Fodor's Review:

Usually filled with clued-in locals, Magical Taste—or, as it's more simply known, Pelmeni Bar—does one thing and does it better than anywhere else in the city: dumplings, whether they be Russian pelmeni, Ukrainian vareniki (usually sweet), Uzbekistani manti (meat dumplings, sometimes in broth), or Georgian khenkali (made with lamb). You can order sauces, such as the traditional smetana (sour cream), on the side. Prices are ridiculously low; the most expensive pelmeni, filled with salmon, costs less than $3. Do as the locals do and order a half-liter of vodka; the $4 chilled carafe of Gzhelka Kristal is a good choice. The place is no-frills but clean, and service is fast.
