   Great Ukrainian/Russian food. Always tasty and fresh. Service is excellent for this cozy place in Highland Park. We're regulars here and definitely recommend the place. Must try the salmon, pan fried potatoes, borscht, vareniki.

   We have been coming to Dacha for few years now for authentic food and great service. Their fried potatoes are the best. Great selection of entrees, portions are large enough to share, desserts are great too. Our favorite is honey cake.

   Cafe Dacha is one of our favorite restaurants in the area! The food is consistently delicious and we love the Chicken Tanaka! It’s a juicy and tender chicken with crispy skin on top! We also always order the the soups and the beef stroganoff is delicious too!

   This was our first time visiting Cafe Dacha, but we will be back. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious with generous portions. If you are familiar with and enjoy Eastern European foods, you will enjoy the many treats on their menu. If you are not familiar but like experiencing new cuisines from around the world, you will enjoy their tasty and hearty dishes. We tried the vareniki (perogi) appetizer, which came in an assortment of cabbage, potato, and cheese fillings served with sour cream. Fantastic. We also tried their house cured herring, which we had on bread with capers and onions. Very good. For our entrees my wife had the Golubtsi (stuffed cabbage) which was fantastic (I tried it too) and it was an enormous portion. I went with the Goulash which I greatly enjoyed. We finished by splitting the Napoleon cake for dessert and we rolled out of there stuffed and with leftovers. Highly recommend.

   I my opinion, Dacha is a hidden gem on the north shore. The food is fresh and delicious and comes out to your table right from the oven. I highly recommend this place

    This was our first time dining at Dacha. Our server was excellent, the food was excellent and made for an all around great dining experience. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.
