Last night we ordered shawarma from your restaurant, and honestly, it was a huge disappointment. We…read morespecifically paid extra for double chicken, but there was barely any meat inside -- it honestly felt like there was none at all. Instead of a regular shawarma with tomatoes, it was filled with random greens/leaves. At one point I genuinely felt like a goat eating a salad instead of shawarma. Overall, it simply wasn't tasty. On top of that, the employee seemed half asleep and managed to mix up absolutely everything, making our order the complete opposite of what we asked for. We waited around 40 minutes for our order even though there were only a couple of people sitting there drinking tea. We also had to remind the waitress about the check and our change, and in the end she told us she didn't have enough change -- so we never received the rest of our money back. Both the food and the service left a very unpleasant impression. Absolutely not worth the money. Very disappointed.

The dough for the manti was of questionable quality, and the meat wasn't exactly fresh either... we couldn't eat and just had to dumped all food.

Suggestion: It will be great to create sample platter, so people who never experienced Georgian food , can taste different type of dishes. The only thing I would change is interior wall colore, way too dark. White color wall will make place look bigger. Thank you for delicious food!

So I am not new to Georgian cuisine, we have a great place back home in Mt. Kisco, but my mother…read morehad never had Georgian before so we gave it a go. Restaurant itself is in a bit off the beaten track in a strip mall with mostly non-food businesses. We were there on a Thursday evening which was not busy time. Clearly a family run business with one person cooking (the husband?) and one person serving (the wife?). When we arrived around 730 there was only one other table occupied and no one minding the front of the house so we seated ourselves. It was over 5 minutes before the server appeared from the kitchen but once we got her attention we were given menus. Had to remind her to bring us water. The restaurant itself was very homey and pleasant. On the food side of things we were very satisfied, absolutely delicious . We had the Eggplant Rolls and a Khachapuri Adjaruli (the one that looks like a boat with the egg yolk on top), both were very tasty. I had the Lula Kebab (land and beef kinda like a Kofta Kabab) and my mom had the Chicken Kebab. Both were delicious. I give the waitress credit because when I was ordering I almost ordered the fried potatoes as a side, but she made a face which I correctly intercepted to mean it was gonna be too much food for the 2 of us, which would have been true. Def too one leftovers. Would def recommend checking out this place, food is really good.

Unfortunately not many peopke are familiar with Georgian cuisine, otherwise these restaurants would…read morebe very busy because the Georgian food is very good. Just to give you a rundown, start with Khachapuri for the whole table to share. This is just a boat-shaped bread filled with melted cheese, butter, and make sure you get it with the egg options. Tear the crust, mix the center together, and use the rest of the bread to dip inside the mix For main plate, you should try Khinkali, which is a dumpling stuffed with meat and broth. I also recommend Ozhakhuri if you want so thing simpler, which is a mix of pork, potatoes, and other vegetables and seasoning So Askaneli is a large restaurant, and at the time I went had a nice and private ambiance. The server was good and let us sample Georgian wines. And the food was obviously great. So if you are looking to try something different, I'd say go to Askaneli and try good Georgian cuisine for yourself

We came here to celebrate a birthday and had made a reservation a few days in advance for a party…read moreof 12 (8 adults and 4 young children). When we arrived and walked through the front door, the restaurant was completely empty... No host, no staff, no one in sight. We waited around for about 15 minutes before deciding to walk around the property, where we eventually found a side entrance near the bar with two employees. When we told them we were there to dine, they seemed genuinely shocked by the size of our group, despite the fact that we reminded them we had a reservation. We were then asked to wait another 15 minutes while they prepared a table. During this time, the air conditioning inside was not on, which is unacceptable given this is South Florida and the heat can be relentless. We ended up asking to sit outside, which was surprisingly cooler. Once seated, we immediately noticed bird droppings on the floor and on a wall/pillar just inches away from our table. It was very off-putting and confusing why this wasn't cleaned, especially since the outdoor area is clearly meant for guests. Service continued to be disorganized. After sitting for several minutes, we were finally asked if we wanted anything to drink, and we requested water. Immediately after that, we were asked what we wanted to order for dinner -- before we even had time to look at the menu. It felt rushed and poorly timed. When the food began coming out, it arrived in random spurts rather than together. Half of our group received their meals and started eating, while the other half waited over 20 minutes. At one point, more of our food was brought out -- but instead of being served to us, it was left sitting on the bar nearby for about 15 minutes. We had to ask three separate times if that food was ours, get ignored, then FINALLY be told, "Oh yeah, sorry, we'll serve you now." By that point, the food had been sitting out, exposed, and had gone cold. Not to mention we were already outside so I'm sure some flies were on and around the food. The server attempted to give us the food and we told him it was cold. He then said he would "warm it up". We had to explicitly ask for fresh plates, which should never have been necessary. By the time the replacements arrived, the rest of the party had already been waiting 30+ minutes after others had finished eating. The entire experience just felt chaotic. There was obviously a noticeable inconsistency in service. A table next to us appeared to be receiving extremely attentive service, while our table struggled to get even basic needs met. I think they may have been Georgian so they got special treatment. One of the particularly frustrating issues was water -- all of us were drinking water, and not once were our glasses refilled until the very end, when they were completely empty and we were visibly thirsty. Even then, we had to ask for more water!! Because this was a birthday celebration, we had originally planned on getting dessert, but given everything that had happened, we decided to just ask for the check. Getting our check took an additional 20+ minutes to arrive. To add to the confusion, another staff member repeatedly brought food to our table that none of us had ordered, forcing our server to redirect him to the correct tables. It seemed like nobody was trained?? With all that said, the food and drinks themselves were very good overall and tasted unique compared to standard offerings in the area. Our waitress was also very kind, and it was clear she was overwhelmed and likely did not have enough support to properly manage everything. The location is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, with fantastic views of the surrounding buildings and nearby water in Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately, the lack of organization, cleanliness, and basic service overshadowed what could have been a great experience. I really am rooting for them and hoping they can get it together because it has potential.

Terrible place with zero respect for customers. We called ahead to ask if they could prepare food…read morefor us, and they confirmed that they could. The restaurant is listed as closing at 10 PM, so we arrived at 8:50 PM. When we got there, we were told they wouldn't make anything because the chefs had already left. How does that even make sense? Why say one thing over the phone and then do the complete opposite in person? The staff is unprofessional and rude, and clearly doesn't care about their guests. It honestly feels like no one there wants to work. I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. If you don't want to waste your time and nerves, stay away.

I ordered the khinkali, and while the flavor was good, the ground meat filling contained an…read moreexcessive amount of cartilage. Finding hard, chewy pieces occasionally can happen, but it occurred often enough that it noticeably affected the texture throughout the meal. At times I was picking cartilage out while eating, which took away from the experience. Whether this is an oversight in preparation or part of the meat blend they are using, it points to a quality-control issue with how the ground meat is handled. The kitchen needs to do a better job trimming and preparing the meat before grinding and serving it. Aside from that, the service from the waiter was excellent, truly 5-star, but this issue kept me from rating the overall experience higher.

I had brunch here this past Sunday with a few friends, and once again Café Noir did not disappoint!…read moreWhile it's a kosher dairy restaurant (no meat is served), they offer an excellent selection of breakfast, lunch, fish, and sushi. Even if you don't keep kosher, it's absolutely worth a visit because the food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. I ordered the Breakfast for Two (about $38), which was an incredible value. It included cappuccinos, fresh orange juice, three eggs per person, a croissant, your choice of a baguette or multigrain bread, individual salads, and an impressive tower of spreads including tuna salad, feta, olives, pickles, and more. Everything was fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. One of my friends ordered the Eggs Benedict. It normally comes with smoked salmon, but the staff was happy to accommodate her request to substitute mushrooms instead, which we really appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating--we chose to sit inside since it was a hot South Florida morning. One fun touch was that the menu was displayed on an iPad, which made browsing the extensive menu easy and interactive. If you're looking for a wonderful brunch or lunch spot with fresh, high-quality food, generous portions, and excellent service, I highly recommend Café Noir. It's become one of my favorite places, and I'll definitely be back!

This was my recent dinner at Kalinka, where instead of my usual barbecue sauce I seasoned it with sour cream ("smetana")! It's always great to expand one's culinary horizons, isn't that what makes a foodie? As other reviewers mentioned, the majority of the space is a grocery store stocking traditional dishes from Russia and other Eastern European countries. There are a few tables inside the store as well as outside. You order at the counter, and your dish is brought out to your table if eating in. Besides my chicken dish, I also enjoyed a portion of kachapuri (stuffed cheese bread) as well as a warm and flaky cherry pie ("vishni"). One of my overseas friends recommended pomegranate juice as part of my wellness regimen. To my delight, I was able to purchase a large bottle of it (sok granat). The cashier / deli attendant helped me find it, and also gave me the opportunity to place my order in Russian as well. Thank you for that "above and beyond" level of service. Blagodario bas!
