Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Bonnie Morales

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 2014, this trailblazing restaurant launched the country’s Eastern European culinary renaissance, garnering raves from Bon Appétit, Eater, GQ, and more. A decade in, Bonnie and Israel Morales’s ode to their roots is still a hotspot for its famed horseradish-infused vodka, zakuski (snacks) like caviar and roe, and clay pot rabbit. Decked with colorful posters and tablecloths sourced from Belarus, the inviting, bi-level space is one you’ll want to return to again and again.

    The food was not tasty. Out of six dishes, only one was somewhat decent. We waited an hour for the chicken kebab, and it was served raw and overly salty. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and very authentic, but the kitchen leaves much to be desired.

    First exposure to Soviet era cuisine. Waiter Monica gave helpful explanations and suggestions. With the availability of small plate servings, we were able to sample a number of different dishes as well as some main dishes. Each was well-seasoned and tasty. We would return.

    It is hard for me to give a 5 on value since I like doing things myself. However the food was heartwarming. It was well made commoner food with opportunities to make it luxurious (Caviar and Vodka). We stayed "commoner" on this visit, well we did the Vodka flight. From the pickles to varenyky, cabbage rolls and borscht, it was so well done. The atmosphere with the lace drapes, plastic table cloths, bench and chair seating took me off to Eastern Europe, even the drafty from the door added to the ambiance. This all melded together to a very warm and memorable comfort meal with the family. (Especially after the 3rd shot:). mmm! I must mention the awesome teamwork of at least 5 different servers that came by to really take care of us amongst the busy restaurant.

    A restaurant with a soul! Dining at Kachka is like being wrapped in a hug. The food and service are both in a league of their own. Cannot recommend highly enough - and it’s a chameleon of a restaurant that is a good fit for everything from a warm family meal to a fancy special occasion. A true, unique gem and a must for foodies to try.
