THE IRISH TIMES
27th May, 2000

'"...On the menu of more than 40different dishes are familiar Russian and Ukrainian dishes such as Borshch, Chiken Kiev and Beef Stroganoff. These, as with almost everything else on the menu are served in quite hearty portions. A visit to Tzar Ivan is not for those who peck at portion suitable for a sparrow. If necessary, fast in advance in order to build up an appetite.
...Both the food and atmosphere make for a genuine Russian night out."
