Tabani is a cozy bar and bistro with an Eastern European twist. The namesake tabani—a pliable, blini-adjacent pancake—comes in five varieties, including a popular smoked salmon one. The menu pulls from across the region: borscht with proper bread, goulash, beef-stuffed peppers, and Georgian badrijani (eggplant rolls with walnut paste). Drinks lean classic and spirit-forward, with a few playful touches like a pickle-vodka martini and a truffle martini served with caviar. Zero-proof cocktails and a natural-leaning wine list round it out. Warm, leafy interiors and a rare worthwhile patio make it a solid date spot, especially on live music nights. Located in Yongping Lane off Hengshan Lu.
