Kolobok — Restaurant in Mexico City

This quite convenient and well located Russian restaurant is placed at 300 metres from Division del Norte Underground and 120 metres from Division del Norte Metro Bus station.

My wife and I visited this place after doing some paperwork, we arrived pretty easily, the venue is small but cosy and comfortable, the staff is friendly and welcoming, we got a table with a couch and there were few people.

The restaurant have a wide variety of Russian courses but also they offer a sampler of their most emblematic meals, which was the one we ordered, this special option costs $399 and includes: a starter, a soup or salad, a main course with a side of your preference, a desert and something to drink.

In my case I ordered a Red Caviar Canape as starter but I did not like it too much due to its quite strong fish taste, it is just my preference, the starter was in good state and fresh.

For the second course I ordered Uja Imperial Soup which was composed of Salmon, Tilapia, potato, onion, carrot and tomatoes. For this one I must say it was ok, neither bad or astonishing, just ok.

For the third course, which was the main dish, I had a Befstroganov (beef with demiglase sauce) sided with Grechka (buckwheat) I must say that all was delicious but the Grechka was indeed the best.

For the desert I ate Syrnik, which is some kind of soft biscuit made with curd cheese, which by the way, was delicious.

To complement our menu we ordered the Kompot which is a cold fruit punch which was too sweet for my taste, but surely Russians like it as it.

Also there are flat screens on the place which are presenting YouTube videos about Russia, nice...

place has the appropriate ambiance you'd expect from a Russian joint complete with russo-pop and their peculiar music videos playing on the screens

food is averagely priced and the dishes are sufficiently portioned

i will say that having no real background on Russian flavors I expected a more flavorful or distinctly spiced profile on the stroganov

the solyanka soup was the highlight of the meal and the dish I would insist on you not missing if you decided de yo visit this pleasant restaurant

don't forget to have a couple ounces of their vodka selection to finish...

Everything is great, I visit it very often. Service is always fast and efficient, I recommend you to try Shuba or Mimosa salads with herring, as well as Pelmeni as main dish. From the desserts both Medovik (honey cake) and Syrniki are good. You can also buy the whole honey cake (0.5 and 1kg). They’re still checking temperature at the entrance and waiters are wearing masks. There’s parking service outside, and they also sell...
