Babuschkas Kitchen in Dortmund

A super chic, original little gem in Dortmund's Weststadt district. Dining and drinking options are available both inside and outside. The Ukrainian dishes are simply top-notch and absolutely delicious.

Exceptionally delicious food, and the selection is really good. A nice little restaurant in a lovely neighborhood, worth a stroll afterward. ☺️ The vareniki are especially recommended.

There were hardly any staff, which led to long waits. The portions were small. I wasn't impressed.

First of all, we want to highlight the warm, cozy and sometimes characteristically traditional ambience of this restaurant. Cozy furnished with a lot of taste. As a starter (which deliberately came with the main course because we were very hungry) we ordered the blinis with smoked salmon. The dough is very tasty, also a perfect combination of cream cheese, smoked salmon and the other components. No component unnecessarily drowned out the other, but harmonized very well. The only drawback? Quite a manageable portion and eaten off the plate very quickly. However, let's get to the main course. We once ordered the Vareniki Lisnik and the Vareniki in Parmesan sauce. Both came in a fried version. A bit unusual for me as I grew up with the boiled or steamed version. However, it didn't result in any loss of taste or anything like that. Very generous and filling portion. The sauce harmonized perfectly with the spring onions and the soy bacon (for once I chose the meat-free alternative and didn't regret it at all). What was a little negative was the fact that there was no salt and pepper at the table, as in my opinion the main courses were a little less seasoned. As always, this is a subjective opinion. The cocoa was extremely good. The Medovik (honey cake?) was rather average and didn't really taste bad. All the cakes looked fantastic. So the quality is actually great, but I wouldn't order it again because it's just not my thing. The highlight was clearly the Sirniki. Perfectly prepared. Wonderfully crispy on the surface and still nice and juicy on the inside. Extremely good, I can only recommend it to everyone. Worked well with the milkmaid sauce and jam. Would I visit this restaurant again? Definitely. All in all a very successful concept of traditional Ukrainian (sometimes Georgian) cuisine with a modern twist.

I was very satisfied. I had a lot of fun spending time here.

Very tasty and the tasting platter is highly recommended. Fair prices for good food. Nice staff, we felt very comfortable there and had a nice evening with friends. We ate vegetarian food and probably got our money's worth.

Super tasty food and very nice service

On Sunday I bought a Medovik cake that was incredibly delicious! All guests enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the delicious food and great work – even on Sunday. I would happily recommend this Ukrainian restaurant and food 🥰 #SupportUkraine 🇺🇦

Everything here was absolutely delicious, and our server was very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks arrived very quickly. I would recommend making a reservation, as it gets quite busy after 6:00 PM. We'll definitely be back!

Very friendly staff and delicious traditional food!

Even if it is difficult to pronounce the name of the dish, it is tasty and attractively prepared. The service was friendly and quick.

Our first time and completely thrilled. The chicken is super tender and the bed of vegetables tastes just right. Here you can see “Georgian Chakhobili”. I recommend reserving a table in good time.

Service wasn't good. It must have taken longer than 60 minutes for the food to arrive. The food was also still cold. The taste was quite good

If it wasn't fully occupied, the ordered food was only served after 40 minutes. Not a treat for the palate and very far from the authentic taste. Canned mushrooms instead of fresh ones. Half of the dishes were served lukewarm to cold. Vareniki were OK to good.

cosy place, friendly staff, and most of all the food. Almost better than home.

An absolute recommendation! Everything is homemade and prepared with a lot of love.

Welcoming, small and cozy café.

Great alternative to the “Italian” Ukrainian cuisine is something unusual to kidnap your friends. Nice staff and a great atmosphere. The menu has decreased a bit and the kitchen closes quite early (mine it was 8 p.m.) which is why I deducted a star. From vegan to omni everyone will be happy. Parking is the biggest challenge. It's better to arrive here by public transport, bicycle or have the patience to find a parking space.

Very tasty food, really cozy shop - absolute recommendation!

It was good, but the shish kebab was served cold for almost €30,... Expensive,...

Very nice restaurant with a great menu and very nice attentive service. There is something for every hunger and also a large selection of vegetarian and sometimes vegan dishes.

Delicious, highly recommended. But I recommend making a reservation. Very friendly staff

Cute shop with authentic charm. The food was great and the waiter was very engaging and friendly. Unfortunately, that cannot be said about his colleague behind the bar. The whole time she just stood bored on her cell phone and preferred to write voice messages rather than let her eyes wander over the guests. My companion would have liked to have had a drink after the excellent meal, but they were completely ignored. SHAME!

Good Ukrainian restaurant at very fair prices

Very cozy atmosphere, friendly, warm service and delicious Ukrainian dishes.

The food is really very good, and what's particularly positive is that all the pasta is made in-house and fresh vegetables are used. The service was very friendly. The price for the homemade lemonade is ambitious and I found the quality to be so-so. Incidentally, you sit very closely in what is otherwise a nice ambience.

The food was delicious and you can use the photos on the online menu to whet your appetite in advance, or see on site what is hidden behind the individual titles. The menu is largely self-explanatory and the two super nice service staff would certainly have explained everything.

Nur 2 Stunden Zeitfenster werden zur Reservierung angeboten. Die Plötze am Eingang sind ungemütlich und extrem kalt. Ständig gehen Leute rein und raus - bei Minustemperaturen nicht angenehm. Es gibt Decken, aber wer ein schönes Essen mit Freunden erwartet und nicht gerade günstige Preise in Kauf nimmt, ist enttäuscht und kommt so schnell nicht mehr zurück. Das Essen war lecker - aber ist es woanders auch.

My boyfriend wanted to give me a wonderful surprise in the form of lunch at a Ukrainian restaurant. And this surprise exceeded all my expectations. Despite the fact that we drove 80 kilometers on purpose, it was worth it. And for me, a person who came from Ukraine, visiting this restaurant and immersing myself in its culture, feeling its tastes and immersing myself in the atmosphere that is familiar to me, it was like icing on the cake. My boyfriend also enjoyed the dishes. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The service staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and homey. But for everyone who wants to come to this institution, I advise you to reserve a table in advance. Because it is always crowded. We will definitely come back here again together with our Ukrainian friends. And not only with Ukrainian ones 😍

Simply great. Service was super nice and accommodating Food super duper delicious

Nice service and very, very tasty food!! The vareniki are delicious!

A small cozy restaurant with Ukrainian cuisine. I had a warm main meal and dessert here. Both were very tasty.

Quite a nice and cozy establishment. Few tables. Portions were very large and filling. Donuts are very tasty. But the borscht was quite spicy.

Very tasty food. I thought the portion was large. The employees are super nice and friendly. Everything is correct.

I ordered here. The offering is wide-ranging and appealing. Vareniki, blinys and soups taste fresh, aromatic and multi-faceted. The food actually arrived warm and tightly packed in trays, which doesn't always work with soups. Still 4/5* I find the prices to be quite high in some cases. The food is of high quality, the portions are reasonable, which is something you should definitely appreciate, but almost €20 for dumplings with potatoes, quark and onions is a pain.

Super excited about this great kitchen! Super tasty, lots of it vegetarian and vegan, even gluten-free. Super dear, nice service and great ambience.

Sooo special, uniquely different, an event for all the senses! 100% warmth from the staff, great stylish ambience, and surprising, unfamiliar, extraordinary taste explosions in the food. ...to be honest, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing. Anyway, absolutely recommended! BarBara

We were there today - very satisfied. We'll definitely come back!

Napoleon is delicious. Karuchino is super.

So far I've only been there once. However, the store impressed me on my first visit. When I saw the other guests' dishes, I was unsure whether I would even be able to decide. In the end I decided on the shish kebab. I also had a yeast garlic bread with it. The food is incredibly good. I would even add a 6th star to it. The service was also very attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere was very cozy. All in all, I can recommend this store to everyone.

Nice atmosphere, but it's very cramped. The staff were very friendly and accommodating 👍🏼 The bottom line is that it's still a disappointment because the price-performance ratio isn't right. For almost 30€ an average mini shash see picture and a few potatoes is really bad. There's no way an adult will get enough here. The record was okay. It's just a plate of pickled food. Nothing special. Also almost 30€ 💪🏼 and compote 250ml 6€ ☠️😂

We were in the babushka for the first time. Very friendly staff and well-designed location. Despite many table reservations, a table was found for us. The food surprised us positively. It tasted very tasty.

Super delicious food, from starters to dessert we enjoyed everything very much. The furnishings were very comfortable, quite small and cramped, but that wasn't a negative at all. The waiters were also very attentive, happy to explain and help with the (really difficult!) decision. Gladly again!

Unbeschreiblich köstlich, unglaublich herzlich! Das Beste aus zwei Welten - ukrainische und georgische Spezialitäten mit einem modernen Twist. Ich beneide Dortmund um das tolle Restaurant :)

Delicious food, but the service is usually overwhelmed. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it for ordering via Lieferando.

The food was really delicious, the portions were okay. In the end I tackled the dessert, but I'm also someone with a good appetite. However, the price is a little high given the location, so I "only" give it 4 stars.

Best restaurant in town. Definitely a highlight in Bochum.

Very tasty Ukrainian cuisine. Pleasant waitresses who were a bit stressed due to a lack of staff. After 1.5 hours, the seating was now uncomfortable. The location is centrally located in the Kreuzviertel.

Always very tasty & super friendly service!

Food is delicious and also diverse. The portions are rather too small for me.

It was my first time eating here and I was very impressed. Class service. Great shop with really good food. Thanks for that

Really nice food and staff was super friendly too!

Soooo delicious meals, right around the corner. Sandwiches for breakfast that look and taste great. After work in the summer, have a typical Ukrainian kefir soup on the cozy terrace. Unconventionally lovingly furnished. As in all stores, there is a shortage of staff, so you just wait 5 minutes longer (but really no more). But it tastes twice as tasty.

The food was very tasty and seemed authentic. A taste that is not available on every corner. I liked the quality of the dishes. In addition to the main menu, there were some daily specials. Unusual and delicious!

This place is so wunderbar. The food is amazing. It feels so warm. Blinis and borscht and brunch oh my! The Babuschka!

Really nice restaurant! The food tasted excellent and was surprisingly cheap. The waitresses were very friendly, but the volume was a bit too much for us village children. ☺️

Very friendly atmosphere. Nice service and very tasty food ☺️... Non-alcoholic drinks and alcohol.

Very good home cooking. Nice service

My first but not last time! I was incredibly positively surprised by the taste. Vareniki Lisnik was excellent and my blackheads were also very impressed with their dishes. The service was attentive and came regularly. The ambience is okay, there are options to sit inside and outside. However, the parking situation is a nightmare - you have to allow a lot of time to find a parking space in the surrounding area.

Super delicious food and nice service

It was my first time at Babuschkas Kitchen and I absolutely loved the food and the friendly, attentive service! It won't be the last visit!

Super tasty and the waitresses are always in a good mood and accommodating

Great restaurant with Ukrainian specialties

Das Essen war lecker, wie fanden die Portionen richtig klein für die Preise. Die Bedienung war freundlich und sitzen war auch gemütlich.

Menu something different. Prices higher level. Some vegetarian. Cauliflower dish delicious - portion clear. Nice ambience.

Such a really nice and cute restaurant. You are greeted very nicely, you are helped if you have any questions and you actually get different recommendations every time. Great, please keep it up 😊

Delicious food and very friendly and attentive service :-)

It was delicious and very nice staff 👍

Оставило очень двойственное впечатление. Во-первых блюда, которые написаны, что это гриль, на самом деле жаренные или запечённые. Допустим, люля кебаб, есть просто нельзя, жаренные котлеты невысокого качества, хотя нам клятвенно было обещано, что это гриль. Котлета по -киевски, ну есть можно, но второй раз не закажу. И что ещё вообще не съедобные, так это чахохбили! Это борщ с сырыми кружочками кабачков и три куска куриной грудка: ни приправ, ни вкуса. Конечно, второй раз буду обходить стороной этот ресторан, не смотря на весёлую вывеску

Everything is very delicious! Interesting serving of fried dumplings We took a Kiev cutlet and fried dumplings with potatoes and Parmesan sauce A check for more than two people is 58€ - this is two dishes, two cakes and 2 compotes The staff is very nice, in the evenings it is better to reserve a table

I absolutely loved my visit to this restaurant! The staff is just great – incredibly friendly and warm. You immediately feel welcome and in good hands. The food was also a highlight: very fresh and tasted excellent. I can highly recommend this restaurant

Great brunch! Really tasty and plentiful! Wasn't the last time ❤️

We were able to sit outside thanks to the nice weather, but it was also very nicely decorated inside. The service was very friendly, but could be a little more attentive. The food was very tasty, but you also have to like garlic (I love it). There were also some vegetarian dishes. Unfortunately the prices are really high.

We were here for dinner. The waitresses were all friendly, but not as attentive as we would have liked. Unfortunately, we had to wait quite a long 50 minutes for our food and empty drinks were not available either. Although it was probably the waitress's first day, we would have liked a colleague to have a look at it too. The taste of the food was mixed. Some were very tasty, others we didn't like so much. Above all, a lot of things were too heavily seasoned with garlic for us. But of course everyone may feel differently.

When we visited last week, the restaurant was very busy. We were able to sit outside due to the good weather. The window front, at least in the front part of the restaurant, can also be opened. At the back, the heat was defied with a fan. The restaurant is nicely designed. Everything is a little cramped, but it invites you to linger. The menu mainly offers dishes typical of the country (some of which may be reinterpreted). Overall, however, much of the menu is in the higher-priced segment. The food was good, but overall it didn't blow me away. Overall, everything was very tasty. There was definitely too much garlic in some parts of the dish. I still tasted it even after brushing my teeth three times. It seems as if everything was handmade, which at least partially justifies the high price. The service, on the other hand, was rather mediocre. Although very friendly, at least our service person wasn't the fastest and a little inattentive. No attention was paid to empty drinks, so we ordered more ourselves at the counter. A lot of time passed between ordering and the time the food reached us. Even people who ordered clearly after us got their food before us. Maybe we had been forgotten. None of this is an issue, but in my opinion, communication should be brief here if it takes an unusually long time so that the guest doesn't get the feeling that they have been forgotten. In the end I end up with 3.5 stars in the overall rating. Accordingly, I round up to 4 stars.

Matryoshka dolls on the facade? Is the samovar in the photos really Ukrainian cuisine? for some reason, great doubts arose regarding the desire to visit this institution

I've been there twice... The food was very good, the service was very accommodating and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Recommended.

Beautiful little restaurant with an outdoor area in the Kreuzviertel. The food was very tasty, beautifully prepared and there is also a large selection for vegetarians and vegans. We will be back definitely.

I recently visited Babuschkas Kitchen and unfortunately had a mixed experience. The cappuccino was quite disappointing; the foam was watery and warm, resulting in the coffee being hot and almost undrinkable. On a brighter note, the pancakes were delicious, although the portion size was rather small. The decoration, however, was very appealing. One major downside was the wait time. We had to wait for 50 minutes for our order to arrive. Despite not complaining about the delay, the staff were very courteous and apologized for the inconvenience. To make up for it, they kindly offered us free energy drinks, which was a thoughtful gesture.

Cute little restaurant with fantastic food 🫶

Went there recently and can only recommend the store. The only thing that could be improved is to serve a little more smetana with the pelmeni. Otherwise everything was excellent.

a nice restaurant with Ukrainian cuisine. A great change, very painful food. A good price-performance ratio.

Far too expensive prices for a spies with potatoes almost €28 is wucha or for two chebureki €18 is really steep you should write how much a portion contains. Once and never again

The ideal place in the Kreuzviertel to ring in the end of the day with a delicious meal. It is small and simply incredibly comfortably furnished. The service is very nice and attentive and the food is simply delicious 😊

Cozy, small restaurant with great cuisine!

We were there for the second time today, and again the service was very nice and the food was great.

The food was great and something different. However, no draft beer, although there is a facility. When they clean up even though there are still customers there, it's not comfortable either, even though the conditions were very friendly. The chairs are extremely uncomfortable.

I eat there occasionally and every dish is perfect. The service is always friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately my opinion won't be flattering, but first a small plus: the waitress was friendly and smiling, and the drinks were fine. However, this is where my words of praise end. The food was very bad. I don't know where the good reviews come from - maybe from people who don't eat in good restaurants. The dishes were really bad. We paid 80 euros and left with a bad feeling. The prices are absolutely unreasonable for the quality of the dishes. I will definitely not recommend this restaurant and will not come back. This is my first negative restaurant review and we eat out often as a family. We expected tasty Ukrainian cuisine, but it was very disappointing.

Great food and a good change from Italian, Indian, etc. Plus a cozy atmosphere. The service was also extremely courteous and personable.

Price performance ratio is not right.

Great load! We haven't tasted food as good as it did at babuschka in a long time Great 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The food was great!! Everything fresh, delicious flavors and lots of vegetables. Anyone new to Ukrainian/Georgian cuisine should definitely try this. We will definitely come back!

Great team, friendly employees. Saturday around 7:30 p.m. understaffed. It's worth a visit. GLADLY AGAIN.

The staff is pleasant, the food is delicious, there are no complaints about it. But if you are already positioning yourself as a Ukrainian restaurant, then be attentive to the details. Violins, samovars and matryoshka dolls on the shelves and plates on the walls are not authentic for a Ukrainian home. I still had the feeling that I was in a Russian restaurant. I will not go there again.

Very tasty food, the service was super nice... gladly again

Nice restaurant with delicious food. Unfortunately, the prices have now risen quite considerably. The service is sometimes a bit blind.

The food and the local were great 🤩Price/performance is also great! I recommend everyone to reserve in advance! Despite no reservations and being fully booked, we accommodated ourselves and were served very well. In any case, go there more often from now on!

Very tasty, great service, nice atmosphere.

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere in the Kreuzviertel
