Ruskie Pierogi
$14.50
Classic Polish dumplings filled with potato, cheese, and caramelized onions.

Handmade dumplings filled with slow-braised beef short rib.
Tip: Get the 'Mixed' plate if it's your first time—it lets you try the short rib alongside the classic potato and cheese. Always ask for them pan-fried.
