The food was good but there was only two server for an almost full place. I liked the ambiance.

One of my favorite places while visiting Toronto! If it's your first time eating here - do come very hungry because you will want to try everything! Definitely order a pitcher of fruit kompot! We had yellow cherry and kizil - delicious! Soup harcho is always a crowd pleaser with us! Chebureki for appetizer are amazing- don't rush biting into them - it's hot inside . Khachapuri - yes please- even if you are already stuffed! And finally- kabob! Lamb Kebob! Double yes please read more

I haven't ever tried Georgian food, not even once did I consider it in my life. Yes I have had their delicious wines but never their cuisine and what a delicious surprise it was. We saw this place which was down the street from our house and decided to give it a go. My wife and I both didn't know what to expect and nor did we even know where to start when it came to ordering food off the menu. The waitress was so helpful and she guided us through the menu with patience. She was excited for us to try it for our first time. The place was packed with people eating and drinking wine. We started off with the white house wine which wasn't bad at all and the Harcho which was a traditional Georgian soup with beef, rice, herbs, and spices. It was very comforting, true soul food. The rice was a little over cooked in the soup but it was still enjoyable. Had a beautiful array of spices that worked well. Another dish ordered was the Khachapuri Adjaruli which was a boat-shaped bread filled with melted cheese and topped with an egg. This was heavenly. The waitress showed us how to eat it and mixed the egg and cheese for us on top. The bread itself was light, airy, yet chewy, basically perfect. The cheese and egg yolk on top was an amazing mixture and combined with this bread hands down almost perfect combination. We both loved it. Let's not forget the Khinkali which were dumplings with ground beef are like soup dumplings on steroids. Biting this almost raw twisted knob off the top of the dumpling and sucking back the juices inside was divine. Simple straight forward taste of beef and it's juices in your mouth down to your soul. I did try Megrelian Kharcho "SARCO" which had Beef, mushrooms, bacon, walnuts, and spices. This was my least favourite dish and one I didn't enjoy very much. This walnut sauce was very bitter and astringent. Leaving a foul taste in my mouth. I guarantee I will be back here again and this time with friends who have never tried Georgian Cuisine and have no desire because they will thank me later. read more

Our first dine-in since COVID! Very excited and Sarko didn't disappoint us :) We saw this place in last winter and it's been on our to-go list ever since. I've never had Georgian food, and from their menu they look very tempting. We ordered one cold and three hot appetizers, plus one entree. Badrijani (eggplant roll): it was yummy. It tasted like mince wrapped by eggplant, although on the menu it says it's walnut paste inside. If you like eggplant you should try this. Crepes and Cheburek were good too. Both contained grounded beef. Megrelian Kharsho: at a first look I thought it was beef curry, but the taste was very different; I could taste beans and nuts from the sauce. The flavor was rather special. The beef was very tender. We later on asked to add a Georgian bread to go with the entree. Oh my gosh you have to try their traditional bread, it was fresh made and so good! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love handmade bread and their bread was my type. This was a great Georgian food tasting experience! The waitress was very nice. Worth to revisit. read more

Wow. Ok, so this place goes above and beyond for you.. you can legit order anything off the menu and they'll make it for you! I wanted a side of just fried potatoes with a bit of veggies and they did that for me without any issues. Otherwise, all the food was very delicious, along with lots of variety and really nice staff. Definitely going to come back here! read more

Authentic Georgian food at very reasonable prices. For the two of us, we ordered Badrijani eggplant appetiser, Gebshalia cheese appetiser, staffed peppers, magrelian harcho, loaf of freshly baked lavash bread, and a bottle of Georgian red wine. We shared everything, and I really liked the appetizers and staffed peppers. The harcho was just ok, too much meat and no veggies. Service was fast, even though the restaurant was full on Sat night. The final bill with the tip was under $140, so this place is a nice find. read more

My review is based on 2 items that I ate at Sarko - Megrelian Kharcho and Khchapuri Megruli. Both were excellent and mouth-watering. Especially, Megrelian Kharcho was to die for. Flavourful and tasty. Khchapuri Megruli was equally tasty and waaaaay better than any pizza. I was stuffed after this meal and even took leftovers home for later. While I'm no expert in Georgian food, Sarko knocks it out of the park with their Georgian food. Their dishes are tasty and flavourful. Certainly just as good if not better than the Georgian food I had in Moscow and St Petersburg at Georgian restaurants a couple of years ago. The people running this restaurant deserve a solid "5-star" rating. ! ! read more

Summary: A pretty pricey kabob, around $20/person after tax and tip. This is a Georgian place. I am not that familiar with Georgian food, but I am definitely pretty familiar with kabob. To me, the kabob is good but pretty expensive. It is my first time trying Georgian food and ordered what next table is having: lamb kabob and chicken kabob. It came out in a metal hanger, which is pretty cool. The kabob tastes pretty good. This restaurant looks pretty nice, it has nice decor. There is bear at door. However, I don't think I would come back here. read more

First time trying this Jewel today, and I think they got me hooked and this will be my new favourite place in town! The atmosphere is very nice and inviting, warm and cozy! Service was good as well, friendly and fast. I tried their Georgian mushroom w/cheese, along with a Lamb skewer with Salad and it was all just delicious! read more

I came in with great expectations, and as the case with such things usually is, I came out disappointed. 10/10 for the service, and the food presentation. The food itself however... It was ok. I would have rated the place 4 stars, if what I ate was much cheaper, however for this much, I'd expect the meat itself to be of much higher quality - it was a cheap cut, disguised with a variety of spices. Will probably repeat, due to lack of other options in the area. read more

First time that I been to a Georgian restaurant and the dishes blew me away. Though coming in I did not know what to expect, the different dishes that I experienced were good. However because it is quite pricey than the norm, some may battle with internal struggles with whether some things are worth paying for or not. Must try is the egg and bread dish - where the egg is in the middle of the bread and you supposedly dip inside the egg with the bread when you tear it apart. Plus the dumplings are very good kinda like soup dumplings but gigantic. Overall experience has been pleasant, nice decor inside the restaurant and it greets you with a bear (scary). I would definitely give this place a try again in the future. read more

It used to be good before. I think they change a cook. We order food out and were very disappointed with dry overcooked shish kabab (Shashlik) Very Salty and ridiculously over peppered food. We end up dumping it. I called the restaurant and asked to speak with owner and or manager to complain and was told "they are not available, you can complain to cook". Around a month later our friends invited us to visit this place again and our frustration had no limits. Every ordered dish tasted like solid salt rock with a lot of spices, Usually when food is not fresh the kitchen instead of dumping it out adds salt and spices. I would not recommend this place read more

This is a really cute place with Georgian decorations and art throughout. It's a little small and there are booths as well as tables. The booth seating is a bit tight so I would prefer to sit at the tables. I ordered the kharcho (Georgian soup) which is delicious and basic khachapuri which was really good (cheese baked within puff pastry dough). The service is a bit slow but atleast the food is cooked fresh. I did find that their prices are a bit higher compared to Suliko, the other Georgian restaurant nearby. I found that their kharchos were both similar but Suliko has a slightly better khachapuri. Loved the water jugs that they had and their serving platters, which were really nice and gave the place a more authentic Georgian feel. The place is very clean! read more

As the foremost expert in Georgian food in Canada I can authoritatively state that... er ... hold on right there. Actually, it was my first time at a Georgian restaurant... so everything I write is strictly from an amateur perspective. Yes, skip over this review. Why are you reading it? My first time at a Georgian restaurant was a mixed experience. The restaurant is nicely and traditionally decorated. They have both tables and booths. Unfortunately, they have TVs hanging from the ceiling reducing their atmosphere and vibe of an actual restaurant. I appreciate the effort. There is a bear on a tree greeting (shooing away?) customers at the door. The washroom is clean. The service was kind and the cute blonde waitress was friendly and happy to help. Prices were not bad. It seems a little expensive given what I ordered, but they have made an effort at establishing an ambiance and something different. So how was the food? Well, again I have no baseline to go off of, but I ordered the staple Khachapuri which is egg on a dough with cheese inside (now we know who the corporate pizzerias ripped off). It was under-cooked and not crispy. Presumably this is on purpose to accommodate the cheese and egg. The kabob was similar to Turkish kabobs. It is good, but I prefer Iranian kabobs. The dumplings were really good on the inside and not so on the outside. In other words, the wrapper was thick and could be cut with a knife. The beef inside was tasty and had a nice spiciness to it. It also contained soup like xiaolongbao! Would I go back? Sure. Am I dying to? No. read more

Below average Georgian restaurant Nicely designed place with reproductions of famous Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani and some other ethnic decor elements. Slow, but friendly service. However in other Georgian restaurants in Vaughan you could get much better value and better service. Kebabs are not tender enough. Seems to me that something important is missing, so the dishes are "boring", they are lacking unique touch. Doesn't worth to visit. read more

When we noticed that a new Georgian restaurant opened in our neighborhood, we immediately decided to go there with my parents - my father loves Georgian cuisine. I have mixed impression about our visit, may be we just had high expectations... Let's start with the service, it was friendly but a bit disorganized. For example, our dish was sent to some other table and nobody even noticed this until my husband complained. The ambiance and decorations are quite nice, not sure though how I feel about black bear taxidermy... As for the food, it was a hit and miss. We liked appetizers: baked mushrooms and eggplant rolls with walnut were really good, satsivy was ok. We weren't that happy with the main dish, lamb shish kebab was very chewy, lobio was plain and tasteless, the only dish that we liked was chicken in harcho sauce. We will try to visit this place in a couple of months, hopefully the owners will pay attention to patrons' feedback and things will improve. read more

I am pretty familiar with the Georgian culture and cuisine. I really loved the decor, it felt like home and was authentic. I had khinkali and kharcho, and I liked it. I wish they could use authentic Georgian cheese for khachapuri, since I find it is the beauty of it. But they can't do anything if it is not accessible. I would go there again, though. read more

It is a nice and cozy restaurant. I was impressed by the interior decoration and paintings on the wall once entered the restaurant. I took a few pictures even before I was being seated. Then quickly I was greeted by a friendly staff. We ordered three dishes, crepes with beef, chicken bbq skewer and an order of beef dumplings. I liked all three of them, but my favorite one is the crepes. It is crispy on the outside and very soft in the inside filled with curry beef. This dish go very well with sour cream. It is an appetizer, but next time I will have 2 orders and serve them as main. The chicken skewer, although it is bbq, the meat is moist and tender, it was marinated and cooked just right. Love it too. As for beef dumplings , I had too many because of my upbringing, so although they are good, it didn't give me the WOW feeling. But definitely I will go back for the bbq and crepes. read more

THE WORST SERVICE WE HAVE EVER RECIEVED!!! We came a party of 13 people. Apparently the kitchen staff weren't ready for a big party or people even though we reserved ahead of time. We were waiting for our food for almost 2 hours. To top of it off, they were out of most of there food we ordered. After waiting for 20 minutes the waitress notified us that they don't have what we wanted! Very disappointing! We also didn't get any compansation and no appology! DO NOT GO THERE!!!! read more

My Husband took me to this Authentic Georgian restaurant! Best food ever! I love the soup Karcho and the chicken stewards and French fries!

We learned about the restaurant from some Russian guy and went there for a lunch on Sunday. What a pleasant surprise! The interior is very pleasant with some Georgian paintings on the walls, designer wood tables, pleasant music... The menu turned out to be quite attractive too. The lamb shashlik was delicious and looked like a piece of art. Other dishes we have ordered were quite tasty too. The waitress (Ana) is very nice and friendly. We'll definitely return to this restaurant with our friends. It's nice to have such a cozy place near our home. read more

The decor is nice, however, the place is freezing cold and the service is extremely slow! I have ordered a table for 10 people and it took them over two hours to serve us our order, we were tired of waiting and decided to cancel the order as it took way to long. The waitress was extremely rude, she was arguing with us as to the quality of the food and the time it takes to prepare it. Also, a lot of the dishes were not avaiblse and we were advised about that after 10 minutes from the time of the order. The waitress had no clue on what the dishes were and what was going on in the kitchen. In addition, the table besides us was getting food nonstop. I was never treated so bad in a restaurant. Very disappointed!! Will not recommend it at all!!!!! read more
