Skazka

Don’t know where all the bad reviews come from, I was there for an event on Sunday afternoon and it was fantastic, plenty of delicious food, gracious service, comfortable seating, we enjoyed everything we tried.

Delicious russian food. Ordered a bunch of items and got to try a little bit of everything.
Not sure what everything was called but the salmon was awesome. The different sauces are also a great addition to the meal. This other fish that looked like branzino (but wasn’t) was flaky and delightful.
The salads were fresh and the whole meal was very well balanced.

The waiter got my order wrong twice!!! Came here at 7.30, started eating at 9.45. 2 hour wait and still got the wrong food. What a terrible place!

Had a birthday party there and closed out the place. They have messed up the starting time and the cooks showed up two hours late. there was no bread either. they had to go across the street to buy it from Sahara. Once the food arrived, it was decent.
The place is not kept well. I had to ask them repeatedly to sweep the floors. The bathroom was disgusting: bins full of garbage, no toilet paper.
The waiters tried their best, but it was not enough.

Celebrated the New Year’s eve at this place. Eh. Nothing was overly offensive, but the portions were small and the food was very generic. The fish portion was tiny and overcooked. The meat tasted fine, but the portion was small as well. Potatoes with Chanterreles — the usual russian staple — those weren’t chanterreles and the potatoes were deep fried. Looks like they cut every possible corner on the food. Waiters just stood around looking important with their earpieces, but did not pour anyone drinks and limited themselves to changing the plates twice in the 3 – 4 hours we were theres. Music was so so, as well. Poor audio system and three singers, pretty much, karaokeing from a laptop. I had a good time due to the company I was with, but the venue itself is very meh. I am guessing they’ve made a killing that night given the difference between the prices charged and the food provided, but they will pay for it in the long run due to the lack of repeat business. Won’t come back.

Was there for birthday party food was very good service was ok. Coca cola was bad I don’t know how owner let them serve it on the table too much sugar can’t drink it

Visited the location for a banquet — the food quality and service were typical of other south brooklyn banquet halls but this one succeeded at distinguishing itself before anyone walked in.
Upon driving into the «Skazka Parking» lot, some bloke ran up to the window and started, in broken Russian, to demand a $ 10 fee. While I was busy explaining that I was there for an event, the guy stammered something roughly translated to «no-​one here gonna do anything for free». Now, it wasn’t clear what he was supposed to do, and maybe he was upset we didn’t use him in a «valet» capacity to park our car, but we figured that with this figure running around it was best to park elsewhere. I later confirmed no-​one paid a $ 10 fee (it was tips only) — so it’s completely unclear what he was up to.
My thoughts are that any other Russian restaurant without a shady parking operation is better than this one.

I order banquet for in Alaska for my big celebration. After discussing all menus and fee I know what I hasve to pay. But after party was over more fee pops up. Kitchen fee, service fee etc. Wow I was surprised. Manager told me now that price we discussed was without it. I feel cheated. Can’t complain about food and services it was good. Music was taking a long breaks and by 11:30 it was over. I’ll choose another place next year.

I was very pleasantly surprised with Skazka. Having read all the bad Unilocal reviews and hearing negative feedback from my friends, I was prepared for the worst. However, we were greeted by a beautifully served tables, very galant and attentive wait staff and pleasant ambiance. The food was fresh and delicious. There was a raw seafood tower, tuna tar tar, smoked salmon, craw fish salad — all super fresh and masterfully served. Salds were well seasoned and did not drown is suspicious looking dressings, as it could often happen in Russian banquet halls.
Two of the things I enjoyed the most were beef and potato stews served in crispy bread bowls and foie gras served on toasts with currant sauce.
All in all an extremely pleasant experience — I would urge giving this place another chance.

Love the food if you really want to taste kavkazi shish kebabs come to Skazka restaurant and see it for your self food is simply amazing service is outstanding and a big thank you to the owner Vlad whom i had pleasure to meet.

Never never never go to this place! They serve you the leftovers from the banquets they had a night before. I am not even joking. This place is horrible and I’m happy I survived the food-​poisoning I had there. And from what I know, I’m not the only one. Stay away from this place.

Pleasantly surprised! The best part was the service but the food was delicious and the location is spacious and pleasant. Fried eggplant, potatoes with mushrooms, lox olivie, and seabass shashlik were DIVINE! Russian Napoleon and French Napoleon were excellent. Tiramisu was good. Other dishes were great too. Bilingual friendly and knowledgeable waiters. They even offered the bridal suite for me to nurse and helped my grandma up and down the stairs. It’s not cheap but very worth it. We’ll be back!

This is a terrible russian restaurant. This place makes all russian places look bad, the food does not represent russian food. We have much better places. Please go to any other place and you will at least enjoy something.

Last Saturday was at Skazka.
Overprized food, service very poor
They charge you 24.95 just for fried potatoes with mushrooms. See bas kebab taste did not meet the expectations. I think if you charge $ 27.00 for 3 small pieces of fish, you should at list make it tasty. I would not advise my friend to go were, much better alternative is NARGIZ.

Came here for a birthday celebration. For the amount I believe the birthday girl paid, it wasn’t worth it. Music sucked and there wasn’t enough food for us all (i believe they ordered a banquet which is supposed to feed all of us.)
Wish we went elsewhere, I left starving.

Great place for celebrating any occasions! From small birthdays to big weddings! They have plenty of space. The food is delicious and fresh. Try their Napoleon!!! It’s amazing! They also have live music. The owner is nice and will help with everything. Highly recommend!

I had dinner here with a few friends and we had a horrible time. Never going back to this shit hole again. The staff was disrespectful and are schemers. We gave them a 12% tip and they were still ungrateful, making a scene at our table which was very embarrassing. Another thing, this place is extremely tiny. I couldn’t hear my friend speaking to me from across the table hahahhaa. Ridiculous! Never Again! If Zagat had a party here on weekend, this place would be shut down…

The food and atmosphere is reminiscent of most banquet style russian restaurants in brooklyn; no surprises there: good food, attentive service, but man does the music suck =/​I think I’m jaded because I’ve been to these places literally 800 times, but my opinion is defninitely not one that’s out of the ordinary.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
I am a little shocked by all these negative reviews! Skazka is absolutely amazing! From the food, which is to die for, to the atmosphere, service, décor and music. They have the freshest food which is cooked well and tastes delicious! It is a fancy restaurant, so dress to impress, unless you are going for lunch or something.
You can go there for a party or for a regular lunch date! Their décor is beautiful and the service is great! TIP: You will most likely need to make a reservation or call ahead in advance especially for a big party because they get busy fast, mostly during the evening time.
I’ve been here a million times and it never disappoints! The music is fun and for all ages. They play good, old school Russian music as well as, new, and popular English songs. Overall, a great time!
I have NEVER had a bad time @ Skazka. I was actually recently there in November and can’t wait to go back for someone else’s birthday celebration!!!

Came here during the day for one of my friend’s son first birthday party. The restaurant was fancy and it matches the style of the birthday party. The main dining room in the back, we had a bouncy castle and approximately 7 long tables. The long tables had an array of food laid out when we first came in.
My friend and I already knew that we were in for a big feast! There was shrimp, smoked salmon, eggplant, lamb, chicken, beef, traditional dishes which I am not familiar with the name. The food kept coming and coming. The servers were soo attentively and kept serving us food and drinks! Overall, the food was decent — some were bland while others were quite tasty. The dessert was the best with the phyllo crust with custard filling.
Food could have been better but service was great. There is apparently parking next to the restaurant. Don’t park outside unless you want to park for 1 hr.
