I've already shared with you our experience eating khinkali at Academy of Khinkali in Kirov. While it was tasty, it was a bit pricey. But Khachapuri Madlian turned out to be a more affordable option.

This cafe closes relatively early, so make a note of it. In Kirov, a lot of places shut down by 21:00. They're open from 10:00 to 21:00. But we know of one cafe that stays open till 23:00 - it's the Kiteiskoe cafe "Zolotoi Bambuk", where you can try some delicious Chinese dishes.

My Take

Recommendation
I'd be more than happy to recommend this cafe to anyone.
If you're looking for a place to stay in Kirov, I'd suggest checking out the Art Hotel - it's cozy and won't break the bank.
If you're in the mood for some khinkali or varaniki with unique fillings, head on over to the Khlebnoe Ucho cafe. We went there a few times when we were in Kirov.
And if you're looking for a souvenir to bring back, I highly recommend those Kirov socks with the lovely chamomile design.
And that's a wrap on my review! I hope you all have a great appetite and a wonderful day. Thanks for reading!
