5/10We visited Burjineli Restaurant on Valentine’s Day hoping for a cozy, enjoyable dinner with friends. The food was okay — nothing bad, but not particularly memorable either. Unfortunately, the service and atmosphere affected the experience more than the food itself. The lighting was very bright, which didn’t match the Valentine’s mood, and at one point a staff member loudly called across the restaurant about the air conditioning, disturbing everyone. At our table we had people speaking English, Portuguese, and Russian. Even though English is mentioned as available, the waitress chose to communicate mostly with one person and seemed to ignore others trying to engage, which felt rude. There was also some confusion with timing — we were asked about desserts while still waiting quite a while for the main dishes. Overall, the evening felt less enjoyable than expected mainly because of the service, and unfortunately we don’t plan to return.

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience was not as expected. As we had a 'double seating' that evening, we unfortunately couldn't provide our usual level of individual attention to every guest. Regarding the desserts: since your reservation was at 9:00 PM and our kitchen closes at 10:30 PM (restaurant closes at 11:00 PM), the waiter asked early to ensure you could place an order before the kitchen closed. Regarding the language barrier: not all of our staff members are fluent in English. Had you asked for an English-speaking waiter, we would have been happy to assist you personally to avoid any misunderstanding. We have taken your notes about the lighting and service into account. We hope you might give us another chance on a quieter evening. Best regards, The Management of Burjineli

6/10Dark beer on tap was a nice treat. The pancakes with salmon and caviar was delicious though cleared from the table before we were finished. The stroganoff was dry and lacked flavor. The chicken Kiev was okay.

This is an amazing place where you truly feel at home thanks to the incredibly delicious food. I am Ukrainian and I know the taste of real homemade cuisine — and this restaurant pleasantly surprised us from the very first dishes. We had borscht with salo — rich, authentic and absolutely fantastic. The stuffed cabbage rolls were tender and truly homemade. We couldn’t decide on dessert, but the incredibly kind waiter described all the options so appetizingly that we chose the syrnyky — and they literally melted in our mouths. Very friendly staff, a warm atmosphere, and special thanks for the Ukrainian music — favorite hits from the 2000s and modern songs made the evening even more special. I truly recommend this place to everyone who wants to try authentic Ukrainian cuisine and feel real warmth and hospitality. ❤️🇺🇦

First time trying ucranian food, and it was great, service was very friendly as well :) Prices are fair for the most part, specially for that area of the city, but for a full meal be prepared to pay around 25-30 euros pp

Delicious homemade food, friendly staff and cosy environment. All dishes are cooked when ordered, so they can take some 20/25 minutes to prepare, but they were kind enough to suggest two quick options as I didn’t have much time. The borscht was nothing short of amazing!!!

10/10Booked Burjinelli for dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised! The place is relaxed yet sophisticated, and the food was comforting and vibrant, exactly what we hoped for. I loved the borscht, beautifully presented and packed with authentic flavours. If you're looking for something different from the usual Lisbon dining scene, Burjinelli is a great choice. The food is lovely, well-prepared, and offers a genuine taste of Ukraine. Would definitely return.
