As a Russian foodie I can’t stop recommending this place to my friends who want to have a great lunch or get introduced to Russian cuisine. My personal fav is a honey cake. Save some room for dessert - you won’t regret it!

I’ve been to many places that failed terribly after the pandemic. This place, has been consistent before and after, delivering great food and great service. Borscht is my favorite and can’t get enough every time I stop by!!

Really delicious dumplings in a charming place on Belden Place. Counter service and both indoor/outdoor tables. Friendly staff with food prepared quickly. Good for a workday lunch. They are able to mix different varieties of dumplings so you can try more flavors. Try the homemade cherry flavored drink - delicious and unique flavor without being overly sweet. I wish I'd tried this place earlier. I will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Vegetarian options: cabbage and potato dumplings!

About Us
Growing up with delicious meals cooked daily by our mothers and grandmas inspired the menu of LELEKA. Due to the limited space in our original location in San Francisco’s International Food Court, we first focused on serving pelmeni as our specialty. “Pelmeni” and “Vareniki” is a traditional comfort food in all countries represented by the former Soviet Union. It is a staple food in any household, where the whole family gathers around the kitchen table to make a big batch of these little dumplings. They are then boiled and served with a big scoop of sour cream.
The First Venture
Since we opened our original location in March 2017, we have developed various recipes to introduce even more unique flavors wrapped in the traditional pelmeni skins. We have since added another all time favorite comfort/street food - Piroshki. Our piroshki are made just like our grandmothers used to make - fluffy buns very generously filled with meat/chicken/veg filling.
A New Challenge
Looking at never ending lines of our loyal customers during lunch hours, we decided to expand to another location on the alley next door. In the new location, we can now serve your favorite food in a more comfortable indoor and outdoor setting. You can now pair your favorite dumplings with a glass of beer or wine! For those of you, who are looking to simply enjoy our pelmeni at home and share them with your friends and loved ones, we have a frozen dumplings delivery service in the Bay Area. Stocking up on your favorite meals has never been easier!
