KINTO Cozy & Authentic Georgian Restaurant

We went here for my birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. The food was so high quality and delicious. Everything we got was amazing. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. My three favorite dishes were - the cheese bread with egg, the walnut stew, and the cheese rolls dessert. Everything was so good and we'd come back.

Had a great dinner here. The service from both staff members was fantastic, informative, friendly and helpful, and the food was so flavorful, comforting, and hearty. We had the ajapsandali (eggplant) salad, chvishtari (we had the cornbread arancini balls with cheese), lobiani (bean stuffed bread), mini khinkali in pode (chicken dumplings in a delicious garlicky, sour cream broth) and sacivi, a walnut stew with chicken. We also ordered pelamushi, or grape pudding, for desert. Everything was SO good and I will absolutely be coming back!! Thank you so much!

It was great place . We had such a great food and dining experience . Food tastes amazing . Staff is really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu they have . They told me that everything is made inside restaurants from zero. They try to make everything as you would expect to be made. I tried ever we had in Georgia myself before . I can give you guarantee that it does taste same . Awesome thank you guys for having us.

From the start, service was amazing, the ambiance and decor is beautiful. But the food!!!! The food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the eggplant rolls, soup dumplings, beef stew, and lamb kebabs. Definitely going to come back with all of my friends! LOVE this place! ❤️🤍❤️🤍

Incredible meal and service! My family of 10 came for a holiday family dinner. Service was friendly and well paced. Anna was lovely and answered all of our questions. I can’t even recommend anything specific because everything was PHENOMENAL. Highly recommend going and we will definitely visit again.

Honestly was so pleasantly surprised how good the food was. We walked in around 5:30 pretty empty for Friday but filled up fast with reservations. The staff was very friendly and informative! Food delicious.

Super beautiful place, fantastic food and wonderful service! This was the first time we've tried Georgian food, and we definitely want to come back. :)

first time trying georgian food and we were not disappointed! so many options, and everything was so flavorful and delicious! very unique food experience, would definitely recommend :)

Everything was amazing! Highly recommend! We got the dips, soup, and a couple large plates. It was all perfect. The best Georgian food in Philadelphia!

Great food, very helpful and kind staff. Good ambiance. the chicken petite is fantastic

I've never been to a Georgian restaurant before nor have I ever had Georgian food so we decided to order modestly just in case. We ordered the Georgian Salad, the Chashusuli and the Napoleon Cake (just because the waiter was so convincing). The salad, while so simple, was very good. The vegetables are crisp and fresh and the salad dressing was so tasty. I wish I could have bought a bottle of it. We had the Chashusuli with cauliflower (next time I'll try meat). Omg, it is so, so good! You get the tang of the tomato sauce with an underlying mildly sweet taste. So much flavor. Now I've never had a Napoleon so I don't know what it's supposed to taste like but it was light and not too sweet which I really enjoyed. The restaurant is quite nice and has a great vibe. They were playing music through the restaurant and we overheard another table ask them if it was traditional Georgian music, which it wasn't, but they did turn it on for all to hear what it sounds like. Loved that!

This was my first time having Georgian food in years and this place did not disappoint! From the food, to the service, to the beautifully decorated interior, I love this place. We were told that this restaurant just opened back in the summer time and I am looking forward to seeing how this place grows! It's off of a Main Street so parking might be a little challenging but the food is definitely worth it. If there was anything that I would mention, prices were fair but they did charge us $8 for a seltzer water which was a bit of a turn off. Otherwise, great experience!

Honestly, this is a perfect spot. Great ambiance, incredible food, central location, fast and friendly service, byob, reasonable prices. This is the kind of restaurant that will make you WANT to eat out. I'll be shocked if I can still get a table here without a reservation in 2 months. The interior is comfortable and luxurious with soft velvety seating, beautiful dark green tea lights and gold utensils. For food, absolute standout was the georgian salad. Everything was very elegantly plated, I feel like the photos don't do it justice. Looking forward to trying more dishes next visit.

We were looking to grab dinner before a performance nearby, and stumbled upon this restaurant. We love Georgian food, but usually have to travel to the Northeast, so we're pleasantly surprised to read the sidewalk signage with dinner specials listed. The restaurant is sleek and new with nice ambient lighting. We were seated at a cozy table in the window, our server was attentive and friendly. We were familiar with some of the popular dishes on the menu, but saw a few unfamiliar dishes, and went with a few of them. The cheesy bread with egg was so good. Stuffed cabbage didn't taste like the Polish version we know, the filling was tender and melted in your mouth, the salad was flavorful and refreshing, the soup was amazing. Even if people don't really know much about Georgian cuisine, I really hope that they will give this restaurant a try. Oh- and it's a BYOB.

I ordered at 6:18pm, my meal arrived at around 8:40... no courtesy call, and on top of that the salad looked nothing like what I ordered in the photos. This is my first time ordering... and will be my last.

This place is fantastic. The interior is really really nice and the bar decor is cool. We had the Pkhali Trio (green bean, eggplant, spinach), the Khinkali (soup dumplings), and Shkmeruli. Everything was really delicious but the Shkmeruli stole the show, I want to drizzle that sauce on everything I eat from now on. The dessert someone else got looked amazing but I was too full to try it! The staff were all really nice and wanted to make sure we had a good time and enjoyed our food. This place is amazing and when they get their liquor license I'm sure they'll make good drinks.

Every dish we tried tonight was amazing! Everything came out super hot and all of the flavors were fresh! We had never tried Georgian food so this was a great introduction! The server was very attentive and gave great recommendations! I want to come weekly!

Second time here. Great food, reasonable prices. Restaurant is cozy and service is good.

So my only hesitation in posting a review is that by doing so I will be helping to ensure that the next time I try to eat here I won't be able to get a reservation. This place is simply amazing. If you are vegetarian, vegan, lactose intolerant you will still find something delicious to eat. Everything we had to eat was wonderful and unique. So just to cover everything: Pkihali trio (delicious walnut heavy dips with yummy herbs); eggplant roll (think eggplant meets Georgian dip); Georgian salad (best dressing and fresh herbs); Adjaruli Khachapuri (if you like bread and cheese this is a MUST); Kinkhali mushroom dumplings (so savory); chicken kebab and chicken skewers so good but skewers is more pure chicken vs. like a kafta (ground chicken). Will definitely be returning!

Came here for dinner. I had no idea what Georgian food was so it was a little adventure. The interior was beautiful. Dimly lit but not so much so that you couldn't read a menu. Music was on in the background but at a comfortable volume so you could have conversation with out straining or shouting. Clearly the staff are well practiced at giving every new patron an overview of Georgian food, culture, and anything else you want to know as they went into detail describing dishes and more. We started with meat soup dumplings. Our server had to explain to us how to eaten them (use the twisted end as a handle to pick it up. Bite in and drink the soup inside. Don't use a knife or fork) These were delicious. The dough of the dumpling was tender with a perfect chew. Meat and soup were perfectly seasoned. I then had the cabbage rolls (I admit it, I played it safe. Won't do that next time) Well seasoned in a delicious tomato sauce. My son had the Cornish hen, which he loved (and didn't give me a taste ) This is a BYOB. I'm already planning my next trip. Highly recommended!!

Wife and I loved this place. Have tried a few Georgian restaurants in Philly but this one is best Ambiance is a 10. Nice bathrooms too The front door is at side of property

Great food made with high quality ingredients. I had a pepper salad which was very delicate and tasty. I had a stuffed cabbage entree which was delicious. My only quibble with this dish was the accompanying bread, which was just OK. Beautiful venue. I can't emphasize enough how friendly and engaging the servers were. I was alone at the bar and both my server and another one went out of their way to talk to me and make me feel at home. The Georgian hospitality was wonderful.

Wow. What great food. Completely new to me. Excellent service by friendly staff Busy but we could still hold a conversation. We liked it so much we went back 2 days later and had different items.

We came here on our quick trip to Philly, and all we can say is that it did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in we were met with a beautiful interior, and calming jazz music; the hostess sat us right away. The servers made sure that we were familiar with the menu, and diligently answered any questions. We ordered the Chebureki, a bit like a samosa with potato; Lobiani, a warm bread with beans; Adjaurli Kachapuri, a cheese bread with egg; and Khinkali, soup dumplings. My Georgian friend ate with me and she said the food tasted just like home. Everything was delicious and we would definitely return. They are also currently BYOB, but they have some great Georgian alcohol-free drinks to try.

Kinto is a stylish and cozy spot with a menu that feels both unique and comforting. The Georgian-inspired dishes are flavorful and beautifully presented, and the cocktails pair perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which makes it a nice choice for a date night or a small dinner with friends. It feels like one of those restaurants that makes you want to linger just a little longer because of how inviting the whole experience is.

The food was amazing! The cheese bread, the stuffed cabbage, the Neapolitan cake. Just amazing. Will come again!

This place is amazing. Superb food, which is surprisingly affordable. The atmosphere is calm and well put together. Check it out.

Very unique experience. I truly enjoyed Kinto and would recommend it to anyone else who is adventurous!!

Absolutely phenomenal food. First time eating Georgian food and it definitely impressed me. Tons of fantastic options to try and share, with a beautiful decor and ambiance to go with it. The server was exceptionally friendly and gave great recommendations. 11/10 place, you need to come here!

This restaurant is so cute! The staff are so kind and passionate about the food. The food is really good - new flavors I've never had before. I will be going back and highly recommend to everyone!
