Great cafe! We had a rest in Gagra in September 2024. We chose Ruslan cafe for our meals. Excellent cuisine, friendly atmosphere. Decent portions. Wonderful waitress girls
We are having a rest at the Ruslan hotel.
Let's start with the hotel:
Overall a good hotel, we have a view of the sea, it's a bomb.
You wake up in the morning and just looking out the window you get a huge portion of positive emotions!
We turn to the minor disadvantages of this bed and the mattress, the bed creaks a lot, the mattress is also bedsore.Wi-Fi normally takes both on the beach and in the cafe, about the cafe later.There were water outages, but not for long.
On the downsides, that's all, the administrators are responsive on the first request, they help with the issues of vacationers WELL DONE.
Now we turn to the cafe at the hotel:
Guys, the cafe is a bomb.The dishes are huge.
The best kebab in Gagra (juicy, fresh, just melts in your mouth) The kebab maker is handsome,respect and respect the master in his place!!!It also starts good music, there is a fountain at the cafe that turns on very beautifully from time to time.
Special thanks to the cook Nana, at the request I made a dish that is not on the menu and did it perfectly!!!
Thank you very much to Nana!!!
We would also like to mention the official Lana, who is a master of his craft.He listens attentively and clarifies the points on the menu.Gives good recommendations on dishes and responds promptly to customers.Thank you so much for loving your work and respecting your customers.
WE RECOMMEND RUSLAN CAFE TO ALL GUESTS AND THOSE WHO WANT TO HAVE A DELICIOUS AND SATISFYING MEAL!!!
In general, there is a solid 4 about the hotel.
Cafe rating 10 out of 5 WELL DONE!!!
Recommendation and wish add Carrot salad, Boiled potatoes with butter and herbs and mashed potatoes with cutlets or something similar to the menu, there will be no end from the guests of the city.Russian people are also needed for vacationers.
We lived in the Ruslan hotel, the cafe is not bad, some respect for the barbecue of this cafe, the barbecue is always on top, tender and juicy, the liver on the grill was pleasantly surprised, homemade lemonade is refreshing.
This is not the first time we have been vacationing in Gagra as a family! We were in different establishments and were often disappointed with the usual dishes😳 in the Ruslan cafe everything is delicious from breakfasts to shish kebab 😍 shawarma, lagman, shish kebab, pasta, salads - everything is perfect 🙏 the cook is a wonderful woman 😍 from our family, who loves to eat delicious food - many thanks 😘
Delicious kebabs, pleasant waitresses, cozy tables, a beautiful fountain. The price tag is higher than the average in Abkhazia, but the establishment is worth it in general.
A wonderful place) sincere staff) incredibly delicious, huge dishes at very, very reasonable prices) many thanks to the friendly waiter Maria))) I advise everyone to visit this institution) of the minuses, payment is either in cash or by transfer, another of the advantages is direct access to the beach))
Good evening.
Many years later, we had a vacation in Abkhazia this year in mid-February.
We stayed at this hotel for the first time. To say that the hotel is tired is not to say anything. We took a room with a sea view. Perhaps this is the only thing that could cheer you up. It's very cold in the room, the walls are cracked, the paint is peeling, the floor is sooo cold (without slippers is not an option), it's even colder in the shower than on the balcony))). The furniture is old (creaks). Please note, before you check in, check everything for durability), because the price tags for damage to property (which are already barely breathing) are impressive.
What's great: the staff, the girls are very responsive, they helped us in all matters. The price at this time of year is also ridiculous. For a room with a sea view (2000 rubles for three people)
To go to it, only because of the first coastline and the view of the sea.
We rested in June 2023, visited this cafe at the beginning and at the end of the trip, as a result: we recommend barbecue and kebab, the barbecue is good, but the waitresses are just not suitable for this job, not only that, like sleepy flies both day and evening, they do not know the assortment of what is cooked, drinks are not offered fresh (beer)although they were asked, they forget what they were ordered on the go. I don't want to go to Ruslan at all...
In general, the price-quality ratio is acceptable. We faced a water and electricity outage for almost the whole day, this problem was all over the city, but for some reason the hotel administration pretended that it was not aware of the situation and this was the first time. There were questions about cleaning, which they decided not to do in the last days of our stay, and about using additional services such as laundry. Having given 3 things to wash, I did not expect that I would be asked for 900 rubles😄
One wash, by the way, costs 300 rubles. Well, the administrator decided to make 3 downloads, well, what's the big deal here
In general, the hotel is no frills, but quite passable, located on the shore, with a view of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. There is a restaurant at the hotel (we did not like it), But it is worth working with the attitude towards tourists, of course.
The sea is nearby , the rooms are clean and cleaned whenever required. There is a good cafe on site, although the prices are too high. In general , everything was fine .
The hotel is nice, clean, the staff is pleasant, you can ask for any question. The room has a TV, air conditioning, shower, toilet. I'm shooting a star for breakfast, it's not possible to eat
I was there with my family, we got there by accident. We went to the smell)). The kebab turned out to be indescribable in taste. Bravo to the barbecue! The cook in the restaurant also did a great job with all the dishes! Everyone was satisfied. If possible, we will return, and of course I recommend it to everyone!
One day we decided to have dinner here and regretted it. It is expensive, not very tasty, the waiters are not professional, and after the calculation, they did not return the full change, with the phrase (we no longer have money for change). The next day, the stomach was upset and, after itself, upset the intestines
They cook normally, everyone ate everything they ordered! The prices are not cheap! The cheapest salad is 300 rubles (tomatoes with cucumbers) , there are no more dishes cheaper than 450-500 rubles (except porridge and scrambled eggs , they are 250-300 too ! Across the street, the dining room there is 2-2.5 times cheaper, only the service is worse!
Good evening. We had a rest in May 2023, a polite and attentive waiter, pleasant music, a fountain with lighting. We ordered a "barbecue", but it was just not cooked meat - not pickled at all, onions are also not pickled. One star for the waiter!!!
It's a terrible place.
The service was long and unpleasant, the waiter did everything as if she was being forced. The territory is not as cozy as possible, yard dogs run around the tables and music screams very loudly. I was struck by the fact that all the doors to the kitchen are open (the cafe is located right next to the road), the chefs cook without gloves, while cooking one of the chefs used the phone. The food is so-so, the kebab is dry, I don't say anything about khachapuri at all (in the understanding of the local chef, khachapuri is a huge thick cake made of dough, in which 20 grams of cheese are at most). When they asked to pack the food with them, the waiter just brought two bags and told them to fold themselves. The receipt automatically includes 10% for the service, without even informing you about it.
Plus to all of the above, they were severely poisoned here
Conclusion: I advise you to avoid this place
The music is too loud. There is no food, the salads are tasteless, the pizza is overcooked (it was straight black), I am generally silent about the service. As a result, everyone was poisoned, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever the next day.
We went to a cafe to eat. The waitresses are rude, there are a lot of people, one waitress, waited half an hour until they came to us to take an order, as a result, half of the menu was not ordered. There wasn't even any beer. It's a pity for the time spent
The rooms are clean, the food is usually, too usually. Sunbeds on the beach are paid even for hotel guests, there is a horizontal breakwater in the sea, it prevents swimming very much, you are constantly afraid of hitting it and injuring yourself.
I give 5 stars only for the cleanliness of the rooms and the attitude of the staff, all the girls are polite and friendly.
The coolest hotel in Gagra, the view of the sea from the balcony is fascinating, you can sleep under the sound of the surf, delicious food and very close to all the sights of the city. I will definitely come again! Very responsive administrators. Thanks
Poisoned!!!! The three of us ordered meat in Abkhazian style. There was also salad and khachapuri, but they ate it separately. There is nothing more to sin against. We raced to the toilet all night. All signs of poisoning.. Vomiting, diarrhea, chills, weakness. The price tag is not weak and they gave a lot, but nevertheless.. Draw conclusions! Review of the cafe around the fountain.
I did not like the beach - large sand with stones. It is not realistic to walk with bare feet without avacas. This is not mentioned anywhere in the reviews. Few people write about a concrete breakwater in the water near the shore either. It is impossible to swim in excitement. In general, the impressions are not ice yet.
Excellent barbecue. The kebab and fish were very tasty cooked. Everything was brought quickly, the vegetables and mushrooms on the grill are super. The waiters work quickly and accurately.
Not the best place to eat. We visited it twice, both times we were greeted by waitresses with an expression of "how you got me all" (well, why be friendly, tips are already automatically included in the bill). Their clean appliances look like this (see photo). Price tags are at the level of top cafes in Gagra. The kitchen is generally not bad. On the plus side, it is cool (even at +30) and atmospheric.
Among the advantages:
-a refreshing fountain next to the seats
-beautiful greenery/trees
- delicious lemonade
Of the cons:
-Overpriced prices, one of the most expensive places where I had lunch, which does not correspond to the taste of the dishes
-the cost of the barbecue. If it was delicious, it would be ok. But we have 50g of bones per 300g of over-salted shish kebab for 750rubles.
-sauces of 100₽
We were looking for a place where there is no "live" music and you can have a delicious dinner. "Ruslan" was successfully caught by us on the way. The barbecue is a bomb! Especially with homemade dry wine. Lovely waitresses. Clear. In the evening, the coolness from the fountain. It turned out to be a perfect evening! My opinion is not only mine, but also my mother's.
We wanted to eat, but the waitresses just ignore it....they did not deign to come up and take the order. Two locals came and immediately ran to them...There is no desire to come here anymore.
I really liked the hotel, we had a rest in the summer of 2021. The rooms are large and cozy, clean, excellent food, and most importantly, a beautiful beach and a coin within walking distance!
Nice hotel and wonderful rooms with sea views!
For 3* it is very cool and cheap.
It falls short of 4 * only because of the bathroom.
The furniture is rustic, but the room is decorated beautifully, with taste.
It's not so great with a view of the road: the noise of cars, the smell of smoke from a kebab shop and loud music from a cafe in season may not appeal to everyone.
There is a cheap cafe "Boat" opposite.
The cafe has delicious pastries, boats and milkshakes, in general, everything that was ordered was very tasty, they took with them what they did not eat, they gave containers, although they paid. The service is not super polite, but he was not met anywhere in Gagra. A beautiful fountain and the music is not too loud, you can communicate. In general, we liked it 😊
The hotel is wonderful, but the cafe could have been better ... the territory is pleasing, the interior is pleasant, the prices are average for Gagra, the service is three-fold (there is no loyalty to customers, when asked to fry sausages with egg, they said that the cook cooks only according to the menu, and they are boiled on the menu.. I was also upset by the omelet , which is almost impossible to spoil 🥲 it was not fried inside((
I was pleased with the homemade lemonade))
We were at the Ruslan hotel from July 10 to July 17, 2022,everyone was poisoned and lay with rotovirus all vacation, the dining room is terrible,they feed like dogs with slops,the furniture in the room is kept on snot,everything falls off,the refrigerator stinks of rotten fish,there is no hair dryer and iron in the hotel,the beach with fittings, I hit my foot,I need to swim very carefully, diving is strictly prohibited.I would have returned to this hotel, definitely not!!!I do not recommend it, the price is very high.Room cleaning on the dump.

The location is good, especially we had a room with a view of the beach. Breakfast didn't suit me personally at all.
We went to a cafe to have a snack.The children were ordered Caesar pizza.They probably don 't know the classic recipe . Pizza was brought, drizzled with balsamic sauce.They asked to invite a cook, first a young one came, who could not give a clear answer, an older one came to the rescue and began to load us that we were different nations, hard times, the war was going on, we should respect work and in general we (customers) were to blame for not warning that we needed pizza with white sauce.
Realizing that it was useless to have a conversation, they said goodbye.
Every year we go to our beloved Abkhazia, we have been to many cafes, but Ruslan is the best, beautiful, comfortable, cozy, and the staff would be like that everywhere.
I was in this restaurant / cafe, the portions are normal, the prices are adequate, but the attitude of the waiters leaves much to be desired, every time as if they were doing a favor, transferring by card through the card number, they charged a commission for this, although for a long time everyone has been making a transfer through the SBP by number. Seals walk around the territory, the fountain is cold.
THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS POISONED! My vacation is ruined, I don't know how meat is cooked in this place, I don't advise anyone. We are lying with a fever and all the symptoms of poisoning, the waiters walk with a dissatisfied face, and they also take 10% tips for this. No, and no again, not a foot more.
The child started having gastric bleeding after you and a temperature of 40…

We went to sit in the evening. I really didn't like the service. A brunette girl with a scythe did not see the name on the badge (2 brunette and blonde waiters were on shift)
Communication through reluctance, rudeness, expressed dissatisfaction. It's a disgusting impression.
+ prices are not the most affordable for such service
The place is cozy, one of the most beautiful in Gagra, but there was an unpleasant aftertaste from the bill.
We went for tea, in the menu 1 liter costs 250 rubles + 10% service fee. A total of 275 rubles.
With 500 rubles, they gave 200 rubles in change, that is, the waiter just decided to keep 25 rubles for herself...
The cafe is located around the fountain, good music, gorgeous greenery around.
I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken, the grams were not indicated on the menu. They brought a very large portion, I didn't even expect it! Half of the salad was left because I didn't have the strength to eat anymore! The price corresponds to the quality. The milkshake is very tasty and decorated in an unusual way.
