      Kind of defeats the purpose of being in a restaurant in the first place if you segregate yourself from other people. If you don't wish to eat amongst others, stay at home and have your meal there.
      Don't get me wrong. Loud and rude people are annoying but the dining experience is about accepting that you are among other people whilst eating......

    $4 US for a meal of that size! Plain, hearty home cooking. And in our trendy Western cafes, we fork out 10 times that amount for half the food served here.

      Chepalgsh is prepared just like the pumpkin pancakes from heaven, but instead of having pumpkin spread inside of them, they have onion and tvorog (a Russian dairy product) rolled into the dough before frying and washing.

      "English" or "English breakfast" tea refers to a blend of teas and its strong flavour. (really it's just a marketing term, doesn't mean much beyond saying it's black and a little bitter)
