Is it possible that her English wasn't very good and misunderstood you by thinking you wanted an English food menu as is serving English food?

No, that is not possible.

There were language issues, not stupidity issues.

BTW, the picture of the pilaf dish looked great, also a hearty soup with chickpeas, meat and veg, plus a noodle dish which I am guessing is homemade pasta (!!!) mixed with a dry meaty stew. It's a small menu but it basically all looks good. One exception, they show a red soup which I assume is borscht, and that didn't look like particularly appealing borscht (I know borscht) but who knows, maybe it tastes great.

As if we don't have enough Russian influence around here as it is. It already feels like Moscow here. I'll pass on the Russian food.

I have a good Russian pal who comes to Pattaya from time to time. Even he wont eat Russian food.

I once tried to talk about it but he just looked at me, shaking his head.

So we always eat Thai food when we eat together.

It's NOT Russian food! Geez.

The thread title does say "Russian and Uzbek restaurant".

Personally I dont fancy either type, but I was just commenting about a personal experience relating to Russian food in general. It may or may not be applicable to this restaurant.
