Masha and the Bear

Stopped in on 12/12/24 for a quick lunch while at work. I was craving something light and fresh but wanted to stick to local and close to work. I found Masha's on yelp of course and it looked perfect. I can tell you I made the correct choice. The service was so welcoming, the food hit exactly all the right spots I needed it to. I left full but not heavy and just incredibly pleased with the whole experience. I was given a bottle of water and some warm bread and butter when seated as well. I saw so many delicious looking dishes I want to go back and try! This time around I ordered a spinach salad that had raspberries, goat cheese, pine nuts and a raspberry dressing on it and a cup of chicken noodle soup as well.

We made reservations since many friends said this place got busy. The night we went there was only two other parties seated and already eating. The person working behind the counter was also our waitress. She was kind and accommodating. Jazzy music floated through the air while we browsed the menu. We opted in for a Greek salad but they ended up bringing a summer salad. No biggy. It was still delicious. I ordered the Hinkali which was a meat filled dumpling. On first bite it reminded me of Xiaolongbao (小籠包) for all you dim sum aficionados. A bit on the pricey side but I could definitely tell it was homemade. The entire experience was a solid and good dinner!

I can't believe I kept missing reviews for this wonderful place. Masha and the Bear offers hearty Eastern European meals. They have been around pre-covid. I'm so glad their business survived post-covid. When I lived in Aurora I dined here a number of times. I also stopped by not long ago for bakery to take home. Their peach cookie is delicious!Earlier tonight I stopped by because I was doing business in Aurora. Afterwards, I couldn't resist the temptation to stop here. I ordered a few meals to take home. One of those meals was the Olivier Salad and the other was Beef Stroganoff with mashed potatoes. Both delicious meals! That Olivier Salad is great!I loved the warm hospitality I received. My waitress was very friendly. She offered for me to sit down at one of their tables until my food was ready. It was great to hear a Slavic or Eastern European language spoken by patrons while I waited for my food. The interior of this place is so charming. I love all the art decor on the walls and other decorations. It provides you with stepping into a portal to another country. Again, love the staff. I've always had nice interactions with them. Think I'll stop by here again soon!This is one of my favorite ethnic restaurants in the metro Denver area. If you haven't been, I highly recommend!

I stopped by and got takeout. This cafe is cute! It was busy around 5 with takeout orders but no one was eating in at that time. It's small (maybe five tables) but clearly efficient. There are a number of gluten free and vegetarian options, including several soups, salads and entrees. I did a big takeout order but the price was very reasonable and the portions very generous. Two entree sized salads and two entrees was $61 and we have several meals of leftovers. I'll definitely return.

By no means am I an expert on Russian food, so I am not one to ask about this being the best, authentic, etc. What I will say is eating here is getting really, really good and tasty food. This is really a quiet, little restaurant in a non-discript mini-mall intersection, but you can tell they are putting a care into what they make. The recommended soup with chunks of meat, with carrots, celery, onions, pickles and olives is worth the price of admission. And don't leave without a piece of honey cake.

Good food from people who live in the area. The woman we spoke to is from Ukraine. This is a great way to try authentic food from the region. We have borscht, potato fritters, meat fritters, and cabbage rolls. Everything is very good.Vegetarian Uses: They have some vegetarian uses. All of his dishes are traditionally vegetarian, with vegetarian versions of his meat dishes as an alternative.Weight loss: They have gluten- and dairy-free power.Parking: This is a strip mall, lots of spaceWheelchair access: It's all on one level, and the tables are all normal tables with chairs. It should be easy to move the building site.

Overall nice place and the food was good, but not great. The cabbage meat rolls were ok, but the honey cake was great. Would try again, but would try something else.

Classic Russian salads appealed to Americans in the group and hit all the right notes for our Russian foodie as well. The crab salad and plov with a hint of Sweetness were my favorites. The service was totally accommodating (dividing borchst into ramikins so everyone could sample it) and totally unobtrusive. Silverware was set on the table in a stand, anyone who has eaten in a Russian home recognizes that as a true mark of authenticity. in addition to my highest recommendedation, I would insist - - don't forget dessert!!!

Very cool little restaurant serving Ukrainian food - apps, salads, soups, entrees, and desserts. We ordered something from every category. Delicious beyond belief! We forgot to take photos because we were living in the glorious moment. My wife enjoyed the beet salad the most. My favorite was a meaty soup with lots of vegetables. The Ukrainian server has family in Ukraine that, of course, she is very worried about. She's efficient and very sweet. Try the kvass drink!

This little cafe was a delicious surprise! Not much to look at and you might be tempted to leave - but don't! It's clean and the people were nice. Stay and enjoy the excellent, and I mean excellent stuffed cabbage - with its huge rolls filled with meat and topped with sauce. So good, like my babushka used to make The steak stroganoff filled half the plate with tender, mouth watering steak in sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking of it! Too it all off with the strawberry crepes (you get two) and you'll rest full and happy
