Local shashlik place

We took our visitors to the local kebab/shashlik place just down the street from our apartment building. Mission for the night: Local shashlik and vodka, with a beer now and then… And we all agreed, it was a great Monday night!
We got our own room in the back of the restaurant, a clever move by the girl that worked there. We were pretty loud after a while… 2 guest from Norway, 2 Scots, 1 Canadian, 3 Norwegian girls, great combo!
The girl at the restaurant did not speak a word English, but I must say, Kristin and I managed to order food and drinks for all 8 of us in "Russian", and we even got what we thought we ordered, pretty good!! It took quite some time to get the food, but we spent the time wisely, enjoyed the complimentary bread and dip, and had a couple of decanters of vodka… we made a toast for just about everything possible… The rice, cartoffel purée and the cartoffel fri came 30 min before the meat…. But the meat was great when it eventually came. After we had emptied the restaurant for the best vodka, we had to try the rest on the list, they had 25 different vodkas. The conclusion was that Russian Standard is the best!!
