About Matryoshka

Matryoshka, a hidden gem tucked away in a Turkish bath house, offers authentic Russian cuisine in a unique spa-like environment. Friendly staff provide great recommendations, and the homemade-tasting dishes, such as hot borscht soup, potato pancakes, and Moscow-style Pelmeni, are sure to delight. The traditional decor transports diners to old Russia, making it a standout in the financial district. Recent visitors praised the delicious food, especially the borscht and lamb kebabs, calling them outstanding and the best Russian food in the city. Some experienced long waits for dishes like borscht, which took nearly an hour to prepare, and noted that the restaurant can be a bit dirty and stuffy at times. Despite this, customers enjoyed items like Oliver salad, salmon soup, chicken patties with buckwheat, black bread, and cherry compote, and appreciated the friendly service. The food here strikes the perfect balance, with excellent mouthfeel and inventive preparation. The people working here are quick and careful. The dining room is in a bathhouse, so atmosphere is what you expect. It is a little hard to find, but worth the required concentration and Google Maps assistance. The Eastern European food is excellent. Dumplings and soup are recommended. Prices are a little high, but lower at lunch. Service is fast, knowledgeable and friendly. Matryoshka remains a popular spot for authentic Russian cuisine in a unique setting.
