Cossachok

We had never tried Russian food before so this was a new experience for us. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The drinks were a bit on the slow side in arriving but in fairness the restaurant was exceptionally busy. (Always a good sign). The food was delicious, plentifully and well presented. We will be back next time we're in Glasgow.

Fabulous food/ good value for money / courteous and helpful staff-/ comfortable surroundings and good ambiance/ very central location to city / would highly recommend

Nice to try something a bit different. Very welcoming, friendly staff and a good atmosphere with Russian shawls etc decorating the restaurant. Food was lovely and freshly cooked.

I love this place. Food is very authentic, reasonably priced and portions amazing. I often ask for a dish that is not on the evening menu, nothing too much trouble. A quirky decor, friendly staff all make for a brilliant atmosphere.

I love going to this restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and the environment is calm and beautiful. I would definately recommend this place !

Second visit and I was not disappointed. Very relaxed atmosphere and lovely girls serving. Food is good and authentic and the vodka shots are yummy. Would certainly recommend giving it a try.

Lovely staff and good food. Not particularly Russian but great nonetheless. I'd thoroughly recommend this place... Plus the Putin 'it off cocktail is great. Come here!! Yum!!

Great restaraunt. All the dishes we ordered were great and the staff was very friendly. There were some dishes i didnt think i would like like but to my surprise all of them were very good. I would recommend the pork shashlik and the babushka blintz.

As always a warm welcome to this buzzing temple of good food. Superb dishes and the friendliest staff you will ever find makes the Russian Cafe a must visit destination. We were celebrating exam results and graduations and the atmosphere was great. Every dish is lovingly creates and appreciated by customers and judging by the packed tables on a very wet Thursday evening a booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. You must go and sample for yourself.

Large choice, nice food, cheap shots and cocktails. Had the salmon and mussels, dessert pancakes and honey and thoroughly enjoyed it with coconut chocolate shot and pina coladas.

Good service, decent selection of dishes on the menu. Interesting decor and artwork, only downside and this is minimal is that the chairs can be a bit uncomfortable but perhaps that is a nod to the harsh times in the USSR!

Lovely surroundings. The food and service were good. Nice to try something new to eat. Loved the old movies playing in the background. We will definitely be back.

Food is excellent & staff very pleasant. Prices of drinks are reasonable. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. This is now our favourite place to eat

A lovely restaurant, great meal! Will definitely return to try out more of the menu. Great cocktail menu and homemade vodka - hazelnut was amazing! Thanks.

I had heard good reports about Café Cossachok and it was busy with a few Russian customers which is normally a good sign but I felt the food was bland and not really enjoyable. The staff were very pleasant and the place is well decorated and pleasant surroundings , however the door to an internal area was opened and it was drafty and children were allowed to play there so it was noisy and distracting.

I'm a huge fan of this place.... Amazing food and place, super. I will be back defo ! Always fresh food on the plate :)

Food was excellent. It was something a bit different and also more healthy than our usual restaurant fare. I had the borscht and vegetable stuffed pancakes with orange sauce. Both excellent and we will definitely be back again! Very helpful and polite waiting staff also.

I was yesterday at restaurant and it was superb. I will recommend to all my friends and family. I will come back soon, food was delicious.

We had a lovely meal last night. The service was very good and the food delicious. Nice vibe in the place, comfortable and busy. It feels authentic. I'm sure we'll be back.

Good friendly service and food was excellent.Also good variety of dishes on the menu so will definitely be back. Atmosphere in cafe was very relaxing.

Gie yersel a favour an get doon tae cafe cossachok. It's pure dead brilliant. So it is. Magic food smashin service and cheap as chips.

Excellent food, excellent service, great value for money. We've been going to this restaurant for about 9 years and it's never any less than fantastic.

Lovely atmosphere and decor. Especially the rugs on the ceiling. Staff very attentive. Wide range of vodka on offer. cocktails are delicious. Something different. Food made to order.

Amazing food, set in a really nice environment. I would definitely go back.

very nice place, service was very good. enjoyed the food and the experience of going to a russian restaurant. i would visit again in the future.

Lovely food, wonderful staff, reasonably priced cocktails and do not miss the hazelnut vodka.

Excellent food and service great little find. Really loved the ambience and the quality of food was superb. Would definitely recommend this to anyone. It's off the beaten track which is nice as well

Staff were very attentive to our needs during our meal. We enjoyed our time there and will be back soon.food was lovely vodka shot was a nice touch

Great food, nice staff and a really unusual (in a good way) atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. The food is very authentic , cannot recommend highl enough.

I went to this restaurant largely because of the good reviews I saw. The menu looked extremely interesting and we had to turn away the waitress twice before we were ready to order because it was such a difficult decision. The food was excellent, the restaurant spacious and noise levels low, so even though there was music on, conversation wasn't difficult (a major plus point there!!). Finished the meal with superb coffee with vodka, honey, chocolate, coconut and cream! The staff were friendly, attentive and patient, making for a very relaxed experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and I plan to go back soon.

Had a dinner out with friends for my birthday. Three courses and at least 2 cocktails each. everything was delicious and everyone had a good time. Great food, great service, great night out!

A very pleasant atmosphere where excellent food was served by attentive and accommodating waiting staff. Moldavian Gouvetch and the St Petersburg blintzes were hearty and tasty. I recommend this restaurant that shows its prowess from behind the red curtain.

Easy to book on line, great staff, great food and lovely atmosphere. We met with cousins from Canada that we hadn't met before and had a superb evening

Good set menu for Itison deal with added bonus of Kozel Beer on draft!

Went for mothers day with my toddler, husband and our mothers, couldn't have been better! Reasonably priced set menu, delicious food, helpful and friendly staff, high chair available and noone grumbling because the little one wanted to wander round. What a refreshing place to be. We will most definitely be returning! The blintzs were delicious, salads authentic & yummy. Meat was perfectly cooked, desserts simple but to die for. Nice strong coffee and a kids menu my son actually wanted to eat!

Superb Food !!!! Love the mood And beer 😊 Everything Freda, tasty And amazing. I will go back again For 100 % brilliant place to go!

Lovely food (I especially enjoyed the duck!), with good, friendly service. The place has clearly had a major upgrade since I was last there some years ago, as it's a lot larger and very airy. Definitely adding it to my list of places to go more often.

Bought this as a Groupon deal - starter, main with a shot of vodka. Although hubby and I enjoyed the meal, I can't help shake the feeling that it was more about the novelty of the experience of us getting out. The staff were all pleasant and unobtrusive. There was very little waiting time for our food. The food itself wasn't amazing but something a little different. We both enjoyed the borscht soup starter, which came with rye bread and sour cream. It was quite salty (and I like salty), so any larger portion than what we were served might have been too much for my throat. It was delicious. Hubby ordered the fried ravioli, which had little beef / pork pillows inside. It was a good size serving, drenched in a creamy, cheesy sauce. Definitely stodgy comfort food. I ordered the lamb kebabs, which were moist, delicious and beautifully seasoned. the roast potatoes and salad that accompanied it were bland and underwhelming and not what I would expect a restaurant to serve but they were alright. The ambience is warm and peaceful but it felt a bit cheapened and "pub-like" because of the two giant screens playing a Russian comedy film with the sound off. It would have been a nicer use of this tech to have the sound up a little and playing traditional music or footage of the region. The décor is interesting but they could do with a little more of it spread around the room. I loved the matryoshkas in the window, but once you're seated, you can't see them. Perhaps they could be dotted around the place? My main gripe niggled me throughout the meal and ever since. Basically, the small print on the voucher says "menu is seasonal and subject to change". Fair enough, you think, expecting that to refer to available produce. Nope. it's probably the get-out clause for the A4 sized restricted menu for voucher users. We didn't expect that. While the choice of starters was good, the mains were very limited. I suppose we enjoyed the food, but we wouldn't have minded paying a surcharge for a fuller range. We saw people having lovely skewers of meat taken to their table and we wished we had the choice. Also the drinks menu boasts an impressive range of flavoured vodkas, all the same reasonable price. However, us voucher peasants were only allowed a choice of cranberry (or maybe it was nail polish remover) and plain vodka. That was disappointing as I drooled over the idea of salted caramel vodka and pear vodka. Being on a strict budget, we only ordered a couple of soft drinks in addition to our "allowance" to allow us to leave a fair sized tip. All-in-all, we paid £19 and got £19 worth. No way was it a £37 "deal" as we thought from Groupon. We enjoyed it but not sure we subscribe to the hype about the place. I can't help feeling that's simply a novelty value. By all means, go along (without a voucher), especially if they have live music as their websites state they have from time to time. I expect that makes it an even better dining experience.

Good service and very nice vodka shots would recommend hazelnut. Good portion size and particularly enjoyed the pancakes with salmon from the starer menu ... God value!

Lovely atmosphere and great food but my husband and I would have rather not have sat beside a very large and noisy table. We will come back all the same.

Food was fine and the waitresses were excellent but there was a 30+minute wait for the Chicken Kiev which the waitress had to explain. I feel this warning should be on the menu. Also there was no lamb for the skewer dish. I had to have the chicken, which was excellent, with two full skewers. I've been here six times in the past year and would still come back. Price of wine and drinks very reasonable.

The food, atmosphere, drinks and staff were all excellent. We had a great evening sampling delicious Russian food. Try the Georgian wine too, it's really good!

This is a fantastic restaurant. The surroundings are quite quirky. All staff are really nice and very helpful and overall it was great value for money.

I always love to be here. Great service, great meals, cosy atmosphere! And all that for incredible low prices! Many of my friends are already happy visiting this restaurant after I've told them about it.

Good service. DElicious food. warm cozy atmosphere. GReat value for lunch menu! I took a group from the states here and all were very satisfied.

We will definitely return after our first visit. We just felt so welcome from the start, the waiter/waitress were helpful and attentive without being invasive. The food was a wonderful experience and the bill a surprising delight!! Thank for a wonderf time.
