I had never had a lot of Russian/Eastern European food growing up so I was excited to try so many delicacies that Dasha had told us about. I loved everything here, including the raw green onion appetizer. The lighting is subdued and romantic, like a grownup restaurant. What was most memorable is Dasha going outside to take a call and learning that she got the job she applied for. We were so proud of her and it called for more celebration. How fitting that we went to Dacha to celebrate Dasha.

Dacha was my first taste of Russian/Eastern European cuisine in Hong Kong. I was a bit hesitant, as…read morethis place isn't too popular in Hong Kong. But after dining here, I hope this review convinces you well enough to try it out! So having visited St. Petersburg over the summer, I couldn't wait to have a bowl of warm borscht and Beef Stroganoff. Unless you're familiar with Eastern European cuisine, the dish names on the menu might throw you off a bit. This covers Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Romania, Poland, But it's all about learning about a new culture and cuisine, and surprising yourself along the journey. We reviewed the menu backwards, starting with the mains, then appetizers and soup. For mains, we went for Beef Stroganoff, Chicken "Kiev", and the Pork Kebab Shashlyk. Appetizers, the Siberian Pelmeni (ground pork dumplings), beetroot fries and borscht to share. As for drinks, we went for the hard hitter first: Sour Cherry Vodka. My first reaction was, this tastes like cherry flavored cough syrup. But it's nicely sweet and the vodka not overwhelming. The taste grew on me and I was the last one to finish it, because I was slowly savoring it! My friends ordered some Eastern European beer: Baltika from Russia, a white beer from Lithuania, and Kozel from Czech Republic. Amazing - I almost forgot I was in Hong Kong! Beetroot fries (HK$138) were new to me, and I loved them, dipped in sour cream. In fact, they provide sour cream with every dish, with your soup, with your mains, even with your dessert! I'll get to that in a sec. The beetroot fries didn't make me feel as guilty as I do after French fries, and they weren't greasy at all. Win! The dumplings were, well...dumplings! (HK$108) Nothing too special compared to dim sum in Hong Kong, but it's something new! One order of the dumplings came with about 9 pcs, so it's good for sharing. Then a steaming large bowl of borscht arrived. (HK$90) In HK, "borscht" is red tomato-y. But in Russia, borscht is somewhat purple in color, beet-based. It was perfect at Dacha! Our mains were outstanding, they exceeded my expectations. The beef stroganoff (HK$258) came with slices of ribeye, wild mushroom sauce and traditional kasha (buckwheat). Needless to say, my beef stroganoff cravings were fulfilled. The main that surprised me the most was the Chicken Kiev (HK$258). I had never tasted such tender in long time. The Chicken Kiev is a flattened chicken breast that's been coated with herbed butter, wrapped and breaded, and then deep fried. Quite similar to Chicken Cordon Bleu. But one taste and it just blew me away. The plating could be improved for this dish, but the taste, mhmm mhmm mhmm! The Pork Kebab Shashlyk (HK$268) is not your average kebab. Nope. I would say it's triple the size of your typical kebab. For pork lovers, this is your dish. The barbecued pork is plated with a fresh tomato salad. Something hot paired something cooling. Needless to say, we were pretty full at this point. But did someone say dessert? We asked for their recommendation and they suggested the Honey Cake Medovik (HK$85), their most popular dessert. We ordered two of these, plus two orders of the Signature Cheese Pancakes "Syrniki" (HK$125). The honey cake was very sweet. It was delicious but I had enough after 2-3 bites. I immediately regretted the cheese pancakes - I thought they'd be fluffy but they are more dense. Perhaps our dessert money could have been better spent elsewhere. Overall, a great meal, would not hesitate to return if I'm ever craving Eastern European food! I will warn, the price point is quite expensive, and if you're not careful, you could be racking up a pricey bill at the end. For 6 people, it ended up being about HK$670 per person. Ah! So maybe we went too crazy with the desserts... but it was definitely worth it. That's all that matters right?

With that in mind, I give this place four stars for the taste of the food. Lamb Chops with Rice - Fragrant and tender Iskender Kebab with Bread - A huge portion- perhaps a little bit more than what a normal person can finish! The meat is interesting and nothing like I've had before but it was enjoyable. Turkish Apple Tea - Good Hot Mango Tea - Tastes exactly like unset - hot jelly mixture. Do not waste money on this one! Severely understaffed with just one waitress for around 10 tables, perhaps more. Other workers (they look like the owners family or of the same ethnicity) were just sitting around and waiting for this one busy lady to manage the restaurant. It makes them look like terrible employers that force their staff to the brink of falling over and I hope this changes soon.

As my friend was not a big eater, we only ordered the main course. She had the lamb while I had the ribeye steak which was the best decision I made.

I enjoyed every pieces of it and I got to try the lamb as well, and that was just amazing. I had lamb previously in Seoul and they certainly don't taste as good as this. This certainly made up the disappointment my friend and I had, missing out on our first choice. The atmosphere of the restaurant certainly feels Middle Eastern style but the service on the other hand was a disappointment. They were slow and I can sense their disappointment when we ordered only the main course. Overall, this place is worth the try!

We waited for a bit and I was wondering if they went to pick their own grapefruit..... And, well they kind of did! The manager realized that they didn't have any grapefruit juice in the house so he ran up the block to five other restaurants to get it. Wow. Really cool. I get to talking with him about types of drinks and I happened to mention that I love a good Amarro or Farnet Branca after dinner. Anyway, we order and the first dish is a safron chicken that comes out perfectly cooked. Unique dish served with a great sauce and escarole in a lemony dressing. Then we see the falafel that the other table ordered and remark that we should have ordered that too. The waiter hears us and asks if we also want to order one and we say "why not!". Along comes a perfectly made falafel Egyptian style. Meanwhile, I am still drinking greyhounds and we get our entrees. Mine is a duck risotto with an amazing lemony flavor and crispy duck. My wife had the kabab/skewers of chicken. We finish the meal and the manager remembered our conversation and had gotten a bottle of Amarro. Had a glass of that and a cappuccino to end the night. Great service food and ambiance. Five stars.
