The parsnip is highly recommended! The eggplant boat was fantastic. 🤤

Excellent food and even better waiter Martin. Thank you, we will definitely be back ☺️

Great experience with awasome waiter Martin. Thank you for amazing day ❤️

I couldn't have asked for better service 👏🏻 Mr. Martin is a great waiter 👍

I love this restaurant. The next time I come to Berlin, I definitely have to go here.

Very professional, nice staff. Martin, thank you for the excellent service

The food is excellent, but most of all they have amazing employees. We are very happy to return especially to Martin Hranáč. You can tell who does the work with heart! We will definitely be happy to come back

Hello, I was very pleasantly surprised by the excellent food (breakfast) and service. I can only recommend this restaurant, thank you

Great staff especially awesome service

Your restaurant is fantastic, especially the service and the waiter Martin. He was helpful, smiled and thanks to him things lived there. We will definitely come back because of the good food and the environment. And we hope the waiter Martin will be there because he is amazing.

Mr. Hranáč is a professional and has a great sense of humor. A great waiter who mostly smiles and that is important for customer satisfaction. Thank you, the food was great and the service too 💕👍

I return to the restaurant not only because of the great food, but mainly because of the wonderful and helpful Martin Hranáč, who will take care of all my requests☺️

Best restaurant in Berlin! Martin is a very nice employee with a lot of humor and a smile on his face!

I only knew pelmeni from my colleague's stories. At your place I discovered how great they taste. Nice restaurant, professional staff, including waiter Martin. Thank you ❤️

The food is great, but above all they have wonderful employees, especially the always cheerful and smiling Martin Hranáč. You can tell who does the work with heart! He recommends great food and is a professional.

I can only recommend. A restaurant in a beautiful location. It is tastefully furnished. We enjoyed the meal very much. We appreciate the Czech waiter who took excellent care of us and created a wonderful Sunday atmosphere. We are definitely not here for the last time.

Amazing atmosphere and perfect staff. We love to come back here. ☀️

Martin Hranáč the best waiter. 🌞Have a nice day. 🌞🍀❤️

Martin - the best service I have ever experienced 🤩

Marťas is the best waiter and the biggest fighter ❤️

Both the service and the food was great!

Professional service provided by the waiter Martin. I recommend 👍

Perfection❤ waiter Martin, helpful, kind, helpful, smiling, a guy with his heart in the right place❤ food luxurious🥰 we will definitely be back

I have to say that Mr. Martin Hranáč is a really hard worker, he works like clockwork and also with a smile and kindness!! I haven't experienced service from him anywhere for a long time!! So the service is absolutely perfect, we return to this restaurant not only because of the good food, but mainly because of it.

Great service by Mr. Martin and 🔝 food.

The most professional service Mr. Martin ♥️.

Best restaurant in Berlín! And best Martin!

The restaurant's waiter, Martin Hranáč, is friendly, patient, and helpful. Mr. Hranáč's absence did not contribute to a positive review. Ing. Lenka Pillerova

The best service in the restaurant Martin Hranáč☝🏻👌🏼❤️

The best waiter Mr. Martin. Thanks to him, I learned about the restaurant 😊

Martin is the best waiter ever!!!! 🍀♥️

The best waiter is Martin Hranáč

Everything perfect, very kind and positive service. 🤗

Nice and helpful service. Thank you💯

Very tasty breakfasts, friendly staff, especially Martin Granach, a professional in his field😘 We will definitely come back

I had amazing experience here. The food is pricy, but it’s worthy. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere reminds of my favorite restaurant in Saint-Petersburg.

I found it quite expensive for a meal. Russian touch, as the name suggests. The borsch seems to be very popular. However, the location is very nice.

Incredibly delicious food. The service was really good and very attentive! The atmosphere was cozy.

Always nice, always tasty. Easygoing but whenever you want to have good Eastern Europe food. I go here:)

This restaurant is so good that we went twice in one weekend! The pelmeni was divine, and the Georgian white wine was absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding, the staff took really good care of us. 10/10!

We had the Prazdnik menu, without exception everything was very tasty. The interior is relatively narrow, the tables are close together. This can make it relatively loud. But if you sit outside in the summer, you don't have this problem. But the atmosphere is still very pleasant. The service was very attentive. We didn't wait long for food. We had a very nice evening with fantastic food!

I paid for a cappuccino 4,50euro and I had to wait 20 minutes and the guy gave me a cappuccino of a size of an espresso. Come on !! We are in Berlin…

Came for breakfast, but didn't like the food. Too expensive for such a place.

Nice restaurant with friendly and fairly quick service. High quality and nice view of the water tower.

Delicious food. Upscale but definitely worth it. The borscht tasted great. The children loved the pelmeni. I can recommend the shashlyk in combination with the braised vegetables. The tables are very close together, which makes the whole thing seem very authentic. The service was very attentive and fulfilled our every wish. Parking is a disaster in the area, it's best to come by public transport. Then you can also enjoy the beer and vodka. !!! Be sure to reserve!!! it is always full.

Very attractive restaurant. Had delicious Pelmeni here. The only negative point was that the piano was played very loudly and excitedly for half an hour.

Best Restaurant of slavic cuisune in Berlin (I can compare with others)! Borsch is super decent, salads are beyond amazing, Kiew Kotlett is very tasty. The athmosphere is super cosy, the district is just beautiful. The stuff is very polite and attentive. I keep bringing my friends there, and they are always satisfied. Everytime Im in Berlin, I always go to Pasternak :) Спасибо большое ❤️😊

Excellent borscht. A labor of love! Good pelmenie and stroganoff! Correct service. Nice ambiance with a piano player in the background.

Wonderful evening in a unique restaurant listening to old Jewish music played live on the piano. A throughly mesmerising experience with the best customer service and exceptional food. I had the lamb cutlets and a pavlova for dessert. 10/10. No cash… just cards… that’s unusual for Berlin.

I was looking for a place to impress my German boyfriend with Russian cuisine and this restaurant was absolutely perfect! The food was beautifully presented and truly captured the flavors of Russia. Thanks a lot to Marita, she was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She helped us choose the best dishes and thanks to her, my boyfriend got a fantastic first impression of Russian food. Thanks thanks thanks!

Amazing place for breakfast with authentic Russian cuisine! We ordered the breakfast for two, oladushki (Russian pancakes), and a matcha latte, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The highlight of our visit was the exceptional service from Marita. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her recommendations were spot on, and her warm attitude made our mood better. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!

Fantastic place great food great service from Dimitri !!!

The food was delicious as always, but the POOR SERVICE ruined the entire evening. For the prices I would definitely have expected more hospitality. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the restaurant and will avoid it in the future.

Great food and attentive personnel, Marita was quick to explain the options on the menu and communicated freely in 3 different languages with our international table. It’s the second time we return to this restaurant and the food is good as always, and the food doesn’t take long to come out of the kitchen.

Check-in, pushing to pay and walking away even though there was no reservation afterwards, in the middle of dinner. Too tight. Service very bad.

This restaurant is absolutely recommended: excellent food, good service (especially in the evenings), very nice atmosphere (especially in the evenings)

Excellent Napoleon cake, a must try and excellent service from Dimitri. A nice and tranquil place that I will for sure revisit.

Everything is good and tasty. Portions are huge

Went there for a birthday and everything went well. Food was very tasty.

Great place where everything was high quality, food, service! Special thanks to Dmitry) It's nice when guests are treated so caringly ☺️

Really tasty food, attentive and friendly staff, nice atmosphere. However, waiting time for the main dishes was long.

Authentic Russian cuisine with a borsch like from mom <3.

Very nicely decorated restaurant and the food was very tasty. Moskva beer is recommended and there was also live music in the evening. The only negative point is that the tables are a bit too close together and the high prices for the portions that aren't quite as generous. Still highly recommended!

Babushkas Borsht and pavlova deserve were amazing! And in the evening atmosphere with life music.

Very good address... Very cozy, great restaurant. Service top, food too. 👌🏻 Next time in Berlin... Gladly again. 👍🏻

Everything was super delicious 😍

Dopo aver visitato il mercato che si tiene a Kollwitzstraße siamo andati in questo ristorante di cucina Russa, che offre la colazione fino alle 16,00. abbiamo preso 2 colazioni da 2 persone l'una e vi assicuro che è molto più di un pasto. tutto molto buono e fresco. Assolutamente consigliato

A wonderful place with excellent service from Dmitry and incredibly delicious food (borscht, dumplings and desserts are simply delicious).

We had a very nice evening at Pasternak 😋 The food was extremely good and the service was also great. Personally, it was just a little too bright for me (uncomfortable light) and the neighboring tables were too close ☝️💚

incredibly pleasant place with delicious Russian cuisine! Special thanks to Dmitry for the excellent service!

We had a wonderful breakfast at this restaurant! The food was excellent. You can tell that attention is paid to detail here. The waitress Marita was very attentive, friendly and professional. Absolutely recommended, we will definitely come back!

Great restaurant, delicious food, nice atmosphere. Stanislav is a waiter from God! Thank you very much!

Thanks to the Pasternak restaurant and especially Stas for the service! It was very tasty, the borscht was just wow!

Great place. I like the presentation. The taste of borscht is like in childhood. The waiter Stanislav makes this experience wonderful. I advise

Nice place. The service is great. Waiter Stas is probably one of the best in Berlin!

A wonderful place to enjoy delicious food! The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is very quick. Particularly noteworthy is the warm and attentive waitress Marita – thank you for the great service!

This is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Russian cuisine. The dishes, such as pelmeni and borscht, are prepared with a lot of love and taste simply fantastic. I would particularly like to praise the waitress Marita – she is incredibly friendly, attentive and makes you feel completely comfortable as a guest. Thanks to their excellent work, every visit becomes a special experience!

Amazing food. The dumplings and stroganoff highly recommend. Red wine was perfect combo with any sort of meat. Request Dimitri as server, very kind and made sure to open window when I felt it was hot. Great service and food

Charming old ambience ☺️ Quick and fast service. Foods are super nice. Friday night there is live music. They only accept card. No cash ❌

Everything we ordered was very tasty! Dessert Pavlova is wonderful.

My favorite place for russian cuisine, for sure! At least twice a month we come back for the babushka borscht. We tried the vareniki the other day and wow, delicious as well. Not to mention the 10/10 bliny with cherries 🤤

Beautifully executed Russian cuisine. Tea in glass holders and portraits of the emigrated intelligentsia of the 20s of the last century. Pleasant interior without unnecessary decorativeness. Perfectly prepared pavlova dessert

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Das Essen ist qualitativ hochwertig und lecker, leider etwas zu sehr an den deutschen Geschmack angepasst worden. Barzahlung nicht möglich.

The food is very very tasty every time. I love this place.

Food excellent - service unfortunately completely overwhelmed, inattentive and impersonal. The food tasted really great, everything was perfectly seasoned, fresh and there were great, creative combinations of different components. The cauliflower steak was a poem in the combination presented with the other ingredients. The dessert also tasted heavenly!!! Lots of vegetarian and also some vegan options, which is really great! Unfortunately the service was really bad. The welcome was cool and direct with the information that the reserved table was only available for 90 minutes. The table was then prepared. It took almost 20 minutes for the drinks to be served and the food order to be taken. It also took a disproportionately long time to be served and after the main course we felt ignored, even though we clearly made eye contact and even wanted to signal our attention so that we could order dessert. It was like a mass processing of people, far too few service staff. Unfortunately, this significantly damaged the overall experience. In addition, the restaurant has extremely tight seating, so if you want to eat comfortably and in peace here, you are definitely out of place. It's loud and you feel crowded together. Very unfortunate.

Bijzonder sfeervol restaurant met prettige bediening en fantastisch lekker eten. We wisten niet goed wat ons te wachten stond, kenden de Russische keuken niet. We dronken wijnen uit Georgië, eveneens verrassend goed! En dat voor redelijke prijzen.

Very good atmosphere! excellent service and tasty food. Thank you Stas!

Food was good, but the portion could have been a bit larger. Service could also be a little friendlier.

Gran lugar con música de piano en vivo. Comida muy deliciosa. Ambiente acogedor, con la sensación de comer en la sala de estar de una familia.

The food was particularly great, my first time eating Russian food - definitely a success! In addition to the antique furnished ambience, the waiters are very friendly and attentive (our waiter was Dimitri). Highly recommended to everyone!

Plein à craquer mais l’accueil est bon. Des plats très bien servis et excellents j’avais pris un plat végétarien dont je ne me souviens plus du nom qui était très copieux. La viande des autres plats était extra tendres. Une pavlova à tomber. Un vin israélien très bon. Ce qui était moins plaisant c’est que les clients parlaient fort à cause du piano.

I would have love to rate the food, but unfortunately after waiting for 15min, we haven’t got any attention from the waitress. Early this day, the place was not very busy, yet. Especially as we could watch the waitress casually glazing out of the windows instead of serving us. Also, when we decided to leave the waitress didn’t even apologize or say anything when we had to look for alternatives in the area

Den ene stjerne som skulle gives - må gå til den drinks som vi bestilte som starter!!! ALT andet var under AL kritik og var medvirkende til at vores nytårsaften, blev en del anderledes end de høje forventninger, vi havde bygget op til denne aften! Vi havde for måneder siden bestilt bord til nytårsaften, med valgt nytårs menu “pradznik”. Vi havde fået fin bekræftelse på bord til 19.30 og bekræftelse af menu til 4 personer! SÅ skuffelsen var STOR, da vi festligt udklædt ankom og konstaterede at restauranten lukkede 21.00 uden vi vidste herom!? Skuffelsen blev værre, da tjeneren ikke helt vidste at vi havde bestilt “pradznik” middag og ville konferere med køkkenet! Efterfølgende vendte hun tilbage, med ærgerlige og virkelige skuffe de besked om, at vi desværre var nødt til at bestille a la carte, da vi skulle være mindst 7 personer! Dette var vi ikke tidligere blevet oplyst om, så nu havde vi en time til halvanden, til at få bestilt og spist, hvilket var i en noget anden liga, end den vi havde forberedt os på! Havde vi været uordentlige mennesker, havde vi ALDRIG givet drikkepenge, men da vi ER godt opdraget, gav vi 10 % - trods det, at vi på intet tidspunkt var blevet kompenseret for noget som helst. Kommer vi igen???? Nej desværre ikke! Øv at en resataurant med så gode anmeldelser, ikke kan leve op til standarden en nytårsaften!

The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Very happy again!

We took the Herring starter and the Borscht soups- both the vegetarian and the beef. All was very delicious, served in the right temperature and the portions were generous. The small lunch was accompanied with Gin&Tonic and beer. The service is kind and welcoming.

Great place, always delicious, big portions. Manager/waiter Stas, thank you! Fast delivery and attentiveness when ordering! I recommend! Toller Ort, immer lecker, große Portionen. Manager/Kellner Stas, vielen Dank! Schnelle Lieferung und Aufmerksamkeit bei der Bestellung! Ich empfehle!

Unfortunately, I'm not in the city enough to eat here more often. But today I had the pleasure of once again enjoying a great breakfast in a cozy restaurant. The subsequent visit to the market at Kollwitz Platz rounded off what was, for me, a perfect Saturday.

I like this restaurant because of the cozy atmosphere both indoor and outdoor. Our waiter, Martin was very attentive and friendly. He made several recommendations for what to get for a quick visit. Overall, we had a good time.

Very relaxed positive atmosphere. Dimitri and Marika take excellent care of their guests!
