Our Guestbook
“ Food was good, service also good, but it is too noisy and the building itself is an old soviet period factory and apparently management didn't spent much to reconstruct it, but instead provide this half damaged building as a stylish and modernist atmosphere. Maybe someone likes it, but I am not a fan of such places. In toilet they had old iron basins, even the door to toilet was made of large piece of iron plate not even painted. So, everything talks on the fact that owner spent very little money and want to get most out of it. ”
“ We dined here to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday, and from the moment I stepped inside, I knew we were in for something special. The welcoming aroma that greeted us at the door, the lively crowd eager to enjoy their meals, and the spacious, warm ambiance instantly set the tone for a memorable evening. Every dish we ordered was nothing short of exceptional, each bite bursting with freshness and flavor. What truly surprised me was how beautifully balanced the dishes were. Unlike many traditional Georgian meals I’ve tried, the food here wasn’t overly salty just perfectly seasoned, allowing the natural ingredients to shine through. It was a refreshing and delightful change. Now I completely understand why so many people keep coming here. This place doesn’t just serve food, it creates an experience. Heartfelt thanks to the staff for making our celebration feel extra special. ”
“ We visited this restaurant in April, though I’m only writing this review now. Despite the many differing opinions out there, we had a very positive experience. The food was delicious, the service was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We didn’t have to wait for anything, and the prices and portions left us happy—we even had enough to take leftovers home! Overall, I’d recommend this place for a reliable meal with friendly service and a comfortable setting at a good value. ”
“ Atmosphere is unique and beautiful, for next visit I will bring my camera to take some shots. Descriptions of the dishes on the menu and whole concept of the place is amazing. We were a bit disappointed about stuff, because they were a little bit unorganized and forgetful of things, but I hope this problem will be fixed.

“ Very unusual restaurant! First of all it's interiors in loft style, an industrial building with brick walls and brutal floors and furniture. Secondly, the staff is calm but prompt, and they fulfill the guests' wishes quickly and clearly. In the third clear and varied. menu with unique dishes like "putin khuylo!" I was with a colleague, drank lemonade, ate ice cream with red pepper!!!! and beef stroganoff. The beef stroganoff was fantastic, very tasty with enough coarsely ground black pepper. The sinks near the toilets added exoticism. Where else will you see sinks made of aluminum pots ”
“ Food was delicious! Especially, meat in the Ojakhuri was beyond this world. Well Done! Definitely will come back. ”
“ Good first impression for me. Very unique atmosphere, old-fashioned style. Food was tasty and service was attentive, helped a lot with final order. Place itself is a bit hidden from the main street. ”
“ I loved this place. Atmosphere is perfect, music isn’t loud, but still very pleasant, design is on point. Prices aren’t high, they are very average Georgian prices, sadly. We had Kofte and it was perfection on the plate, sauce was very good. I didn’t really like second dish, just because it was too fatty. I don’t have problem with fat on meat, but slice was very big and first few bites were perfect, but then it was really hard to eat because of so much grease. Meat itself was melting in mouth. Both desserts were very mindful, very demure, very cutesy. I could never imagine, I’d ever eat eggplant with walnut as a dessert, it was very interesting experience. Both drinks were very good. Loved service. Edit: This time I want with bunch of friends and I could taste different things (yaaay). Ajika soup and Chakhokhbili were the best dishes we have tried here. I loved both of them equally and they outshined everything. Potato and cheese “cake” is tasty, at first, we all thought it was Chvishtvari. Ajika set was unique, very great experience, but bread is too fluffy, like cake. Chocolate cake was standard chocolate cake, nothing special. Lemonade was perfect… ”
