I ate at Veselka with some friends on Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere is slightly nicer than a typical diner. Veselka is one of several Eastern European restaurants in the area, but it's known as one of the best. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll see a glass counter full of desserts. They make the desserts on-site. The portions here are big, so you'll need to save room. The focus is on Ukranian food. The menu has a broad selection of choices. There are breakfast options and hamburgers that are familiar to Americans. For more authentic food, the choices range from pierogi and potato pancakes to blintzes and borscht. I ordered the meat combination, which came with a couple of different types of pierogis (meat and potato), stuffed cabbage (which had excellent flavor), a choice of soup, and salad. All of that was priced around $10-11. A friend ordered a cheeseburger with sweet-potato fries. The service was excellent, despite the crowd, and there was no pressure to turn the table over. I would recommend Veselka for a different dining experience.
