Kalinka Russian Cuisine

Food as always delicious and tasty, especially love borscht soup (beetroot soup). They always serve a bread with mashed eggplant ( love it). I'd like to thank personally Aidana for the incredible service. Very cozy place to have your brunch, and I should mention the cleanness as well.

Came here for lunch. Ordered their black bread with spread, the chicken blintzes, the fried beef pelmeni and an Armenian coffee. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't very tasty or flavorful. The coffee wasn't strong either. I found this place through other yelp reviews. Sometime ago a friend hosted their birthday at a Russian restaurant in the WeHo area, I thought this place would be better but it wasn't. On the other hand, the place was well decorated, clean, and spacious. Good background music and the service not very warm or welcoming, it was just okay.

Decided to give this place another chance. Simply wanted some dumplings and it was the only place open nearby. For $15 you'll get a portion so small it won't even be enough to feed a kid. I mean come on guys, you don't make them from scratch you boil them and it is not even half of the package. Greedy place, won't recommend

Have been expanding my palette so I wanted to try authentic Russian food, and I have no regrets. The service was standard, they were a bit cold and short, the setting is a bit odd but comfy, but the food makes it for it. I really enjoyed the borscht and multiple dumplings we tried

This is a small medium restaurant quaintly hidden in a tiny outlet mall. They have 8 wooden tables that seat 4. The decor is very pretty and definitely well adorned. The place looks like personal home of a wealthy russian home owner in the old country. The food is a bit pricey and they charge for bread but it is worthwhile to try. The food is fresh, natural, and seems authentic. They invested good money into the ingredients. The waiters are cordial, not too outspoken but show you they are accommodating in silent manners. Dressed in jeans and turtleneck with apron. Best way to describe it is fresh, hearty, and home sweet home feeling. A good place to have quiet brunch with a few friends. They have two bathrooms. They have baby high chair stools. They serve russian alcohol and play quiet russian music. They have a/c. They accept cash/credit/apple pay only. Yes vegetarian options. Yes both indoor and outdoor dining. Limited parking( small outlet mall -10 spots) and their is handicapped parking. You can find a spot but there is always street parking.

- All we took: herring under a fur coat, mors, black bread with lard, vinaigrette, dumplings with potatoes.- I can say absolutely everything I liked.- The girls waiters are great.- I'll come again

Took my husband and my mom to try this place and we loved all the food. I wish I could take a big batch of the brown bread and soups home

This place is so delicious!!! Great if you're looking for authentic Russian dishes mainly catering to the meat and potatoes palate. I love their baked whole Seabass which is huge for the price. It's so juicy and tender that the fish falls off the bone. I believe the seasoning is primarily bay leaves and tomato which gives it a fragrant flavor that is to die for!!! The beef stroganoff is also meaty and flavorful. My friends husband is German and the herring with potatoes is his favorite. I also like the grandma style pan fried sausage dish which is pretty basic but still delicious and filling. The Chicken Kotleti is like a meatball with herb seasoning and it's also juicy and flavorful. The Cornish game hen is also flavorful and crunchy to the bite. As for dessert the Blintzes with Preserves is like a crepe and very sweet. I prefer the crepe cake or Blintzes cake because it's layered with sweet cream. Perfect ending to a meaty and salty meal. Highly recommend Kalinka for your Russian food cravings!!!

Go to eat here! Great and tasty food! Amazing environment! Fast and really good service! Love itt ))

The food was not fresh. The servings were skimpy, and the price was too expensive.I won't return,
