The Kurze

Our first dinner in Estonia and it has definitely set the standard high. The waitress was very welcoming and explained the menu to us. We started with a comforting tea and followed with soups and mixed dumplings. The food was amazing and we felt full without feeling heavy. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be coming back soon.

Came for their signature kurze (dumplings) and was not disappointed! They have 5 different flavours: beef, lamb, cheese, potato & pumpkin. Highly recommend the beef, pumpkin is a unique choice but it’s more interesting than the potato one. Tried the lamb tartare and beef cheek dishes and we were impressed.

The menu is featured on the wall and no paper menu will be offered but the waitress is friendly, polite & fluent in English and does a thorough description for the customers, even giving recommendations.

This place is incredible! Food is evidently cooked with love and detail! I’d love to come back again one day! Service was good too

If I can give their service and food 6/5 I would. Nice find of discovering such culture through its food. The waiters were super amicable and the food out of this world.

The Kurze(s) which are their signature dish are really the star, such nice flavours and play of spices. We ordered vegetarian mix with cheese, pumpkin and potatoes. Overall the pumpkins ones were marvelous!

Make sure you do reservations as the place seems to be always full!

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Particular highlights were the selection of filled dumplings (the pumpkin one was amazing) and the beef cheek in a Spiced broth. Service was really friendly and warm.

We came here during a weekend in Talinn and the food was amazing. Highly recommend coming here if you want great food in a special atmosphere. We tried two starters, the mix of dumplings and the kachipuri and all of those were just delicious. The setup is also great, the waiters discuss the menu with you, five recommendations and make sure you leave satisfied and with a fully belly. Staff was super friendly and if I’m in Talinn again I’ll surely come back.

We were visiting Tallinn from Canada and came across this place. Everything was delicious, healthy portions, presented well and priced reasonably. The service was excellent and the setting perfect. Loved it so much, we went back a second time before going home.

Little restaurant very cute, good product, we tested the specialities (soup, dumpling and khachapuri ) and we really enjoyed everything. The waiters are really kind and they explained us all the dishes.
They even gift us a Prosecco glass !

If you happen to visit Tallinn, one of the places I recommend for sure is a Dagestan cuisine The Kurze. Food made with love and heart. Very nice, super friendly service, you'll be introduced to the menu and most likely greeted by the owner herself too. Great for lunch and dinner. Conveniently located by the tram stop and has a small car park on the location, as well as can be easily reached by foot from Tallinn Railway station (Balti Jaam). 10/10
The place offers delivery of both frozen to cook at home and hot food.

My new favorite restaurant in Tallinn, no doubt. This was our first time having kurze anywhere and I think they're my favorite kind of dumpling now. The lamb was the best, but make sure to try them all to determine your favorite! The Kurze serves other great dishes too, such as the tartare (pictured).

Our dog was welcome too.

We also ordered via Wolt on another day, and the kurze were just as great. They travel well!

I came for dinner after seeing good things online. The waitress was absolutely lovely, very helpful and explained the menu for me. The food was delicious, this is a must visit restaurant!

Perfect place in Tallinn to taste many delicious things! The menu featured an exquisite selection of kurze and dumplings, showcasing the culinary mastery of the chefs. The star of the meal was undoubtedly the incredibly delicious lamb dish – perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared. The ambiance was inviting, and the attentive staff added to the overall delightful dining experience.Homemade cherry lemonada is another level😋

I stumbled upon this please totally by accident, and boy was that a lucky one. Had the mix of wege dumplings and homemade cherry pie - and it was lovely and delicious. Very nice people working there and so happy I could enter with my dog. 5/5 totally recommend

This place was extremely special - it wasn't just going to a restaurant but having an experience. The food was incredible and the staff makes you feel at home. I will come back here everytime I return to Tallinn.

Our plates are empty because it was incredibly tasty!
Unique place in Tallinn with Dagestan food.
Perfect food and service
Absolutely recommend!

Didn't expect the food to be as good as it was, it was so good! Highly recommend the dumplings, staff were really friendly as well

I was taking the 1 streetcar line to my destination when I noticed a highly rated restaurant at my stop. I was hungry so I decided to make a pit stop. Best decision I made today. The restaurant is small inside and was busy but the owner, chef, and maître d,Nuriyan, found me a table then proceeded to explain the menu on the chalkboard to me. She suggested the mixed platter of dumplings.The mixed platter was made up of individual dumplings consisting of beef, lamb, chicken, cheese, and pumpkin. All were different organic colors that made a delightful display to these delicious dumplings. (How’s that for an alliteration?) The dumplings came with two sauces, a tomato garlic, and a chickpea sour cream. It made them even more tasty. After that, I had the cheese on the naan like bread. It reminded of a delicious well seasoned quesadilla.
You may find it hard to locate because there is no real signage, but look in the opening for a very large yard with wooden picnic tables then look to the right for the small white building. I posted pictures of it.
Her recipes come from Dagestan, and it was a pleasure to experience the love she puts into her food. Go for the fantastic food and make a new friend.

Been here twice now and I have loved it both times. The food is amazing, and the place has a very cozy and homey vibe.
Last time I came with my husband for our anniversary and he absolutely loved the food. We will be back.

We went to Kurze countless times and it’s definitely one of my most visited and most favourite places in Tallinn! I am in love with their lamb tartar and beef kurzes!

What a gem! Visited on a cold winter day and fell in love with the warm atmosphere, sweet service, amazing kurze and hinkali dumplings as well as hachapuri bread, and Chris Rea vinyl playing in the background. The place is small and fills up quickly, so would book a table ahead.
