Small and quite simple portions compared to price. We also felt that the meat (grilled lamb & chicken) was a bit dry and unflavoured. We have visited few other Georgian restaurants and this was a bit disappointing compared to other ones in Finland. Wine and drink list was nice though! And the restaurant & atmosphere is nice.

The restaurant is in a lovely location, in a smart courtyard the seating was in a clean and bright environment. The staff made us very welcome and accommodating. Great selection of food and drinks, the Georgian wine is a must to try. The food was lovely and hot plus very tasty. We would highly recommend to any visitor.

The name of this place near my hotel place didn't give a clue that this is a Georgian restaurant. Only the signboard outside made me aware of it. The interior consists of a tall glass covered courtyard with several plants and it seems very popular. I felt lucky to get a free table, to which I was directed by staff from the counter, where I had gone first. There were sets, glasses and cutlery for two put already there and the unused ones were not taken away, as usual, after I had sat down alone.

To begin I had my favourite Georgian starter, Nigvziani Badrijani, an eggplant roll filled with walnut paste, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. As a main course I went for a speciality from the Svaneti region, a Kubdari, thus a bread filled with chunks of meat and onions, usually spiced with dried dill, fenugreek, coriander, red pepper. It was good. It is inscribed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia.

Since they didn't have any Georgian red wine like Saperavi I went for a white Tsinantali, which was not served very cold. Also they don't offer Georgian spirits as at the Georgian 'Rioni' restaurant chain of Finland, where I went to the next evening and which I already knew from Turku.

Thank you for your feedback as well as for visiting us. I am genuinely surprised to hear your comment about the Saperavi red wine and the hard Georgian spirits, as we definitely have both of them available. It’s possible that this review reflects an earlier visit? We strive to provide an authentic Georgian dining experience, and your comments are invaluable in helping us improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance to serve you the full range of our offerings.

We really enjoyed our visit here. We had the Georgian beef stew and the bean and nut stew, both delicious with bread. It was our first evening in Helsinki and it was a lovely way to start. We love Georgian wine so it was a real treat to have a glass accompanying our meal. The setting was cozy and inviting. Alma our waitress was attentive, welcoming and professional and talked us through the menu, she also offered some Helsinki travel tips.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Thanks Gastro Hub!
