Smilga is a low-key but authentic and amazing Lithuanian restaurant, shop, and bakery. It is described as the best Lithuanian restaurant ever, with incredible, delicious, and super tasty food. Standout dishes include the amazing mushroom soup, chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce, chicken kiev, and beef stew. The mashed potatoes are noted as some of the best. Portions are massive, generous, very filling, and the sweets are very good. They also offer Dadu ice cream. The service is fabulous, amazing, friendly, kind, and helpful, with staff going above and beyond. The hospitality is phenomenal. The atmosphere is perfect for young kids, as it is accommodating to children with toys set out for them. The business also includes a mini grocery store and deli on site, featuring many homemade, fresh, and homemade products. Some recommendations from reviewers include improving online presence and social media, adding more photos of the dishes to the menu or via a QR code, and considering extended weekday hours. A minor note mentioned a wish for working AC. The overall experience is highly recommended, with an emphasis that the exceptional food and people matter most.

The food is authentic and amazing. The service is fabulous and the atmosphere is perfect for young kids! They even have toys set out of them. For the first time the kids were crying because they didn't want to leave! That alone says it all.

The mushroom soup is AMAZING. We also ordered the chicken kiev and beef stew and both were super tasty. Finished off with my favorite Dadu ice cream. Highly recommend this place!!
