Chayhana Vostok - Sarasota County

A nice and easy going atmosphere. Our server did a great job informing us on the food (as I am not familiar with Russian cuisines). I am not a fan of dumplings but this joint made me a believer! Also, I strongly recommend trying the dessert!

Food is fantastic!!! Olivier salad is perfect, chachapury is nice, cheburwk is fantastic! Grilled meat is juicy! Drinks like kompot aka fruit tea and Kvass is delucious!!!

Delicious food and good portion sizes. Will definitely be back. The service was very slow though.. We waited for an hour for the food even though it was a very slow Wednesday afternoon. Will definitely come back though because the food was awesome. Edit:we have been there twice and the food was great. The service was much better the second time. The price is too high but the foodis unique so I guess that's what they are charging for.

Amazing pelmeni, chicken kabob, salted platter, salads. We had half of the menu and no complaints on anything! Kvas was amazing, tasted home brewed.

As an Eastern European I can say that this place has amazing authentic food. This was our first time trying this place and we shared everything. The food was very flavorful and fresh. You can tell that everything is definitely homemade. Many of the menuitems are very time consuming and difficult to make and they definitely delivered. We are lucky to have such a quality authenticplace like this here in Sarasota where most of the restaurant are average at best. Will definitely go back and I highlyrecommend it.
