A wonderful place that preserves the atmosphere of old Georgia. The food is delicious at home, the best eggplant with nuts that we ate, delicious khinkali, excellent salads. The only thing is to plan more time for a visit, because Uncle Merab will not let you go just like that, and will pour you his homemade wine, which is sooooo delicious. We had 2 groups of guests who specially returned here to be in this homely atmosphere again.

This is an extraordinary place in Tbilisi, the soul of a hospitable city! My husband and I were looking for a place to have dinner, read the reviews and found this restaurant. The atmosphere is very atmospheric, the cordiality of the hosts is felt throughout. The host personally greets each guest, treats them with homemade wine, tells them about the dishes from the menu. The food is extremely tasty, homemade, cooked with a soul. They came just to eat, but parted like good old friends. Uncle Mirab, you're the best!!! When we are in Tbilisi, we will definitely come to this restaurant for dinner. 💗💗💗 I recommend it to everyone!

For those who drink and get there when the owner of the place is there, I think it will be much more pleasant than for us.
The owner, said toasts, treated me to wine.
Honestly, I'm not exaggerating about the food-We waited an hour and a half.Order khinkali and kebab. The other was not appreciated -there was practically nothing on the menu. Khinkali is the most tasteless thing I've eaten. Frozen semi-finished products are tastier in the Russian store. Kebab-overcooked, dried. I won't say it's tasteless, but not wow. Medium quality. Atmosphere… I don't know what the atmosphere in Georgia looks like "at home", but the widespread dirt is uncritical for me, but it must be borne in mind. The toilet was described in the comments…
Two stars only for the owner's uncle, who entertained the guests with toasts and drinks, although for me, as a non-drinker, tired from the road and terribly hungry, it was even somehow "off topic". As for me, it would be better to help a poor woman, apparently his wife, to handle the orders. Someone wrote that it is worth updating the decor, but perhaps the institution will lose its charm, I do not think, since the shabby walls and broken dishes do not create any charm.
The order was not fully completed, after that they wanted to include in the bill what they did not bring.
The price... someone writes that it is good, as for me it is so ordinary… Perhaps a couple of lari per dish is cheaper than somewhere else. But an hour and a half of waiting, a forgotten order, the absence of 80 percent of the menu, dirt and the general tired state of the establishment for me does not justify such savings. It's corny. The menu is worn out, with prices rewritten more than once. It's not that expensive to make a new menu. Hire an additional employee to help in the hall and in the kitchen.
