Situated in leafy Primrose Hill, along a particularly pleasant stretch of Regent’s Park Road, what better place than Trojka for dinner on a summer’s evening? I had been promised gorgeous decor and even more gorgeous waitresses, they delivered on the first. But the jazz guitarist was an unexpected bonus! OK, we did get charged a 2 pound “music fee” on the bill, but with Ukrainian borsch at only 2.95 and mains at around 8 quid, you don’t feel ripped off here, just remember where it is!

Highly recommended.

I discovered this restaurant recently when my whole family went out to eat to celebrate my brother’s birthday - it’s great for large parties because it’s so affordable and really great quality, plus most people haven’t had Russian food before so it’s a bit different and exciting! Their soups are really great, and the ratatouille was a hit.I’d really recommend it.

First went to Trojka when it was a friend’s birthday party, and what a little gem! Since then I must have taken all my other good friends when they come to visit me.
I have never had Russian food before this one, and I fell in love with it after my first try.
I love their chicken kiev, their russian tea, ratatouille, and their soups. My Romanian friend also told me Trojka is authentically Russian.
The price is another strength. It is so cheap to have a good lunch or dinner here without blowing the budget, each time I go I feel it’s a nice bargain. I usually spend £8-10 to have a tea, a main course, and a side order.

A great restaurant in the heart of Primrose Hill, serving Russian and Eastern-bloc food - served by authentic Russian/Eastern European staff! Dishes and ingredients that I hadn’t heard of since I was young (I hadn’t really made the connection between the food in my family and my Russian ancestry…) were on the menu, much to my delight. This stuff is simple food - stews, goulashes, fish, sour cream, beetroot - and it’s delicious. It’s not all peasant food though, I had raw salmon with smoked salmon and fish roe which I actually could not fault - the flavours were subtle and delicate. The main dishes are hearty and generous and none of it feels bad for you (apart from the obligatory side order of chips). The wine list is good and you can spend a lot if you want. We opted for the cheaper, and more 'authentic’ option of Bulgarian wine. Big mistake, and I can drink really horrible wine normally! Highly recommend. You’ll probably need to book if going in an evening. Plenty of lovely pubs nearby to drink in after.

Beautiful, lovely place! Trojka serves original Russian dishes - some lovelier than others, depending on your taste. For a light lunch the Ukrainian borschtch with rye bread is perfect followed by a cake. Potato latkes with sour cream are my favourite, followed by pierogi. They do dumplings! (Meat ones and vegetarian, although you do need a certain constitution (or to be Irish) for combined potato and cabbage.) There is a lot of meat and a lot of herring, but enough choice for vegetarians too. They have a children’s meal, and chips and other side dishes for those who aren’t tempted by the unusual. There is a lovely selection of breakfasts too, at low prices. Inside is a comfortable holiday feel, deep dark yellow walls making it warm and welcoming. On Fridays and Saturdays they have live Russian music (£1 per head cover charge). The prices are very reasonable especially considering the area - main courses about £7-9. And of course they do caviar and vodka. On sunny days you can sit outside with Russian tea or a vodka or two and watch the posh Primrose Hilly world go by.
