Great atmosphere, especially when the weather is great and you are sitting on the patio! The service was great and fast. The waitress was very attentive. The food was good. Some of the dishes were delicious (chicken kebab, salmon, beet salad), but some of the dishes were underwhelming. Even thought the potatoes were well charred, they were greasy and way too salty. The solenya were good, except for the tomatoes, which were from a jar. Overall an expected experience.

Excellent experience at Cafe Dacha!
The place is very clean, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly, professional, and clearly well-trained. The food was delicious — I tried the harcho soup and a beer, both warm, flavorful, and perfectly priced. The menu feels carefully chosen, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality.
One small suggestion: when pickup drivers come for take-out orders, it might be better to have a separate area for them so they don’t have to stand next to guests dining in.
Other than that, everything was fantastic. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, good service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

Had my birthday party at Cafe Dacha and everything was great! The Owner-Manager is the kindest person, so patience, knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. Same goes to his staff.
My guests complimented this service, food and drinks – and fully enjoyed themselves.
Thank you for a great party! We will be back 😉

This is one of the best cafés I’ve ever visited. The Ukrainian food is authentic, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful, and the service is outstanding.
You can truly feel the heart and soul put into this place. It’s not just a café — it’s an experience.
Five stars without any doubt! Highly recommended to everyone.

This place is awesome. There aren’t many upscale Eastern European restaurants so this place is pretty unique. The Borscht is delicious and the Beet Salad is really unique with awesome flavors. Their desserts are a must try especially the Honey Cake.

Amazing family owned business. Wonderful fresh and well prepared memorable food. Appreciated hearing about uniquely Ukrainian takes on herring, borscht, and perogis. Enjoyed the Croatian beer too!

Café Dacha in Highland Park offers an authentic and memorable Eastern European dining experience with excellent food, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere.
The zakuski (IYKYK) selection was a great way to begin the meal. The beef tongue was tender and flavorful, the blintzes were light and well-prepared, and each dish was presented thoughtfully. The Vinigret salad was also a standout, with a balanced mix of earthy vegetables and bright acidity.
The lamb kebab was perfectly cooked and seasoned, served with sides that enhanced the main dish without overpowering it.
The honey cake for dessert was outstanding. Light, layered, and just sweet enough, it was a perfect way to end the meal.
Café Dacha also has a nice selection of wines that pair well with the menu, and the service throughout the evening was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced.
Outdoor seating was available, and the patio was quiet and comfortable that evening, adding to the overall experience.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for something unique and well-executed in Highland Park.

Hope you had a wonderful dinner at dacha. The service was very attentive, delicious Ukrainian food. Our server suggested and helped us order dishes that were easily shareable, so we got to try a lot of different things.
