The Foundation of Flavor

We believe that the best dishes start with the best ingredients. Our commitment to quality is absolute, from the soil to your table.

🌿

Farm-Fresh Produce

Our vegetables are the stars of many of our dishes, and we treat them with the respect they deserve. The deep, earthy sweetness of our Borscht comes from organic beetroots sourced from a family-run farm in Sussex. The crispness in our salads is thanks to daily deliveries of fresh greens. We work with the seasons, meaning our menu reflects the best of British agriculture, lending a unique, local character to our traditional Russian recipes. This farm-to-kitchen pipeline ensures maximum flavor and nutritional value in every bite.

🥩

Ethically-Sourced Meats

The heartiness of Russian cuisine often relies on high-quality meat. We partner exclusively with butchers who can provide full traceability and adhere to the highest standards of animal welfare. Our beef for Stroganoff is grass-fed and aged for at least 28 days to ensure tenderness and depth of flavor. The pork and beef for our Pelmeni are sourced from free-range animals, resulting in a cleaner, more succulent filling. This ethical approach isn't just a moral choice; it's a culinary one, as happy animals produce superior tasting meat.

🥛

Artisanal Dairy

Dairy products like Smetana (sour cream) and Tvorog (farmer's cheese) are the soul of many Russian dishes and desserts. We source ours from a small, local dairy that uses traditional methods and milk from a single herd of Jersey cows. This results in a Smetana that is richer, creamier, and more complex than any mass-produced alternative. The Tvorog for our Syrniki is delicate and fresh, giving the pancakes their signature light and fluffy texture. It's a difference you can taste instantly.

Curated Meal Bundles

Perfect for families, gatherings, or a complete Russian dining experience for two. Save on our most popular combinations.

A Tribute to Tradition

Russian cuisine is a living history, a collection of stories told through taste and aroma. Each dish on our menu is more than a recipe; it's a piece of cultural heritage. Consider the Borscht. Its origins are ancient, debated by nations, but its place in the heart of Slavic homes is undeniable. It's a soup that reflects the land, using humble, root vegetables to create something profoundly rich and satisfying. Or the Pelmeni, small dumplings that traveled with hunters and explorers across the vast, cold expanse of Siberia. Their simple, nourishing form was a practical source of sustenance, a warm comfort in a harsh climate. At RusCuisine, we see ourselves as custodians of these stories. We don't just replicate flavors; we strive to honor the context, the history, and the generations of home cooks who perfected these dishes. We use time-honored techniques, like slow-simmering our broths for hours and hand-folding every single dumpling, because we believe the process is as important as the product. This is our tribute to the enduring power and beauty of tradition.

Dietary & Allergen Guide

Your health and safety are our priority. We provide clear information to help you dine with confidence.

We understand the importance of catering to various dietary needs. While traditional Russian cuisine is hearty, we have adapted several recipes to be accessible to more people. Please note that all our food is prepared in a kitchen where nuts, gluten, dairy, and other allergens are present. While we take the utmost care to prevent cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee any dish is 100% free from allergens.

  • Vegetarian Options: Look for the (V) symbol on our menu. We offer delicious vegetarian versions of Pirozhki (cabbage or potato & mushroom), Vareniki (potato dumplings, similar to Pelmeni), and a hearty Mushroom Solyanka.
  • Allergen Information: A full list of allergens (e.g., gluten, dairy, nuts, celery) is available for every dish. Please click on a menu item to see its detailed description or contact our customer service team if you have a specific question.
  • Special Requests: If you have a mild intolerance, please leave a note in your order, and our chefs will do their best to accommodate, though we cannot guarantee all requests can be met. For severe allergies, we advise against ordering to ensure your safety.

Best Enjoyed Hot: Reheating Guide

Our packaging keeps food warm, but for optimal flavor, here are our chefs' recommendations.

Soups (Borscht, Solyanka)

Gently reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering. Do not boil. Add the smetana just before serving.

Stroganoff & Dumplings

For best results, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until hot. Alternatively, warm in a covered pan over low heat.

Baked & Fried Items (Pirozhki, Chicken Kiev)

To restore crispiness, place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our kitchen is open for delivery orders from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week, including most bank holidays. You can place an order for a future time slot at any time through our website.

Due to the traditional nature of our recipes and our focus on consistency, we offer limited customizations. You can leave a note for minor requests like "no dill" or "extra smetana," and we will do our best to accommodate. We cannot, however, fundamentally change a recipe's core ingredients.

Smetana is a type of sour cream that is a staple in Eastern European cuisine. It's richer and less sour than Western sour cream and is used in everything from soups to desserts. Tvorog is a fresh, soft curd cheese, similar to farmer's cheese or quark. It's the key ingredient in our Syrniki pancakes and many other pastries.

Absolutely. We are deeply committed to sustainability. All of our food containers are made from plant-based, compostable materials. The outer delivery bags are made from recycled paper. We encourage you to compost or recycle all packaging after enjoying your meal.

We offer several delicious vegetarian options, clearly marked with a (V) on our menu. These include dishes like Cabbage Pirozhki and Potato Vareniki. Due to the heavy use of dairy and eggs in traditional Russian cuisine, our vegan options are currently limited, but we are actively developing new recipes. Please check our Dietary Guide section for more info.

For the best experience, we recommend consuming your meal immediately upon arrival. However, if you need to store it, all dishes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Please follow our reheating guide for best results when you're ready to eat.
