It's really honest place - very traditional atmosphere, fast service, SILENT music (but not conversations around you - laughing and talking between georgian people - it's really place, which favourite of the locals). Khinkali is very good - you can eat it correctly, without tableware. It's really tasty with pepper!) A great place, fully consistent with the description - authentic atmosphere, fast service (even during sold-out periods - the place is very popular with locals). Extremely tasty and easy to eat khinkali - indeed, cutlery is not needed. I advise you not to ignore black pepper. We will definitely come back!

Very tasty khinkali and shish kebab. The menu is quite simple, but everything you need is there (except tea). The air conditioner works very hard, take a warm jacket with you in the summer! Unfortunately, it took a very long time to wait for the second skewer of the barbecue, although we ordered 2 skewers at once and the first one arrived in 15 minutes.

So my husband and I chose a place where you can eat shish kebab and khinkali. We chose this place based on the reviews. We will never do that again. We ordered a barbecue of chicken and pork. They brought 5 pieces of one and another kind. The meat is tough and tasteless. Khinkali on 4, nothing supernatural. The service leaves much to be desired. It's clear that Russian is poorly spoken, but when you are served with a lemon-eating face. Appetite disappears. The price tag is above average. This is not our first visit to Georgia. We visit different cities. There is something to compare it with.

I want to share my impressions of the dinner! We were looking for a place where you can eat delicious food and not go broke. We found the perfect option. Food: We took a set for two — the portions are simply huge! The khinkali here is really the best in the city: the dough is thin, there is a lot of broth, and the meat is juicy. Shish kebab is a separate song: soft, smoky, melts in your mouth. We took the vegetables and complemented the meat perfectly. Bottom line: We ate every last bite, took a bottle of wine. The entire dinner for two cost only 2,400 rubles. With such quality and quantity of food, it's just a gift! Verdict: I definitely recommend it for a visit. If you want to have a satisfying, tasty and budget—friendly time together, you are here. We will definitely come back!

It seems that according to the reviews, khinkali is delicious, it seemed ordinary to me. The dough is thinner than the standard one, it tears, and it is extremely inconvenient to eat. The tomato sauce is delicious, after and without frills. The place and the interior are pleasant. If only the waiters were more friendly, it would be great))

We went to this place several times, delicious dishes, good atmosphere, pleasant prices. The first two times the guys served, they were greeted very politely with a smile; they immediately brought the menu, appliances, drinks! But today a young girl was serving: she was unhappy, the menu was waited for a long time, she brought the dishes and drinks 10 minutes after ordering; they ordered 2 sauces, as a result they served only 1; she said the cost of the entire meal verbally, she could not provide a receipt. I really didn't like the waiter's attitude!

It's a very cool and atmospheric place, usually a lot of people there, including locals, often come in, which I think is an indicator. Good value for money, you can have a fairly inexpensive and very tasty meal! Hayapuri deserves special attention here! A friend who has been living in Georgia for the 4th year said that it was the best khachipuri he had ever eaten anywhere! I definitely recommend you to visit!

This place is clearly overrated. We just got back from dinner. I'm writing while my impressions are fresh. The impression is twofold: there are a lot of people, but no interior, no good service. So, with laziness. Authentic? No. Delicious dishes, too, no. The meat is too salty, the khinkali is so-so. I didn't like it. Good luck to all!

We were here 9 years ago on the recommendation of the locals, remembered the best Khinkali on that trip and returned! Well.. khinkali is still beautiful! Such a thin and elastic dough, which does not tear and chopped minced meat with spices, has not been found anywhere else. The only thing is, this time the stuffing seemed salty to me. But the kebab was even more salty. Excellent meat, juicy, perfect for pepper..but this salt has ruined everything, although I always add everything to myself. It's very budget friendly, which is another definite plus.

We were going to Magnolia, but it turned out to be closed, so we started looking for a place to go nearby based on reviews. The choice fell on this institution, because the score is 5.0! Well, now we have a lower threshold of the restaurant level. They were met very coldly, silently accepted the order, advised nothing, commented nothing, spoke Russian poorly. The drinks arrived first. The chacha turned out to be the most disgusting among those that we tried. The first meal arrived 30 minutes later...40 minutes, there was no answer to the questions why it took so long. Khinkali didn't keep their shape, we have something to compare it with during our trip to Georgia. Lobiani waited for 1 hour! After three reminders, when our patience ran out, we asked lobiani not to do it, and they immediately brought them! We refused, the waiter just blinked, but the cleaning lady came running??? with a mop and said, "you ordered, you eat!" It turned out to be a mini-scandal. As a result, they were removed from the check, and after paying, we left the institution. Well, this is also an experience of "how it shouldn't be" and now we remember this dinner with a smile, for which I give 2 stars. Our common wish is to close this restaurant and not spoil the impression of hospitable Georgia! There are no photos, as the situation there is so-so, really like in a train, for an amateur))

We waited a long time for the menu, ordered khinkali, khachapuri, potted dumplings, salad and lemonade. We got 36 lari, but they still didn't give us lemonade (although they punched it into the receipt). Khinkali and khachapuri are very tasty, but I did not like the dumplings (they are a little under-salted, there is little meat and it is tough), the salad is good

Delicious and big khinkali -eldepo. The rest are standard size. Everything is moderately peppery. The kebab is delicious, but it's not clear what kind of meat it's made of)) The waiters seem to have become a little more emotional. I made the order in English, I told my husband not to yell in Russian)) I've read the reviews from the previous ones) I didn't hear any Russian speech from any of the tables in an hour. The order arrives quickly. I didn't experience the WOW effect) in the Russian Federation grid, "old man khinkalych" is no worse.

Delicious. I came on the recommendation of the owner of the guesthouse. Lots of people, lots of locals. A portion of one flavor is at least 5 pcs. I ordered 5 branded eldepos and 5 with cheese. And khachapuri to take away. I expected more from him, but in fact it's just a cheese tortilla. Khachapuri itself tasted better in Russia. Yes, the service is a big minus. I ordered tomato sauce for khinkali. Khinkali was brought in, but he wasn't there. I've already asked three waiters to bring it. Do you think someone brought something? Of course not. I've already started asking for sauce on the second round and only for 6!!! once it was actually brought to me when I had eaten half of the khinkali. Also, they do not give any receipt and do not show what they counted in the receipt. I said I wanted to pay in cash, they told me fine. And so I continued to sit and wait for the bill to arrive. But no one did anything, of course. I got up myself and went to their counter, and the woman just showed me the amount to pay on the calculator, just like that. I paid 33 lari for 10 khinkali, khachapuri, lemonade and sauce. It's delicious, but I took off a star for the service, and you can even take off two.

One of the advantages: normal khinkali, but torn. The service is 0/5, and I speak Georgian, they just ignore the bill, if you don't ask, they won't bring it, they'll just tell you how much it turned out. The waiters are not suitable, you need to approach them yourself. I don't know why that is

I took khinkali to take away - 1.30 per piece + 5 GEL package. Since I've tried khinkali better, I didn't really like it. It was cooked quickly, in about 7 minutes. The dough is thin, the size is slightly smaller compared to other establishments. In some places, it is one and a half times more. The meat is medium, there is broth. Conclusion: if you have not eaten the cool Georgian khinkali, then you will like it here. Ps: there is no photo, everything was eaten quickly

No one will pay attention to you, you are pleasant to yourself, sit down and wait...The dialogue is in English only, the food is for three, dumplings in a pot, one dough, a piece of meat with a centimeter diameter... Khachapuri is not wow, but you can eat it... I wouldn't come a second time(

We found this place ourselves on the recommendation of a local. And they were not mistaken. Branded khinkali eldepo is just a bomb, the size of a head, exactly three sips of broth, chopped meat, in short something with something. Khachapuri in Imeretian is perfect, not salty, the dough is delicious. The whole shish kebab is juicy, we tried it all!!!! And the prices will pleasantly surprise you!!! To sum up, I definitely recommend it for a visit!!!

We were on a weekday at about 5 p.m., the restaurant was almost empty. 3-4 stoics were occupied by local residents. The menu was brought to us immediately, after 7 minutes they came to take the order. I disagree with the reviews that they almost spit at Russians and tourists. Yes, we talked to the waiter in English, but among ourselves in Russian. Well, they don't have to know Russian. Yes, the waiters have stone faces, this does not add a positive atmosphere, unfortunately.. but we have noticed this trend everywhere in Georgia, if it is not a tourist destination. Kebab and khinkali are fire. Everything was brought in about 15 minutes, we were stunned by the size of that khinkali, that kababa)) tomato sauce is man-made, with fresh herbs, not ketchup from a bottle. I saw a review about a cucumber/tomato salad - it's not salty, it's not peppery. So it is not salted or peppered anywhere in Georgia) and there is a salt and pepper shaker on the table. Well, it's not stupid slicing, there's also a generous handful of greens and onions on top.

I completely agree with the previous reviews. The food is great, the service is lame. We came in twice, both times with exactly the same attitude. We sat at the table for half an hour until she got up and went to the counter, no one even paid attention. Okay, the order was accepted, the beer was brought and again, we cook khinkali for forty minutes. Guys, you're the only one who works for them, why is it taking so long? The food is delicious, the price is adequate, the service is slow. One star for the minuses service ✴️

Delicious khinkali, the choice of food is small, but it's probably good, there is no grub. One big THING is the service. I thought it was a coincidence and I got such a waitress. But we have been here for the 5th time and I decided to write a review. Today we sat down at an empty table, a waitress ran up to us and said that it was occupied, when asked to transfer, clicked, ran away and brought a sign on the table in Georgian like Reserved. But Russians do not give up) Thanks to the young couple from Lithuania who allowed us to sit at their table)) so we are looking for advantages everywhere))

An ideal place to drink beer and eat different hinkals. And all this is a sutra. It sounds like alcoholism, but it feels like freedom. But seriously, this is a very nice and inexpensive place near the center. I can't say that it's very clean or the service is excellent, but it's very tasty.

They don't speak Russian at all, they offered it in English, the waiters were not friendly, one menu for 4 people. The desire to come again did not arise. For that, the wine list is more than the menu itself)))) the interior is normal, clean, cozy, the prices are affordable. Khinkali is good, but I would not say that they are delicious, as they say in the reviews)

A place where people go for khinkali! In the photo, the size of the branded ones (1.30 lari/piece) is relative to my not-the-smallest palm. The dough is thin. Very good khachapuri. The place is popular, so get ready to get there not the first time, but the wait is worth it. The service is fast even with a full landing. I recommend it!

The best Khinkali in Georgia! Divine beans in a pot. As usual in Georgia, the service looks like "well, what did we come here for", but all this is compensated by the excellent cuisine. Khinkali at 1.2 lari per piece, beans in a pot 5 lari, a bottle of wine 25 lari. Recommendation
