I strongly advise against visiting this establishment.
Our group of three experienced an unpleasant dining experience, waiting 40 minutes for khinkali with hard, thick, and cold dough containing raw red minced meat. The staff's response was confrontational, insisting the dough was warm and edible. No apologies were offered, and we were charged for a glass of wine.
It's advisable to steer clear of this place.

This is a good place where you can have a delicious meal, the dishes are different, the portions are large, I liked everything I ordered. It is especially worth noting the view of the square , the location is excellent, especially from the cans on the second floor, I recommend it to everyone!

We have been here 4 times. What can I say.. Great view, Adjarian khachapuri and delicious French fries.
Khinkali is very salty, it was taken 2 times, but no.. Too much salt again. Chicken kebab is not made from whole pieces of breast, but as if from pieces of thighs, The pieces are small, toasted. And the main disadvantage, after which we don't set foot here anymore. We were served by a very pleasant, talkative young man David, arranged the children right away, they ran around and helped him bring the cutlery and dishes. As a result, I brought a bill for 91 GEL. One would think that we had gained a lot and did not notice how such a sum had accumulated, but no.. Each time we took everything about the same for 55-60 GEL, and here for the same dishes 91!! My husband did not take it apart, he paid, but the feeling is disgusting! A family with young children sees, they have found someone to cheat!

I was in this place 5 years ago. It was good. The prices are low, the service is pleasant, very tasty, the portions are large. We came here recently. Everything has changed. There is no customer orientation, it is very noisy. They left, they didn't eat.

The service here is so-so. No one helps with the choice of dishes, they just give the menu and leave. You need to come here knowing exactly what you want, a tourist who is in Georgia for the first time will definitely not be able to navigate independently in choosing a dish and will most likely be disappointed, since the staff is clearly not interested in this. It is always crowded here, which is probably why the staff does not waste time on familiarization and basic attention to the guest. The location is good, but there is no service.

In this place, you will wait a very long time for the menu, then when you wait for the order to be accepted, then when it is brought. The only moment that passes quickly is when you eat your meals, because you have been waiting for them for three days. Khinkali is delicious. One star for the view, the second for the Khinkali. And one more thing. 15% of the cost is added to all dishes, as a compliment, apparently to the chef

Приятное место. Всегда ходим именно сюда. Всем советуем и приводим сюда знакомых и друзей.
Очень вкусно и приятно по ценам.
По вечерам напротив ресторана живая музыка, отличное дополнение.
В выходные по вечерам может не быть мест. Недавно открыли для себя веранду на 2 этаже.
Иногда долго несут меню, но это в Грузии нормально. Можно самостоятельно попросить официанта принести меню, в этом ничего такого нет.

terrible food, no customer orientation, the waiter throws everything at you like a dog. they did not warn that there were no ingredients for the salad and cooked without them, as a result, when asked where what was stated on the menu, they said that it was over. the wait is terribly long, they asked for the bill several times, as a result, the waiter just walked past us for a very long time, then sat down to eat. I had to go to him myself to ask for the bill again. It is also indicated in the menu that 15% of tips are included in the price list, which means that they are already included in the price of dishes, but no, they will take advantage of it later. There can be no question of tips for such terrible service

In 19, it was delicious and the prices were normal. In the 24th year, at the end of September, 15% percent for the service and they also said that there was no service in the bill and the waiters needed to be additionally thanked. The food seems to be fine , but it used to be better. Lemonade is like water and it was brought already open , and it wasn't opened in front of me.

Terrible service, the waiter does not contact, brings the menu and runs away, they carry food for a very long time, the Khinkali bring cold ones, our remark was answered by "THEY are NOT COLD ", the administrator was called, who confirmed that they had already been aired. We 're not going back . There was also a quarrel in the hall between a customer and a waiter , they were shouting very loudly . I don't understand where the management is looking

The food is delicious, khinkali is probably the most delicious that I have tasted in Tbilisi, musicians play outside in the evenings, especially on weekends.

I didn't like it. The usual cucumber-tomato salad was brought with a wild amount of pepper, neither I nor the child could eat. It was the first time I faced such a problem in Georgia. Meat is also too small, it is not suitable for children.

Poor long-term maintenance
The waiters are prostrated
They communicate rudely and incomprehensibly
The only plus is the location and the veranda overlooking the city and the fact that they speak Russian, but I think it's not difficult to explain in English about the dishes without it.
Khinkali is delicious, the cook is well done

They asked the waiter to clear the table, they were kicked out and sent to three letters, they went outside it turns out that we are not alone, we also kicked out a couple if you want a bad mood, come there, the attitude towards tourists is disgusting for 20 hinkals and 4 beers we took 130 GEL

We sat down on outdoor tables and this is the most important plus! Musicians (not from this institution) are constantly playing on the benches below and creating an atmosphere! The prices are average (not overpriced) and the food is very tasty! They serve quickly and there is no negativity!

We got here when it was raining, so almost all the tables were occupied. It is best to get to the veranda of the 2nd floor, you can go to the 1st, we were on the 0 floor. We were prepared for the fact that hot dishes would have to wait a long time, so we did not feel irritated. Rum and wine were brought in 10 minutes, phali (mkhali) and eggplant with nuts in 15 minutes, and the kebab was waited for a little more than an hour. We liked the food and service, but we were not particularly enthusiastic.
A large company was sitting next to them, they were refused to issue separate checks, which, I think, is wrong. In other countries, there are no problems with issuing multiple checks.

Terrible service!
The pitch is very long!
There was something not edible in khinkali! They took the plate! Delete it from the account! And they never brought me a clean plate! And the shape of the khinkali is also not similar to the khinkali!

I have been living in Georgia for 6 years, my husband is Georgian. We were very hungry, we went to have a snack on shish kebab and khinkali (a friend came to visit). The meat was very tough, but they were hungry, they ate it) I had to order the sauce, because it was not tasty at all. Then they brought us a bill for 50 GEL) it was a pity to pay for all this, well, the service was also included. When we lived in Tbilisi, we always went here, and often came when we were passing through, now it is unlikely. The receptionist said that no one but us had any problems, they didn't have a book to leave a comment on either. Almost broke my teeth about this meat) now, in general, I do not recommend the place anymore

Бюджетное место. Есть завтраки, вкусные лимонады, неплохая ачма. На втором этаже хорошая веранда большая.
Сервис средний, блюда посредственные, но вино на удивление хорошее, даже за 3-5 лари бокал.
Отличное место, то попить воды и перекусить что-то по-быстрому.

Еда вкусная, брали хинкали, кебаб, хачапури Имеретинский, аджапсандали. Всё понравилось. Нам попался хороший официант, но когда зашли попались пара недружелюбных официантов. Красивый вид на город с террасы.

Хороший ресторан с демократичными ценами. Меню разнообразное и вкусное) вечером, после 22:00 примерно, поют грузинские песни на улице)) в Грузии в ресторанах налог всегда + 15-20% сверху счета, это такая особенность, не понимаю предыдущих отзывов. Ресторан однозначно Рекомендую!

There is a lot of oil and salt in the omelet, it is not tasty, they forgot about tea, you still pay 15% for such service. the chicken kebab and flatbread with cheese were delicious, but I'm unlikely to ever come back here.

The locals recommended this place to us. They didn't regret a bit. It's really delicious, annoying only yard dogs, which no one chases here. If you have chosen a table on the veranda, get ready, they lie down at their feet, they are not allowed inside)

Атмосферное место. Пятерка за певьцов, которые сильно украсили вечер, хотя к ресторану отношения не имеют. Хинкали вкусные, вино гранатовое тоже. Остальное не пробовали

Очень вкусно, хороший сервис, хинкали божественные, попросили при возможности посадить за столик на террасе, когда столик появился, нас пересадили. Цены хорошие. Вижу в комментариях у кого-то был тут негативный опыт, очень жаль, но место классное, идите обязательно.

Khinkali waited 40 minutes. Lemonade is served at 0.33, neighbors 0.5.
Khinkali itself is very weak - small, broth minimum.
The waiter did not indulge in attention at all, but did not forget to take offense at the lack of tips, although why would they leave them in this case ...
There were a lot of places in Tbilisi. I frankly did not like this restaurant.

At the sight of nationality, they said that the order should be waited for 1.5 hours (with a half-empty hall). When asked to bring coffee (latte or cappuccino), they replied that there was nothing available at all. We won't come back for anything.

Сегодня были в данном заведении, неплохая обстановка и локация но обслуживание могу только только 1 здездочку, даже это много. Принесли менью неохотно, сидели 30 минут и махали официантке, но она не обращала внимание, учитывая что она была свободна…

Ставлю 4 балла только за низкую цену и работу 24/7. Это абсолютно туристическое место с посредственной едой и не очень хорошим сервисом. Не берите пюре с котлетой, это не вкусно.

Меню приходится брать самостоятельно. Подходить к официантам, чтобы приняли заказ тоже приходится самим. Заказываешь, кушаешь, просишь счет. Его приносят конечно же более охотно. Быстро подсовывают кассовый аппарат с чеком, ты оплачиваешь не думая, и у тебя все это быстро забирают. При оплате картой накидывают сверху счета еще пару лари, делаешь вид, что не замечаешь, пару лари ведь, пусть останутся на чай. А потом понимаешь, что и в счете была сумма больше чем стоили те блюда, которые ты заказал. Молодцы, заработали на честный отзыв

Ужасно! Обслуживание с кривым лицом , махали руками , чтобы нас заметили и принесли меню . В итоге того нет , этого нет , заказ ждать 50 мин . Ладно, остались . Заказали хинкали 5 шт и салат с курицей, вино, бокал пива . Чек вышел на 38.45 .
Салат очень маленькая порция (куриная грудка в майонезе и иногда виднелся огурец) . Мясо в хинкалях одни жилы.
В общем , остались крайне недовольны . Не рекомендую данное заведение, от слова совсем .
На втором этаже туристы ходят на балкон сделать фото, если будете сидеть в середине ресторана ( как мы) то как в забегаловке .
