We had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the hospitality made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious. The fried eggplant salad was outstanding, and the fried potatoes with mushrooms were perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. Thank you for such a warm welcome and a fantastic dining experience. We look forward to coming back soon. Highly recommended!
Fantastic restaurant! We celebrated an 80th birthday with 24 people and the staff were incredible. Every dish was flavorful and fresh! The salads were mouth watering. The meat was tasty and tender. Potatoes w mushrooms are so tasty. The sheep images are interesting. The size of the restaurant is nice for the size of people we had. Great food and people. We will be coming back for our next family event.
I recently visited Sheep by Barashka in Brooklyn and really enjoyed the experience. It has a cozy, slightly “home-style” atmosphere with Caucasian/Russian cuisine — very hearty food, generous portions, and you can genuinely feel that everything is made with care. The dishes were mostly great: the grilled meats were juicy and flavorful, the salads felt fresh, and the hot appetizers and meat dishes stood out the most. It’s a great spot for both a family dinner or a casual night out with friends —
