From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2010

Trying its best to recreate Russia with snowy murals, traditional dancing, music and costume and the A/C turned up so high you can see your own breath, you can’t fault Troyka for effort. The staff are Russian (although this can make ordering tricky for English speakers), and the food is authentic, hearty and full of oil and butter. We recommend the vareniki starter (boiled pastry stuffed with cottage cheese and served with sour cream), as well as the chicken Kiev and beef stroganoff. It’s best to head to Troyka late in the evening, as the band doesn’t even come on until 10.30pm, and the entertainment of dancing and singing presumably only appears if there are more than two tables full in the restaurant. Hence, it’s best to call ahead to check if it’s going to be a lively night. Otherwise, despite the good food, it’s a pretty empty and cold experience.

Went with a large group, entertainment was great but started very late. Food was terrible, service was ok and turned out to be very expensive as they also did not accept out city card.

Great atmosphere but as with the other reviews nothing gets going until 1130pm. Food was very average, and I had a bad stomach the next day. We went on a Thursday night, the restaurant was not full but they had a buffet and therefore would not accept the Time Out City Card on the basis that a buffet is a promotion. This seemed totally unfair and this is the first restaurant /bar that I have come across in Dubai which advertises that it is part of the Time Out City Card scheme but would not accept it, even on the drinks. Management claimed that they had nothing to do with the City Card and had never heard of it when it's clear from here that we should have got 20% off food and drinks. Although the entertainment was good, we wouldn't go back because it turned into a very expensive evening!
