Skullcap Cafe in Sochi - an oasis of oriental cuisine

The Tyubeteika cafe belongs to the Delmar Family restaurant chain and is considered one of the best restaurants of oriental cuisine in Sochi. Out of six Delmar Family establishments (as of April 2018) I have visited «Skullcap» and another cafe by the sea, on Primorskaya street, which is called that - Cafe Del Mar. But he will be discussed in another article, and now I want to share my impressions of «Skullcaps». The cafe is located on Navaginskaya pedestrian street in a building with several more organizations. That is, you do not need to look for a separate restaurant with your eyes, as I did, - Skullcap modestly hid behind a striped extension with a small sign.

Skullcap Cafe

Upon closer acquaintance, you find out that the Skullcap cafe is 2 rooms separated by a passage. Not by a corridor, but by a passage from one part of the street to another, which naturally affected the specifics of the work of the institution: entrance to the toilets is possible only with a magnetic key card. You will be given it immediately after receiving the order, which you have to wait for a long time. Perhaps I was unlucky, and this is not typical for «Skullcaps», but I managed to blow out the entire glass of fruit drink before I waited for my khinkali. During this time, I managed to walk between the rooms, look at the children's play area and scare the local staff with my camera - they really don't like lenses.

Looking at the interior, I would say that this is an Uzbek restaurant. Characteristic colors and patterns, materials and decor details, dishes with traditional baklava, everything is so recognizable and obvious, but. But the menu has absorbed the best dishes of both Slavic cuisine, and Central Asian, and European, so I very conditionally called «Skullcap» an oasis of oriental cuisine. This is an oasis for a hungry person - for sure. And here you will find a dish to your taste, which is very cool for a large company, where everyone has their own preferences..

I have no complaints about the quality of cooking, only delight. It was cooked really tasty, albeit for a long time. The portions are large, heartily, and they served not just sour cream for the khinkali, but their own kind of author's sauce, ideally combined with beef. In general, despite its vegan past and not too reverent about meat in principle, Skullcap was able to pleasantly surprise me. The service is extremely correct, lightning fast and without unnecessary servility, which for some reason they try to instill in waiters in some expensive establishments. The place is valid and is definitely recommended to be visited at least once.
