Not getting your food? Under seasoned? Commercial bread? Lots of potatoes? Sounds EXACTLY like real Russian dining experience to me!

After reading your review about Hawa Russia, we ordered VegetarianPirozhki, Vegetarian Borscht, and Siberian Pelmeni. They are all delicious. Most of my friends did not order based on your review and their orders did not taste good. Thank you. I will definitely visit your blog frequently, especially before I visit new restaurants.

Well, we've been here a few times. The service has always been great. The food is pretty good, but overly expensive for what you get. The piroshki "meals" are simply a medium bowl half-filled with the dumplings. No sides. And they run $7-$9. To order a side separately will be another $3 or more. I had the cabbage rolls, got 2 that were about 3"x2" and a small pile of buckwheat. $11. The Kvass is an interesting drink, definitely try it. The biggest plus was the sweet waitress. She noticed that my son, who's a very picky eater and wary of new things, wasn't eating his meal, so we asked for a side of mashed potatoes (sorry, Mr. Arlovski) knowing he would eat those and she brought him a lovely plate filled w/the potatoes, a small serving of the stroganoff and vinaigrette-dressed cucumbers and tomatoes, then refused to charge us for it! I'd be there every week trying something different if it weren't so expensive. For the three of us our meal was $55 with tip, which some may say is reasonable, but I say it's not something we want to do too often!

The owner of this place Boris would never insult anybody. He is very nice and friendly. You have a certain bias, can't believe you would tarnish his reputation. What can I say? Hater!!!!!!!!!! You are the one who is a disaster. Come on!

Every Friday night "Nasha Russia" holds a techno night with a free entrance, and reduced prized at a certain hours. Usually it's 8-11. If you ever come you MUST try russian "Baltika" beer there. They play great European dance music that you barely can find anywhere in Columbus. Professional Dj play all night ( there actually two of them. one also plays in Boma. and Dj Jeka also plays at private parties)

I have a hard time believing that Boris would talk bad about anyone. We were there on Friday and had no problems whatsoever. The food and the service was as good as it usually is. I've never been to one of their banquet nights but the regular menu seems just fine to me.

Dont Get ME WRONG!!! The food is to DIE FOR!!! Even if they run out and bring replacement it is going to be even better than what you originally ordered.. EVERYTHING we ordered was fantastic and we definitely are taking our friends next week.

What A restaurant!!! We witness several couples get up and leave because they did not get their food, the supposed owner insult Polish customers and several people not get thier orders and some get replacement orders for what they ordered. 2/14/09 The banquiet at 8:00 pm was a disaster Watched a person dole out Caviar with a METAL SPOON. Restaurant is a DISASTER but FUNNY. Remember the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld? Then YOU will love This Place!!!
