What People Say

Diners rave about the authenticity of the food – especially the cheese-filled khachapuri and juicy dumplings. Reviews frequently highlight the welcoming service and the fact that the staff takes time to explain the menu to first-timers. Many also note the intimate atmosphere as a refreshing change from the usual pre-concert hustle. It’s described as a hidden gem in a neighborhood full of options.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the space is quite compact, which adds to the charm but may not be ideal for very large groups. If you’re in a hurry, it's worth mentioning that while service is generally prompt, the kitchen can slow down slightly during peak hours. Also, there’s no formal dress code, but the cozy setting leans more casual than upscale.
