Lonely Planet review for Pravda

There is nothing new about a retro Soviet-themed restaurant, but somehow it never grows tired: the propaganda posters, the portraits of Lenin, the Internationale. This so-called ‘art café’ actually promises ‘communist lunches’, which is rarely the object of such nostalgia. But the place is fun, as is the menu of old-fashioned Soviet favourites (and its prices really do hark back to the Soviet period!).

    Pravda no longer, Turkish instead!

    danskhugie recommends this,

    This Communist-style restaurant doesn't exist at the specified address and we couldn't find it anywhere else on the street. Instead there is a Turkish restaurant.

    We (four young guys, Austrians and Australians) were disappointed to miss out on our own Soviet experience but the Turkish place was good none the less. Mains were a bit under 300 rubles each and really tasty! Traditional Turkish stuff, well worth it.

    Only downside is the waitress/restaurant manager who served us spoke almost zero words of English, which made ordering a little difficult.
