Borscht, vegan or beef
Borscht is offered in both vegan and beef versions, simmered with beetroot and root vegetables and served with sour cream — the same soup covered in depth on our Slavic and Ukrainian cuisine hubs.
Mercimek, red lentil soup
Mercimek is a smooth, blended Turkish red lentil soup, usually finished with a squeeze of lemon and served with warm bread — lighter and quicker to eat than borscht, but built on the same idea of a long-simmered base.
Broccoli soup with smoked salmon
This soup pairs a blended broccoli base with smoked salmon, sitting apart from the Slavic and Turkish traditions as a more contemporary addition to the soup list.
The salad list
SkaZka Caesar, CousCous Salad, Watermelon & Feta, Mozzarella Caprese and Beetroot & Feta cover a range from classic to Mediterranean-leaning, and any of them works as a starter before soup or a main.
