"I know, that the owners of this place don’t fancy any review which does not say how perfect everything is. And I know they will fight back writing nasty things. But I think if they could listen a bit they could get a point of growth from the feedback. We are regulars at their other branch – Little Georgia Islington and this is an amazing place with lovely hospitality and warm hearted people. I felt in love with the culture amazing people of Georgia share and the owners also made picture perfect and very cosy picture of this same culture on Instagram. In reality it is very different and although they have same name these restaurant are completely on the opposite ends of the spectrum. I felt ashamed, as I brought a friend from Georgia there, we had a company of 9. Food was very average. To be fair – chachapuris, knhinkali and some mezes were good, but lobio and badrijnis were blant. We specifically asked, if they do Mtsvadi my friends who have been here warned me, that it is definitely not mtsvadi on the charcoal, but some strange dish). But I asked the waiter if this was the real thing and he told all of us that this is real Mtsvadi. I have tried it and it was awful oven baked pork with mayonnaise!!!??? My Lord. This was a pure lie straight in our faces. Besides staff was arrogant, uninterested and rude. Some members of staff clearly miss proper hospitality training taking away plates from your nose and when your turn the food is gone and acting like big bosses of the place who just tolerate you. Despite the fact that on the website it says that the companies over 8 people can stay for 2.5 hours not regular 2 hours) we were unapologetically told to pay and leave, as the waiter said “there is other reservation of 8 is about to come in 10 minutes and this is their rule” so the info on the website is contradictory). 10 minutes prior to that he sold us 4th bottle of wine. No sorry, no empathy just money! I forgot something in the premises and return after we left approx 30 minutes later). The table only had 6 people, not 8. So another lie potentially. Our Gerogian friend was pretty shocked and said he is ashamed of this. Our bill was over 600, we paid over 60 in tips I regret this a lot. If they would have treated people nicely I would have not written this review. But the lie in the face clients are not stupid), mediocre food and very poor service made me want to warn others."

"Booking was no trouble and parking was easy and well signed. Entrance fee was as expected. On arrival at the cafe we had to queue next to a sign that said the cafe was closed for a private party. It wasn't but it was facing the queue so appeared to be relevant although out of date. When we were seated it became obvious that we would have to queue again to order food, in the billowing and potent stench of the meaty barbecue for a good 15 minutes. As vegetarians this was not ideal but my mother, who is not vegetarian also found it almost unbearable too. When we reached the front of the queue the order was taken and then there was an odd arrangement where we had to wait to the side of the queue for drinks and then take a buzzer for the food. This strategy resulted in a long wait to order and an unfortunate safety issue for staff coming in and out of the kitchen who had to navigate the edge of a granite table, a queue of people and carry piles of plates. There was potential for something serious to go wrong at some stage but not our concern of course. There followed a lengthy wait for food. From being seated to the buzzer going off was an hour and we were not told of a delay on food on ordering. When the meals arrived, they were average with the flatbread being reheated from an earlier point in the day, very chewy and hard. We ordered 2 meals the same which arrived with quite different ingredients. The children's activity packs included with entry were brilliant to be honest and it was these that saved the day after such a long wait for food. The 2 tables next to us needed clearing and were not tended to until near the end of our meal. It was busy but not full to capacity at the time. I would recommend visiting hoveton hall, but it would be tricky to recommend the cafe unless the ordering and preparation system was reviewed. Will visit next year to see if anything has changed."
