Qirim - Bucha

Qirim provides a great menu of Crimean based food that is reasonably priced, from an American 's perspective, especially for the amount of food you get. Three of us went there for dinner and were met with very friendly staff and a helpful, spunky, server. It sits on the Northeastern edge of Independence Square with a good view of the musical fountain. Watching the fountain from our seats was a treat as we could see the light and water show easily. I had a Tatar salad and shared a Tabah of Chebureks with my colleagues. 5 beef and 5 lamb. The Chebureks were good, the lamb being the best of the two, but are very greasy. Our server recommended we use knife and fork. They are not crispy fried, but are soft and not fully stuffed with the meat. We also ordered the Richness of Taste platter which included salads, sauces, and beef shasklik-kebab pieces. It was a fantastic platter with generous amounts of meat and sauces. Many tables around us had the same platter and shared it among 2-3 people. Overall, this was a great place to eat and I would go there again if there weren 't so many other places to try while I am here in Kyiv!

Overall I was very happy with this restaurant, and right in the middle of the square as well. I am looking forward to trying this restaurant out again.

Very nice terras with good overview of the maidan. We only had coffee and that was perfect. But ... I also had Çäkçäk. That's really strange. Personally i didn't like it but it's all about personal taste.

I’ve been to this restaurant several times. The food is very good, special the cheburek and Yantic. Also , the soups and salads are excellent as well. But the music is always very loud so I stopped going there. The staff told me the music cannot be turned down lower. So, while I am there it’s hard to speak to anyone, or make phone calls. That’s too bad I really like the food and the interior at Qirim.

Bad customer service. They tried to sell expensive items in the menu. I had to several times say i know what I want. Also they charged 10% servising for this annoying experience. I haven’t seen “tip is included” message in the menu. I am not sure if tip is included for Ukrainians or not. Another shady business.
