Group of nine celebrated my mother's 93rd birthday. Everything was GREAT! The tables were set and they presented my mother with a slice of cake with a candle. We sang happy birthday and happily enjoyed ourselves.

Go to Babushka's for a quick escape into Soviet-era nostalgia and the greatest hits of Soviet Russian soul-foud! Exceptionally tasty, terrific service, and festive ambiance.

I am Urkranian-Polish, so love this kind of food. They make a very quality meal and for a fair price. Wine pairings outstanding.
