The menu offers a wide variety of Russian dishes, from pierogi to blintzes to borscht. As the Nashville Scene suggests, it's probably best to treat your dining there as a tapas experience, ordering a lot of little things that add up to the chance to try a lot of different dishes.
During my visit I was the only diner in the restaurant, and the waitress gave me her full attention, helping me look through the menu and decide what I wanted. I chose a potato piroshky and little beef dumplings, along with Turkish coffee. The piroshky was a downer, warm on the outside but still cold on the inside. But I loved the dumplings and would have been full after eating just them. They came with a tasty accompaniment of sour cream and fresh chopped dill.
The Turkish coffee was very thick and rich and went well with the cheese blintzes I ordered for dessert, which came with a topping of sour cherries.Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Taste of Russia, and it was nice to get away from the hullabaloo of the businesses on the west side of I-65. Be sure to check them out!

We went to ToR a couple weeks ago too. We were one of two tables in there. It is hard to find, and we could not see the restaurant from the road. The glubkies and they were pretty good. M's mom used to make them very similarly, so he was happy. We got a few varieties of dumplings, they were good, but we were not wowed by them. I am thinking at least one set of dumplings may not have been house made, rather they were frozen and made my a food distributor. I really liked the blintzes. We got black currant on the side. I have never had a blintze I liked before this one.
Lannae,
I feel much the same about my visit as you did yours. I was the only diner there on my visit. And I had to call the restaurant to figure out where it was.
