Our waiter could not do enough to ensure that we had a lovely meal and experience in the restaurant. Even moved us to a better table to have more room. Will definitely recommend and be back. Thank you

Last 2 times have been disappointing. Sad but it’s lost its charm. Very rushed service even though it’s not very busy no need to serve main course while one still clearly eats starter (salad). Even though we asked could we please have a little break between starter and main. Unfortunately main arrived while we were half way through started. Exactly the same thing happened on our previous visit. Server was nice, polite and attentive. But kitchen staff cooks way too fast. 3 stars 🌟 all together.

Excellent experience both in terms of the food and the unique Georgian wines offered (and the recommendations in respect thereof from the staff) and also in conversations with the staff as to history and traditions of the culture. Would go back next time I’m in London.
