Shavi Lomi

Beautiful restaurant, popular with locals and foreign tourists (like us!). We enjoyed it so much we went three times in our five days in Tbilisi. We dined in the old house twice, beautiful venue and had a late lunch outside in the garden one day before an overnight train. We loved the garden, very attractive place. The cats will leave you alone if you don't like cats, we do so we made friends with them. Service is spot on, friendly, smiling and will give you advice on the dishes. We were welcomed back like old friends 🧡 The food:- stand-out dishes are the beef shank (we shared it as its big) and the eggplant starter with walnut sauce but all dishes were very interesting to us and our UK pallete. They also let us taste the wine before we committed to buying a bottle (we chose wine that was available by the glass). Overall, a lovely restaurant, we walked up rather than using a taxi, we saw local bakeries on the walk which we found interesting. Away from the tourist drag and whilst it's probably a bit more expensive we felt the quality in service, atmosphere and food was well worth it. If you read about Georgia and their recent history then you'll approve of their silent protest made on your receipt. You need to book for the garden. If it rains, then don't worry, as everyone is moved indoors.

Super lovely restaurant with a beautiful garden! Be sure to make a reservation in advance if you want to sit outside — the garden is definitely worth it. The food was delicious. We had the lamb kebab, eggplants and seasonal vegetables stewed in tomato sauce, along with some bread, a fresh tomato and cucumber salad, and potatoes on the side. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommended for a relaxed and tasty dining experience!

Such a charming restaurant!! As soon as you step in, you feel immersed in a warm retro-style and organic ambiance. Every item and detail in the interior is intriguing and aesthetically stimulating. The music was very aligned with the environment and complimented the warmth and romantic feel. Now, the food was nothing less than the ambiance and the flavors and presentation were all- senses fulfilling. We had seen this restaurant on the recommended list and trusted our host and went straight in to try it. Although is says that it is open till 2 am, however they actually close at 12. Plan to spend a couple of hours to fully embrace the magic this place has to offer. Will definitely be back as soon as we revisit Georgia :)

The entrance of the place was quite eye-catching. Without the photos, I wouldn't have realized it was the actual entrance. The atmosphere was also pleasant and felt automated in a good way. I can say the waiters were attentive. Upon the waiter’s suggestion—since it was in season—I ordered a lamb dish. However, it felt more like a soup than a main course. The taste wasn’t bad, but I can’t say I really enjoyed it either. That said, I still think it’s a place worth visiting at least once. I also tried the homemade compote, but honestly, you’d be better off ordering wine instead. I ended up having the compote with my soup-like dish, which wasn’t the best combo. Lastly, I believe adding photos to the menu would be helpful for customers.

Beautiful place, and nice atmosphere ✨ They also have seats outside and if it's good weather you get to enjoy a beautiful sunny terrace with trees. The food was also great. We enjoyed every single dish we ordered. I especially liked the mushrooms in white wine and butter 😋🫠 The service was also great 🙏🏻 Overall, it was a very nice experience of a Georgian restaurant. Definitely recommend 🙌🏼

Absolutely loved my lamb and mushroom risotto! It was wonderful – perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The meal was competitively priced, and the portion size was generous. Service was fast, incredibly kind, and the staff spoke excellent English. The outside courtyard was a fantastic spot, a lovely suntrap with plenty of shaded areas. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Pleasant, romantic and quiet place for dinner. Red candles around and artsy interior. The food was flavorful and the meat cooked perfectly. I absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a nice and fancy dinner. Prices are reasonable for the experience you get. Would return for lunch on next trip!

It is a popular place, I am usually skeptical about popular places but glad that we went there. The food is amazing and the waitresses were quite helpful. With lots of cats and trees, it is like a backyard of your granny.
