Amazing food and the honey cake desert was to die for!! Highly recommended.
Service was excellent. Atmosphere is not why you are there the food is!

  One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while.
My boyfriend and I were traveling and wanted to try something out of the norm so we were excited... read more to find a Russian place as we don't have any near us.
Both of us ordered the Pelmeni not knowing quite what to expect and it blew us away. Absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Portion size was perfect as well.
We got the honey cake to go and that was also phenomenal.
The service and atmosphere were perfect. Not trying to hard, a little low key from the outside, but great vibes inside.
We want to go back to Boise soon just so we can revisit this restaurant. Haven't stopped talking about it since.

  We wanted to try out this restaurant as we had heard it was delicious. It was reminiscent of my mother in-law and grand mother in laws cooking. The veraniki and... read more borscht were spot on; with authentic flavors! The only down side was I felt the desserts were too sweet for our tastes but good. (We tried the sampler of desserts-huge servings). We did take out, so I am unable to rate for service and ambiance.

  My husband and I have driven past this place so many times. Finally stopped in and WOW! The food is so good. Small place. Clean and simple. We ordered the... read more pickled vegetable appetizer, stroganoff, dumplings with broth, plum lemonade, dessert sampler. We're looking forward to returning.

  Alyonka is one of my favorite places in Boise. We went there for my husbands birthday and enjoyed all of it. They have a nice drink selection (alcoholic and non-alcoholic),... read more great appetizers, great meals, and unbelievable desserts. We tried a combo of different items and we were not disappointed. My husband said that the desserts were probably the best he has had in the Treasure Valley.

  So so good!  We tried a lot of different items from the menu and everything was outstanding.  And the service was equally as good.  I already have my menu choice... read more selected for my next two visits.  And if you can, save a little room for dessert, the honey cake is to die for!  Definitely the best restaurant I've been to in the area.

  Came into town  for a quick weekend  and the Thriple D came on with a special for a Boise Russian restaurant.
It looked so good.
We went the next night for... read more dinner.
Dog friendly, and the food was AMAZING

  Inside out: the place is -so clean- I genuinely love the aesthetic and everything was so organized it was beautifully cute. Ample parking for its size, an adorable outdoor patio... read more to boot!

The service: top tier, we spoke with the owner and a younger gentleman too who came in later, he was so kind and friendly. My grandma was so thrilled because at 90 she got to try new things!

Food: it was delicious, I've never had any of of it, my husband and grandma split some meat dumplings and my husband loved them. I had borscht soup that I can't stop thinking about. I genuinely want soup in the summer it was so good.  The desert was incredible, every option was tempting, and we were so full we split one cake of the royal poppyseed - perfect and not too sweet. I dream about this cake.

Overall, I highly recommend it- just be aware the price is a bit surprising - but very very worth it.

  What a cute and quaint  place. The lady server is so nice and welcoming. She seems like she really loves her job . The food tastes very authentic. The portions... read more are large. Prices are kinda high. I wish they had a lunch menu.

  Ate here with my Ukrainian mother-in-law and family. This place is fantastic and the food is superb. The veraniki (peirogi), shuba, borscht, and poppy seed cake were incredibly good. They... read more don't over season their food. You can taste all the herbs in this wonderful food. This place is a real find in Boise!

  Easily in the top 10 best restaurants I've ever been to. Everything we tried was incredibly fresh and unique. The staff was incredibly kind and passionate. They clearly love their... read more job.

The salad platter and chicken noodle soup are a must and please save room for the honey cake and lemon mousse! Everything has a lightness to it that leaves you feeling great after the meal like amazing home cooked food.

We loved it so much on our visit to Idaho that we came here twice to try more things on the menu. This place is special.

  The beef stroganoff and the pork tenderloin with golden potatoes were amazing. Highly recommend the dessert platter (Alyonkas Favorite, sampler) - the desserts have vodka and rum and delicate complex... read more flavors, they're all decadent and astonishing. We were especially surprised by the lemon mousse and the poppy seed ganache cake. The bottle of Georgian red (cab version, less sweet) was worth the cost and went well with the meat dishes. Service was lovely - prompt, thorough, kind.
