The Propelmeni food kiosk specialises in homemade Russian pelmeni (Russian dumplings) and khinkali (Georgian dumplings) with a variety of fillings, including meat, fish, vegetables and cheese. This is among the best places in the city to try homemade dumplings. You’ll have to be patient, though, the queue is quite long.
