Tsars Table through Red Balloon - Had a lovely tasting experience through Russian cuisine. The Borscht was lovely, as was the house smoked chicken among many highlights. Rosemary and garlic infused vodka was so unusual and... read more tasted like roast Lamb.

Not quite what we envisaged - Service was great, ambience good but it wasn't quite what we had hoped to experience in terms of the cuisine. Not knowing any russian dishes apart from good ol strog,... read more we were hoping to try something beyond just a mixture of things. Standout of the night would be the combination of blinis and caviar.

Wow fantastic flavours - Menulog Delivery GOROHOVIY SOUP Delicious lovely smoked flavour lots but potatoes just thick enough. Blinchiki s Gribami. Wow what a great combination. Delicious umami flavour love it.... read more SOSISKI Delicious Kransky cooked beautifully light crisp skin oozes inside, mashed potatoes perfect accompaniment. Onions nice all mixed in with light port wine sauce. I’ll order this again. SVININO The only let down is that the pork is a little over cooked possibly due to being in the plastic tub. Good over all mix of food.
