Lena ShanginaMarch 25, 2016One of the rare places in NY that serves Beluga vodka. Combine it with pelmeni (Russian dumplings) and life is wonderful!
WendySeptember 4, 2016We loved the dumplings, zucchini pancakes, marinated mushrooms, and the smoked salmon and caviar with crepes were outstanding. Great cocktails too!
The Corcoran GroupApril 3, 2012Make a reservation, and enjoy the Russian Table for two! The food is off the charts – order the Pelmeni, the Beef Stroganoff and Rabbit Stew. We’re coming for brunch soon!
Alex ZhdanovNovember 15, 2014Hi guys :) Travel back to old Russia with Mari Vanna's elegant décor, traditional Russian food, and smiling staff. Try their infused vodka and herring with scallions. The combination is divine.
Ben MackeySeptember 25, 2018This place is amazingly authentic. Everything from the pelmeni, the herring under a fur coat, the crochet doilies and the glasses that are perfect for both water and vodka.- Maria RiabtchenkoJanuary 30, 2018Amazing Russian Food with plenty of fun entertainment. Order blini with salmon and red caviar, Siberian pelmeni, kotletki, you really can’t go wrong with anything. Tell them it’s your birthday ;)
Paige CJune 22, 2018A beautiful restaurant with a very fun, eclectic vibe. Be sure to order the vodka flights, the Pierogi, and the Chicken Kiev.
Marie La RueFebruary 18, 2023Excellent festive destination for groups. Selection of traditional Russian dishes and infused vodka. Doll house decor. Beef kebab is delicious.
Jesse LaneMay 12, 2017I'm not super familiar with Russian food, so cannot speak to the authenticity, but everything we ordered was delicious. Cured herring & pirozhok were great, but the horseradish vodka was the standout!
Andrei KryssovSeptember 3, 2017As a Russian who grew up on Russian food, Mari Vanna is the only Russian restaurant that comes slightly close to what my mother cooks. Highly recommended.
Amanda RellaSeptember 27, 2017According to my Russian friend, it felt like we were inside her grandma's home. Decor is really cool, and wait staff friendly. Very high quality and delicious food. The pelmeni are a must-order.
ZenFoodsterFebruary 24, 2018Must-go ~$35 Sun brunch w/ bottomless mimosas + AYCE buffet of Borscht, Blinis, Pelmenis & more (2-hr limit)! Mon-Fri $24 3-course PF Lunch is also a deal.
The beef stroganoff, traditional chicken Kiev, and the potato vareniki are a must!
Ryan FischerApril 15, 2017Had a martini and some sort of Russian pierogi. Then ate stuffed cabbage for dinner. All the food was excellent. Great spot, with a unique vibe.
C RJanuary 3, 2016Come here for the ambiance, the food less so. It's a really fun ambiance (live music), with kitschy decor. Potato salad and herring are misses; the borscht, tasty.
Stan BorbatJune 29, 2018Try all of the appetizers, everything is very delicious and authentic. End your dinner with tea and desert.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019This is a super fun Russian spot. The decor is beautiful, they have house infused vodkas and an affordable Sunday brunch.
Rachel RApril 26, 2015The most adorable Russian restaurant ever - Russian newspapers as wallpaper, flower pots at the entrance, and wood backed dining room chairs. Feels like a life-sized dollhouse. Try the borscht!
Masha MatakovaFebruary 4, 2015The food is great, especially borsh is just fantastic, music is loud, so it s good for big companies. The stuff sings birthdays songs like for their own friends :)
Olga EpsAugust 27, 2014I like the russian transplant - almost as good as the moscow (semi) original. Liked the pelmeni, the caviar, as well as the cocktails. Seems to be a bit of a pickup place, but did not really test it
JohannaOctober 13, 2015If you split the caviar and salmon blinis, pelmeni, and borscht between 2 people, you'll be golden.
Waleed 🇸🇦March 15, 2017We had afternoon tea with desserts. The design of the restaurant is wonderful. We had Medovik (honey cake) and Napoleon, I recommend them.
Anna .December 14, 2012Great place to go to for some delicious Russian food and fun atmosphere! Fried potatoes with mushrooms tasted just like my Mum's! Need to plan my next visit there again soon.
BollareNovember 28, 2012Girly ambience with floral china, lace tablecloths, and even a pedestal for your purse! Great cocktails pureed with fresh fruit (literally watermelon chunks floating in a melon martini!).
Kevin KeatingOctober 5, 2014Great Olivier, pelmeni, blini, etc. Get the Strawberry Smetannik and Grand Tea Pot for dessert. Also: cucumber & dill infused vodka.
Louis VuittonMay 2, 2012Travel back to old Russia with Mari Vanna's elegant décor, traditional Russian food, and smiling staff. Try their infused vodka and herring with scallions. The combination is divine.
EMarch 18, 2015Very cute kitschy decor, delicious housemade vodkas (try cucumber martini). Cured herring & veal pelmeni were great!
Angela DawnJanuary 31, 2016Amazing Russian food buffet for brunch. Cocktails are $17 but if you like mimosas you're good because they are unlimited.
Kay TeoSeptember 4, 2017Thoughtful touches throughout - the interior, the dishware, the food. Phenomenal borscht. Cute restaurant.
PierreFebruary 12, 2017Great vibe, live music and people watching. If you're hungry, have a dumpling snack. But have dinner elsewhere
Zarina NMarch 25, 2013Don't go if you are Russian :) Do have their vareniki, very tasty. For brunch come starved as it's buffet - very filling, many options, great blini!
Rewan PartiOctober 11, 2015Infused home vodka, shuba and caviar. They play live music in the evening and the atmosphere is amazing!- BollareSeptember 30, 2011Girly ambience with floral china, lace tablecloths, and even a pedestal for your purse! Great cocktails pureed with fresh fruit (literally watermelon chunks floating in a melon martini!). —Meg
N AvedisSeptember 2, 2018Slightly overpriced, but pirozhki are amazing. Love the interior of the place.
Sonya RytovaSeptember 25, 2014The best Russian place in New York!!) AN AWESOME ATMOSPHERE! DELICIOUS FOOD!!!! Beautiful team:)- Kay TeoSeptember 4, 2017The flavored vodkas are great. Not too sweet, smooth, unique flavor combinations like seaberry and honey and pepper.
BoozeMenusJanuary 12, 2012The cutesy décor sets an inviting mood for intimacy and the list of house-infused vodkas and specialty martinis will wow anyone - we recommend a carafe of the horseradish vodka. Read more- The best Russian food in the city for a while now. Try pelmeni, mushroom soup, Salo plate
Alexandra MaJune 18, 2015Adorable homey decor. Good wine. Be sure to get the smoked fish and chicken kotletki - amazing.
Alexander GolubevMarch 22, 2013Being Russian myself, I discovered this traditional wonderful desert "smetannik" at Mari Vanna. The service was surprisingly friendly and correctly relaxed.
Jen GranitoAugust 16, 2017Do not miss the pelmeni / dumplings and pirozhki. Also had the horseradish vodka and it was quite tasty.
Nathalia Salgado PinedaAugust 12, 2015The place is amazing and the food delicious you have to try the potato balls
- David XuOctober 23, 2017make sure you put salt on the bread! and the napoleon cake is incredible here
Loved this one just as much as the one in Moscow. Delicious food, definitely come here if you have time to spare, service can be slow.
Ruta ZiukaiteMarch 11, 2013The food is just so delicious and the service is exceptional. We had to wait a little extra for our food, but the waiter showered us with free drinks, even vodka shots, to apologize for the delay!
