Within walking distance from Harrods, this cosy Russian restaurant is very popular among locals.
Russian borscht, dumplings, Kiev chicken are all delightful. Layered cake should always be the dessert of the night for the food lovers.
I will return.
Visited Mari Vanna for a friend's birthday and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was delightful, and the service was top-notch. A special shout-out to the singer who serenaded us with lovely tunes and even sang a birthday song for my friend. The food was equally impressive, capturing the essence of Russian cuisine. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience in London.

Such a great experience, and don't be fooled by the low rating.
I highly recommend this place if you want to get immersed in the Russian culture and cuisine.
Pro:
. Attention to detail on every dish and display of each centimeter in the restaurant. I was amazed by the decorations, tables, chandeliers, even in the toilet you feel the kind of vintage style.
. High quality food with little waiting time.
. There was live music playing after 7pm. Maybe it happens only on Friday but that made the atmosphere even cozier.
. Good place for insta pictures too
. Even though the place is small, it doesn't feel overcrowded as there is enough space between tables.
Cons:
. It can be a bit pricey. Consider you are in Knightsbridge area.
. Booking is the main way to get a table for dinner as the place isn't big and gets busy.
. Not a problem for me, but consider you might have only 2 hours time for your table.
Overall, if you want to get immersed in another dimension, culturally and culinary speaking, this is the place.
