It’s most certainly American and those red booths are the real thing - the only Russian elements here are the electric sockets. You'll hear more English spoken in this diner than anywhere else in Moscow, which adds to the otherworldly home-away-from-home experience. The menu spins out all the classics in authentic style, including huge waffles, burgers and giant milkshakes made with oreo cookies, massive breakfast and huge filter coffees from the pot. American diners are now de rigeur in Moscow but Starlite are still the original and best. They now have four 24 hour venues, with the original being the giant silver truck in a leafy garden near pr. Vernadskogo 6 (metro Universitet) and Korovy val 9a (metro Oktyabrskaya).
