Delicious stuffed cabbage @ Veselka in East Village New York

Veselka is a traditional Ukrainian 24 hours restaurant located in East Village of New York City. This shop was established in 1954. I chose to go to Veselka since based on my research, it was one of the best. I came here to try out their stuffed cabbage which was indeed delicious. This is a great choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner while in New York City. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for classic and delicious Ukrainian eats.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The stuffed cabbage contains pork and rice topped with mushroom gravy were flavourful, tasty and tender. The side order of Ukrainian beet does complement this meal very well. I love the sweetness and refreshing taste of the beet).
Price:5/10(Moderate. By New York standard, the meal here is considered as reasonable. The staffed vegetable priced at USD15.75 and hot chocolate at USD3.25).


This is the delicious meal of stuffed cabbage. The stuffed cabbage rolled with pork, rice and covered with thick flavourful mushroom gravy.


The beet taste naturally sweet, refreshing and tasty. The colour is obviously purple.
