EASTERN EUROPEAN CUISINE

No trip to the Bath House is complete without an authentic Eastern European meal. We’re incredibly proud of our freshly cooked dishes, snacks and drinks, all prepared with love by our in-house chefs.

What types of food are traditionally cooked at the banya?

At the banya, it’s common to prepare hearty, rustic dishes like roasted meats, baked potatoes, fresh bread, and pickled vegetables. All our dishes and some soft drinks are made in-house by our chefs. Vegetarian options are available.

Why do people eat at the banya?

Eating at the banya is a social tradition in Eastern Europe. After the intense heat of the banya, people enjoy a meal together to relax, replenish energy, and bond over good food and drinks.

Popular dishes include borscht (beet soup) with rye bread, vareniki (vegetarian dumplings), and soleniya (pickled vegetables). These are often accompanied by tea, kvass, or vodka. For dessert, we offer medovik (honey cake).

“The food was delicious! I ordered beer with shrimp and dumplings, and I haven’t found such a great combo of tasty food, excellent service, and relaxing treatments anywhere else in London. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone tired of the unpredictable summer weather in London”.
