We stopped by 2 hours before closing time, just to eat. We were served very quickly. What surprised me was this is the first place in Georgia in several years where the hot stuff was served together, usually you already have time to eat before the other one arrives. Homemade cherry compote was like in childhood 🍒 Khinkali is delicious, moderately spicy, the kebab is juicy and delicious. I liked this experience. There is live music and a terrace with a magnificent view of the river.

It's a very interesting place, a good atmosphere, the menu is not that different from others, but everything is cooked delicious, served like in the best restaurants. The prices are reasonable enough for such a place. In the evening, a cultural program on stage, songs, dances. Cool terrace, balcony, overlooking the river. We had dinner with the children, there is something to order for the children.

The only advantage is the view!!!! At the entrance, they were greeted with a claim to English, approx. But the waiter was unable to answer basic questions about the menu and the opening hours of the restaurant. Khinkal for 2.9 is one of the most expensive that we ate in Batumi-Tbilisi!!! But alas and ah....not the most delicious.... Ajapsandal salad is too salty. The bowl is delicious -no question 👌🏻 The wine was brought 2.5 times more expensive than I ordered, so I was forced to pay. The place is described as fun, noisy, with national dances, but there was nothing but mournful vocals. Well, the icing on the cake: for unknown reasons, the card payment (international card) did not go through, there was not enough cash (previously there were no problems with the card). We offered to pay $, but were refused and had to run to a 24-hour exchanger.

Overall, it's not a bad place. The location is good, the balcony is very beautiful. At 8 p.m., the program includes folk music and dancing. If you want to sit inside, you need to book in advance, not every day like me) but from the balcony you could also hear singing and dancing, but not so well. Food: elarji is delicious, veal kebab is a little dry and too salty and spicy. The staff speaks both English and Russian.

Delicious cuisine, large portions, a beautiful view from the balcony of the old town and Kura, a magnificent dance ensemble and male polyphonic singing. They gave about 4,000rubles for two people, but this is with a bottle of excellent wine. I recommend

I had lunch at a restaurant, came without prior reservation to the opening, I was offered a table by the window with a beautiful view. There were few visitors at that time. The waiter was friendly and smiling. The service is fast. The food is ordinary, I won't say what tastes better than anywhere else. The bread is straight from the oven, hot, delicious. There were no tables for the evening. It is better to book a few days in advance, as I understand it. I was satisfied with the lunch and the amazing view.

The music and singing are good, the food is all too salty, we paid 306 GEL, the wine was in the kvevri category, but there is not a word about kvevri on the bottles. (My head hurt) Chikmiruli, just fried chicken is very salty and dry, sauce is poured on top, not at all, who understands, a couple more dishes that I ordered are too salty, why do that? There is always salt on the table, if necessary, everything can be added, a huge amount of intourist, brought by bus, the waiter did not even ask why we did not eat, just took away almost whole plates of food back. A delicious Georgian salad, khinkali is also normal. (But they are very difficult to mess up) The restaurant is not for Georgians, but for tourists who have not tried Georgian cuisine enough!

Review of a restaurant visit (04/01/2025) We visited the restaurant on April 1, 2025. The table was pre-booked by phone, through a contact from the website. We arrived on time, there was almost no one at the entrance. The receptionist couldn't find our reservation for a long time, he read the notes, giving the impression of disorganization — which is surprising, considering the almost empty hall. As a result, we were shown to a table located in the far corner, with uncomfortable metal chairs that looked more like a dining room. I asked the administrator to replace either the chairs or the table itself, since there were tables with upholstered chairs in the hall, closer to the stage. At first, I received the answer that it was "the way it should be" in this row, but after a persistent request, I still found a decent option — in the center of the hall, with comfortable furniture. I thank the employee for being able to resolve the situation promptly, although the confusion about the initial approach remains: how can you offer the least successful seat with an empty hall, and even not find a reservation? A young waiter served us quickly, politely, with respect and a sincere smile. I would really like to remember his name so that I can mark him personally. Thanks to him, the impression of the beginning of the evening was partially smoothed out. Special thanks to him! Kitchen. Traditional Georgian. You won't find any modern interpretations here — everything is classic. Overall, the dishes are good, but there is a serious note: some items were noticeably over-salted. Especially the phali and crumpets — the salt was so strong that it was impossible to eat them. At the same time, other dishes (satsivi, khachapuri, khinkali, meat) were balanced and quite pleasant. I especially remember khachapuri in Megrelian style - baked, with enough cheese, without too much salt. The wine was picked up by the waiter — white semi-sweet Georgian, it was very tasty. The show program. It consists of three parts: Georgian choral singing is emotionally weak, formal, as if without a soul. I would like more feeling, liveliness and energy. The dance part is excellent! The performers are wonderful, the dancing is dynamic and vibrant, but the stage is very small, which creates a feeling of a cramped hall. The entertainment part with the songs is fun, lively, and fervent. A nice little thing. By the end of the evening, it turned out that there was a birthday boy among the guests. The restaurant staff quickly helped organize the congratulations: they found sweets that replaced the cake (which is strange in itself — there was no real dessert for such occasions in a restaurant of this level), and flowers were delivered. Thank you for your promptness and willingness to help — the situation was really saved. My overall impressions are mixed. On the one hand, there is a good kitchen, an attentive waiter, and an interesting show program. On the other hand, there are organizational shortcomings, oddities with seating arrangements, and obvious flaws in the kitchen (the issue of salt is critical), as well as the weak emotionality of the first part of the program. It is also confusing that even with an almost empty hall, an armored table can be the most inconvenient, and the staff takes a long time to find your record. Prices. By Georgian standards— it is above average. According to Moscow standards, they are moderate. Conclusions. The restaurant has great potential: a spacious hall, a veranda, a concept, and a location. But it is necessary to work on the details: — staff training regarding the priority of armor; — control of the kitchen (especially salt); — strengthening the emotional part of the choral program; — attention to the little things that make the atmosphere (the ability to organize a dessert in case of a holiday, the precise work of the administrator). Should I recommend a restaurant? Yes rather than no, but with a number of caveats. Should I visit again? Yes, it is possible. Will I call it a "cult place"? No. Rather, it is a restaurant worth visiting after exploring stronger alternatives to Tbilisi.

We visited the institution on 07/14/2025. We went on the recommendation of local residents. The table was not booked in advance, the receptionist greeted us kindly and offered a table in a corner without a view, which was recommended to us. When we had already settled down and placed an order, one of the waiters came up and made a remark to my friend's husband, because he was not wearing a T-shirt, but a T-shirt. The waiter said that you shouldn't be in their establishment like this, and he reacted to our arguments that the receptionist had led us in, saying that the employee was new and it was her mistake. He offered to either change clothes or leave the establishment. Saying that we were not going to stay, we had lunch and said goodbye. The result is a spoiled mood. If you are going to visit a restaurant, men, wear T-shirts so that the waiters don't make comments to you.

In general, it is a good place for banquets and large companies. But we apparently turned out to be very spoiled) a huge number of staff, and the feeling that you were forgotten did not leave the whole evening. Drinks are not poured, they only bring them to order, they open it and that's it, then they themselves and everything would be fine if men were with us. Live music and dancing are a plus, we actually came from them. The food is delicious, without frills, as in all classic restaurants in Tbilisi, the concept of serving a dish, aesthetics, unfortunately is missing. The cherry on the cake was the discrepancy between the cost in the menu and the receipt, it was not pleasant. We wish you to work on the service, for which you generously ask for 18% of the receipt.

We went to have lunch with the family. I'll give you three points just for a beautiful terrace with a great view. The food is average. You can eat, you didn't get poisoned, but you didn't get much pleasure either. But what marred the visit was the disgusting service. The male waiter, although he spoke Russian, but generally treated and served us as if he was doing us a great favor. In the end, he brought us a whole handful of 20 kopecks for change. As a result, I got one of them for a tip. I do not recommend it.

Don't come here so that your holiday won't be ruined. This restaurant is not about delicious food. There are many tourists here who came to watch dances and listen to Georgian songs. The focus has shifted from food to entertainment. The prices are very high. Compared with other restaurants - 2.5 times higher. But it would be delicious and not a pity! But.. For whom it is important - there is no menu in Russian. Of the 20 waiters, only one somehow speaks Russian. You can come here to order a glass of wine and take a picture of the city from the terrace. Unfortunately.

I celebrated my birthday in this place, for the second time in Tbilisi, and every time I was disappointed, in my opinion they forgot how to cook khinkali in Tbilisi, khinkali was served warm, medium size, there was no broth in them at all, but they stand like an airplane wing. Three-star service. We booked a table in advance, but in fact it turned out that there was no) I don't recommend it

We celebrated our penultimate day in Tbilisi in this restaurant, we specially looked for such a restaurant with national cuisine, dances, songs, everything came together, all expectations were fulfilled delicious cuisine, a trio of respectable Georgians sang songs so sincerely that I wanted to listen and listen, incendiary dances performed by 4 young dancers filled the hall with such energy that I wanted to go to dance)) In the evening, a beautiful view of the old town opened from the veranda of the restaurant, and our vacation was completed!! If you are in Tbilisi, I recommend visiting this restaurant at least once. Prices are reasonable, as in Moscow))

Kitchen 5 , service 0. I had to wait 25 minutes for the waiter to take the order. If you want to order something, after waiting 20 minutes, you catch another waiter to accept the order. There are a lot of dishes on the table , the waiter is lost, you ask the passers-by to clean up. I do not recommend it!

It was the final chord of our busy day in Tbilisi. The main highlight of the institution is the views. The restaurant is located on a cliff above the Kura, and the windows offer panoramas of the Old City: temples, fortresses, streets and houses, and the river itself. Evening bonus - illumination and magic lights. The advantages do not end with wonderful panoramas. The acquaintance with the national flavor and culture continues here thanks to the entertainment program: Caucasian songs, dances and costumes all evening. You can also dance by yourself. And, of course, Georgian cuisine - all the classics of national dishes + wines + options for lovers of European cuisine. And all this at reasonable prices for a restaurant of this level: it is more expensive in our provincial cafe in the Kirov region ( Our check for the evening is 2 thousand (a meat frying pan, a cheese plate, eggplant with nuts, a bottle of wine, half a bottle of vodka). Everything is delicious, the service is on the level, they even helped out with charging the phone (they took it away, charged it, brought it, and continued to take pictures, because it's impossible to stop). I highly recommend it and would really like to do it again 😍

I just read an article about the restaurant In the shadow of Metekhi on madloba.info And I can't wait to visit it anymore! After learning that the restaurant looks like an old manor house with a gorgeous veranda and a beautiful interior, I was immediately interested in this atmospheric establishment. I am glad to hear that the waiters work at the highest level, they keep everything clean and that there is a green tree inside the restaurant that grows against the stone wall. I am sure that the musicians playing the violin and piano will add a special atmosphere to In the shadow of Metekhi. I can't help but note that the Georgian khinkali and veal kebabs offered in the restaurant sound very attractive to lovers of delicious food. I will definitely book a place at the bar and taste delicious Georgian wines. I already feel that a visit to In the shadow of Metekhi will be an unforgettable historical and culinary experience!

We celebrated a wedding with my husband in this restaurant. We were together, but we were warned about the reason even when booking. As a result, the hostess was the most polite and smiling of all. We were not congratulated on the holiday (although I saw that happy birthday, for example, people are congratulated). The waiter served the dishes with such a face, as if we had not booked a table for 2-3 weeks, but had asked for it. It's hard to tell from the dishes - it was spicy and a lot of spices for me, everything suited my husband. And so, I would probably also mark the terrace. We were just sitting on it, looking at the city. We chose this table ourselves, but I understood that mostly everyone goes out to smoke on the terrace, but they sit in the hall. In general, the feelings are very ambiguous.
