Brooklyn’s Best Russian Restaurants
Skovorodka: Translated as “The Skillet,” this family-style restaurant serves regional country fare from the former Soviet Republic, like Georgia, Lithuania, the Ukraine, and Belarus. We love the lamb-stuffed samsa (flaky Uzbeki pastries), tortellini-esque pelmeni, and the meat and pickle-layered omelet known as brizol, as well as stick-to-your ribs stroganoff and snappy-skinned kupati, a pork sausage laced with pomegranate sauce.
