We decided to have a family meal before leaving, and we chose this basement based on excellent reviews. I share my own impressions. We were hoping to visit a cozy Georgian cafe with delicious national food. But, our expectations were dashed… First of all, this basement is difficult to find even with a navigator. Next, at the entrance from the street in front of the door, you will find a persistent smell of cat food. The interior is decorated in the style of a grandfather and a woman who once lived here (and it looks like more than one generation), there is fungus on the walls in the toilet, the plaster is falling off. The menu is handwritten. I should have left at that moment!!!! And it's better not to go in at all! But apparently there was still hope for delicious and fresh food! But she collapsed with the very first dish - eggplant rolls - och. the sauce has a specific taste, it was not even possible to remove the sample and chew, because the taste buds could not withstand this violence, in the end they had to wrap (spit out) this is kneaded into a napkin. Kharcho - I have never seen such a color, I could not chew the meat, there is no question of any taste qualities. Ajapsandali is stupidly acidic, the meat is rubber (in the furnace). Ojahuri with chicken: the chicken was probably the same age as this basement (meat - rubber), the potatoes were overcooked.
The compote is very sweet and fermented. Fried fried eggs with suluguni - salted, with an incomprehensible smell of oil (or whatever it was fried in there ...). Lavash is not the first freshness, and in general, like all dishes. The greens used to season the dishes are sluggish and their appearance further detracts from the first impression of serving, not to mention the taste... All the dishes are warmed, and fried in addition, it is not clear on something smelly. As a result, the whole atmosphere is squeamish.
As a result, some of the dishes were asked to be removed from the table. We have brought a bill for 95 GEL! And they tried to explain to us that we don't understand food! We FLEW out of this basement into the fresh air, because there was absolutely no desire to be there anymore!!! Hungry, 95 lari empty, but happy to be out of this horror!!!!! We hope that our health will be fine! I would like to note that this is the first time we have been to Georgia and we are leaving Tiflis with such unpleasant impressions....
Guys, if you were planning to eat in this basement, forget it! Go to neat new establishments!
A cozy, homely cafe. You feel like visiting a Tbilisi family; old photographs on the walls, a cupboard with crystal dishes. I can't say that the food is outstanding or particularly tasty, but rather acceptable. The prices are average. This is a very good place to sit mentally and feel the spirit of the city. The friendly host can come out and treat you to tea and chat (in English, Russian or German) about this and that.
