Come on over to Karloff, a restaurant with an innovative contemporary take on Eastern European flare. We bring new comfort-food dinning experience to the neighborhood with entrees like slowly braised Oxtail, Black Sea Mussels, Atlantic Trout over Kasha Risotto, and Vegan Meatballs - they all will leave you breathless, same as our famous Smoked Fish Sandwiches, Hearty Soups, Varenikis (Russian Dumplings), and Grass-Fed Burgers.

An extensive - and carefully selected - wine list features wines from all-over-the-world, including domestic areas. Craft and local beers on tap. If you are in a sober mood, enjoy our never-heard-of-before Russian juices and soft drinks, and #1 ice cream in Brooklyn (voted by the neighborhood). Be adventurous - come relax in our open, newly renovated space! Let us pamper you with our art of service. Bring your date or family to Karloff for lunch, dinner and brunch!

"We used to live in Carroll Gardens before Karloff opened and still love the neighborhood, so we come back often. We've passed Karloff and have wanted to try it, but never really had the chance. For Mother's Day, we were looking for something in that area and, since my mother's parents were German and Polish and she loves things like borscht and verenikis, we thought we'd give it a try. Maybe not the smartest idea going somewhere unfamiliar for Mother's Day, but we like to live dangerously. Happily, we had a great time and the food was beyond delicious and portion size was on target. Also, my wife (who's pregnant) asked if the cheese on a dish is pasteurized and, when the server checked, the chef came out to talk to her about it! Nice touch."

"Really nice place to go before movie at Cobble Hill Cinema. Super burger, perfectly cooked w interesting garnishes. Excellent, very different leek and kale soup. Overall, a very interesting variety of choices."

"Best burger I have had in a long time! The albarino (white wine) was also a winner. The keilbasa/potato croquettes were very good. The salad (poached pear and arugula) was another winner. Not an extensive menu, but well done all around. We didn't have room for dessert."
