Authentic Russian/Eastern European deli-restaurant and banquet caterer known for caviar, smoked fish, and generous banquet spreads, with standout hospitality but mixed reports on store product freshness and pricing transparency.
Kashtan delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality in traditional Eastern European fare and warm, attentive service that shines during banquets and catering events. However, documented food safety concerns and inconsistent deli freshness prevent a higher grade—the restaurant excels as an event destination but shows reliability gaps in its market operation. Best experienced for catering, caviar sourcing, and family celebrations rather than casual deli visits.
One caveat: Deli freshness complaints including spoiled pickles and off-smelling fish appear in multiple recent reviews
