Awesome place, friendly staff, huge portions of dishes. So taste! Nice wine
September 5
We ate at this restaurant for 5 of the 7 days of our stay in Batumi. A gorgeous place, delicious dishes, huge portions of salad, awesome khinkali, very tasty wine. For 150 GEL for 7 people, we just overeated. We tried soups (we really liked just broth with a huge piece of meat), khinkali are juicy, the dough is thin. I recommend. Only the service is lame, then the bread will not be brought, then they will forget about the barbecue. And the dishes are served in a strange sequence: first they can bring khinkali or a hot dish, then a salad, the last dish will be soup.

I was in this cafe both in 23 and 24, an excellent combination of price and quality for this part of Batumi. A diverse hall consisting of the main room and a veranda, a good toilet. The waitresses are ready to help, yes, sometimes you have to wait for a full load, but this is an objective factor. The food has no special zest, as well as drinks, but the cost is very reasonable. But the highlight is Zandukeli soda in exceptionally beautiful bottles. I recommend.

A great restaurant!
The waiter girls are kind, pleasant and positive. The attitude towards small children is the warmest.
The food is delicious (khinkali, soups), the prices are sooo nice!!! We will come back more than once to try everything-everything-everything. The atmosphere is cozy.
The price of wine: 200g - 5 lari, 1L - 9 lari. I didn't have to choose, moreover, the waiter told us that there were ... 4 glasses to drink here. It's really light and delicious. And most importantly, my head didn't hurt. Coffee - 1 GEL.
We found it by chance and are very happy!!!

A modest and not pretentious place next to the stadium pleasantly surprised absolutely everyone. There is a hall and a veranda to choose from. Impressive tables for any company, a married couple and just a hungry person. The menu is also in Russian. The waiter girls will tell you everything. The prices are such that a hearty lunch for two is no more than 40 GEL. And it is almost in the center of Batumi. I definitely recommend it to everyone. Enjoy the good cuisine.

Amazing place! Inexpensive (normal prices, for example, khachapuri 10-12, khinkali 1,2 urban, salad with nuts 6), while very tasty. In particular, worthy khinkali, khachapuri, kebab with suluguni, chashushuli with veal. The locals visit. The place itself is visually pretty. There are a lot of people - sometimes there are no places. It is better to book.

I heartily recommend this restaurant- delicious food, especially soups, lula, salads, phali and of course khinkali! The portions are large, you can take them for two. Thanks to the sweetest and most friendly waitress Nina, she will explain everything, and she will also give you a recipe. We tried to have lunch and dinner in other places (VK, Georgia-Belarus) - it's not like that. There are a lot of people in old ambare, but we didn't wait long. Everything is clean, neat, we will definitely come back again. Thanks to the hospitable old ambare!

We had dinner at this restaurant. Lots of people, but lots of tables. Cozy, clean. We ordered kharcho, lobio in a pot and a vegetable salad with nuts. Lobio is insanely delicious 5+, salad with almost no nuts and tomatoes " drained " in the morning, sluggish. And the kharcho is the most tasteless in my life. And coriander olney stalks)The only thing is that there is a lot of meat in the kharcho and it is perfectly cooked.

Overestimated as much as possible
I absolutely do not understand why there are so many rave reviews
The food is normal, the portions are large as everywhere else, but in general without much enthusiasm
The service is just tin, they don't bring your dishes, then they take them away, they bring them again, and you should notice it yourself, all the waitresses speak both Russian and English poorly, apparently so that you can't quarrel
They brought a chicken kebab instead of kebab, we tried it, because we didn't recognize it right away, and 10 minutes later they brought us a kebab, swore that we had eaten the kebab and included it in the bill, although we didn't need it at all
The whole bill is in Georgian, all the dishes are paid there from the fool, apparently because tourists do not know the language, and also 10% of the tip is included in the bill
I would also demand a discount with such service
And as it was said in the comments below, they keep large tables for large companies or for local ones, so there is always a queue
I absolutely do not recommend visiting, the impressions of the evening are spoiled as much as possible

The food is not bad, something is not very tasty. But a very big disadvantage is the service. The waitresses are running around, they can't really say anything in Russian, and in general it seems that they somehow don't have time for us. Tables on the veranda are always on standby. That's because the girls don't want to put three people in there. They are waiting for a big company with a good check. Well, the cherry on the cake is the expectation. You order meat, fried potatoes and khachapuri. They bring you khachapuri after 20 minutes, then potatoes after another 20 minutes and then only meat after 30 minutes. And you have to choke on cold potatoes, and you take the cold khachapuri with you. Complete bullshit!

A very good cafe with a price/quality ratio. Prices are much lower than in most cafes and at the same time large portions. But in the kitchen, not wow, but a good average guy. The service is also average, but this is generally the norm for Batumi, even for +"4.7" restaurants according to Yandex

Believing in the good reviews, we decided to visit this institution, at first they could not put us at the table, the waitresses were rude and unfriendly, the dishes were thrown on the table as if you owed them, the waiters in Naples were reminded), they brought collapsed coupons that it was impossible to eat, bread was brought ten minutes after the hot was served, the bowl was with veins and with lumps of fat, the portion is small, the kebab is dry, with an incomprehensible taste and small bones came across, khinkali was also a three, of all only lobio turned out to be more or less edible, the first time this happened in Georgia, in general, the evening was spoiled.

Very cozy place. The waitresses are friendly and polite. All portions are large, and the prices are very affordable.
We tried
Chakapuli. Probably the most delicious of all that I have tasted in Georgia. Rich, lots of greens and lots of meat.
Khinkali. Thin dough, not salted meat (as it often happens) delicious broth.
Shkmeruli. Everything was delicious, but the sauce was slightly over-salted, next time I'll ask for less salt.
The menu is very diverse, we will go again, try other dishes.
I recommend to visit!!!
Thanks to the chefs for preserving traditional tastes!

It's not the first time here. Everything is on top. The food is delicious and the staff is polite and friendly. They speak Russian. Some orders took a long time to prepare, so I had to take them home. Smoked ribs upset((( The price segment is lower than in an institution of this kind and the menu. I recommend 100%

I remember the visit itself vaguely. I came in a bad mood (the aviation company,, red pigs,, rescheduled my regular flight for 30 hours). That's why I immediately started drinking wine. It turned out to be extremely pleasant. I probably drank a liter. I had a snack with cheese, then khinkali. It's quite tasty. Clear. A lot of people. The waiters know Russian. He sang songs in the taxi. My wife said that we had a very budget meeting. The institution meets its rating. PS , do not fly ,,red pigs,, they will deceive you

The cafe was our regular place for lunch or dinner. The service is slow, very noisy (just local companies like that) , but very tasty. And probably the cheapest and tastiest beer. The staff is polite. Everything is cool.

The interior is good, the prices are low. But the quality of the food leaves much to be desired, pork kebab (12lari) with bones and fat, it is unclear why these pieces. Eggplant with nuts (6 lari) tasteless. Khinkali (1-1.2 lari) made of thick dough, like dumplings. Kharcho soup (10lari) was normal, but it also had a piece of beef, not removed from the bone and cartilage. The food arrived quickly. In general, what are the prices - such are the dishes.

It's a good place, although it's difficult to sit there, but if you come before 7.30 there will be an empty table. Since we went there every evening, the waiters remembered us and immediately offered us a table. The menu is great and delicious, especially Madame Bovary's dish. The prices are very nice. Khinkali was eaten and tastier, but at this price it is very good.

I do not give the minimum rating for the kitchen (since I did not manage to try it), but for the minimum customer orientation. Once they came 1 hour before closing time - they said that orders were not accepted, the kitchen was closed and "goodbye".
We arrived a few days later 1.40 minutes before closing, the table was just vacated, but they also said that they would not accept the order.
There are a lot of local citizens and in general, it seems that this institution is focused on them, and the rest on a residual basis.

Just the best in Batumi. Shish kebab, khinkali, khachapuri and most importantly the most delicious homemade wine. Semi-sweet red wine for 13 lari a liter is worth taking with you in your luggage

We ordered khinkali, eggplant with nuts, and suluguni with mushrooms. We were disappointed in all positions except mushrooms. Khinkali is the worst of those who ate in different places in two weeks, there is little meat, the taste is average. There are few eggplants in the serving, and the bitter eggplants themselves interrupt the taste of the already tasteless filler. I don't understand why the institution has such a rating, people probably haven't been to other places)

The kitchen is good. We ate at this cafe several times. I just don't recommend Ojahuri. There will be dry meat. The prices are very good. The attitude towards the guests leaves much to be desired. If you have paid the bill, you will be kicked out even in the rain. That's what they did to us. Although there were already a lot of empty tables. That's the kind of Georgian hospitality here…

you need to come here for a long time, the prices are pleasing, everything is very tasty, but for a very very long time. khinkali was brought to 2 people at once, although they asked for 3 servings, after 15 minutes only the union was brought after that, then the salad.... and when you left, they say that the khinkali is still ready. in short, if you are not in a hurry, we recommend a beer))))

Salad: bitter leaves, bitter cucumbers (cut from the bottom of the buttocks). The okroshka is half-empty: only matzoni diluted with water, and a whole uncut egg floats in it :)
The service is unpleasant: It's as if we've strained the waitress a lot with our arrival, and now she's unhappy. Well, I'm sorry for coming; this is the last time.
And they forgot about French fries at all. They brought it when we were already leaving.

Из плюсов:
+ относительно дешевая еда и вино;
+ летняя веранда и внутри помещения чисто и аккуратно.
Из минусов:
- нерасторопный персонал, которому то и дело нужно напоминать о своем присутствии и об ожидании заказанного даже пот средней загруженности заведения посетителями;
- старые поцарапанные столы внутри помещения;
- меню не отличается разнообразием: из десертов только мороженое, да фрукты, например. Некоторых позиций, указанных в меню, никогда нет в наличии, например - стейк из рыбы. На вопрос, а когда стейк появится, отвечают, что «никогда, а меню просто старое и не отражает реальной картины имеющегося».

Just the best khinkali in Batumi, the rest of the menu is also on the level, cool kebabs, salads, wine and chacha 5+ and all for a modest price. The kitchen cooks quickly, the waitresses serve quickly. I just didn't have enough spices, sharpness, but I think if you say it, they can add it.

Now there will be an honest review!!
We have been to old barn several times.
The first time everything was fine, we tried khinkali with minced beef, mushrooms and cheese. It was delicious.
The second time is a complete disappointment!!! Because the waiters immediately ask how many people, if 2, they did not particularly want to sit at a table, because it is more profitable for them to accept a large company. As a result, we were allowed to sit at a large table for 1 hour. Almost all the tables had a reserve sign, but when a large company came, they put them at these tables. That is, in fact, there was no reserve. Was it possible?!! Therefore, life hack-if you want to sit down at the table, say that there are 5 of you, and calmly sit down and order food for two😁
The food was so-so, I waited a long time for Mexican potatoes, okay, sharpness.. everything is spicy in Georgia, but the potatoes should be so salty.. it was impossible to eat it!!
The waiter girl did not know Russian well, ordered 2 lemonades, brought one. They asked me to bring the bill, I carried it for 20 minutes...in general, it is a disappointment.
Oh, and also, it's very noisy in the establishment!!! Noise, farce🥲
Unreasonably high score here!!!
It is better to go to the Toastmaster, it is located nearby, an inconspicuous place, but the food is delicious, pleasant service, there are no crowds of people, pleasant music!!

The reviews about the fast feed are not true. Everything was very slow, they waited 30 minutes in an empty hall so that they would just take an order from us. Then we cooked khinkali for 1.5 hours. The guy at the next table waited for 1 hour for khachapuri in Ajarian
By food
They forgot to put walnuts in eggplant with walnuts

I was alone, they didn't put me at the big table, although it was free and there was no queue. After 5 minutes of talking at a slightly elevated level, they sat down to wait until a small table was free and decide on the dishes. Well, that's it. The food is normal, the prices are cheap. I won't go anymore because of the attitude of the staff

I didn't like the place. The shish kebab is absolutely tasteless. Out of 10 pieces of pork meat, only 2 turned out to be boneless, it is difficult to call it a shish kebab, khinkali and lavash did not wait, mushroom soup for 3 points. Around the corner, an ordinary dining room is much tastier. I don't recommend it

The interior is not bad, the kitchen is just awful
I ordered a quail, they dried it in the oven, they brought just a piece of dried small meat, they ordered eggplants in the same way, the soup and salad turned out to be normal and the wine was therefore 3 stars, but I would advise changing the cook, otherwise there will be no guests at the restaurant… I do not know how the staff takes out such dishes at all…

I had to wait a very long time for food (in ojahuri with veal, the meat is hard and fried strongly. Khinkali waited forever, and did not wait for one portion. Beer was considered more expensive than on the menu. I do not recommend it. The prices are cheap on the menu, but in fact you will pay more

The prices are really not expensive . The menu with local cuisine is good. But don't take the penny ribs! Poor serving of the dish, it feels like they bought and warmed up in the store, cruel. There is also a pork kebab. Otherwise, it's not bad.

The service is disgusting. We came in a large company with children, received the menu and after that we waited a long time for the waitress to come to us to take the order, several times they called out to the waitresses with a request to take the order, but we were ignored. The result is that we got up and went to another restaurant.

Отличный ресторан. Цены ниже средних по городу, а порции большие. Еда вкусная, меню разнообразное, преобладает грузинская кухня, что хорошо для туриста.
Девочки официанты стараются, из-за полной посадки (по вечерам) бывает, что заказ приходится подождать, но это ни капли не портит впечатление о ресторане.
Также о том, что готовят здесь вкусно и то, что это место популярно говорят очереди около ресторана по вечерам в выходные дни, так, что бронируйте столик заранее (контакты ресторана есть в интернете, так-же отвечают в Инстаграмм).

Khinkali waited 1.5 hours, and this was on Monday afternoon, without a full landing. The khinkali themselves turned out to be a complete disappointment, everything else is quite edible.
While we were sitting, we came up to ask for change three times. Also, such a contingent does not add appetite
