This place took like 8 years to open, so you've had time to plan your visit by now. Shame on you if you haven't been here yet. The menu is a labyrinth. I still don't know what's on it. When you read it you'll know what I mean. But the servers are incredible and guided us to some amazing food. Eggplant rolls. Get. Them. We did the sampler platter and you should for try it. It was good but it might be something I enjoyed and don't revisit. Loved the khachapuri. The bread is light. You can eat one and not feel heavy. Glad this place is open and hope they crush it. Welcome addition to the neighborhood. I would recommend they put dimmer lights outside though. The patio has a harsh vibe I think they should try and soften it more. read more

Very tasty and interesting food. A bit pricey so I won't seek it out but good to at least try

The food was uniquely different. I wouldn't say delicious but texture and taste was very unusual. Service was good at first and then not so good after that. Ambience was nice, music was being played, but the space is too small to have such a large band to play. You can't hear yourself. and the price for the food was way too much for what we got. read more

I really enjoyed everything about this experience. The ambiance, the witty menu, the knowledgeable and super friendly staff (shout out to Anthony for taking care of us) and of course the delicious food. There was so much to try that we didn't have enough room between the 5 of us. Next time, we are trying more items from the menu and I am really looking forward to it. read more

Keeper! LOL! It's a wonderfully arranged and placed inour neighborhood. Pretty witty and artsy :)) Not sure who is cooking but it is WOW read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday. Every single thing was delicious. Dumpling texture was perfect and slightly chewy. Stew seasoning was amazing. Walnut stew was so unique, never had anything like it. Absolutely delicious across the board. We took our food for takeout, but when I went inside to pay, the interior is gorgeous. Already planning to go back and dine in the restaurant for a friend's birthday coming up! read more

Incredible spot that is very unique and well thought out. Loved every bit of it, a must try in the University Heights area.

Can't find instructions to make a reservation. I walked in with a party of 2 at 5:30 pm. There was no host/ess and several people waiting to be greeted. There were 2 tables seated and the restaurant was nearly empty. They insisted we make a reservation next time. In the amount of time we waited, we could have been seated, eaten, and out the door. Sadly, we didn't get to try the food. This is simply my opinion, you don't have to agree, but there are too many restaurants in San Diego to be letting people walk with empty tables. read more

We had a pretty terrible experience here. My complaints here are around the menu, pricing vs. portion size, service, and overall taste itself. For one, we were looking VERY forward to trying this spot out and had high hopes. The first thing is that the menu is extremely hard to understand and our server took 0 time to explain anything to us. Seeing that this is a Georgian restaurant we expected some guidance and recomendations on the menu but the server barely spent any time with us. On top of that, the menu was almost satire like and didn't explain what some of the items were, but rather listed "unlike any soup you have ever had". Finally our server came over to us and we ordered, waited 40 minutes for 2 soups, bread, and a side salad. To say we were disapointed was an understatement. The soups were TINY and the bowl itself fit into the palm of my hand. For $16 and $20 soups I would expected something bigger as half the menu was some kind of soup/stew dish. I looked around and other people's entree soups were just as small. This was not advertised or discussed as an appetizer but rather a main course. The soup itself was literally just broth, a little bit of rice, and a few piece of beef. My partner's soup was actually decent but his was even smaller/more pricey so the size and the price made us feel like we got completely ripped off. The georgian salad I got was FULL of onions and unbearable to eat and the bread my partner got was dense and flavorless. The cherry on top was that we ended up spending $70 on two CUPS of soup, bread, and a side salad. All terrible. The server barely paid any attention to us, he didn't ask if we liked our meal/check in with us or explain to us what the "winter soup" that my partner got would cost as it said market price on the menu. I called the owner today to express my feedback considering we live in the neighborhood and would like this place to work out and he did absoutely nothing to rectify the situation. He barely listened to me and kept interrupting me on the phone. I will not be going back. Terrible experience. read more

Fascinating and tasty Georgian food, charming decor, very busy- and increasingly noisy , and quite helpful waiter. There is an app to see photos of menu items- great sense of humor. We were sampling a variety of vegan dishes and we liked all of them. Especially the eggplant dish. And some stuffed bread sort of pizza was quite delicious. Surprisingly great tea made in a French press, enough for all to sample. Parking several blocks away but this was Saturday around 5pm. Looking forward to visiting again and trying more items! read more

I just recently ate of this beautiful and amazing restaurant. The service was spectacular. The decor is like going to europe. And the food was very Authentic. This is great for a date night. Must do. read more

Wow, just wow! First time my husband and I have had Georgian food and it did not disappoint! We got the eggplant roll appetizer, a khachapuri and a stew. We were raving about it all! The ambiance is also so cozy, there are samovars hanging from the ceiling, warm lamps at the table, and such good energy. Our server Claudia was really the icing on the cake--she was so kind and thoughtful! She showed us pictures of dishes we were unfamiliar with and not only gave great advice about what to get, but she was genuinely excited about us trying the new dishes! Our favorite neighborhood restaurant now in University Heights and will be back hopefully in the very near future to try more dishes! read more

Our experience at this Georgian restaurant was very disappointing. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, the atmosphere already felt strange. No one greeted us at the entrance, and the servers kept walking by without reacting to the fact that new guests had arrived. That itself was not a problem for us -- we saw an empty table and seated ourselves. The negative experience started after that. Even then, no one came to us for quite a while, until an older man asked why we looked confused. We told him that we were waiting for a menu. He replied in Russian that someone would bring it, and shortly after that a waitress finally came over with the menu. However, sitting at the table was extremely unpleasant because it smelled strongly like an old dirty rag. What also really ruined the impression was the overall atmosphere of the place. It did not feel like a Georgian restaurant, but more like something from a post-Soviet setting. There was Russian symbolism on the walls, along with tasteless and pointless phrases in the style of crude Russian humor. For us, that felt especially inappropriate and unpleasant. After waiting a long time, no server ever came to take our order, so we left disappointed and went to another restaurant. Our friends also had a negative experience at this place -- they were at least served, but their impression was negative as well. We decided to see the quality and level of this restaurant for ourselves, but unfortunately it was a mistake. After this experience, I absolutely cannot recommend this place. I wish this business growth, positive changes, and a complete farewell to this outdated Soviet-Russian atmosphere. read more

So many good things to say about this place! The food is very unique and tasty! I got the salad sampler and the adjaruli and both were amazing. Highly recommend ordering both. The staff was very friendly and made it a special atmosphere. Very excited to have this new restaurant in the neighborhood! read more

Food is soooo good - the menu descriptions were a bit lacking, but they are funny, and it didn't even matter because when the food hit our lips, we were in awe with the aroma, and bountiful flavor!!! Everything we tried was delicious, from the cheesy bread, all the salads, and chicken - all on point! The drinks were refreshing (tarragon soda and Georgian white wine) Even the dessert was out of this world - not too sweet, but still rich and satisfying. I am still dreaming of the cheesy bread! Not to mention, the friendly service! And relaxing atmosphere on the outside porch dining at sunset. Very romantic! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! read more

The food was horrible. Me and my wife who is from Georgia herself decided to try this place out. This are dishes that we had. 1) eggplant rolls - were flavorful but too salty. 2) imeruli khachapuri - didn't look or taste like khachapuri. 3) chanakhi - lamb was overcooked but stew was flavorful. There no wine list. We asked if they serve wine They asked which one we want and got us a bottle with no wine glasses. We were given Tumber Glass - which is ideal for savoring vodka. I don't know if they license to sell liquor but I'll find out. The environment is good, jazz music playing in the background. The best part was the waiter Anton- who is very interesting and entertaining character. The worst part was the food and the owner Marco - who is a creepy individual with repulsive personality. That's my schpiel for the day read more

Of the restaurants I've remembered to leave a review for. This is most definitely one of the best. The food is absolutely incredible, the service so friendly and knowledgeable, and has a pleasantly casual but elevated vibe, you can absolutely come here casually or for a nicer occasion all the same. The music is playing from an actual record player. But if you only care about food being delicious. Pick this one, this is the one you're looking for. read more

Stepping into this restaurant was like being teleported to another country in the best way. Each table has a unique lamp and hand painted table design which is such a special touch. There is both indoor and covered outdoor seating. The owner was so friendly and shared his recommendations and beverage pairings to make sure I had a great first experience. The menu is hilarious and filled with personality. We ordered a variety of dishes that were generously sized and all delicious. They even brought us a special off-menu dessert. We will definitely be back to try more of this unique, authentic menu! read more

the food is terrible here, if you want a normal khachapuri go to Pomegranate Russian-Georgian Restaurant. At least it tastes and looks a lot better.The owner- Marco is not pleasant type either. read more

The food is fabulous! Love the eggplant rolls, pumpkiani, lotion all the finger food! Dumplings, stew, & khachapuri.

A delicious new find in University Heights. The interior has a warm and welcome feeling that feels like you got transported to someone's home. It's difficult to choose what to get. The server provided recommendations and we ultimately choose the Lousy Zakuskebi, adjaruli, and chanakhi. Each dish was full of flavor. I recommend sharing entres to maximize the culinary experience. Marco, the owner, is friendly and happy to chat. Excited for this new place and going back again soon! read more
