I usually judge a restaurant by its borscht; if it’s good, then the other dishes won’t disappoint. At Babushka, they serve excellent, rich borscht with the most delicious bread. I also praise the other dishes and the children’s menu. But the price is a bit steep.

I recently visited the Grandma restaurant in Dubai, and I was absolutely delighted! This establishment offers a unique atmosphere that combines the comforts of home and stylish modern design. The interior is decorated with love of detail, and you really feel at home here. The restaurant's menu was pleased with the variety of traditional dishes that remind of real Russian cuisine. I ordered borscht and dumplings — both dishes were great! Borscht was served with tender sour cream and fresh herbs, and the dumplings were simply melting in your mouth. I also can't help but mention the desserts: the honey cake was delicious! The service was top—notch - the waiters were friendly and attentive, always ready to help with the selection and tell about the dishes. The prices are quite reasonable for such a quality of food and service. The Grandma Restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food in a pleasant environment. I will definitely come back here again and recommend it to my friends!

The place is very nice and clean. You can enter from the beach through the doors inside the pavilion and to the right. Russian-speaking hostess. Russian Russian cuisine menu in Russian. We missed the Russian food after the hotel. We took borscht, cheesecakes, tea with sea buckthorn, dumplings, pancakes. Borscht is served with bread and very fatty, delicious sour cream. Everything is delicious, except pancakes (stale breadcrumbs). The 8 lira pies are very small, just micro - we could make more of them, there are no such small ones in Russian cuisine. Russian russians don't speak Russian, but they understand the names of Russian dishes. I didn't take off the star for the pancakes, because everything else was delicious and the service was good. 2 adults and 2 children got 380 dirhams. Everyone liked it.

A small menu, with a good selection of Russian cuisine. Soups are served-the borscht is very tasty, the portions are large, served with black bread and garlic butter. The menu includes cabbage soup, chicken soup, dumplings, salads -herring under a fur coat, olivier, vinaigrette. All the most delicious and recognizable things in Russian cuisine. There is a Russian-speaking hostess at the entrance, the waiters do not speak Russian, but they understand everything perfectly. The interior is in the style of a "Grandmother's apartment", there is a carpet on the wall, interesting utensils throughout the hall. In the evening, hookahs are served on the second floor and Russian karaoke is sung. Atmospheric. It's like Grandma's in the country, and you're partying in her apartment)

A delicious place with Russian cuisine! Everything is delicious here! I personally had breakfast and dinner here, and I was always satisfied with the service and food of this institution) They even have a lot of tinctures here! I would note that I'm not in a big hurry here, as a fussy person, I should only drink tea here, because it's just magical here. I'll be back again!

I visited several times in the spring of 2024, everything was very tasty and the cuisine was very diverse. In the fall, everything changed somehow, there are no menu items, and the chefs didn't try very hard. Complete disappointment.

Delicious food. There is a hookah bar on the second floor. The place is very pleasant and cozy. We are regular guests of this establishment, BUT one day the waitress and the restaurant manager (?) decided that we wanted to cheat them, despite the fact that they themselves offered to pay using QR, where the amount in the system was different from a paper receipt. We didn't notice it, as usual, we paid and left. The manager caught up with us and starts talking as if we were skaters who ate more than they could afford. To the question "why is this happening and why didn't they check in advance?", the manager is rude to me: "How do I know?". But actually, who should know?? The fallout remained because we did not receive any apologies.

On Instagram, the restaurant's website shows the opening hours from 11 a.m., when I arrived at 11:20 a.m., the waiters were just laying out the dishes and napkins. I wanted to have breakfast, but they told me the kitchen starts at 12 a.m., why specify the opening hours from 11 a.m.???? To come and wait for the kitchen to open for an hour? Or drink tea for an hour? An abominably ruined morning and wasted time. I don't recommend it.

They cook deliciously, but for a long time. At 7 p.m. we were alone in the restaurant (why is it empty?- maybe it's not the season...?), waiting for dishes for 20 minutes is a disaster! The waiters are a Russian girl; politeness, cleanliness, everything is in order. Price tag: well, how's the neighborhood…

Delicious, a good place to feed Russian children with their usual food. If you order pies, be prepared that they are not the standard expected size of a Russian pie, but about 3-4 cm in length. We decided that these are pie samples)

After midnight, or rather in the dead of night, from two to three in the morning local time, the UAE is often flooded by local sheikhs in white dresses. They definitely don't need borscht along the way. Watched from rotana

The price tag is not small. The borscht was obviously not prepared by our chef.(minus an asterisk) Olivier is delicious, despite the fact that it's certainly not quite the same. Tarragon is normal. The children liked the dumplings and noodles.

Such a sincere restaurant.. Unexpectedly, after a hot beach, which is 5 meters from the building, you get into the coolness, at the entrance the girls in the style of "a la russe" are dressed in interesting sundresses. The box is blue from our post office.. The menu was lured by okroshka on kvass or kefir.. The service is conducted by attentive staff, and several clarification questions arose during the first visit. Everything was decided super quickly, the manager came up, the staff REALLY TRIES, THEY GIVE THEIR BEST. You can't play it.. The names on the menu of dishes are funny.. From memory, it's like "Petersburg tongue with shrimp sauce" but everything is delicious!! The okroshka was served as a kind of delicacy, its composition is separate, with you or kefir or kvass is topped up, so solemnly.. The company came in, EVERYONE WAS SATISFIED. PRICE IS ALSO NOT COSMIC. THE REAL ONE. I HEARTILY RECOMMEND IT.

The first thing that raised questions was a completely empty hall, there were no people, all the waiters were free, despite the fact that it was dinner time and Ramadan. There were plenty of staff, most of them were Russians. Everyone saw that we were Russian speakers, but they still sent a foreign speaker. He took the order incorrectly, although we speak English clearly and brought the wrong thing at all. We ordered several dishes, and of all of them, only olivier can be attributed to the "well, it's still nothing like that" category. The chefs in the kitchen do not know Russian cuisine for sure and some spicy or bitter spices were added to the dishes, which completely spoiled the taste and the dishes became disgusting. I do not recommend this place to visit.

A sincere Russian-speaking restaurant with a lot of people. The cuisine is Russian, CIS. The size of the dishes is medium or small. There are no views or windows, he's inside. The service is slow and not the most attentive, because there are a lot of people. But polite. An animator - buffoon is organized for children If you miss your native language, go there

The restaurant has a low culinary level, the food is mediocre, but the waiters are pleasant. You can go once, but it's better not to bring foreigners here, to introduce Russian cuisine. Olivier is not delicious, the dumplings are not homemade, the soup is diced, the pies are tiny, all that.. nothing. Well, the chanson.
