My husband and I came here for lunch after church. We are from Ukraine and were very happy to find this place. I ordered banosh, beet salad, and deruny.
Honest review: service—10/10, banosh—11/10, beet salad—9/10, deruny—0/10. My husband and I were very disappointed, my husband was even angry because this dish was nothing like real deruny. For that price—$16—they could have at least tried. The portions are large, but so is the price.

Very local place, surely very significative to the ukrainian community here.
Lovely service.
I would have like the borsht to be more consistent, it was mostly broth and a tiny bit of vegetables. The blintzes were very small.
I just can’t get used to the cost of things in New York. It must be really hard for restaurants.

I cannot bad mouth this place because it is a cultural center in a church basement and worth visiting for that. But this appeal is its short coming as food quality appears to vary greatly across reviews from close periods of times.
When I went my varenyky weren’t served with any sauces or onions just melted butter. The texture were pleasant and soft you could tell they were fresh however they were bland. My stuffed cabbage tasted good however it was 90% rice with minimal amounts of meat. I understand how recipes vary greatly per chef and tradition but it is not a vegetarian cabbage roll this seems more like an attempt to keep costs down rather than a variant of a traditional dish. The cup of kompot for $3 was basically just red water. I feel because it is a community center it really depends on who is cooking that day so I am willing to try again and also try different dishes. The food wasn’t bad it’s just not my favorite and there’s better Ukrainian food around but this is not a bad choice for the price.

Very no frills, 3rd place vibe. This is home cooking not really like a restaurant in the most comforting and complimentary way.
The honey cake was delicious!
One of the best stuffed cabbages I’ve ever had. Idk if it typically comes with the mushroom gravy but omg . I dipped the perogies in the gravy and it was soo good. The borsch was a little meh.
I wanna go back and try the dinner plates. Someone said in their reviews they felt like it was overpriced but I’m not sure where they can get as hearty and filling as this meal and for that price.

Finally tried this place. A lot more authentic than the other Ukrainian restaurants in the city. Felt like a mom and pop restaurant. Casual just food nothing complicated. You order your food and sit and wait for your food to be brought to you. I don’t have to go all the way to Brooklyn to have Ukrainian food. Will definitely come back.

The most authentic old-school Ukrainian eatery with a wide selection of traditional Ukrainian dishes.
The space itself looks old and very simple, which does not represent what Ukraine is now, but what it used to be in the 80s and 90s.

Streecha feels like a little Ukrainian island in the heart of New York. I was in the city on a business trip and stumbled upon this canteen — it turned out to be the perfect spot to enjoy some real homemade Ukrainian food. The dumplings with meat were just like back home, and the borsch with smetana was warm, flavorful, and comforting.
The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. Even though the interior is simple and the renovation is a bit dated, it only adds to the charm — it feels authentic, like a place you’ve known for years. There’s something special about eating traditional food in a space that doesn’t try too hard — it just feels real.
What I also really appreciated is that it’s not just a place to eat, but also a gathering spot. It’s probably one of the best places in New York to meet Ukrainians who have been living here for years. There’s a strong sense of community and shared culture.
If you’re looking for a true taste of Ukraine in New York, Streecha is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in the city.

I recently visited Streecha, and it offered a deeply authentic and culturally meaningful introduction to Ukrainian home-style cuisine in Manhattan’s East Village. The restaurant has a modest and welcoming atmosphere that reflects its origins as part of a Ukrainian community center. The dining space feels simple and unpretentious, creating an environment where the emphasis is placed squarely on tradition, heritage, and comforting food.
Streecha is known for preserving classic Ukrainian recipes that reflect the culinary traditions of Eastern Europe. The menu features many of the dishes that are staples of Ukrainian home cooking, including pierogi, borscht, cabbage rolls, and other hearty preparations. One of the highlights of the meal was the pierogi, which were prepared with soft dough and savory fillings that balanced well with their accompaniments. The dumplings reflected the rustic comfort that defines Ukrainian cuisine.
Another standout dish was the borscht, a traditional beet-based soup that carries both earthy and slightly sweet flavors. The soup was rich and well balanced, with the addition of sour cream helping to create a smooth and comforting texture. Served with bread, it delivered the kind of warmth and depth that is characteristic of slow-prepared Eastern European soups.
The menu also includes other traditional comfort dishes that emphasize simple ingredients prepared with care. Items such as cabbage rolls and potato-based sides highlight the rustic and nourishing nature of Ukrainian cooking. The flavors lean toward savory, herb-forward seasoning rather than strong spice, allowing the ingredients themselves to stand out.
Service during the visit was friendly and welcoming, reflecting the community-oriented nature of the restaurant. Staff members maintained a warm and approachable demeanor, helping create an environment that feels both personal and culturally authentic.
The atmosphere contributes significantly to the experience. Streecha feels less like a commercial restaurant and more like a cultural gathering space where food plays an important role in preserving Ukrainian traditions. This sense of authenticity makes the dining experience particularly meaningful.
Overall, Streecha offers a heartfelt and authentic Ukrainian dining experience with traditional dishes, comforting flavors, and strong cultural identity. It stands out as one of the most genuine places to experience Ukrainian home-style cooking in New York City.

The atmosphere is exactly what you expect from a Ukrainian place -5/5.
The quality of the food is something to improve upon.
Borscht had no sour cream added, very little veggies in the cup and mostly broth.
Blinets were undercooked.
No criticism to potato pancakes.
Not coming back for sure, but it was a fun one time experience.

+Vegetarian (Pierogis are potato filled and the sauces include apple sauce and sour cream and onion), the borscht is vegetarian too. Blintz is chicken and the rest of the meat is beef-pork mixed
Yummy food overall, the atmosphere is a cozy Ukrainian old style canteen. Definitely different than anything else you can find in NYC.
– NOT wheelchair friendly (you need to go down the stairs into a basement)
*Walk through the green door, once you enter the basement, it looks like you’re in the wrong place but it is the right place – posted a video to show the entrance
