Ресторан «Арбат», Turkish restaurant on New Arbat Street, Moscow, Russia.
Arbat Restaurant is a Turkish restaurant on New Arbat Street in central Moscow, close to Smolenskaya metro station. It occupies two floors and serves grilled meats, traditional appetizer platters, and other dishes from Turkish cuisine.
The restaurant opened in 1967 on New Arbat Street and was one of the first places in Moscow to serve Turkish food. It came at a time when the city was beginning to welcome international cuisines into its dining scene.
The interior is decorated with Turkish ornaments and patterns that give the dining rooms a distinct visual character. In the evenings, musicians play traditional Turkish songs, adding a live element to the dinner experience.
The restaurant is right next to Smolenskaya metro station, so it is easy to reach on foot from the platform. It can seat more than 400 guests, so booking ahead is a good idea for larger groups.
The building itself has Soviet architectural features that stand in contrast to the Oriental design inside. This contrast is noticeable as soon as you step through the door.
