It's at the Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral at 349 E 47th Av. (47th and Logan).One block north and 3 blocks west of I-70 and Washington.

We sampled:

Romanian samale (cabbage rolls with pork and rice) and tocanita (chicken stewed in butter and cream);

Russian piroshki (bread stuffed with ground meat), salad of crab, eggs and pickles, pelmini with sour cream (dumplings like pot stickers filled with ground meat), pancakes with strawberry jam and sour cream;

Greek baklava and Serbian chesnica (like baklava but with raisins inside and sweeter).

Never got to the BBQ pork and brisket, Italian sausage, Mexican tamales, or the Greek lamb sandwiches and souvlaki. The whole lamb on a spit wasn't ready yet. We did bring home a whole GermansSouth St Louis Gooey Butter cake for dessert tonight. The prices are cheap--we only spent $25 including $8.00 for the whole cake!

YES, they serve beer and wine, too. The people watching was as much fun as the food. An Ethiopian Orthodox wedding was going on in the church and it was fascinating. They are also having music and tours of the church. This is well worth a visit.
