By chance I saw this new, interesting looking place. The lady helping me figuring out what I would want to order was very friendly showing me the different products they're selling. I came home with pelmeni (with meat) and wereniki (with potatoes and onions). Both were delicious! Next time we'll order another dish, since 2 dishes didn't completely fill our hungry stomach.

Sehr lecker! Pelmeni mit Hähnchen & Wareniki mit Kartoffeln und Zwiebeln – sehr, sehr lecker. Man kann die Speisen auch vorgekocht TK mitnehmen – sehr gutes Konzept. Schmeckt wirklich wie bei Oma

This is more of a takeaway than a café. But I loved the food and the friendly staff.

My husband and I stopped for a little dinner before going swimming at olantis and it was a perfect place. The service was amazing!! And the food was delicious, I can't wait to come back. We had homemade cherry juice, chicken and mushroom pancakes and the potato and onion wareniki. Absolutely a treat and finally something new and delicious in oldenburg!

Das Essen bei Tante Sonia ist sehr lecker und frisch. Wir haben Wareniki, Pfannkuchen und Khachapuri bestellt und waren begeistert. Der Service war sehr freundlich und das Essen wurde schnell zubereitet. Wir haben vor Ort an einem Stehtisch das Essen gegessen. Wenn man sitzen will, müsste man aktuell das Essen nach Hause mitnehmen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

My husband and I went to Tante Sonia’s for dinner and ordered the chicken dumplings and the meat and cheese khachapouri. The food was *delicious* and portion sizes generous. The complementary cherry juice was a nice touch, and the owner is friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back!

Ich war heute zum ersten Mal dort und bin sehr angetan. Die gefüllten Pfannkuchen werden in echter Butter gebraten, was man riecht und schmeckt. Ich war leider zu satt, um noch mehr auszuprobieren, komme aber definitiv wieder. Auf die Nüsse in Kondensmilch, die ich noch mitgenommen habe, bin ich sehr gespannt.
