this is the worst cafe! the cuisine is terrible, prepared from old products, the meat was carried over with a smell, the soup was sour, the only thing you could eat was the bread, the staff was rude. I don’t recommend it!, this is not a cafe, this is a snack bar at the station where they want to poison you. This is the opinion we still have!

Really wanted to try this restaurant, but the cigarette smell destroyed the experience.Couldn't stay here even for a 5 minutes. Chose different place to eat

Yikes. Went with friends. Some items are served cold. Zero flavor. Lots of salt. The server was grumpy. No water refill. They are smoking in the back of the restaurant. Probably why they have dividers on each table.

Well, the food is okay. Nothing special but not bad. Service is like from 90s.

People at the table next to ours were smoking cigarettes one after another, if you like your khinkalis in the place that smells like an ashtray and "Владимирский централ" on their playlist than look no further. Khinkalis were good, but the waitress was unfriendly, and sending me "hurry up finish your food and GTFO" type of vibe. Not sure what her deal was. Anyways, I would not come back. Now time to go do laundry to get rid of the cigarette smell that came complimentary from this joint.

This was one of our most memorable restaurant experiences, but not for many good reasons. We got most of our food quickly but not the rest until an hour later. We have had Georgian food elsewhere, and this was not great. A few dishes like spinach phkali and Chakapuli were oversalted. The bread was great. The lobio khachapuri had undercooked raw dough. The compote seemed like jarred cherries mixed with water..for $12. Our bill came to $110 for a tiny chicken thigh in stewed veggies, five tablespoons of lamb in stew, compote, bread, lobio and phkali. We eat out in NYC, Portland, etc and were shocked. And as others mention, smoking is allowed inside fyi.

Smelled like a gentleman’s smoke bar more than a restaurant. When asked why is that, I was told that it’s licensed liquor bar also ( must be a new logic I’m not familiar with) and the owner likes to smoke ?The food was ok, prices are not to horrible, but I would not go there again, especially with family.

Love this place! Good selection, authentic taste, reasonable pricing. Service is not typical for US, which makes it even more authentic.

Like all the other comments cigarettes smell were overwhelming and destroyed the whole experience in this restaurant. So be ready to swim in the cigarettes. On another note food was super fresh and delicious. Quantity is reasonable for the price. Just not option of vegetarian/ vegan in the main dishes. Only few options in the salads section. Bread was very tasty and be careful the bread with beans also have cheese.Vegetarian options: Very few choices in the salad section.

When you enter this restaurant you feel like you’re in a different country. It gives me that home away from home feeling. We decided to try a few dishes including the khachapuri imeruli which was good, the khinkali which was really juicy and filling and two other meat dishes but I can’t remember their names. Over all it was good, I will be back. The only reason I’m giving four stars is because I was expecting a bit more from the meat dishes, but I’ll try some more!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to find some very traditional Armenian dishes. The soups take a long time to cook so they are only available at certain times or through advance orders
