Veselka is a New York City classic. I have been enjoying Veselka for over 30 years now. Their pierogi are the best in town. So delicious. Wonderful chicken noodle and matzo ball soup. I love their chicken schnitzel entree. amazing crepes. and the potato pancake is divine. Velselka also has fantastic cookies, brownies, and a killer baked chocolate custard. Veselka is a gem!

The chicken tasted funny in the soup. It seems the chicken in the soup was old and not fresh. I ended up discarding the soup entirely. Though the 2nd Avenue location was great! Delic and tasty. I'd watch out for the Grand Central Location. Im not sure they prep th food right.

Ukrainian Meat Borscht - Quart was amazing!!! I've loved every else I've ordered except the Chicken Paprikash - was a bit bland.

Veselka serves tasty and satisfying East European comfort food. The traditional dishes may be "heavy," but they were prepared with a light, deft touch: the beef in the meat borscht was hearty but tender and lean, the beets rich with flavor and thankfully without added sugar; the cheese blintz was sweet but not overly so (I'd detail my experience with the blintz, but I devoured it too quickly). Everyone has family memories of the "right" way to make stuffed cabbage; Veselka's was neither as sweet nor sour nor salty as various diners may cherish, but the cabbage was soft and the rice and meat finely minced. The prices seemed to me very reasonable for the value.
