Anelya

“After years of hearing about this restaurant, I finally made it into Anelya.”

After years of hearing about this restaurant, I finally made it into Anelya. We were seated quickly in their unique dining room. We then had the unique experience of having all our “zakusky” (appetizers) rolls on a cart for our choosing. We picked out the Bread, Trout Roe Tart, Hokkaido Herring, and the Marinated Mushrooms. By far the best item was the Trout Roe Tart which just melts in your mouth. We then finished out the night with the Mushroom Yushka and the Varenyky. All of which was really good and paired with great service. We will back back!

“Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago.”

Came here for a birthday dinner a few weeks ago. We were looking for the honey cake, which was delicious, and were pleasantly surprised that every other item we ordered was equally tasty. This menu is so well thought out and creative, with quality ingredients and excellent flavors. On top of that, the service was spectacular and the prices were very fair for such a wonderful experience. Would recommend Anelya to anyone looking for a quality, comforting, and incredibly pleasant dinner.

“I had a solo dinner at Anelya and it was amazing.”

I had a solo dinner at Anelya and it was amazing! 😋 Started with the egg mayo + trout roe tart 🥚🐟 – creamy, rich, and the perfect bite to kick things off. The poltava halushki (soft, pillowy dumplings) were total comfort food 🥟, and the chilled kefir soup 🥒 was so refreshing in between. The holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls) were tender and full of flavor – easily a highlight. I couldn’t skip a cocktail and went for the Blind Beauty – a horseradish vodka martini 🍸🔥. Bold, smooth, and super unique – I’d come back just for that. Even dining solo, the vibe was cozy and welcoming. The staff made me feel totally at home. Left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

“I stopped by Anelya to have an after work refreshment and a small plate.”

I stopped by Anelya to have an after work refreshment and a small plate. Miska, the bartender, makes beautiful drinks with very unique and fresh ingredients. Have you ever had a beet cocktail? It's delicious! The trout roe tarts were amazing. If you appreciate a mixologist with unique flavors, head to Aneyla. The vibe is great, and you feel the buzz from the kitchen, too. Very friendly staff and general manager!

“An unforgettable Ukrainian dining experience at Anelya.”

An unforgettable Ukrainian dining experience at Anelya! From the very first moment, everything about Anelya was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere, the warm and welcoming service, and the attention to detail made us feel like we were in for something special—and it truly delivered. The food? Simply incredible. Each dish is rooted in traditional Ukrainian cuisine but reimagined with a modern twist that makes every bite feel fresh, unique, and unforgettable. The chef has done a phenomenal job creating rich, complex flavors—layers of sweet, bitter, and sour that play beautifully together in every dish. You can tell there’s true passion and artistry behind the menu. And let’s talk about the cocktails—they’re anything but ordinary. Each one was creative, beautifully presented, and completely unexpected. Just like the food, the drinks reflect a bold, modern take that makes the whole dining experience even more exciting. This was hands down one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend Anelya to anyone looking for a truly unique culinary experience. You won't be disappointed!

“Anelya is an absolute treasure.”

Anelya is an absolute treasure. From the moment you walk in, the warmth and hospitality make you feel right at home. The food is authentic, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor—every dish tells a story. The borscht was rich and comforting, the varenyky were perfection, and the house-infused horilka added a unique touch. You can really feel the love and tradition behind every plate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a genuine Ukrainian dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

“Absolutely loved this place.”

Absolutely loved this place. The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is 100/10—cozy, welcoming, and just really special. We had the lokshyna, which was creamy and full of flavor, the krovyanka that had a great texture and paired so well with the cabbage and apple sauce, and the pampushky—perfectly garlicky and so yummy. Can’t wait to come back!

“I had an amazing dining experience at Anelya.”

I had an amazing dining experience at Anelya! This was my first time trying Ukrainian food, and it completely won me over. I opted for the vegetarian tasting menu for dinner, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. I was also impressed by how many vegetarian options they offer, making it a great spot for plant-based diners. One standout was their horseradish-infused vodka - I was surprised by how much boldness they packed into just a tiny sip! But the real star of the night for me was the mushroom soup - so rich, deep, and full of umami goodness. The ambiance was nice and casual, making for a relaxed meal, though I will say the seating wasn't the most comfortable. That aside, the food and overall experience more than made up for it. I'll definitely be recommending Anelya to friends and will be back for another round soon!

“We celebrated our wedding in Anelya last Saturday.”

We celebrated our wedding in Anelya last Saturday. We and our guests were delighted with the service,food and presentation. Such a unique restaurant of modern Ukrainian cuisine. It is a shame to read the hate comments of Ukrainians who compare it with Tryzub. Are you guys serious ? Unfortunately, Ukrainians have not learned to appreciate and respect things that may differ from their subjective opinion. If the borscht is different from the way you cook it, it doesn't mean it's bad. I highly recommend this restaurant!
