 The name is African, the art inside Russian and the cuisine all over the map in terms of flavors, but there are touches of Asian and Italian cuisine in this familiar New England fare. Start with a hearty dish of poutine with hand-cut fries smothered in foie gras gravy with crispy duck confit and a tangy Tallegio. Move on to the half chicken with roasted breast, garlic thyme sausage and a tender confit leg or lamb top round with rich colcannon potatoes and an apple and chestnut sauce. Butter-poached lobster resting atop roasted watermelon with a peppery local arugula salad and tart mojito foam is a good dish to share between courses. Many locals like to sit at the bar in front of the kitchen to watch the action, and with an in-house pastry chef---rare in Portsmouth restaurants---sweets are a must, especially the whimsical butterscotch crème brûlée with warm oatmeal cookies and a miniature glass of milk.
