The Bottom Line

Pushkin is a Russian restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers with both dine-in and delivery. You can order familiar dishes such as beef stroganoff, borsch, pelmeni and lunch boxes, or come for breakfast; one visitor specifically enjoyed the draniki and pancakes and received a complimentary slice of Medovik. The setting was described as cozy and reminiscent of home.

The experience is uneven. Some customers praise homemade flavours, fast delivery, careful packaging, generous portions and good-value lunch boxes. A beef stroganoff lunch box was called delicious, while another long-term delivery customer said the food remained good and fresh across more than 60 orders.

There is also an example of the restaurant replacing a short delivery for free within minutes. However, the recent negative feedback is serious rather than merely about taste. Customers describe expired Olivier salad, stale or overly salty food, incorrect substitutions and delayed or cancelled deliveries.

One review reports finding a sharp object in spaghetti, and another describes a fried cockroach in a lunch box. Delivery-machine problems have also affected some buildings. If you order, check the items and dates on arrival, confirm building delivery beforehand and consider starting with breakfast or a familiar dish rather than placing a large order.
