Borscht with sour cream $7
This classic Russian soup filled with loads of veggies, mainly beets, cabbage, carrots, onions, sour cream (optional), and of course a generous amount of dill — because Russians love dill! #vegetarian/#vegan

Matzo Ball Chicken Soup $7
The ultimate Jewish chicken soup that truly warms the soul. Matzo balls make this soup extra special because matzo is traditionally eaten once a year for Passover, but Chef Doris likes this style of soup any time of the year.
Cholent and Pampushki $14
Cholent is a traditional dish eaten for the Jewish Sabbath, with countless variations in both the European Ashkenazi tradition, as well as the Middle-Eastern Sephardic kitchen (where it is know as dafina). Essentially a slow-cooked stew of hearty ingredients, it was often made overnight in the leftover heat of the bread oven, since cooking on the Sabbath was forbidden. Doris’ classic recipe features brisket, potatoes, carrots, beans, and barley, and is served with homemade pampushki, Russian-style soft rye-wheat buns. Also available #vegan
Medovik $6
A popular Russian cake that truly gives you a sense of the culture: soft thin cookie layers smeared with a honey cream. This is definitely not a dessert to rush, even if you’re Russian.
Prix Fixe Menu $25
Soup + cholent & bread + dessert
