I’m convinced that the low average rating is only because of “blind Russian-hate” after the war started. Because this restaurant is amazing, incl food quality and service. Also super cozy/unique interior design, relatively authentic dishes and friendly staff. Def recommend Hering with young potatoes and Holodets (холодец)!

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.

This restaurant screams Slavic vibes… I was extremely surprised I really enjoyed it and the food was very very good. The food had a traditional home-cooked taste, the interior, especially the dining area was very traditional in setup and appearance which was a lovely change from many of the restaurants in London. I would definitely recommend visit here, mainly to experience something different outside the “normal” London dining experience.

Mari Vanna's the place for Russian cuisine, Authentic and delicious, a dining dream, The decor transports you to another land, A Russian experience, everything but bland. The Khachapuri is a must-try, Georgian dish, And this place version is everything you can forever wish, The cheese-filled bread, is a tasty sensation, A dish to enjoy, without hesitation. The service is helpful, when you are exploring the menu, most of them speak Russian which matches the venue, Mari Vanna is a gem, a dining delight, An experience to remember at every bite.

My visits to this restaurant left me with a sense of culinary satisfaction and a desire to return. The exceptional food, friendly staff, and delightful atmosphere all combined to create an experience that transcended a mere meal. Though it may be a tad overpriced, the overall package is undeniably remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to those seeking an elevated dining experience that delights the senses and nourishes the soul.
