Астория - Shelekhov

In Shchelkovo, there aren’t many cafes to choose from, so we decided to give this one a try. The interior is designed in a retro style, reminiscent of a cafeteria, and the service is provided by waiters. There is also live music. Unfortunately, we encountered a significant downside: the food and menu! The menu features traditional Russian cuisine, but there’s not a wide selection—just cutlets with mashed potatoes, dumplings, and simply fried chicken in oil, without any spices, and frankly, it was not tasty. As for drinks, they offer homemade moonshine and wine, but no fruit drinks, only compote. The appetizers include a few salads and a platter of lard, among other options. We enjoy good food, but I have to say I don’t want to return because of the kitchen! The music mostly plays retro hits from the '90s, with the occasional more recent song. There is a service charge of 150 rubles per person in the evening, and you can dance if you'd like. The average check is around 800 rubles per person. We hope to see some changes in the menu.

--- **Amazing Café Review** I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Amazing Café, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and lively, with colorful decor and friendly staff ready to assist. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried their signature dish, and it was absolutely delicious – bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The coffee was also extraordinary, perhaps the best I’ve had in a long time. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive, which made for a pleasant dining experience. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful recommendations from the staff. Overall, the Amazing Café is a fantastic spot for a casual meal or even a special occasion. I can’t wait to return and try more of their offerings! --- Feel free to let me know if you need any further modifications!

The cuisine is quite good, and the dining area is spacious.

The restaurant has a different name and has a retro theme, styled to resemble a Soviet atmosphere. The food is delicious—everything is authentic and fresh.

The banquet hall is enormous.
