What diners are saying
Celebrated for its authentic Georgian cuisine, diners rave about the fresh, made-to-order khinkali (especially lamb and beef/pork) and the nostalgic, village-style adjabsandali. Guests highlight the phenomenal soup kharsho and affordable khachapuri, noting that the food offers a genuine taste of Georgia. While some reviewers praise the delicious almond cookies and special breads, others note that service can be slow and the space warm, though the 50% off deal after 9 PM is a major draw for value-seekers.
