We decided to have a dinner here but it definitely was the worst place we’ve ever been. We were here 28.06 at 22.
Firstly, the thin probably 40 y o waiter was so rude from the start, but by the way we decided to order wine and 10 khinkali(5 with mushrooms and 5 with beef). We got wine in 10 minutes, but we had been waiting for our khinkali for almost one our until we decided to exit. We saw 2 companies that came after us and got their khinkali in probably 20-30 minutes(normal time in most places). Maybe because they ordered more khinkali than we did, maybe the waiter liked them more, we will never know.
We reminded the waiter and asked about our order and he said “they will be soon” and 20 minutes later “I said soon”. But he said it several times during 50 minutes :)
When we decided to go away and pay for the wine only, he said that “I told you it may take a while, they will be soon, do you want to eat or not” and started arguing with us, but all we wanted was just to pay for the wine. Then he said “never come here again”. After this we asked a complaints book and heard a lot from him again, but we didn’t get it. The waiter just said "go away. You will never come here"
We do really love Georgia and everything about it, but it was the worst service ever.
I didn’t like it. We came to drink a glass of wine and maybe have a snack. The establishment is empty, but the waiter came 10 minutes after the call. They didn’t take anything but salad and wine. The portion is small (and wine and salad). The feeling that we did a favor by serving us. This is the first negative review of Georgia.
No one met me at the restaurant, I went to look for an empty seat, said hello to all the staff along the way, but no one bothered to escort me to the table. in the end, I found an empty seat, took off my clothes, sat for 5 minutes choosing food from the menu, the waiter came and kicked me out, saying that the place was not reserved and began to swear that I did not ask if this place was free. There was no "reserved" sign on the table. I'm sure he just forgot to put up the "reserved" sign. Very unpleasant, they didn’t escort me, they kicked me out and scolded me even more.
RESERVED" and in fact there is no one in the cafe.
There are a lot of negative reviews, where does the cafe administration look? They told us there was very tasty food here and we went there, but they didn't even let us into an empty cafe! And where is the hospitality of Tbilisi?
Excellent restaurant, had a delicious lunch, khinkali is very tasty, kebab, khachapuri, I liked everything. The landing in the afternoon at lunch was complete. Everything is fast, efficient, friendly, the waiters are great!
a great place if you want to try Georgian cuisine, it is in great demand, so you can easily not get to an empty table every day, you liked the dishes very much, the atmosphere is pleasant, although I am writing a review almost a year after visiting, I hope if they have changed it is only for the better
Wonderful, diverse Georgian cuisine, Very polite staff and manager Irina, and another wonderful feature: every evening a very beautiful trio sings Georgian songs with a guitar
We chose this place based on reviews, and we were not mistaken. We settled down on the open veranda. The menu is in Russian, the choice was decided quite quickly. Khinkali with meat is quite spicy, with cheese sooo delicious. A portion of salad for two was not even mastered, it was so big. The prices are quite normal, for two with wine it turned out about 60 lari. Let's come back again.
Great food; you not only want to lick your fingers, but also eat them! The service is very fast, the atmosphere is amazing, the waiters are friendly! And even more so for such a price
I heartily recommend it! You will be delighted
Delicious, the usual prices for Tbilisi, lots of tables, good location, I recommend trying all kinds of khinkali (order from 5 pieces), I also liked the compote
A very pleasant place, it was right next to our hotel. The staff speaks Russian well, and in general the people are very pleasant. The food is delicious, we went there three times in four days. Khinkali, khachapuri, ojahuri, eggplant with nuts - everything is super tasty, 10 out of 10, the prices are also quite reasonable.
The bathroom is large, clean and equipped.
If you want to have a delicious Georgian meal, be sure to come here.
Good restaurant, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. I definitely recommend it, it is in this institution that there is no negative attitude towards Russian tourists, as in most other places in Tbilisi.
Very tasty khinkali! They also took soups, eggplant with nuts. Everything is insanely delicious, the portions are huge. Definitely, I recommend it. Some of the best hinkals in the city
I recommend the cafe to visit. Delicious cuisine, friendly staff, some speak Russian. The menu is also available in Russian. The prices are reasonable.
Everything was delicious, one day they couldn't even sit down at an empty table, but they were lucky the other day. The prices are reasonable. There is no service fee. There are not always empty tables. A popular place.
We ordered khachapuri, khinkali, pork kebab and vegetable salad. Drinks include juice and beer. The barbecue was very tasty. The khinkali had thick dough, and the khachapuri did not like the appearance and cheese. The dough was delicious. The staff spoke Russian poorly. You can cut it off without talking at all.English is spoken well. The prices are reasonable.
It's very tasty here, what's khinkali, what's salads, what's hot. Very tasty lemonade, carbonated, sour, the waiters are kind and friendly, Monica served us, we were satisfied with everything. I definitely recommend this restaurant, as well as their second restaurant, near Kura
Probably the best Khinkali in all of Tbilisi, there is a menu in Russian, I pumped up the current khachapuri in Adjarian, therefore, only four. In general, I recommend it: if you are nearby and want to eat fragrant and juicy khinkali, then you are definitely here.
The place is not as cool as it was advertised. For example, across the street, Rustaveli 37, there is a restaurant where it tastes better, the portions are larger, the service is better, a large hall, but it is not even on the map. As for this place: mentally, in a family way, good girls work. On food: sometimes a strange combination of flavors, there is no mineral water, only Borjomi, always! And in the menu, go ahead. They forget about the order - they even had to leave once. Wait a long time, then quickly. Places are always occupied in the evening, you can wait an hour ... and in general it is not clear why.
We went to a cafe to have a snack. There were a lot of places, almost no people. Everyone was in the cafe opposite😂 There were three of us, including the child. We like to eat a lot - we sat down not at a 4-seater table (although there are such benches that you can't call 4-seater), but at a 6-seater. The table we wanted to sit at was not marked in reserve, the second one was with a sign, they did not go for it. The couple who came in later sat down at a table with a sign and didn't say a word to them. And some pestilent waiter ran into us and began to be rude and kick us out of the table, hiss at us and mutter something under his breath as he left. Although in principle he could have explained it normally and we would have moved, we are not conflicted people and understand calm speech. We did not stay in this place, we thought, despite the reviews, to go - we abruptly changed our minds. Judging by the photos of the "dishes", it's good that they didn't stay😅 Next time we will take into account the stars and the latest reviews about the establishments😅
So many expectations and how they are broken... they ordered khachapuri in Adjarian style, brought it with cold cheese and frozen butter... they asked us to warm it up and at first they proved to us that this was intended, then they took it away with a psycho without saying anything. We thought about making a refund, but while we were waiting for another dish, the same khachapuri was brought to us, but with a burnt boat.. the impression is not very good at all.. we will no longer go to this institution ourselves
The menu is in Russian and English. Delicious pastries and wine.
Fried liver is over-salted and peppered meat. Ojahuri with pork, the meat is not chewed, but the vegetables are delicious.
They gave 70 GEL for two. The food is not worth the money. Expensive and inedible.
It's a good place. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. Being in Georgia for the first time, I ordered Adjakhuri with mushrooms-it was very tasty cooked. I recommend this place.
On the third attempt, it still managed to get into the institution. The first time they didn't even pay attention to us at the entrance, and only when we asked if we could sit down, they told us that there were no seats. There were no seats for the second time either. Two ojahuri and a mchadi (corn tortilla) were carried for at least forty minutes. The compote (bottled, not homemade) was brought with the taste of feijoa, despite the fact that there were other flavors in the refrigerator, but we were not offered to choose. In ojahuri, there are three pieces of meat at the very bottom, the portions are small, while the cost is 25 lari with veal, 20 with pork. No one responded to the call on the "account" button of the electronic device on the table three times, I had to go to the counter on my own to pay. The result is that such a demand for this institution is completely unclear, I would not like to return.
A hard kebab, a strange-tasting soup with meat and spit. Plus, for some reason, in the evening there was no opportunity to order hot drinks, banal tea. Thank you for giving me a charger for my phone and charging it))
We lived very close by, so we decided to have lunch at this place. They took meat (chicken and pork kebabs) and khinkali. The food was carried for a long time, they waited for 40 minutes. The meat turned out to be delicious, juicy, with a good marinade, but the khinkali is terrible: boiled, with cheese is not particularly tasty, since the cheese inside has boiled and turned into some kind of porridge. The staff didn't seem particularly friendly. As a result, what upset us the most was that 20% for service was included in the bill, when we pointed it out in the receipt, saying that it was not written in the menu, that there was some kind of payment for service or tax (we were told that this was a tax, although it was written service) they brought us an invoice without these 20%))) apparently, they tried to cheat like that ... in general, it's not the best place to visit.
Fantasy. Very tasty. Be sure to try khinkali branded panasuri. And some kind of khachapuri. The wine is great. Solid 5. Here is the menu relevant for June 2024
It's frankly not tasty. Homemade Rkatsiteli wine is a liqueur with a strong alcoholic flavor. Imereti khachapuri is over-salted, khinkali is not cooked (of the 3 different options, all 3 are with raw dough). It is not very clear where this rating comes from. There is also no hot water in the bathroom.
We went purposefully to Khinkali after reading reviews about good cuisine. In reality, the food turned out to be mediocre. Khinkali with mutton is not on the menu. Those khinkali that we ordered turned out to be too salty. The interior of the place is dull and shabby.
It's a very strange place. It looks decent, but the waiters are kind of detached. They forgot to bring part of the order, did not understand what phali was, served very slowly, almost without regaining consciousness. The food is average. In Moscow, Georgian restaurants cook better.
The food is very tasty. But the service was a little pumped up, it took a long time to serve, the wine was not brought immediately, I had to remind you. In general, it's a good place for your money.
The queue , the confusion , the waiters don 't understand Russian ( maybe we were so lucky ) , which killed the menu only in Georgian and English . Although 50 % are Russians , no one came up to us for 15 minutes , they left . I honestly won 't say anything for the kitchen .
Probably the best place we found to have a delicious and inexpensive meal , fast service , friendly waiters and administrators , there are few places and therefore you will have to wait to sit down , or book in advance so that there is definitely a table , very tasty khachapuri , everything that is grilled , large portions of salads
The best khinkali in Georgia is probably served here. It is better to book in advance, otherwise you will not be able to accommodate. The restaurant does not have enough stars from the sky and it is not always convenient to sit there, but everything is more than covered by delicious food
Visited several times. All times were satisfied. Very tasty. Price -quality is on top, even the quality outweighs)
The staff is friendly, the interior is interesting.
I advise you to visit :)
Delicious and very even, khachapuri in Megrelian bomb , khinkali kalakuri 10/10. But the service ..
It depends on the luck and mood of the waiters.
There were two days in a row , on the first day the waiter was very indignant at us for not reminding another waiter to take out the salad ( which was remembered ) but it was somehow in the receipt. And from now on, he advised us to immediately talk about the forgotten salad in an aggressive form.
But the second day in the same institution was a great success and without incidents , probably because this waiter did not approach us 😂
I have been working in catering for 8 years myself and I understand everything perfectly, especially how the work is arranged inside, only for this reason this situation has remained an unpleasant aftertaste.
Definitely my favorite place to get full. Khinkali "Pasanauri" is amazing, khachapuri in Adjarian is insanely delicious, although it did not look very good. They were sick of taking 2 men and a plate of bread- if with a girl, then I had a lot! But Chakhokhbili is simply delicious. We tried shish kebab and vegetable salad.
Just go and try the kitchen here!
Fast and delicious. Friendly waiters. I recommend.

Delicious khinkali, khachapuri, the service is certainly not very good, but it's the same everywhere in Georgia. The wine is not bad, but sometimes it is served warm and it is not very good. It's worth visiting at least once.
We went out in the evening with a young man. At 21:00 all the tables were occupied, we were turned around. After waiting a bit, we came back and asked to make a reservation.
An hour later we returned, they showed us to an empty table, and we sat down ourselves. About 5 minutes later, the waiter came up to us, brought the menu, plates and cutlery.
We ordered 5 khinkali with potatoes for 0.9 lari, 5 khinkali pork + beef + spices for 1.6 lari and sauces for 2 and 3 lari each. Khinkali wanted to drink it down. The menu has wine in glasses: red semi-sweet for 9 lari, white semi-sweet for 5, dry for 5. There is also a liter of compote on the menu for 12 lari ... but we liked NATURAL peach juice for 3.5 lari. I immediately remembered the famous Georgian hospitality, and the guy and I decided that such generosity (the waiter said that they would bring a liter of juice) was a gift for visitors from the institution. That's what we ordered: a liter of natural peach juice for 3.5 lari. After 10 minutes, they brought us a bottle of Cappy (Coca Cola produces this miracle - the leader among manufacturers of natural drinks) and two glasses. The bottle was really a liter. The bottle was enough for 4 glasses, this is important for the end of the story (the waiter brought the glasses to us, we did not take them from home).
Half an hour after the order, khinkali was brought to us. Stunningly. That's serious. The guy literally mumbled with pleasure, drinking juice from meat khinkali. We were glad that we ate for 25 GEL maximum.
And now they bring us the bill. 37.5 GEL. Service fee (which is not available) - you ask? But it's not! A bottle of Cappy cost us 17.5 lari (it costs a maximum of 5 in the store).
As it turned out, 3.5 lari costs one glass of this NATURAL juice. We were given 5 (apparently 200 ml * 5), although we had enough for 4 incomplete glasses.
That's the way it is!
The story of what: people come to a restaurant or cafe not only to satisfy their physical hunger, but also to relax their soul. But the attitude of the staff towards the guests does not allow this. And when they charge you more money than you should, it's generally sad.
Be on the alert. And khinkali is really tasty and cheap for September 2023
