Babushkas - Hyde Park - Tampa (FL)

5 /5 Cat C: this is one of my absolute favorite places to eat. i usually get it to go, but the atmosphere is calm and welcoming.plus, the staff are attentive and will make sure you are happy with your food & service! i’ve had the borscht (10/10, always!), sol yanka (10/10, so delicious and warming), both siberian and lamb pelmeni (both are SO GOOD!!) but only had them as pan fried, their house-made kvass (incredible flavor, perfectly bubbly!), and their house-made dried apricot vodka. i genuinely have zero complaints about babushka’s, everything i have had the pleasure of eating here has far exceeded my expectations and i am always looking forward to come back when i’m in the area!

5 /5 Tammy Engel: Been wanting to try Babushkas for a while, and today was finally the day! Let me just say that it was an excellent first impression. Antoine gave us perfect service, such a gentleman and attentive. The food was delicious, and my kids enjoyed it all. We also tried the charcuterie board, and I highly recommend that, everything on it was great. My husband and sons wanted to try a bit of everything, so they ordered the two sampler style meals. I tried the Chicken Kyiv, and it was just awesome... if not for the apps (which included the Siberian Dumplings), I would have finished the plate. Overall, yes, we will absolutely go back! Zero complaints about our experience, start to finish, thanks to Antoine and the amazing meal. Dont skip this restaurant, try it yourself!

5 /5 Anna: We had a great experience! The atmosphere feels cozy and authentic, and the food definitely stands out. We ordered borsh, lamb rack, plov with lamb, the sampler platter, and the shashlik platter — everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The house-infused vodka was also a fun touch and paired really well with the meal. Overall, it’s a lovely spot if you’re craving traditional Eastern European dishes made with care. Would definitely come back!

5 /5 Will Kuhlman: We always try to stop here when we are in the area. Great place with interesting and tasty options. We always get the horseradish vodka shot- why? Because you just have to! The borscht, khachapiri pie (cheesy bread with dill sauce) and mushroom bliny (mushroom crepe) are authentic and awesome! I must mention the staff they are fantastic and so grateful for your business

5 /5 Kia Early: Previous to my dining experience at Babushka’s, I knew nothing of Russian cuisine and went in a little nervous. Boy was I wrong! The food here is so good! The waiter we had was very kind and knowledgeable. If you’ve never tried Russian food before or just want to try something new, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the experience was very nice! 8/10 - only because I don’t eat everything we ordered but everyone seemed please, thank you Babuska’s!
