About XIX Nineteen
XIX Nineteen is an independent Ukrainian restaurant and cafe at 403 High St in Stratford, London, open daily from morning until late. The Ukrainian owners built the menu around Ukrainian dishes such as borscht and varenyky, with sushi on the list as well. Many dishes are made to order, so some take time to arrive. The drinks list includes Ukrainian beer, wine and liqueurs, and shisha is available for late-night guests who want to stay on after dinner. A large space holds groups of 12 to 15 or more, which suits parties and events. Catering is also offered, and it has been used for a wedding.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come for authentic Ukrainian cooking, with the borscht and varenyky described as tasting homemade and the dumplings and pancakes singled out by another diner. The solyanka stands out for one reviewer, and portions run generous enough that one diner could not finish a main after an enormous starter and advises arriving hungry. Close behind are the Ukrainian beer, the wine and the shisha, while the wide menu also takes in sushi, burgers, pizza and wings. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and the room is described as warm, cozy and welcoming. Large groups get a good report, including a party of 18 served promptly despite arriving late and a wedding catering order. The main caveat is pace: one reviewer notes much is made to order, so some dishes take time to arrive. One birthday booking was forgotten because another event was running, but the manager and team sorted it out with appetizers, liqueurs, music and a discount on the order.

“I made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday party well in advance. I showed up, and there was an event going on. I had a reservation, but they forgot about me. The manager had two options: a discount, or to try to come up with something at their old office. The manager and his team worked everything out, and it ended up being better than expected. We had a waiter call button, they played music, made appetizers, gave us liqueurs, and a discount on our order as compensation. My boyfriend really liked it, it was delicious and truly our cuisine. Thank you very much.”

“We recently hosted a party of 18 at this restaurant, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Despite our group arriving later than planned, the staff were incredibly patient, accommodating, and attentive. They ensured everything ran smoothly. The service was outstanding—our group received plenty of attention, and every detail we had planned was executed perfectly. The team helped getting everything sorted without any stress on our side. And the food—absolutely amazing. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and served promptly, even with such a large group. Highly recommended for both small dinners and large celebrations alike!”
