Streecha

I have tried millions of restaurants in NY and have a lot of favorites but this is one of my favorites. Definitely top 10. I recommend the 10$ lunch special. It’s always something different but always something amazing. The ambience is incredible. Feels like you’re in some sort of cafeteria in a small town in Ukraine.

Good Ukrainian food. Much much better than Veselky. You can trust me, I’m from Ukraine. I’ve been trying to find a good place for a while and I found it.
I took one star out because when I get into the basement all doors were closed, no sign of cafe and when I found a door, I was standing at the register for 5 minutes alone and no one came out even though they could see me from the kitchen. I talked to my other friends who recommended this place to me and they said it happens often.

🥟 Pierogi with onion and sour cream- this was only $5 and was incredibly delicious, one of the best pierogis I’ve tried!!

This spot is located in a basement so kinda easy to miss. It’s a family owned business and the prices were super reasonable. They have a limited menu with homemade dishes and that’s what makes them unique.

Wow - absolutely phenomenal spot. A must hit. Walking in I was skeptical about how good the food could be, but was blown away with how much flavor was packed in such simple dishes. I tried the borscht ($4), sausage w/ cabbage ($8), and pierogies ($5). The workers are exceptionally nice too

If this has been on your radar and have been procrastinating for months to stop by - like me - get here as soon as you can. You've gotta see this place for yourself

Entrance is located downstairs leading into the basement.
Decent, home style food served in paper plates. Must try perogias, cabbage rolls, and sausage is very good. Price is very reasonable.
Decor is quaint Ukrainian folksy with functional tables and chairs.
I just wished it had more to offer on the menu.
