I strongly advise against visiting this establishment.
Our group of three experienced an unpleasant dining experience, waiting 40 minutes for khinkali with hard, thick, and cold dough containing raw red minced meat. The staff's response was confrontational, insisting the dough was warm and edible. No apologies were offered, and we were charged for a glass of wine.
It's advisable to steer clear of this place.

This is a good place where you can have a delicious meal, the dishes are different, the portions are large, I liked everything I ordered. It is especially worth noting the view of the square , the location is excellent, especially from the cans on the second floor, I recommend it to everyone!

We have been here 4 times. What can I say.. Great view, Adjarian khachapuri and delicious French fries.
Khinkali is very salty, it was taken 2 times, but no.. Too much salt again. Chicken kebab is not made from whole pieces of breast, but as if from pieces of thighs, The pieces are small, toasted. And the main disadvantage, after which we don't set foot here anymore. We were served by a very pleasant, talkative young man David, arranged the children right away, they ran around and helped him bring the cutlery and dishes. As a result, I brought a bill for 91 GEL. One would think that we had gained a lot and did not notice how such a sum had accumulated, but no.. Each time we took everything about the same for 55-60 GEL, and here for the same dishes 91!! My husband did not take it apart, he paid, but the feeling is disgusting! A family with young children sees, they have found someone to cheat!

I was in this place 5 years ago. It was good. The prices are low, the service is pleasant, very tasty, the portions are large. We came here recently. Everything has changed. There is no customer orientation, it is very noisy. They left, they didn't eat.

The service here is so-so. No one helps with the choice of dishes, they just give the menu and leave. You need to come here knowing exactly what you want, a tourist who is in Georgia for the first time will definitely not be able to navigate independently in choosing a dish and will most likely be disappointed, since the staff is clearly not interested in this. It is always crowded here, which is probably why the staff does not waste time on familiarization and basic attention to the guest. The location is good, but there is no service.

In this place, you will wait a very long time for the menu, then when you wait for the order to be accepted, then when it is brought. The only moment that passes quickly is when you eat your meals, because you have been waiting for them for three days. Khinkali is delicious. One star for the view, the second for the Khinkali. And one more thing. 15% of the cost is added to all dishes, as a compliment, apparently to the chef

A pleasant place. We always go here. We advise everyone and bring friends and acquaintances here.
It is very tasty and pleasant at prices.
In the evenings, there is live music in front of the restaurant, a great addition.
There may be no seats in the evenings on weekends. We recently discovered a veranda on the 2nd floor.
Sometimes they carry the menu for a long time, but this is normal in Georgia. You can ask the waiter to bring the menu yourself, there is nothing wrong with that.

terrible food, no customer orientation, the waiter throws everything at you like a dog. they did not warn that there were no ingredients for the salad and cooked without them, as a result, when asked where what was stated on the menu, they said that it was over. the wait is terribly long, they asked for the bill several times, as a result, the waiter just walked past us for a very long time, then sat down to eat. I had to go to him myself to ask for the bill again. It is also indicated in the menu that 15% of tips are included in the price list, which means that they are already included in the price of dishes, but no, they will take advantage of it later. There can be no question of tips for such terrible service

In 19, it was delicious and the prices were normal. In the 24th year, at the end of September, 15% percent for the service and they also said that there was no service in the bill and the waiters needed to be additionally thanked. The food seems to be fine , but it used to be better. Lemonade is like water and it was brought already open , and it wasn't opened in front of me.

Terrible service, the waiter does not contact, brings the menu and runs away, they carry food for a very long time, the Khinkali bring cold ones, our remark was answered by "THEY are NOT COLD ", the administrator was called, who confirmed that they had already been aired. We 're not going back . There was also a quarrel in the hall between a customer and a waiter , they were shouting very loudly . I don't understand where the management is looking

I didn't like it. The usual cucumber-tomato salad was brought with a wild amount of pepper, neither I nor the child could eat. It was the first time I faced such a problem in Georgia. Meat is also too small, it is not suitable for children.

Poor long-term maintenance
The waiters are prostrated
They communicate rudely and incomprehensibly
The only plus is the location and the veranda overlooking the city and the fact that they speak Russian, but I think it's not difficult to explain in English about the dishes without it.
Khinkali is delicious, the cook is well done

They asked the waiter to clear the table, they were kicked out and sent to three letters, they went outside it turns out that we are not alone, we also kicked out a couple if you want a bad mood, come there, the attitude towards tourists is disgusting for 20 hinkals and 4 beers we took 130 GEL

We sat down on outdoor tables and this is the most important plus! Musicians (not from this institution) are constantly playing on the benches below and creating an atmosphere! The prices are average (not overpriced) and the food is very tasty! They serve quickly and there is no negativity!

Terrible service!
The pitch is very long!
There was something not edible in khinkali! They took the plate! Delete it from the account! And they never brought me a clean plate! And the shape of the khinkali is also not similar to the khinkali!

We got here when it was raining, so almost all the tables were occupied. It is best to get to the veranda of the 2nd floor, you can go to the 1st, we were on the 0 floor. We were prepared for the fact that hot dishes would have to wait a long time, so we did not feel irritated. Rum and wine were brought in 10 minutes, phali (mkhali) and eggplant with nuts in 15 minutes, and the kebab was waited for a little more than an hour. We liked the food and service, but we were not particularly enthusiastic.
A large company was sitting next to them, they were refused to issue separate checks, which, I think, is wrong. In other countries, there are no problems with issuing multiple checks.

I have been living in Georgia for 6 years, my husband is Georgian. We were very hungry, we went to have a snack on shish kebab and khinkali (a friend came to visit). The meat was very tough, but they were hungry, they ate it) I had to order the sauce, because it was not tasty at all. Then they brought us a bill for 50 GEL) it was a pity to pay for all this, well, the service was also included. When we lived in Tbilisi, we always went here, and often came when we were passing through, now it is unlikely. The receptionist said that no one but us had any problems, they didn't have a book to leave a comment on either. Almost broke my teeth about this meat) now, in general, I do not recommend the place anymore

A budget place. There are breakfasts, delicious lemonades, and a good meal. On the second floor there is a nice large veranda.
The service is average, the dishes are mediocre, but the wine is surprisingly good, even for 3-5 GEL a glass.
A great place to drink water and have a quick snack.

A good restaurant with affordable prices. The menu is varied and delicious) in the evening, after 22:00 approximately, they sing Georgian songs on the street)) in Georgia, the tax in restaurants is always + 15-20% on top of the bill, this is such a feature, I do not understand the previous reviews. I definitely Recommend The Restaurant!

The locals recommended this place to us. They didn't regret a bit. It's really delicious, annoying only yard dogs, which no one chases here. If you have chosen a table on the veranda, get ready, they lie down at their feet, they are not allowed inside)

There is a lot of oil and salt in the omelet, it is not tasty, they forgot about tea, you still pay 15% for such service. the chicken kebab and flatbread with cheese were delicious, but I'm unlikely to ever come back here.

It was very tasty, good service, khinkali was divine, they asked if possible to put us at a table on the terrace, when the table appeared, we were transferred. The prices are good. I see in the comments someone had a negative experience here, it's a pity, but the place is cool, go for sure.

Khinkali waited 40 minutes. Lemonade is served at 0.33, neighbors 0.5.
Khinkali itself is very weak - small, broth minimum.
The waiter did not indulge in attention at all, but did not forget to take offense at the lack of tips, although why would they leave them in this case ...
There were a lot of places in Tbilisi. I frankly did not like this restaurant.

At the sight of nationality, they said that the order should be waited for 1.5 hours (with a half-empty hall). When asked to bring coffee (latte or cappuccino), they replied that there was nothing available at all. We won't come back for anything.

Today we were in this institution, the atmosphere and location are not bad, but I can only serve 1 room, even this is a lot. They brought the money reluctantly, sat for 30 minutes and waved to the waitress, but she did not pay attention, considering that she was free…

You have to take the menu yourself. You also have to approach the waiters to accept the order yourself. You order, you eat, you ask for the bill. Of course, it is brought more willingly. They quickly slip a cash register with a check, you pay without thinking, and they quickly take it all away from you. When paying with a card, they throw a couple more lari on top of the bill, you pretend not to notice, a couple of lari, after all, let them stay for tea. And then you realize that there was an amount in the bill that was more than the cost of the dishes that you ordered. Well done, we earned an honest review

It's terrible! The service with a crooked face , waved their hands to be noticed and brought the menu . As a result , there is no such thing , there is no such thing , the order must wait 50 minutes . Okay, we stayed. We ordered 5 pieces of khinkali and a salad with chicken, wine, a glass of beer. The check came out at 38.45 .
The salad is a very small portion (chicken breast in mayonnaise and sometimes a cucumber was visible) . The meat in the hinkals is one vein.
In general , we were extremely dissatisfied . I do not recommend this institution, from the word at all.
On the second floor, tourists go to the balcony to take a photo, if you sit in the middle of the restaurant (like us), then like in a diner.
