You would think that a restaurant is just about food, but this is so much more. This place is a truly fun night out. In terms of food, we ordered a banquet, which means a prix-fix dinner with at least ten different varieties of plated dishes plus a couple of deserts. It's authentic, homemade Ukrainian food, from meat and fish to an assortment of side garnishments which will leave you asking "what is that?" while you answer "I don't care, it's delicious!" The staff was beyond attentive, they were changing our plates every fifteen minutes, refilling our drinks and bringing out the next item in a never-ending parade of food. But eating is not the main event, entertainment is. They have a good sized dancefloor and a couple of DJ/singers that delighted us with music from around the world. Everything from Latin to Italian to US, the beats covered the world. After midnight the music took a short break and we went back to eat, again. I mean, this was not the night to lose weight! Suddenly, they brought out a belly dancer (like I said, entertainment). She and her snake, yes a real one, along with a balancing act of swords and candles certainly added another layer of fun. The whole experience was unique, fun, and most important - unforgettable.

I have never been to a Russian restaurant before so he was nice enough to explain to our group what all the food choices were. They are big on lamb here so some group members said those dishes were delicious. I chose the beef and chicken items like the kabobs and they were juicy and perfectly cooked. The tomato & goat cheese appetizer was delicious. I could've eaten that all night. The pumpkin puff pastry was delicious. I did not try the other meat one but once again our group loved it. We had some rice and aside order of fried potatoes, which were like potato chips and they were delicious garlic. Very good. We ended with homemade desserts which consisted of chocolate mousse, a puff pastry of some sort, a baklava, which was delicious. Everything was delicious. Bring your own alcohol. You're in for a very tasty treat.

Between the sauna, steam room, and a refreshing (and challenging!) dip in the cold plunge, I felt my body reset and recharge with every breath. I was only able to handle the cold plunge for a bit, but it's exhilarating and surprisingly addictive! The benefits of alternating between hot and cold are incredible; you feel so much lighter and refreshed afterward. The spa offers it all: hot tea, a full restaurant (where else can you enjoy a cozy plate of pierogi between rounds?), BYOB, and even TVs to catch the game with friends. Time flies here, and I left feeling balanced, revived, and already looking forward to my next visit! Watch the full experience on my IG @foodaholicnj

The only issue is, the lady behind the counter doesn't know much English. We had to wait for someone in the back to come help. I've started to google things where labeled to help us move the ordering along. Depending on the time of day, cooked food came be coming out as you order or they can run out of what you want for the day. I forgot to take pics of our orders. But we've been here 3x this last month. We like their Borscht Soup, Turkish Salad, Eggplant Caviar. The Duck is delicious when they have it, it's kind of like bbq style. One of the times had more bakery items, trying to remember if it was a weekend or weekday.... The sweet cheese bread was good and wanted to try another flavor.

Eventually a person comes to the front and ducks real fast behind the counter into a chair . Are you serious ? Hello miss I need help ?! She was very cold and completely non suggestive nor descriptive. I had explained it was my first time in this type of deli so please explain what I'm looking at. I normally would spend 60.00 in a new store and bought so many items. She made feel like I was truly bothering g her so I picked some items fast and left . I can't judge the food because I have no idea how it should be. Note: nothing is sold hot. It's food left out in the open at room temperature so if you worry about my cousin Sal Monella then be very careful to heat everything . I won't be back
