If you like a sincere, warm atmosphere and real Georgian cuisine, which is rightfully considered one of the most diverse and delicious... That's not where you're going.
Let's start with the interior. Boring, unremarkable design. A vulgar, empty, non-working fountain in the center of the hall, some kind of inscription on the wall using elements of the Georgian alphabet, carved from separate blocks on the shelves, as well as a papakha and a burka. That's basically all that should immerse you in the atmosphere of Georgian hospitality.
We decided to celebrate Christmas with friends, and I was the initiator of visiting this institution, for which I am now really ashamed.
However, I didn't know what kind of place it was or what we were going to eat. Why did we go there? I wanted to introduce my friends to such a dish as khinkali.
To my taste, khinkali is the crown of the Georgian table. Everything else is either snacks or everyday dishes, such as kharcho. However, this is my personal and subjective opinion.
So, at least three of the guests have never eaten khinkali, and I was pleased to discover this dish for them.
Once again, I know a lot about them, and I ate them in Tbilisi, Baku, St. Petersburg, Moscow and even in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
So what? What they brought us will now always become a stereotype for them - a large overcooked dumpling, which is called "a bag with..." on the menu In short, they were really bags of ..., grayish-colored dough, nostrils, boiled. In places, the "bags" were leaking, but nothing came out of them))) They were as dry as ... pouches.
Indeed, what you expect when biting into a hinkal does not happen. There is no fragrant hot broth that flows from the hinkal into your mouth. There were some dry minced meat tortillas. Not crumbly meat filling with chopped coriander (although not always but..) but just a lump of minced meat, which may indicate that what was served to us was after freezing or ... After trying it, the guests were disappointed and asked for some vinegar or something else so that these dumplings could be consumed.
Sauces are just a fiasco. There was no place for you to be, green or red, narsharab either. And what they brought us was supposed to represent adjika. hmm. They were boring tomato paste dumplings with something added. Just stupidly bought from a nearby grocery store. There was also something white based on mayonnaise.
A plate of greens, or as pathetically indicated in the menu of the plateau of uh tosca. Lethargic three leaves of parsley, paprika, a little coriander... In short, this sadness did not even cover the bottom of the plate.
The only thing that was delicious was khachapuri in Megrelian.
For some reason, the waiters could not be reached, all their attention was focused on the visitor who was languidly chewing something at a table opposite the bar, probably the hostess or a person of no less priority. Hello!!!! 21st century! There is such a device as a waiter call button, it is not expensive and does not force the guest to tap the decanter with a fork to call the waitress.
By the way, the waitress coquettishly asked how we liked the dishes. After we did not show enthusiasm for bags, dumplings, dough secrets, anything but hinkals, her gaze went out like T2000's and she lost all interest in us.
We ate for exactly 400 Belarusian rubles. And that's it. My family and I are definitely not going there, our friends are most likely the same. "Dumplings, we'll eat at home,"
I put one star, because I think 4.3 is too high.
I would not recommend it to anyone.
One of the advantages. There are Natakhtari carbonated drinks, that's it.

We came to this restaurant with my husband quite spontaneously on a day off (we originally planned to go to another one), but sometimes spontaneity can be pleasant. To begin with, I would like to note the work of the staff, everyone is very friendly, pleasant to communicate with, they all suggested and told me, the impressions are very positive. Then I would like to mention the cuisine: khinkali is unconditionally delicious, khachapuri is also respectable, a delicious dessert, the beef was delicious, but harsh. In general, I liked the food. The bar menu also has a place to roam, a lot of cocktails, beautifully decorated and really bring a cocktail, not a bucket of ice and a little water. The interior is modest, quiet music plays softly inside, you can chat quietly. I wish your restaurant prosperity, we have only pleasant impressions.

Iberia, as always, pleases with its cordiality and hospitality. Very tasty and large portions, good service. Very tasty khachapuri in Adjarian style. It's just a pity that they don't cook spicy food anymore. One of the most favorite dishes

Iveria! Our positive attitude towards this restaurant began with a phone call. On March 8, as it turned out, if you did not take care of early table reservations, it is very difficult to find free ones. After calling Iveria, the girl did not answer "no" to me, but offered to put us in reserve. And after 2 hours, they called us back and offered a convenient time for us. Well, now about the institution itself, the tables are well located, observing the comfort zone of the guests, the service was fast enough, even considering that there was a full hall. We received help in choosing dishes. The pitch was also not long. I am a fan of cheese and all the dishes where it was, there was a lot of it and it was delicious, well viscous. The meat is juicy, not over-dried, everything is fine with spices. The dough is not hard. I liked everything in general . We chose SHOTS from alcohol, maybe a strange choice for such dishes, but we really liked the composition. After the first pitch, we didn't think about the choice and were already choosing the next ones. Each of them is interesting in its own way. All the ingredients were poured in sufficient quantity and felt very good. Some of them burned everything inside, but that was the highlight. The bartender's efforts were rated 5+. It was also very pleasant for the gift from the institution of new SHOTS in the amount of 4 pieces. Very multi-layered, colored, light. Probably the only disadvantage is the hall itself. We need to do something, add, there is not enough Georgian flavor

Probably the only disadvantage is the gym itself. There is a lack of Georgian flavor. Something needs to be done.

On December 23, 2023, we had a New Year's corporate party. It was announced: a presenter for the whole evening, Santa Claus with contests and a violinist in a modern style. The seats were booked in September, and a standard and banquet menu with a varied and delicious assortment was offered for familiarization. In fact, the menu was extremely limited: it was like a meal... portions of 2 salads and hot dishes, plates of assorted meat and vegetables, boutiques with caviar and stuffed mushrooms. The first salad was bland and devoid of any decor, the second looked like a stewed stew, the hot one in the form of the declared pork neck turned out to be dry and harsh, besides the knives were blunt. The cold cuts on a large plate looked transparently meager. Sandwiches with caviar in Georgian, so that you understand, are a small cookie with a large slice of lemon and a negligible amount of caviar. But the baked champignons were very tasty! And lavash... Well, it's just "Georgian shame"!((( According to the program: the presenter "for the whole evening" led the wedding in the basement and paid some attention to us during the breaks. The violinist was replaced by a performance of dancers and a fire show. This is not how we imagined it ((( The institution is open until 23.00, at 22.30 we were already asked to leave, we had to pack in the semi-darkness. In general, Iveria is not at all the same as it was at Marina on Ozernaya! That's not how you earn a good reputation. Our entire team is extremely disappointed!

I liked the food very much, the atmosphere too, the only disadvantage was that it was a little dark to sit in the corner, there was not enough lighting or something. Although it may be romantic for couples. I really liked the cocktails, sitting with the company I tried 7 different pieces - I liked them all. We will definitely come back to try and repeat it.

To say that everything is fine is not to say anything.
When visiting the restaurant, you will always be greeted by friendly staff. They will offer convenient places and menus, if desired, they will tell you what to choose. All the dishes that I tried were delicious, the portions are large. Interesting serving of dishes. Unobtrusive Georgian national music is playing. Convenient location in the city center. I would add a little more national color to the interior. I recommend visiting this restaurant, I am sure that you will like it.

We had lunch with the family on Sunday. The hall was less than half full, but the table was not chosen by themselves. We were told that a number of tables were booked. Georgian cuisine restaurant. Interior with drawings of a Caucasian feast, a fountain in the center of the hall. The music is unobtrusive and normal. The waiting time is probably average. The staff is polite, but you need to ask them to remove used dishes from the table. The soup and the hot dish were served at the same time. At the same time, the soup was very hot and the second, when the move reached it, was already cold. But all the dishes were very spicy and salty. In satsivi, the chicken is tough, and the watering is very liquid. For me, satsivi is a different dish. The asparagus beans ordered as a side dish turned out to be very fatty, spicy and salty. Pita bread in the form of buns is also a very dubious pita bread. Pickled vegetables are delicious. But they took them with them and appreciated the taste at home. In the restaurant, with the extreme sharpness and salinity of the dishes, pickled vegetables remained unclaimed. The American is ordinary, unremarkable, which has already turned out to be good. In short, I didn't like any of the food. My husband really liked the soup-kharcho and stewed beef, and baked potato slices. In a hot tongue (harsh) with mushrooms (delicious champignons) and nut sauce, my daughter almost broke her tooth on a nutshell and found someone else's hair. After lunch, the waiter asked if we liked it. I had to tell them about the shell and the hair, and therefore received a verbal apology. The prices for the dishes are average. Admittedly, despite the sharpness of the dishes, there was no heartburn after lunch. However, as well as the desire to visit this institution again.

With a half-empty hall, they carried an order of two dishes for about fifty minutes. The chmeruli was at room temperature, and the pizza was incredibly salty and greasy. When Iveria was at Selmash, it was very tasty and soulful. We didn't find it here.…

After moving from Ozernaya, it's not the same at all. The main dishes are still good, but the portion size does not stretch not only to the good old Iberia, but even to the grams stated in the menu. Khachapuri is very average, and khinkali is not at all, the dough is hard, there is no broth from the word at all. The service is also strange, the khinkali was brought, the plates were taken away... in short, everything went wrong.

It is difficult to call a restaurant, it is more suitable for a cafe. This place lacks atmosphere, if you position yourself as an institution of Caucasian cuisine, then you need to do something for this, for example: dress the waiters appropriately, make decorations in the hall, menus, etc., and so only music. In the kitchen separately: not all dishes are available, pork is not evenly fried and there is little of it in the dish, there is no lemonade, there is no simple orange juice. At the entrance, no one met us, we had to look for the administrator ourselves, we had a bouquet of flowers, and for some reason it was taken away and put not on our table but behind the bar, only at his request they put it on the table. There was a child with us, they didn't offer a children's table, we had to ask for everything ourselves. The waiter constantly forgot to bring something from the ordered, they put him at a table where there were no napkins and spices, everyone asked and reminded... The hall is very stuffy and hot, apparently the screw is not working well. In general, it is weak! The service, atmosphere and menu are weak, it does not pull for a restaurant, for a cafe - yes, and then it is necessary to finalize the disadvantages, only the prices do not bite relatively (average in the city).

The service is terrible! We booked a table, we were 20 minutes late and our table was already occupied, although the hall was empty. To our surprise, we were told that the reservation was no more than 30 minutes, but we were not warned about this.
We waited for salads for more than 30 minutes. Then they brought salads and shish kebabs together. The kebab is disgusting (boiled meat baked in the oven). In short, I do not advise, although this restaurant used to be on top, until it moved and the owners changed
