The food was absolutely extraordinary—I enjoyed every bite! The owners were incredibly friendly. I highly recommend the borscht and the beef with mushrooms.

A truly authentic classic Ukrainian restaurant in London! I had such a pleasant dinner at Albina with my friends. Six of us ordered different food, and everyone was very happy with their dish! As Ukrainians we know how it should taste - trust me, it should taste like in Albina. The food is lovely tasty and the portions are very generous. Particularly recommend the deruny - potato pancakes - the best in London for sure. Staff always friendly and attentive - well done guys

My visit was a while ago, but thought I would leave a review as I really enjoyed the experience! So was my first visit to Ukrainian cuisine and I was very happy with what I had eaten. Food was served warm and delicious, first time I had Soljanka Saltwort Soup and i was very happy with this dish. Staff were very friendly and welcome you straight away, had a friendly smile and come and spoke with you with the right amount of checking on you to ensure you have everything you needed. The restaurant was slightly busy when attending but when busy the atmosphere would be great. I would go back! and planning too at some point.

This establishment is a treasure for those seeking an authentic Ukrainian culinary experience! The food is delectable and offered at great prices. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with interior decor that makes you feel like you are in Ukraine and not in London. The staff is incredibly friendly and hospitable, enriching our visit by sharing snippets of Ukrainian culture and language. I am eager to return and would highly recommend a visit to anyone!

It’s a very pleasant experience to have this kind of service, food, and authenticity in London. You can feel you’re in Ukraine. Very welcoming people, food was authentic and exceptional. The prices were extremely reasonable and affordable. Many places in Central London would love to have these featuresTBH! Well done guys! I’ll be happy to pop in again soon and try the infusions (vodka with different flavours) and other topical dishes! BRAVO!

It was my first time dining at Restaurant Albina, I loved how authentic the restaurant was inside and how cosy it felt. I was greeted by the waitress who was very friendly and helped me with the menu as I couldn’t decide from all the tasty options! I ended up having the chicken/pasta soup with a warm bread bun. The soup was delicious, a clear broth with lots of flavour - and I loved how light but filling it was. The bun was the perfect add on. For dessert I had the cherry dumplings - I will definitely be coming back for those! Overall I had a really great meal, the food and atmosphere is very comforting and gives a lovely family/friendly vibe. Thank you Albina for a wonderful meal! I will definitely be returning!
