Since 1954, VESELKA has been serving up Ukrainian food from the same location in the heart of the East Village.
Veselka expanded in 1966, it took over a store front on East Ninth Street and the new additional space was referred to as the “Blue Room”, it was a separate dining room off the small front room, this area was often used by my grandfather/founder as his private meeting room for his cronies as well as of course dining area.

5 months agoI happened to be in the area and decided to visit this establishment for a meal. The restaurant was mostly full, but we only had to wait approximately five minutes to be seated outdoors. The prices were reasonable, and the food appeared to be fresh. However, I made the mistake of choosing an outdoor seat, as there were a significant number of mosquitoes. On a positive note, the waiter was very pleasant.

6 months agoGreat Ukrainian restaurant in the heart of NYC. Extensive menu with a good choice of soups, pierogis, potato pancakes, deserts. You must try their borscht, cherry or meat dumplings and of course honey cake! Very kind service and large terrace. This place is an institution! 🇺🇦

6 months agoI'm Ukrainian and that's my statement: the borscht is delicious! Like my mother's one. Honey cake is highly recommended. And there is the only place where I've found buckwheat kasha. Everything is great!

5 months agoThis was a whole new experience for me. The food was subtle yet flavorful. Lots of vegetarian options. The staff were amazing too!

4 months agoWe were seated right away, ordered and our food was out in a out 10 min. The service was top notch as was the food. I had the lobster pierogi which was delicious followed by Drunken Chocolate Cherry cake which was amazing. The cake was moist soaked in rum but very mild and the center was a chocolate mousse with cherry.
