Nadezhda

Food was very good, but it took about 45-60 minutes (no exaggeration) for any of the main course to hit the table. We sat in a large group so we gave them some grace but we were all tired and full by the time everything arrived. Besides that the owner is a sweet lady and the staff were accommodating.

I’ve been driving past this restaurant forever, wondering if it was worth stopping. Today I finally decided to try it—bold of me, I know. Unfortunately, the chaos began at the door. When I walked in, a few employees approached me… and by “approached,” I mean drifted over like NPCs with low battery. And guess what? One of them was so rude it was almost impressive. I couldn’t hear him because the music was blasting like they were hosting a rave in the kitchen, and instead of, you know, speaking like a normal human, he hit me with a full “I DON’T HEAR YOU” attitude—like my mere existence offended him. The negative energy was strong. Honestly felt like the guy didn’t like my face, which is wild because I personally think your face is doing the best it can. Anyway, onto the food. I ordered t

Ordered Lyulya Kebab via UberEats. Lyulya is red. It’s totally raw inside. It’s not safe to consume like this food. Called to explain the girl on the phone started arguing with me that it can’t be raw. Told her I can send a picture she said no it’s ok just go ahead and order something else and we will give lyulya for credit. Speechless…

Russian restaurant in Forest Hills. They said it’s Russian but I think it’s more like Eastern European. It’s nice restaurant with plenty of space inside for just to hang out with friends and family or make any big pastries for any occasions. A lot of seating outside as well. Food and n general was good. Salad Nadegda was not to satisfying $11 for small plate of spinach some avocado cherry tomatoes that was not even cut and carrots just not what I expected I think just fresh salad would be better and cheaper. Lamb kebab I ordered with no bone but for some reason some of them still have some. Pelmeny meat didn’t taste fresh. And I don’t know why they charge me 15% service charge just for two people if that’s a tip per would tip much more but other wise what that charge for?

Food was great. Enjoyed everything except French salad The following dishes were very good: Lagman was delicious Fried potatoes with mushrooms Kompot homemade very good Lyulya kebab, beef kebab Wrapped it up with freshly brewed black tea and medovik Service was great - very attentative, plesant
