I was really excited to find a Georgian restaurant close to my hotel, as I love Georgian cuisine. Well, I was at least able to start off with a decent Saperavi,but it was all downhill after that, hačupuri was like a microwave cheese pizza, and pork neck šašlik was dry, chewy, and flavorless. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable, but that is not why I went to the restaurant. I went for Georgian cuisine, and I will not make that mistake twice.

I've visited twice now and the food has been excellent both times. For me dairy free is a must, and the menu is very clear on what is suitable for me, which was a positive surprise as I initially thought all dishes would be based on dairy. The dumplings are quite different to the ones in the Chinese restaurants, but something I have really enjoyed the taste of and will probably continue to take as a "starter". Chicken with vegetables (I don't recall the exact name as I'm writing this) was what I chose today, and it was probably some of the best chicken I've eaten in a very long time.

The food is really good (the eggplant rolls with walnut paste and the chocolate cake are among my very favorites), the atmosphere is really nice and the service is amazing! I spent my birthday here with my friends and we all really enjoyed it!

This place is good. I appreciate that the Georgian restaurant exists in Turku since I'm a big fan of Georgian food. It wasn't easy to find. The restaurant sign is black and I didn't see it. It's on the 2nd floor, but I didn't see signs. First thing you see, when your entrance is toilet... It is weird. The waiter was nice. He was always around and ready to help. Food: I went here for vegetarian khinkali, but in this day they didn't have it. In some dishes, they used too much pepper. They serve a bottle of water, it helped. I liked Georgian music a lot.

Delicious food that is full of taste. It was totally unexpected and a nice surprise. The portions are really big, so be ready for sharing. We took the tasting menu for obe person less than our group size, and still we were really full. It was difficult to decide what our favorite dissh was. The georgian red wine was excellent.
