I absolutely LOVE the Russian Banya! So far I've been several times and have attended the last two New Years bashes. I always have an incredible time when I'm there.
The food is always amazing and the presentation is impeccable. We had a variety of traditional Russian dishes, a beautiful salad, smoked meats and fishes, and basically every sort of pastry you could imagine. The facilities are pristine, and the staff is warm and helpful. You can really tell that they take pride in the services they provide and want to make their patrons happy and comfortable. I seriously cannot think of another place that I would rather unwind after a long work week.
However, my favorite thing about the Banya, and why I'll continue to go back, is that it offers something that is difficult to find in Dallas: a cultural experience that is completely authentic, but at the same time, open and inviting to people from any background.
If you're in the mood for an off-the-beaten-path, indulgent, relaxing experience, do yourself a favor and visit the Banya!
