Sasha's is a great find. Although having a very limited menu, the luncheon offerings are interesting, giving the limited kitchen. Some of the food is from the very cans and jars sold on the premises, but some of it is home made. It's a thrill to have a chance to experience what no other restaurant in Austin can provide. The selections in the Deli part of the store are interesting. Whether you want to make Okroshka (using bottled Kvas) or Borsch or a unique fish dish, there are many items from which to choose. The owners are very helpful. It's good to get to know them, because they can help you a lot with expanding your tastes and interests.
Pros: Service is friendly, try the dumplings, ask a lot of personal questions and learn about Russian food
Cons: Limited space; like eating in a busy deli, surely not for a romantic date
