Georgian Kitchen In Tartu

Good position, near the town hall, the service was perfect, even the food was good, the taste is of authentic Georgian food. The unique thing I didn't like was furniture, it looked like an office

Looks and feels like authentic, family run Georgian restaurant. We visited as a group of four. As it was rather warm summer evening, we would have liked seating outside, however their terrace was closed. Inside there was only one other party. Older lady served us, she didn't speak any Estonian, we didn't bother trying with English either it was quite obvious that she was fluent only in Georgian and in Russian. I ordered turkey with cheese and mushrooms, based on the menu there was option for 1/2 portion and full serving. I requested the smaller portion, however received, what I suppose, was the large one. I wouldn't even mention it but half of the portion would have been half the cheaper as well. I didn't bother sorting it out at paid the full price language barrier was the obvious issue and to be fair food was excellent. My turkey was delicious, covered with lots of cream and cheese, portion was large on its own, my diet and cholesterol levels certainly weren't happy but I did enjoy every bite of it and finished off the plate completely. We also had hatchapuri that was equally delicious. I did had a taste what my friends had ordered and have to compliment the kitchen every dish had its unique flavour and flavouring. Quite often it happens that kitchen tries to get away easily and half of the stuff has very similar taste profile. Also when food arrived to the table it was HOT. Literally so hot that it was inedible and you would have to wait 5...10 minutes before you can dig in. What did disappoint me was drink selection. Only bottled water, no tap water available, they had some Georgian lemonades in selection, tho these are full of sugar. They had a Georgian beer and some local etc tho free tap water and maybe some low calorie drink options would have been nice as well. Bottom line: would recommend, the food is excellent tho quality of service is lacking a bit and mainly because the staff did not speak Estonian or English.

Chicken šašlyk was exceptionally good, but mushrooms in a pot were a bit bland, otherwise very cool and cosy atmosphere, not too expensive

Authentic Georgian food. Tasty. Nice and fast service.

Meat in all 3 dishes was old, had bad texture and taste. The waiter was not welcoming no words of greeting, no wishes of bon appetit. Can not recommend.
