Modern 1BR In The Heart of Batumi

The eggplant and tomato dish they recommended was a favorite, and the wines were incredible too. The staff were especially warm and welcoming, while still being very respectful. With such good value for the price, this has become a place I'll visit whenever I'm here. I'd absolutely recommend it. Thank you 🤍

For our first dinner, we ordered Chikhirtma (chicken soup), baked eggplant, veal shashlik, and Khachapuri (the rounded one). Everything was delicious. The Georgian beer was really nice too, and the lemonade was fine. Nata, our waitress, speaks Turkish really well and gave us great food advice. She was genuinely helpful, even telling us we had enough food for three and shouldn't order more. We were very satisfied and probably couldn't have picked a better place for our first night.

Speaking as a chef with over 22 years in the business, this is just my own experience. We found the restaurant easily and were seated right away without a reservation, which made sense in winter when it was probably quieter. The design is beautiful and the atmosphere was relaxed. They handed us paper menus, which I don't think suits this style of restaurant, though it's acceptable. We had chicken soup, kebab, pork shishlik, steamed rice, mashed potatoes, Georgian beer, and cola. The beer was excellent. The soup was tasty and a highlight, the pork shishlik was good, and the rice and mashed potatoes were very well done. Most of the food was generally well prepared, but portions felt small, almost stingy, and several dishes weren't served hot enough. The kebab had so much garlic that it threw the flavors off. One service detail felt odd: the waitress brought my wife a bottle of cola unopened, while she opened my beer. Maybe that's local custom. The bill came to 84 GEL, which felt expensive by Batumi standards for the food we got. It may be that other dishes are what the restaurant does best. I might return to try something else. I do recommend a visit, but suggest checking photos online first to see the portion sizes.

The food was delicious, and we enjoyed everything. It's a cute, authentic restaurant with a warm, family-like feel, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were friendly and attentive. Anyone coming to Batumi should try it!
