"Offering something original to the Charlotte Street dining scene, this trendy restaurant takes its name from the Georgian dish khinkali. These dumplings come with a ‘handle’ at the top and fillings could include langoustines, pumpkin or beef. Accompanying the khinkali are a selection of Georgian-influenced small and large plates, from chkmeruli to pkhali. Keep the night going with a trip to Kinky, their basement bar serving a selection of creative cocktails, accompanied by a techno soundtrack and the same fabulous buzz as the restaurant." - Michelin Inspector

Kinkally - Review - Fitzrovia - London - The Infatuation

"Kinkally is a Georgian restaurant in Fitzrovia that could double as a Bond villain’s lair. It’s very cool, very dark, and very photogenic, but the dishes are hit and miss. Get the tender guinea fowl or meltingly soft baked aubergine and you can have a good time at this Charlotte Street spot, sitting next to a collection of branches which are dangling in mid-air like an art exhibit. The Georgian wines are also excellent, and after a few glasses you and a group can all but drown out the music, which is actually a soundscape featuring rainfall, the occasional haunting pipe, a rattle here, and some drum beats there. The khinkali themselves are disappointing—small, underfilled and stingy on broth—but this isn’t where you go for comforting Georgian classics. Instead, go for Instagram story content, a fun, subterranean bar, and the sort of stripy black and white dumplings that'd please Beetlejuice. photo credit: Kinkally photo credit: Sinéad Cranna photo credit: Sinéad Cranna Pause Unmute" - Sinéad Cranna

One of the most amazing (and interesting) pistachio ice cream I had! Also, the food was perfect! We had the aubergine and golden beetroot in small plates (the beetroot was 10/10 with the bread). Then we had the khachapuri, also amazing! And then for the Georgian dumplings or “kinkally”, we had the one with Langoustine in wasabi-ish sauce. If you love seafood and wasabi, this is the one for you! 👌

Reasonably priced for central London and amazing Georgian food! Every dish was delicious. We got the beef tartar, the beetroot, and the aubergine to start. The aubergine was the highlight of the starters - soft but still crispy. For large plates, we got what looked like a pizza. Then for the dumplings, we got wagyu and langoustine. I liked both dumplings, but the soup inside them was the star - not too hot! Service wise, Ignas and Diane were attentive and really kind to speak with! We had great conversations with them both, and loved their help/recommendations on food! Will be back again soon!

This was an amazingly positive and surprising experience! My Georgian friend and I were not sure what to expect, and every dish we picked was interesting and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the dumplings, which the restaurant is named after and the aubergines. The price was also reasonable given we were fairly full at the end and it was all good quality. We did not order any alcohol, as we'd already had a drink before. My only reservation is that we had not reserved and therefore were sitting by the area where staff was placing dirty dishes, and there were a few disruptive incidents with glasses smashed, etc. So I suggest a reservation to have the perfect night!

Excellent restaurant that I would say borders on fine dining. Some interesting and delightful flavours in many of the dishes. It's not cheap, but I'd definitely say it's worth it. I would recommend the pate (stunningly good) and beef tartare as small plates. The oxtail khachapuri is a good one to fill you up a bit, it's certainly tasty and though it doesn't have the delicate touch of the small plates, it's a good value for money option. The mussel and langoustine kinkalis just edged out the wagyu one for me. Of the two desserts, I'd say the blueberry and marscapone one was better. The pistachio and black pepper flavours came through in the ice cream nicely but it was a little too salty and not sweet enough for me. The service was excellent from start to finish: friendly, proactive and professional. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a modern style and is very well upkept.

The ambience is delightful. Not stuffy, very relaxed but classy. The staff are really helpful and know their stuff. The food is beautiful, very different to anything you may have had around the area, a perfect opportunity to open your mind and palette. The venison and beef tartare are standout, but everything is delicious. Definitely visit if you’re looking for a nice meal, and especially if you’re after something different from the norm.

Got the set menu and it was a ton of food and we got free wine too which we couldn’t finish cuz we had the yummy cocktails instead. Dumplings had soup in them which was cool like Chinese dumplings. All the small plates had nice flavours and good quality ingredients. The octopus was super soft and not fishy. All was Very saucy which I love too.

Had no reservations but was just me so lucked out and got a table. Food was amazing. Aubergine was spot on. Beef skewer was flavourful and tender. Salad on the side really contrasted well to counter the fattiness. Khinkali was great too. Thanks to Ignas and I didnt get the other servers name but both were super attentive and cool to chat to. Popped downstairs to the bar and that was also perfect to wrap up a chill night. Very fun choices for drinks and bartenders were super attentive and sweet. Thank you!

We came here for my boyfriends birthday meal and it did not disappoint! We had the pleasure of sitting on the chefs counter, their attention to detail was incredible and all the food was delicious. I couldn’t even pick a favourite dish they were all that good. But the steak tartar, aubergine, cauliflower khinkali & guinea fowl were stand out dishes. We tried a bottle of Georgian wine and we enjoyed it. We really appreciated the kind gesture of complimentary dessert wine for my boyfriend’s birthday. Really talented chefs and brilliant service from Ignas! If you love trying new foods and flavours I can’t recommend Kinkally enough.
