When we arrived for Sunday lunch the room was set up for a large party and the server wasn't sure what to do with us. We were seated by a window and perused the placemat menus. The food choices reflect Moldova's geographical position in Eastern Europe between Romania and Ukraine.
We chose: borsht, a hearty mixed vegetable soup, $4.99; kishineu, a surprisingly tasty cold dish made with thick slices of fried eggplant topped with with mayonnaise, grated cheese & tomatoes, $4.99 [pictured here]; chicken tabaka, spicy marinated, cornish hen, $13.99; chicken breast shishkebob with rice, $10.99; coffee $0.99 a cup; jug of water on the table.
Total for four generous lunches - $55.37 plus tip.
