Here you can try traditional Russian-Asian dishes like Cheburek*, a spicy Central Asia noodle soup called Lagman, and another soup containing meat, rice and vegetables called Kharcho. Also they have famous Russian red beet soup with meet called borsch( or borscht) . But I think it is better to try it at the Ёлки палки( Yolky Palki).

* One of the national dishes of the Crimean Tatars, is called "Çibörek" and is made from unleavened dough filled with ground lamb, onions and spices, fried in oil. It is a common street food in Tatarstan and other former ex-USSR countries. "Cheburek" is the Russian pronunciation of the Crimean Tatar "Çibörek", which means "delicious burek" or "raw börek" depending on the dialect.
