I stopped by Paul's for a snack and I wasn't disappointed. They serve Russian-style dumplings in a small take out joint off State Street. Their menus is small (pretty much just a choice between meat or potato dumplings). I got a small plate of a mix of potato and beef, and I would say the beef dumplings were slightly better.
The dumplings themselves were a mix between Chinese style dumplings and Polish pierogis. If you're adventurous, be sure to order your dumplings with "the works" - it includes two kinds of curry, butter, cilantro and sour cream, all at no extra cost. The flavor was unusual though not unpleasant, imagine a mix between Mexican and Indian cuisine, with a good helping of Eastern European. I've never tried Russian food and the ethnic restaurants in Madison are notoriously average, so I was glad to eat something with a decent level of spiciness.
Of course, if you don't care for spice, I'd stay away from the curry dressings, but even by themselves Paul's dumplings are top notch.
