it was the first place we visited in Georgia (we arrived late, I was hungry).. the internet at the hotel was bad - the reviews did not load.. If I read it, I would not go 100%.. to be honest, after this establishment, I wanted to turn around and leave the country.. which is what they are trying to achieve.. the food is delicious (even if they spit on it, it's not noticeable).. the attitude is not exactly terrible, but it is very uncomfortable.. as many have written, Russian speakers are the last to be served.. the menu is printed on paper in English without pictures, grammars, etc.: name - price.. I don't know if it's different for others..
It's disgusting and stupid..

Cool interior, cozy courtyard. One of the disadvantages is that it is difficult to find, it is located among some kind of semi-slums. The service is super-fast, in English. In general, it's a fashionable place.

The food is very interesting and delicious. Seals are running around everywhere, which is especially pleasing. The interior is wonderful. I would like to note that no one adds 20% to the check. Fact check, relatively speaking, translates as "historical background" or "real fact". Yes, it's unpleasant, but you don't pay an extra percentage of tips, don't mislead people and learn English. :)

I really liked it! And the interior and the cats that jumped on the table. Delicious food and large portions! I spoke English. The waiters were very friendly. Those who do not like the attitude towards Russians - do not go there! There is a warning on the gate. They have the right. Half of Tbilisi is covered in inscriptions about Putin and a Russian warship. Yes, I also don't like it when all Russians are smeared with the same paint. Well, after the Second World War, all Germans were also considered fascists - even anti-Nazis. You need to put up with this, and not put 0 stars on the basis of nationalism. No one is pulling Russians to this restaurant.

I do not recommend the word to Russians at all. The waiters pretend that they do not understand Russian, there are practically no real Georgian dishes, the atmosphere is the poorest. They sat down, exhausted themselves with the menu and left. There was no desire to stay there!!!

The food court is probably especially good in spring and summer. But we got there by numerous friendly recommendations in early January and were not disappointed either.
Signs and posters warning about the political position of the bar owners are immediately greeted at the entrance. It seems to me that if you don't agree, don't come in, that's all.
The service is provided in Georgian or English. The waitress girls are very nice and friendly. According to the dishes: the most delicious vegetable salad (because of the very tasty butter) and the most delicious lamb kebab that I have tried here.
A small minus: a small selection of beer. There are two items on the menu — one lager and one cider.

Russian russians, or if you speak Russian, don't go there. You will be served at the end of the queue, treated mediocre. The food is delicious, but it is also cooked in many other places with a great attitude towards Russians.
Russian Russians write such nonsense on checks when a huge part of the visitors are Russians (when I visited the restaurant, there was only one couple from Georgia, the rest of the visitors are Russians), it's a stupid thing to do, I wanted to leave a tip, but when I saw the check, I changed my mind.

It is an absolutely stupid position of the restaurant to equalize everyone under one comb and add 20% of the check. You could have warned me at least. Perhaps they are not smart enough to understand that it is unlikely that their stupidities will get into the target audience for which this is intended. God is their judge, catch one in all services

A very old place. Delicious food. The standard service for Georgia. I recommend that if you are in Georgia for a short period of time, be sure to visit in order to get into the Kalarite

Beautiful interior, interesting dishes and absolutely wild, cave Nazism. +20% to the check because I speak Russian with my family? Moreover, there are no warnings anywhere, you will find out about 20% from the bill that the waiter brought. An interesting approach and attitude to the guests. Question to the administration, how do you determine where your guest came from, according to Russian speech?
2 stars for the interior and food, for the famous Georgian attitude to the guest - 0.

I give it 1 star for the attitude! I advise you to choose another restaurant, there are other good places with delicious food and a good attitude! There are a lot of obscure stickers, starting from the entrance and ending with the windows, which spoils the atmosphere
The service is poor. The food is average

A super restaurant. Favorite time to visit is lunch and sit outside
It's a little dark inside the restaurant because of the lack of light, and in the daytime it's even good
Everything I ate was delicious. There are many seasonal dishes. Very nice dishes. The wine list is generally normal, although of course it is always not enough for me
Discreet but good service.
In general, one of the favorite restaurants in Tbilisi.

A very beautiful place, great food. Prices are above average. The interior is incomparable. It's very cozy. I didn't like the service, there was a boorish attitude. This, of course, spoiled the impression. But I still recommend it, the place is super!

We were here with a large company (of different nationalities, apparently, this turned out to be a plus for us)
the table was booked in advance, the waiters were polite, but not very attentive. The kitchen is very, very good, delicious and satisfying! The wine is excellent!
The interior is cool, so atmospheric! There are really a lot of cats, very much!

The staff stops serving when they see Russian speakers. There are anti-Russian stickers everywhere. As soon as they heard the Russian speech, they did not meet us, we had to choose the tables ourselves. The waiter was waited for a long time. Also, the order was barely taken out

People who don't understand how business works and spoil the whole experience of the trip. Terrible nationalists who have a very flat view of the world. I feel very sorry for them.
As you already understood, they do not want to switch to Russian - this is their business, but they cannot connect, understand and express a thought in English even at the child's level. The concept of hostesses, submission time, feed back - no. The staff is not trained in anything. You will get more in the market than in this "restaurant"

We had dinner at this restaurant on April 4, 2024. We should immediately note that the restaurant expresses its political position vividly. Russian Russians have a separate item in the receipt: they withdraw 20 percent of the amount only for the fact that you are Russian or "live in Russian-occupied territory," as it says in the receipt. They asked the administrator for a comment, to which she replied the following: "this is not the policy of the restaurant, but of Georgia." In general, this is discrimination on the part of the restaurant.
We have been in Georgia for a week, we have eaten a lot of places, we met this for the first time. And now about the food. The restaurant has traditional national cuisine, a beautiful Georgian-style room, and a terrace. We noticed a lot of locals. The menu is not very diverse, the prices are not justified above average. There are almost no sweets. The menu has a plate with traditional Georgian sweets for 24 lari, with some dried fruits, peanuts and a little churchkhela on it. We were waiting for more variety.

We came to eat Georgian food. We took three positions on the menu, as a result, we overpaid for the lack of quality, the taste of soap and unfinished dishes. beef in pomegranate sauce is still good, Georgian risotto with lamb will make you eat red Moscow cologne and get a microscope to search for meat. tax is not included in the cost of the receipt, so you will be charged a tax of 18 percent on top. It's sad, tasteless, but the interior is good. the portions are small, you won't be able to eat enough for that kind of money. you can eat three times cheaper in a restaurant with a less luxurious interior, but with better service, delicious food and large portions. I wouldn't come again. An asterisk for the interior and the affectionate cats that hang out inside

To put it in general, it's awesome. But I will explain the details. We were on Friday evening, the landing was complete both inside and in the courtyard. Therefore, the wait for the dishes was also long. The barbecue and trout were waiting for about an hour! The salads were brought quickly, the portions are large, very tasty. The fish was very tasty in the end. But the kebab is quite mediocre, on the "so-so". Although he was saved by the fact that he was with awesome pickles in the serve.
The most important feature of this restaurant is its atmosphere (on the veranda in the courtyard), 3 black cats that look at the table, and warm wool blankets that were served to throw on from the coolness.
I didn't notice anything about Russophobia, although I openly and loudly spoke in Russian, including with the waiter. But a friend made an order in English

In general, good food, with a claim, although there are moments, the meat is too salty, the mushroom soup is original, but not delicious, there is a lot of vinegar in the salad with unrefined sunflower oil. The interior is really cool, filled with life and attention, working fireplaces. But...
but the owners have pathological Russophobia.. a hotbed of nationalism to be judged for.🤦
I can't recommend this place to anyone adequate.

The interior is good, khachapuri is delicious, and so is the wine... That's where the advantages end. At the entrance, inside and even in the receipt *** and anti-Russian propaganda.) The waiters, upon hearing the Russian speech, immediately become not very friendly. I wrote about the food that I really liked - khachapuri bomb, the wine is delicious. Shish kebab with an interesting presentation, but in itself it is generally delicious, the vegetables on the coals are very salted. Upon returning home, I found that all the pants were covered in cat hair... They don't clean there yet... I do not recommend it under any sauce, you will only spoil the impression of the country...

It's a terrible place. Cats are everywhere and it smells terrible. If you didn't know, it's quite common for people to be allergic to animals. But that's okay. Do you even know how to take care of them? In general, everything is dirty. Tables , chairs, floors. The menu is a printout of the text on 10 sheets. Super easy to read 👍 The prices are quite high. When the waiter proudly said that she did not speak Russian, we began to speak good English. It is clear that a person cannot connect two words. The atmosphere is like a grandmother's in a closet with the same staff 🤮

A very nice place, with a stunningly cozy courtyard.
It is not easy to find the entrance, you will see a painted gate, this is the entrance.
The staff is friendly, the food is delicious. The interior, as in many establishments in Tbilisi, consists of old Soviet furniture. When was the last time you ate from a Bohemia plate?
Must-visit

We were with friends at this cafe based on recommendations from various tourist sites and travel guides, as the recommendations were excellent, however, the place did not justify itself completely.
Everything we didn't order was very mediocre and wasn't worth the money they were asking for. Only the wine was delicious and I really liked the atmosphere, but that's it.
We ordered soup and several local dishes with meat. None of my friends appreciated it.

This is the first time I'm writing a negative review, because I just came across the MOST DISGUSTING service in the world. No one met us, they didn't put us down, when they tried to find out about the availability of tables, there was a feeling that we owed something to the waiter. No one coordinated, they answered completely rudely - you can't sit outside, sit inside, NO ONE saw you off, went inside -the girl didn't pay any attention to us. We looked for tables, asked her where we could sit, and the answer was NO TABLES. And why can't you say this when you see that we have come in and are looking for a place??
I have never encountered such terrible service.
But the atmosphere and interior are cool

God forbid, when entering a restaurant to drop a word in Russian ... every employee will take on the challenge to do everything to make you uncomfortable. They will offer a dirty table in the corner, saying that the rest of the tables are in reserve, although after an hour and a half of waiting for dishes, no one took these tables ... and needless to say, after that, all the food was not just cold but delicious! The wine was not bad, probably even good, but in a compartment with a full-fledged description of what happened, it could not smooth out the sharp corners…
Revisiting this place will be akin to true sadomy…

Everything is just wonderful! And the atmosphere and the food. The staff is trying hard. But the waiter did not duplicate the order and then brought a dish that we did not order, but this is not critical. There is one point.... there is a negative label on the output group.

If you want to spoil the impression of Georgia, come here. She spoke English. as soon as they hear Russian, the attitude changes. in an absolutely empty hall, all the tables were booked, they were free only for an hour. she left, did not make an order. there are plenty of restaurants around with the best atmosphere and without rudeness with fascism.

It's a disgusting place, they ruined all the opinion about Georgia, as soon as we came in and started speaking Russian, we were greeted with nasty faces, no hello, no smiles, nothing. The menu was brought, the waiter left, never came back, walked past and pretended that we were not there....
We sat there for 40 minutes …
Of course we left, but finally I went up to the receptionist and said in Russian:
Thank you for your hospitality and a delicious lunch.
It's a shame that ordinary people who came to visit beautiful Georgia suffer, it so happened that we ended up here during the war.
But we are not to blame for this, we are ordinary tourists and faced with such Russophobia.
Very sorry..
I definitely do not recommend this place, the sediment was not pleasant.
