TL;DR
Best pelmeni (dumplings) are at Roll and Boil on Dubai Marina, with delivery available; Bakerist cafe also serves them. For a proper restaurant vibe, try Shvili or Duo Gastropub.
Roll and Boil (known as 'Lepim i Varim') in Dubai Marina — tasty pelmeni (dumplings), delivery available, also serves posikunchiki and chebureki. More of a casual spot than a fine-dining restaurant.
Roll and Boil locations in DMBR (Downtown/Business Bay) and Bluewaters recently closed — now only the Marina branch and delivery remain.
Shvili and Duo Gastropub — solid restaurants with good food and atmosphere, though it's unclear if they serve Russian-style dumplings specifically.
Bakerist cafe also has pelmeni on the menu, but it's more of a coffee shop/cafe than a full restaurant.
