Welcome To Alyonka
Born and raised in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, Elena DeYoung is the event coordinator for Boise’s popular Russian Food Festival. She’s organized the fundraiser at St. Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church since its humble beginnings 14 years ago. Back then, church volunteers baked in her Meridian home.
Nowadays, the annual event serves between 3,500 and 4,000 people over two days, and she keeps hearing the same request: “Where is the place we can eat food like this?”
As owner and chef, Elena created a familiar menu at Alyonka Russian Cuisine now open at 2870 West State Street in Boise, Idaho.

“Delicious!”
“Highly recommend. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and welcoming. The servers were very attentive. The food was outstanding. We had chebureki appetizer, carrot salad, stroganoff, pork kabob with rice and vodka balls for dessert. We left happily, but not overly, stuffed. We will be back again very soon!”

“Creative Cuisine”
“Celebrated a birthday here and had a fantastic meal and a wonderful time. We enjoyed several of the appetizers, they were all large enough to share and were unique and delicious. The kabobs, stuffed pepper, and stroganoff entrées were cooked to perfection and came with a marinated side salad complimenting the meal.“
