The best Georgian cuisine we’ve ever tasted
May 1, 2023
Advantages:
Atmosphere
Hospitality
Salad cucumber, tomatoes with walnuts - I like it. I asked without oil. Firstly it was served with oil, but then replaced with what I asked (18lari)
Disadvantages:
Prices
Chihirtma (chicken soup) - I asked if it’s fat, they said no. Finally it’s was really fat. Chicken inside was ok, but partly hard to chew (18 lari)

We came here on recommendation and did not regret it..We, like the other guests, were greeted by the hostess herself. The most atmospheric place. Very cozy, delicious. An unusual home menu. The brutes have excellent knowledge of languages. We will definitely recommend the restaurant to our friends.
If there were more stars to put, I would put 10!
I am surprised by the reviews with amazing ratings.
Thank you so much for the attention you gave us, for the warmth we felt, for your idea and for the hard work you put in. I wish you good health and prosperity.

A wonderful family restaurant located in an old house. This place offers not only delicious homemade food, but also a real boost of warmth and hospitality.
From the very first minutes, you can feel that you have come to visit a friendly Georgian family. The hostess of the restaurant conducted a short tour of the house, which has preserved the atmosphere of the past centuries: high ceilings, vintage furniture, vintage photographs. This house seems to tell stories about the life of several generations, creating a unique comfort.
The food here is very tasty! All dishes are prepared with love, according to family recipes.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is incredibly friendly. The hostess and the staff are carefully and sincerely interested in whether you are satisfied, recommend dishes and share stories about the culinary traditions of Georgia. All this makes you feel not like a client, but an honored guest in this amazing place.
It was not just a dinner, but a real trip into the atmosphere of a Georgian house. We will definitely come back again and advise everyone who wants to try not only delicious food, but also immerse themselves in the warmth of Georgian culture.

This is the best place where we had lunch. The hostess is a wonderful woman. She is very friendly and respectful. And the kitchen is just amazing. Everything is like at home, as if cooked for yourself. Lobio was already boiling in a clay pot. I have not eaten such a Lobio in any restaurant, the kharcho soup simply amazed me with its taste. Fresh dishes, all cooked at once. I was especially struck by the interior, it's like in a time machine you come back for 30-40 years at least. I am glad that the family honors the traditions of its kind, its ancestors. By visiting this restaurant, you will not only have a delicious and very satisfying meal, but also get only positive energy while being there, in this cozy place. The hostess would like to wish health, good luck and all the best to her and her sons, who know the historical value of their wonderful restaurant, the pride of their grandmother. Peace, warmth and comfort to this family. I recommend visiting this amazing place!!!!!!!!! My son and I were completely delighted, coming to Tbilisi now we will only have lunch and dinner there!

P.S. I introduced friends from Moscow to Tbilisi, thanks to this bright and very intelligent family, they had the right impression of the country. Thank you again for being there 👍

A pleasant, cozy, atmospheric place. A very hospitable hostess who told the story of her house. The beauty of this restaurant consists of little things that are selected with taste. Some plates are worth a lot! The food is average, I did not like the lula, they are very dry. Delicious soups (kharcho and beans). Not a bad chicken in cream sauce (chkmeruli). In general, if I find myself in Tbilisi again, I will most likely come in.

They randomly chose an institution to sit on my birthday. And how lucky we are. In addition to the cozy atmosphere, we have already been welcomed so cordially, so warmly. The food is amazing, it feels like they are doing it with all their heart.
It's very cool that the hostess takes orders herself sometimes. Patiently explained to my friend about each main course to help her choose. Just wow
Then we had a little tour of the house, which is also amazing.
Not just an ordinary diner, but a restaurant with a soul and a history.
I highly recommend and hope to visit many more times myself

We came to this place by chance and were very pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is wonderful, and I was very impressed by the history of the family home, which they decided to convert into a restaurant. The staff is very friendly, the restaurant owner did a great job! You can see that everything is done with soul and love, as soon as you enter the restaurant, you immediately feel it. I really liked the way the owner talks about his business with love and warmth, it's very cool! The food, wine and chacha are simply divine! We definitely recommend this place!

An excellent Georgian home-cooked restaurant with a unique, I would even say sincere attitude of the hostess. The hostess herself met us and showed us an old bread oven, told us the whole history of the restaurant. A very tasty salad with breast and pumpkin, homemade khinkali in sauce is insanely delicious. We were there for three days and all three days we only went here for lunch. Excellent homemade white wine! I recommend you to visit 👍🏻

A place you want to return to 🤍 During your stay in Tbilisi, you have been here 2 times 🧀🍷On the summer porch and inside. Atmospheric to the point of goosebumps, we tried wines, different types of khachapuri, ajapsandal, everything is at the best level. When we were sitting on the summer veranda late in the evening, the owner of the establishment came up and invited us inside for a tour, the mansion building, aesthetically beautiful interior.

The restaurant is located in a very beautiful place, near Zemo Betlemi and overlooking a beautiful street, there are tables both inside and outside. The problems started when they brought us "tapaka chicken" 1. It was without spices at all 2. It was godlessly overcooked 3. It was divided into small fractions, it was clear that they were fried separately (pieces of completely different roasting, what a pity that I did not photograph this masterpiece of culinary art). When I paid and expressed my opinion about the inedible dish, the hostess went somewhere and told me to wait, then she returned and said that the dish was cooked without violations. Then the owner came and also began to prove that spices are not added to tobacco chicken, but it is overcooked because he (the owner) loves it that way. I must say that the chicken was overcooked to a very very thick brown crust. For some reason, the owners refused the offer to try the chicken. No apologies, nothing. In general, the chicken remained in the ashtray, where it belongs, and the owners with the proceeds and a sense of rightness. And they ruined our evening. I do not recommend the establishment

It's very tasty here! This is the best place in Tbilisi, incredible dishes of national cuisine are made according to the highest standard. I recommend chkmeruli, I took it from many places, here are the best, as well as mushroom soup is the BEST in my life. And the hostess of this wonderful institution gave us a tour and told us the story of this old room, in which the masonry has been preserved since the 17th century.

An incredibly warm place, with a wonderful history. Cozy atmosphere, tactful and courteous staff. It's strange for me to call people who welcome you as a guest, to call them staff. But it feels exactly like visiting friendly, educated and intelligent people. And you just enjoy the delicious national cuisine and atmosphere.

On October 14th, my husband and I came to this restaurant to celebrate his anniversary. We were very satisfied, as the atmosphere of this wonderful place surrounded us with cordiality and comfort. The food was delicious, the wine was incomparable, and the warm welcome of the hostess and her family did not leave us indifferent. The hostess gave us a short tour about the history of this house and her family. At the end of a wonderful evening, the restaurant congratulated my husband with a cake with a candle. I recommend everyone to visit this restaurant and take a break from the hustle and bustle. We decided for ourselves that we will definitely visit this place again when we are in Georgia.

It was September 4th.
Russian Russian The first thing that came to mind was not a friendly waitress who does not know Russian, ok we speak English, we sit down near Windows, then we will continue in Russian. They wanted to go to the toilet, but he was alone, and there was a queue. After staying for 10 minutes, I decided that it was probably better to find another place, more friendly and with more restrooms. It wasn't far to go.
For open unfriendliness and ignorance of Russian, get a well-deserved ball! Sincerely yours!
upd to the response of the administration, yes, yes, we took into account your feedback, you are an independent state, yes, thank you, we will move on.

God, this is an incredible place! 🤩 My score is 10 out of 5! It's so good there, you can't imagine! This place is a must-visit! This is such an island of comfort in big Tbilisi. I was traveling alone, so when I was homesick for my family, I came to this place, and it was the only right decision) there's such an atmosphere that the blues are gone)) An amazing host who treated the guests like good friends. Usually, when you're alone, you don't get enough attention, but everything was different here, it was like I was in my parents' house, it was very warm. Thank you for this feeling! Then the kitchen - khachapuri was one of the best for me, homemade wine also came easily and naturally))) Well, the interior is an aesthetic orgasm, no less!! As we wrote earlier, attention to detail in this cafe is at the highest level, I think this is a paradise for an aesthete. In general, I would like to express my great gratitude to the hosts for creating such a unique place, for the warm welcome, warmth and attention to each guest. I sincerely wish you prosperity.

It's a very pleasant place at home. The owner said that this was the apartment in which he and his family had lived since childhood, the furniture was the same: grandmother's table, mirror, photographs, grandmother's recipe for khinkali.

The place is very atmospheric, calm and authentic. The kitchen is also wonderful! Khinkali, chekmeruli and vegetable salads were especially popular. Of course, everything should be washed down with homemade wine. And listen carefully to the hostess's story about the appearance of this wonderful place. Thank you, Nana!

Today our dream came true and we visited this family restaurant! It's a pity that you can't put a mark of 10 points. I found this restaurant by chance on the Internet and the most annoying thing is that we went to Georgia for two years in a row and I didn't know anything about it.
And here we are again in Georgia, in Tbilisi, and we purposefully went there! A very cozy family restaurant, where everything is with love and soul! The interior is chic and even resembles a museum in some ways. The owners, while the food is being prepared, walk through it and tell the story of the creation of this institution! It is very interesting and informative. According to the food, everything is very tasty! We didn't have to wait long for the submission time either. And the presentation itself is very original! I definitely recommend this place! We will come here more than once! You guys are having a great time!!!
