the richness of the white sauce but they were so busy, it was hard to find someone to give us our bill. In general a pleasant evening.

Lots of parking in the communal parking lot - too bad it's quite hidden in a residential area. Calamari: 9/10 the most tender calamari I have ever had - no chewiness at all...some chewiness was expected. Great breading and the seasoning salt was nice. Saganaki: 8/10 This is just like a giant deep fried Mozza stick. Does not come with bread but when I asked staff grabbed a couple slices of pita on the house - I recommend ordering bread with it as this was soooo much better. Seems a bit overpriced, but I don't know the price of Kefalotiri cheese to begin with. Comes with a show as the staff add a shot of ___ and light it on fire. Then squeeze a lemon on. No taste of alcohol, but Very strong lemon taste that was a bit overpowering. Chicken Souvlaki: 9/10: chicken was moist and flavorful, white dip was 10/10 good, rice was 10/10 good, potato was too lemon for me but I find that is very typical with this cuisine, lots of feta on the salad was nice. Staff also gave us free baklava and it was 10/10 good. Very strong cinnamon taste. Not too sweet and the nut texture was perfect. Overall the staff were amazing and so generous. I highly recommend making the trip to check this place out!

My wife and I both ordered the Chandru Special for $17.50. It's a crepe with bacon and eggs inside plus some cheese slices melted on top. There was a side of fresh fruit. The presentation was somewhat lacking as the cheese slices made it look like something you find at your children's birthday party. The dish definitely needed some sauce to help it down. At least the fruit was good. Our server was very skilled at tunnel vision as she didn't see us even when walking right by our table. Eventually we caught her and got a refill for our coffee. She was pleasent enough when she arrived but definitely didn't want to do refills. On a more positive note, my friend ordered an omelet which came with potatoes that looked like thick potato chips. They looked good and he liked them. If I return it will be because I am in the area and can't find a better place. In other words, three stars out of five.
