One of my favorite Russian restaurants. On weekends they have music and it is usually more lively. However I enjoy weekday lunches or dinners here when it is more quiet. I came tonight with my mom. We ordered Julienne to begin with. It was delicious with the perfect amount of mushrooms, cream, and cheese. We then had our entrees. I ordered chicken kebob and my mom ordered rabbit. Both plates came with a salad and a choice of a side(potatoes, rice, french fries, etc). The food was fantastic and there was nothing really I could critique. We also ordered Kompote to drink… if you haven’t tried it, I HIGHLY recommend it! The drink is one of the main reasons I keep coming back to this restaurant. Not too many Russian Restaurants offer it. Over all fantastic service, easy parking, great atmosphere, and delicious food. And this is coming from someone who is of Russian origin.

This place is a hidden gem in the valley it’s upstairs in a very unassuming corner strip mall on ventura but the food, the food here is to die for I have tried several dishes here everything has been amazing I have yet to be let down by this place. The rabbit in cream sauce is rich and delicious with the potatoes, the stroganoff is out of this world and one of the waiters recommend I try dumping it over the fries one of my favorite dishes now. If you are in the area give it a shot.

I was here last weekend and had a fantastic dinner!!! This is now my FAVORITE Russian restaurant. Everything we had was incredible. I loved the atmosphere of the place especially when it lights up. What stood out to me the absolute most was their service! Every single person working did not miss a beat. Arthur is super charming and welcoming. Everyone who come to this place should try Vareniki. It’s the best !!! I highly recommend this restaurant ! :) Can’t wait to come back !!! :)

I was looking for something new and well-liked in Encino and saw that Moonlight had good Unilocal ratings. My son and I tried it this Friday night, and had an excellent meal. Thank you, fellow Unilocalers — you steered us right. This restaurant is on the second floor of a strip mall, and is basically a large banquet room on what would appear to be the second-floor balcony. It’s very brightly lit, and there are large TV screens along one wall that play Russian music videos. My son, who has been to Russia twice, said he felt like he was walking into a place in Russia. We arrived about 8:30 pm, and by then it had pretty much cleared out.(I hope they do better business earlier; I want them to stay around a long time.) We shared an appetizer of pelmeni — boiled beef dumplings. They were outstanding. The plate was $ 14, but there were easily enough dumplings for 3 or 4 people. I could have made a meal out of these alone and been very happy. We both had beef stroganoff, with roasted new potatoes. I know, not particularly adventurous, but quite delicious. Easily the best version of this dish I have ever had. I can’t wait to go back to have it again. The plate came with a traditional Russian salad of cucumbers and tomatoes with red onion and fresh dill and parsley. The tomatoes were clearly some kind of heirloom, and were perfectly ripe. Someone in the kitchen is obviously taking a great deal of care in choosing ingredients. This place does not have a liquor license, so I assume you can bring your own wine or beer. We had a pitcher of Kompot, homemade Russian fruit punch. It was quite good, sweet, but not overpowering. Overall, I was impressed with the evident care taken in the kitchen for all the dishes, both in sourcing ingredients and in preparation. The potatoes were roasted perfectly, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Everything we ordered was delicious. Parking is a little confusing: If you enter from Ventura(heading east) you can park in the surface spaces in the strip mall; if you enter on the cross-street, Newcastle, you can’t get into the surface lot, but you can park below ground.

I don’t often leave reviews, however, I feel Artur deserves this. Immediately I was prompted with a friendly welcome and was sat down to a very cozy environment. I started with beef soup, which was delicious! For my main entrée I had the lamb, rice and cucumber salad. I think I have found my new go to spot for a delicious relaxing meal. I will most definitely return, and will spread the word about the delicious food and great over all experience I had at moonlight restaurant.

Hidden gem with amazing stroganoff and chicken kebab! Don’t be fooled if it is as empty as when we walked in… Pleasantly surprised. :)

We went to moonlight to celebrate a milestone birthday for my sister in law. The place is cute with lights and very airy with windows all through the restaurant overlooking Ventura blvd. it a perfect place for small parties and gatherings. They have a live band that plays mostly Russian music but also the dj plays other tunes. The food is very good and fresh. The service is outstanding and very friendly. It’s a family style dining where you get pretty baby 5 courses. First are the variety of appetizers then a warm appetizer then the main dishes arrive. After some dancing and loosening up you get to enjoy dessert such as fruit or other items from the menu. We had bought our own cake so I’m not sure what other dessert they offer. All in all it was a good experience. If you are celebrating a birthday or special occasion with several friends this is a great place to go to.

Love love this place! Don’t come here in a rush… It will be a leisurely amazing meal. The vareneki were fabulous. Onions sautéed with potato filled dumplings. Stroganoff was so delicious! Beef and chicken kabob soft flavorful and tasty Wait staff very nice. Lobster was a super big hit and only $ 20! We will be back!

Excellent food and excellent service! Came here on the 4th of July and was blown away. I’m Ukrainian so I can be picky with native dishes but these guys nailed it. Definitely come here for a party or just to eat.
