Anyone who knows me knows if I go outside the 440 loop I pack a lunch and take a map. Imagine my surprise, when on monday night I found myself accompanied by Mike, Hal and Kim, on Moores Lane at the most fantastic Russian Restaurant. My friend Kim Green has spent some time in Russia and was excited about going. On a quick side note..Kim translated, edited and published a memoir about a WWII Russian woman fighter pilot. The book is riveting and will be released in March. Mirror will host the book release party with Russian inspired food and cocktails. You are all invited. Stay tuned for more details...
Taste of Russia has done a great job with the small interior. It's warm and inviting, but it's the food that really shines. We had the blintzes with salmon caviar, eggplant rolls stuffed with tomatoes and cheese, Smoked Sprats on toast with dill, beef tounge with garlic aioli, potato pancakes, Pelmeni(beef dumplings), Khachapuri (cheese filled bread), Chicken Kiev with buckwheat kasha, cabbage rolls with chilled marinated carrots...you know what, there was more and I'm starting to salivate so I have to stop! Suffice it to say everything was delicious and so reasonably priced it was unbelievable. The cabbage rolls are now my new food craving. As a matter of fact, I've got my map in the car...I wonder if I could beat traffic...
