Having been all over Georgia a few years back from Batumi to Tblisi and falling in love with the food and wine (Georgia has a claim to being amongst the original wine makers), finding this lovely restaurant serving proper Georgian food, was a very happy moment. The decor is old school, the prices are cheap for London (not for Georgia), but the food is by far the best Georgian Ive found in London. The staff are really friendly and are more than happy to talk about the food and offer suggestions for the table. For a drink I would recommend trying the chacha, the Georgian national spirit, which is made from grape pomace (a part of the product of the wine making process) and goes very well with Georgian meal. Georgian lemonade is tarragon flavoured and bright green, and is also a great addition and Georgian wine is very full bodied and quite different from other wines. Think a mellower Cabernet Sauvignon. The Acharuli Khachapuri (boat shaped bread with cheese and egg) is a must have and a crowd pleaser. Georgian salad is so simple, with just roughly chopped tomato and cucumber, but the walnut sauce makes it really tasty! If you go any grilled meats, make sure to ask for Tkemali sauce (green if available). In the pictures you can see two chicken dishes (Satsivi and Shkmeruli), liver with mushrooms and pomegranate and a beef stew for which I cant remember the name. Theres a lot more on offer, with very walnut and aubergine rich dishes. I would highly recommend if you like you like very comforting and tasty food.

Food writer Jonathan Nunn had written about this place and I had it saved for a really long time and finally got a chance to try it! This is definitely a hidden gem! Absolutely delicious food made with the freshest ingredients! We started with the Badrijani and Khachapuri. My husband normally can't stand eggplants but I was really eager to try this dish. However, he enjoyed it so much he ate half of it!! Can't really go wrong with bread filled with cheese and I highly highly recommend this! For the main course we ordered the Satsivi. This chicken dish had the most incredible sauce and was very flavorful and really just called for some bread to mop it up with. However it was served with a rice cauliflower dish which just had an off-putting texture for us. It was a little more dense than I had imagined and I thought it was going to be more fluffy like cauliflower rice. We also ordered the lamb stew called Chakapuli. This one was served with a salad and some bread. Lamb was soft and succulent. The broth was incredibly herbaceous and very comforting on a cold day. Highly recommend! We didn't get any dessert on this visit but I do hope they offer more traditional baked Georgian goods cuz I would love to try those. The service was quick and the restaurant was incredibly clean and warm and inviting. Definitely going to come back!
