A Delight with Minor Weaknesses
Our order that day was
- Boiled manti (wholemeal) with minced meat, yogurt, butter and paprika sauce (12.90 €)
- Fried pelmeni with minced meat, yogurt, butter and paprika sauce (13.90 €)
- Turkish tea (2.20 €)
- Water (2.80 €)
Everything came after a wait of about 15-20 minutes. However, the waiting time is already predicted on the menu. While the manti scored with their soft consistency, they could have been more intense in taste. The pelmeni, on the other hand, were convincing all around – crispy on the outside and top-tasting. A special highlight was the yogurt and paprika sauce, which gave the dishes that certain something. With the drinks, we were served a small portion of pickles – a tasty addition to the main dishes.
Our Opinion
Despite minor criticisms, such as the not very enthusiastic service, “Mr. Dumpling Manti” offers a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. The prices may seem a bit high for some, but the quality and portion sizes justify them. All in all, worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for something new and appreciate the different food styles.
