Having been reciently introduced to the great food Brighton Beach has to offer,
whenever I have the desire for traditional Shashlik (Russian Sisk Kebabs) Cafe Eroasia
is the place. Getting a table may take a little patience, as the inside has about
fourty five chairs and seemingly continuously busy inside, day and night.
With over fifty total menu items to choose from, it is really a test of will to not over order, a test I have yet to pass, but it tastes so good to fail. Each item will run you from $3.95 to $7.00 and the amount is ample for one person at best. Chicken, veal, pork ribs, meatball, liver of every possible (edible) four legged creature.
The veal tounge and radish was such a delight, fresh, creamy and light.
The flavor profile was so unique and foreign to me, that particular item has become a staple in my orders.
The pickled vegetables caught me a little off guard, as I bit into the tomato and I got a water baloon burst of some intense vinegar and spice, it was very delicious, once the initial shock wore off. Thinly sliced red cabbage, pepperchini's, pickles which was just the right contrast of taste and texture to pair with the kebabs.
The potatoe's and mushroom were decient, the garlic was transparent and the carmalized onions never really made an impact on the dish.
To be fair, it is hard to judge a place on just two small items. We were in the area and got hungry, although we wanted something light. So, I ordered a salad and 1 order of lamb kebabs. The salad was nothing special, heavy on the onions, but also was very affordable so I can't ask for much. The kebab seemed like it had the potential to be great, but we got stuck with very fatty meat and couldn't eat 4 of the 7 pieces that came with the dish. I would certainly give them another shot as other reviews are generally very positive and the place was packed at an odd time (between lunch and dinner).
in short, good prices, busy place, friendly staff but I just didn't order the right thing
Fantastic food from the Caucasus region at this hole in the wall eatery. The Uzbek pilaf is beyond awesome as are the lamb and chicken kebobs. The place is tiny, drab, often packed and cramped. Service is far from friendly if a bit huffy. However, it's super cheap and the food is great make this place well worth the trip to Brighton Beach in spite of its flaws.
WOW!!! If you are in Coney Island or Brighton Beach, GO HERE! This byob restaurant place has the best food! Get the chicken stroganoff. You will dieeeeeeee. Super cheap too.
