Berlin’s pelmeni options range from hand-shaped turkey and salmon to chicken with herbs and beef served with sour cream or adjika. This list also includes a Russian House café and one unexpected lakeside option. Each venue has menu evidence for pelmeni and a recorded overall Google rating of at least 4.5 from 100 reviews.
Each rating is for the restaurant overall, not a dish score. Open a place entry for its address, menu evidence, and sources.
A small restaurant inside the Russian House, with a dedicated Pelmeni & Vareniki section on its menu overview. Check the current filling selection and payment options before going.
A Russian-Jewish menu lists Pelmeni Siberien with beef. This is a useful pick for a sit-down meal where the dumplings sit alongside a much wider Eastern European menu.
An unexpected option: a German lakeside restaurant whose current menu listing includes pelmeni. The small number of dish mentions makes it an intriguing extra, not a proven specialist.
A broader Russian restaurant menu lists hand-shaped turkey and salmon pelmeni. The salmon version gives this entry a less typical filling to look for.
A Russian restaurant with a current menu listing a 15-piece portion of homemade pelmeni and a choice of fillings. Check the current menu for available varieties.
A Russian-Uzbek menu in Friedrichshain that includes pelmeni with other comfort-food staples. A good fit if your table wants dumplings alongside blini or plov.
A specialist-style option: the ordering menu describes homemade pelmeni with a meat filling, egg, and onion. It does not specify the meat more narrowly.
A Russian restaurant in Schöneberg that lists pelmeni on its menu, useful if you want to pair dumplings with a larger Russian meal.
A Ukrainian menu with a specifically listed chicken-and-herb filling for €12. The surfaced reviews are positive about the broader restaurant but do not rate the pelmeni separately.
A Mitte café menu lists pelmeni served with salad and sour cream, a more casual format than a dedicated dumpling restaurant.
For less common fillings, Samowar lists turkey and salmon. Fayna lists chicken with herbs, while Pasternak and Pelmennaia each describe beef or meat-filled versions with different accompaniments. Confirm current prices and availability before setting out. Sources: Samowar menu.
Most Google stars here describe the whole restaurant. We found specific pelmeni comments for only a subset of venues, and they do not all agree. The customer notes beside each place link to their source and describe the limits of that evidence. Sources: Example of a dish-specific customer review.
