Lovely

To my recollection, I had never had Ukrainian food before and I love trying new foods!

I had the kvas (tastes like alcohol-free beer), borsch, and sour cherry varenyky. The borsch was one of the most flavorful soups I’ve ever had.

My only complaint: None of the dishes are automatically vegan, so although they are marked, you must specify to your server you want them prepared vegan. When I ordered the dessert, my server was insistent about bringing the crème on the side “just in case” which I think was his way of saying it wasn’t worth eating without the crème (I concur - they were good but I probably wouldn’t get them again dry). I really wish my server had just listened to me - or better yet, could they develop a vegan version of the crème so they don’t feel the need to bring me dairy against my wishes?

Pros: Delicious drinks (we ordered four), Yummy food, Ukrainian servers and music

Cons: Server ignored my request, Dim lighting

Delicious!

I tried the cabbage rolls as well as the potato & dill vareniky and both were really, really good! I love how many options they have, I will definitely be back to try more!

Elevated Ukrainian fine dining

I’ve been a regular at the other Kozak locations and this one is definitely next level. They have a separate takeout side that is more like their other locations with more of a deli type vibe and little grocery section, and the the other entrance to the sit down dining experience is very swanky. The plating, and the bar gives it a very fine dining feel. All the vegan options are very tasty as always. I recommend trying the pierogies deep fried which the other locations don’t offer

Great food, very much recommended

The food was great and vegan was clearly marked on the menu. Authentic Ukrainian food is a rare but great opportunity I can definitely recommend. Staff was amazing as well. Lots of new things to try. 3 course meal with drink for 28 Can $

Pros: Authentic food, Nice atmosphere , Affordable

Rare to eat Ⓥ Ukrainian!

The vegan options are great and the ambience is nice. There’s a full bar and even sober cocktails. Vegan food is well-labeled and it’s traditional Ukrainian which is one of my favorite cuisines! As you know, Ukrainian restaurants aren’t abundant and then they typically don’t cater to vegans. What a gem Kozak is - I’d have given five stars except my rule about serving meet. It is spectacular!
