As I entered this establishment, I expected strength, discipline, and at the very least, real potatoes. Instead, I was met with instant mashed potatoes--soft, weak, entirely without character. This is not the cuisine of a proud people; this is the cuisine of surrender. The beet salad with vinaigrette, which should have been chilled like the Siberian winter, arrived warm--lukewarm, indecisive, unsure of its place in the world. Unacceptable. The dishes looked impressive, yes--like a military parade photographed from far away--but when it came to flavor, they had less impact than sanctions from Luxembourg. No power. No strategy. No soul. As I sat waiting for the staff, they took their own dinner break, demonstrating the type of "strategic pause" I do not endorse. I was ignored with the precision of a carefully designed protocol. The borscht, the pride of Slavic cuisine, arrived without vinegar, without sugar--without identity. A borscht without conviction. A red soup without purpose. The vereniki were filled with instant potatoes--again!--and the sour cream was rationed like a state secret, one micro dollop adrift in a silver gravy boat. For 24 years they claim to be the best Russian food in CDMX. Maybe because it was at times the only Russian food? I assure you, comrades, this is misinformation of the highest order. No true Russian would recognize this food, except perhaps as a warning. The staff was polite--good. But even a pleasant smile cannot cover the fact that a school cafeteria steam table could outmatch this place in both flavor and spirit. If you desire these so-called "culinary delights," then by all means, march forward. But for the rest of you: save your rubles. Nyet. read more

Kolobok - Yum. - Russian Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

Very tasty for Russian food (which isn't exactly super amazing in the first place). The pilmeni were authentic but slightly bland, the borscht was tasty, and the table bread really really delicious. Good Russian beers too. read more

One of the very few places where I have really enjoyed a meal. The service was very fast and attentive and the server had an amazing smile while doing her job. The food was spectacular and the empanadas were a treat. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

My wife is Eastern European - half Russian. According to her, this is the closest you can get to Russian food in Mexico. We like the Kiev Chicken and the Borsch. My wife says their honey cake is the best she has tried outside of Europe. Given their popularity Kolovok should expand as currently you have to wait more than half an hour to get a table on a Saturday lunch-time. A must try in DF. read more
