One of the best Georgian cuisine we tried through our trip in Georgia! The waiter gave us really good advice on what we should try and he was totally right! You must try their version of eggplants with nuts’ souce - yummy! The rest of the order also was delicious and we were so full and sad that couldn’t try more 💔 Also just to make my mood even brighter the staff member gave me complimentary glass of red wine 🍷 can’t wait to be back!
Loooove this restaurant! The service and food are awesome. Located in the heart of Batumi like the name. My personal recommendations are signature baked eggplant and lobio.
This is a special place. We were in Batumi for 12 days, visited a lot of restaurants, a lot of good ones. But this one exceeded all expectations.
The place is great - old Batumi.
The interior is designed in Georgian style, but not pretentious, very pleasant. There is no loud music, it is cozy and comfortable.
The kitchen is just great. I'm already fed up with Georgian food, but everything here is so delicious that it's impossible to resist. Separately about the service. In Batumi restaurants, the service is very unobtrusive - no one is in a hurry, they forget the details of the order, waiting a long time is the norm. But all this is not about the Heart of Batumi. Friendly, attentive, professional guys work here. In short, if you need a cozy and beautiful place, delicious food, excellent service - it's here.
The restaurant was recommended by friends who live here.
It's great that we came to it too. We returned 2 times))
Cuisine, service-like friends-delicious, varied, sincere.
Meat is perfectly cooked!
Georgian salad with walnuts is the most delicious in Georgia (we order it always and everywhere in Georgia).
Baked eggplant is love.
It's a wonderful place. Of all the establishments that we visited in Georgia, this is the top for my husband and me: interior, atmosphere, staff work, dishes. Thanks from tourists from Belarus to the whole team who worked on 09/24/24 A very pleasant impression. Special thanks to Nona for her help in choosing dishes and recommendations. All the dishes are very tasty. I definitely recommend you to visit
It's an amazing place.
We came back here again. The dishes are all delicious without exception. The staff is friendly and you can safely trust their recommendations.
I recommend trying baked eggplant - it's something with something.
I would like to thank the Elite separately. And thanks to the whole team of employees) we will come back and recommend it) this is really Georgian hospitality)
Every time we visit Batumi, we definitely visit this cafe ,everything is at the highest level as always. Branded eggplant is a delight as always , ojahuri is very tasty .The staff is polite, attentive, the guys keep the brand.
A pleasant atmosphere, cool, served quickly and politely, and most importantly, everything is very tasty that they could not eat, wrapped with them in a container. 3 hot dishes, salad, 2 glasses of wine and tea came out in 100 GEL. Tea is not included in the receipt, we left it ourselves.
We had dinner here today)
We took a summer salad, dolma, two chicken soups and pita bread. It came out to 61 lari, 0% collection, 5 lari were left for tea.
Everything was very tasty and the portions were large, the waiter was very attentive, spoke Russian, the dishes were brought quickly)
Two families with a bunch of children came with us at the same time)) there was a hubbub, a fuss, but the staff quickly and clearly sorted everything out, everyone was seated, although at first I thought that these two groups would fight for the tables 😂
In general, like, we will come again
Update: we wanted something fried late in the evening) went to the poppy, were blown away by the prices, decided: it would be better then in the heart of Batumi) and did not lose!) We ordered Georgian kebab and lamb kebab, French fries and soda. Everything turned out to be 50 (slightly less than in the poppy), and the pleasure is 100%!) this restaurant is definitely love
The first person who informed us about this place was a taxi driver who took us to a hotel located in the Old Town. "Be sure to go there, it's the best restaurant in the area, but I warn you, there's a queue at the entrance from lunch until closing." After reading the reviews and making sure that batono George is not a liar, we went to lunch. It is not difficult to find the Heart of Tbilisi - all paths lead to it. There was no queue in September (the velvet season). We were safely imprisoned. Now for independent observations. Yes! the waiters are polite, smiling, responsive and fluent in Russian. When we hesitated before the first toast, a long, kind and warm toast was given for us professionally. After that, our feast took on the appearance of national gatherings. The music of modern Georgian bands was playing in the hall (not live, from the speaker). The atmosphere is pleasant and homely. But the kitchen is ordinary. I can't say it wasn't delicious. Rather, it was like everywhere else. There is no special feature, highlight, brand difference. When you read rave reviews, you expect something WOW. In short, I got the effect of an inflated expectation. But I recommend the restaurant.
A chic restaurant, very tasty, ordered khinkali, soups, vegetables, baked eggplant, soups and khachapuri. Pleasant atmosphere, polite staff. I will definitely come again if I am in Batumi.
Everything is delicious, fast serving.
It is very cozy and pleasant inside.
The waiter's job is top. He clarified whether we had tried the ordered dishes before and told us in detail about each one!
It is located in the center of the old town.
We went to dinner and returned the next day for lunch! Excellent service and amazing cuisine! You can safely trust the recommendations of the staff. I recommend veal chalardji and baked eggplant with nut sauce! And also peach chacha, you don't get sick at all after)
Very, very tasty! We chose a cafe based on reviews, we were not mistaken..We came here 3 times ..always fast food delivery, courteous service..Well, the dishes themselves deserve only praise..We took new dishes every time..All the national dishes are just perfect..Thank you very much to all the staff!
Indeed, this is the best restaurant in Batumi, everything is very tasty, relatively inexpensive, a trilingual menu, efficient waiters, quick serving of dishes, a change of tablecloth, after each visitor. No wonder, during rush hours, especially in the evening, you need to stand in line to get here, but it's worth it. I rarely put an A, but the "Heart of Batumi" deserves it.
Minuses:
1. The atmosphere inside is not Georgian - the locals do not eat here,
2. Portions are small,
3. Satsivi is not tasty,
4. The staff is not as hospitable as possible,
5. I have never tasted such a delicious wine anywhere in Batumi,
6. Prices are above average,
Positive:
1. Clean
It feels like in 2003 in a cafe in the post-Soviet space.
More than 600 reviews for five points - never believe the reviews😉
A wonderful cafe, we visited several times and were always satisfied! Wonderful service, delicious cuisine, Georgian music playing! Even if everything is busy, you can wait a little and you will definitely be offered a table!
A wonderful small home-cooked restaurant! Everything is very tasty, fast and at an average price! It is worth visiting if you want to eat a hearty and high-quality meal
It 's a very atmospheric place , very tasty. Well done, prosperity to your restaurant. Your approach is very encouraging . 5+ . The staff is excellent. The cuisine is fast and delicious
Insanely delicious! A wonderful restaurant, everything is delicious, polite and friendly waiters, delicious lemonades, wonderful atmosphere. They will tell you everything. I highly recommend it!!!
The food is average. Khachapuri has Adjarian cheese with sourness, the dough is unusual, like a pastry, but there is a lot of cheese. Trout with Asian vegetable salad is half a fish with fried zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and feta cheese. Ojahuri is a mystery, the meat was boiled separately (dry), the potatoes were stewed separately and then it was dumped into one bowl, fresh onions and fresh bell peppers were added. It doesn't taste good at all. Homemade wine is also so-so. The waiters are friendly. We were at about 10 in the evening, there was no queue. A large space, not cozy, it feels more like a dining room.
In many ratings, the institution was called top, of course, we decided to visit it.
The first time we didn't get there, there was no place, but the second time we were still able to appreciate this cafe.
In short, the prices are reasonable, the service is pleasant, but in terms of taste, my husband and I turned out to have polar points of view: my husband is delighted, I did not get away from the word at all!
I will not recommend it, but I will also dissuade!
p. my husband ordered veal, borscht and khachapuri on the grill, I tasted chicken lula, salad (with nut sauce in my opinion) and fried suluguni.
Have a wonderful holiday for everyone!
A cozy cafe. friendly staff. very tasty dishes. even our fastidious child ate with pleasure! We didn't regret coming here when we were walking around Batumi. On other days, people came here for special dinners.
This is the best restaurant for all 7 days of rest in Batumi. Cozy, cool, nice halls, interiors. The dishes are gigantic, you will not leave hungry. Homemade wine is a mystery: it didn't seem very good from the first sips, but when the food arrived, I ordered another glass with wine)) everything that we ate twice in this place is fragrant, delicious, amazing. Khachapuri on a spit is obligatory with red wine! Thanks to the creators of the institution, all the best to you!
The place is nice and atmospheric. The child needed the first, non-spicy soup, as well as gluten-free. The waiter clarified everything with the cook, the cook personally came and explained that there were noodles in the chicken soup, got out of the situation and made soup without noodles. It is very nice that the staff is attentive. We ate khachapuri, it's wonderful, the dough melts in your mouth. I recommend the place.
Tasteless Kharcho - red water with rice and meat. The worst kharcho of dozens tasted in different places of Georgia. Good service. Everything is fast and clear. Great location. It's quite cozy inside. The kitchen spoils everything.
We managed to sit down at a table on the street without queuing, but the feeling is that there are always places occupied. The staff was very pleasant, the food was quickly prepared and brought. We ordered ojahuri, eggplant rolls for two and did not finish it very satisfying. And delicious. They took it with them. Homemade wine by the glass is pleasant, soft. Prices are the same as everywhere in the center. And around it there are atmospheric - beautiful buildings, well-groomed facades, cobbled streets. I recommend a visit.
Among all the establishments where we ate for all 9 days, it seemed the most delicious. Of course, there are flaws, but these are small things.
Very tasty kebab, ojahuri, lemonades. The atmosphere is high. Thanks
It's a great place, I've been here 2 times. The interior is without a defiant design, but everything is clean, neat and beautiful, there are tables outside. There is pleasant and soft music in the room. The food is great: I took khachapuri in Adjarian both times - great (there is something to compare it with). Very tasty homemade wine. The staff is very polite and hospitable.
I really liked it, we visited several times last week! Everything is delicious. The waiters are very attentive. You can sit outside or in one of the halls. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Thank you for the reception!
I've been here three times in two days! I really liked the food and the atmosphere. There are two halls, one of them is two-storied. I definitely recommend you to visit. I really liked khachapuri, meat and eggplant rolls
This is the best place in Batumi. We have been in Georgia for the third year in a row, but we have not eaten tastier food. Great place, very nice waiters and quality food at reasonable prices. A cozy place with unobtrusive music. There's always a queue, so it's better to book in advance. The name is right there, the best place in this city. 🫶
Hello!
Cafe in Batumi with borscht and Russian-speaking staff! The guys did not have Khinkali at the time of my visit. This is important.
Everything is fine with you! Thanks!
A tiny place , without a restaurant gloss , but with amazingly delicious food in the heart of Batumi 😁🫶
I was very pleased with the staff: I looked in as a guest
- There was not a waiter in front of me, but a friendly host, ready to give recommendations on preferences with a smile and stop when the amount ordered exceeded the opportunity to eat it)
The portions are huge and very tasty!
There is not much space in the establishment and a limited number of tables, so I would recommend throwing the table in advance, I came hungry and without reservation, so I got a tiny table, but my waiter very deftly delivered and cleaned the dishes, so that there was no discomfort!
I will be happy to advise you! Mentally - that 's your definition ! Thanks again!
I recommend everyone to visit this institution!
I was passing through, traveling from Turkey to Russia via Georgia.
While walking through the beautiful city of Batumi, I looked into this place for a snack.
That's what I want to say:
Firstly, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Secondly, very tasty food and a wide selection
In the third, fast feed
Fourth, cleanliness
I will definitely visit this institution every time I visit the city of Batumi!
The best restaurant in Batumi, we were served by Natalia, a wonderful and professional waiter. Everything was very tasty, we came several times during the rest. I recommend it to everyone
The place is cool, the menu is balanced for adults and children. We went all around - the prices are no higher than the rest. I can't say anything about the quality of the food - by the time we got here, the child had fallen asleep in the stroller and they didn't wake him up. But by the look of the food sitting there and the interior, I can say that it looks appetizing, and the smell in the establishment is pleasant.
It is located in the old town. A cozy place with a good blacksmith shop. The prices are average. There are a lot of people.(if there are no people on the screen, it means that it is bad and the rating is screwed up) Corresponds to the rating on Yandex. Clean, the staff speaks Russian. This is the only restaurant where tips are not included in the bill.
If you have been to Batumi and have not visited the "Heart of Batumi", you have not been to Batumi!!!
An enchanting restaurant with excellent staff, food and atmosphere in the center of the old city.
I visited the restaurant right after the new year 01.01.24. (Happy New Year friends)
The waiter was quick in his work and was always ready to help with orders and recommendations (thanks to Anatoly).
His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he immediately responded to our needs (Don't forget to thank these people, especially those who work during the holidays)
The quality of the food in the restaurant was excellent. The dishes were fresh, the chefs obviously had a lot of experience and used only the best products. Each dish was prepared with care and presented on plates with taste. We ordered several different dishes.
The main secret of the restaurant is in the magnificent sauce, which is prepared from 16 ingredients (We took baked eggplant with a special sauce, there is in the photo), which Anatoly recommended to us and we did not drive away in the choice.
There was a wonderful serving of borscht , thick, rich , served with bacon, garlic, sour cream and bread. Just love, for those who miss the first courses.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant and cozy. The music was quiet and the lighting was gentle, creating a relaxing environment. The waiters were polite and unobtrusive, which added comfort to our experience.
The prices are not high, relative to the quality and relative to other restaurants that we went to.
We were very satisfied, which we recommend to you.
We were here twice when we walked around Batumi. I want to come back. Excellent level of service, clean, tasty, very cozy!!! It is located in a quiet and lovely area of the old town. Thank you very much! We will be back in Batumi and we will definitely come to you again!
A decent restaurant with national cuisine, the price tag is average, there is a lounge for a large company. Everything was very tasty, the dishes were served quickly.
Incredibly tasty, excellent food service, polite staff, sunny, warm atmosphere. The kebab is juicy, fragrant, khachapuri is cooked on a skewer, everything is very fast, high quality! I recommend it 100%! I sincerely thank you for your hospitality! Not far from the center, everything is within walking distance.
This place made me believe in decent establishments again. It is a very cozy, atmospheric and pleasant place. The staff is wonderful, everyone is polite and knows their business. Very fast and prompt service. The food is very tasty and inexpensive. We'll definitely be back.
It's a great place. Delicious food, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. It is very popular - a couple of times it was not possible to have dinner due to lack of seats
A great place for the whole family! even when there are no empty seats, the administrator is looking for a suitable option, and tells the waiting time for the table, they maintain an unobtrusive conversation with you, it disposes you to wait, you feel caring) the waiters, well, the guys even by the end of the day, are very energetic and obviously try, smile with a sincere smile, sometimes joke and most importantly speak Russian very coolly (this is a rarity considering the young age) and so the service is a 5 plus
Food: very tasty, the portion size is average, more European, I would say (yes, a little un-Georgian) salads +- everything is fine, meat kebabs kebab, surprisingly very good! As a rule, in Georgia, shish kebab is dry meat, but here it is very juicy! I really liked the homemade wine, just 10 out of 10! The food rating is a strong 5!
Prices: acceptable, I can not say that it is expensive, +- average check as everywhere in Batumi
p.s. and if I'm not mistaken, they do not have a mandatory service fee! You decide for yourself whether to leave a tip!
Delicious, satisfying, cozy. The waiters are friendly, the service is fast, despite the full boarding. The menu is small, but everything is very tasty.
A wonderful place! Reviews do not lie), from polite and friendly staff to delicious cuisine and quick delivery. I definitely recommend it. I liked the far cozy hall. A great place for dinner!
