"Booked a table on line, which was easy enough. Arrived at the Windmill, the lady logged in to find our booking, which took a little while as the app kept logging her out, and it had ‘the longest ever password’ to log in her words not mine. Took our seats, and ordered our drinks via the app. After about 10 mins, the same lady asked if we were ok, we said we were waiting for drinks, she went back to the bar and retrieved our order and brought our drinks to us. Next round of drinks which again were order via the app arrived promptly. Next we ordered our mains. Medium rare 10oz stake, and a lasagna. Food arrived. Lasagna was very good. Not overpowered with tomato or garlic, very tasty. Hubby’s medium rare stake was overcooked making it a bit dry and lacking taste, but he didn’t want to wait for another to be cooked. Not once did anyone check with us how the meal was. During the meal we ordered another round of drinks, and waited patiently. The lack of drinks made a dry steak even less palatable. We finished the meals (well left half the steak) yet still no drinks. After 25 minutes I went to the bar to cancel the drinks and ask for a refund. After tapping many buttons, hey presto the order was located. There was much confusion over how to do a refund, and at one stage it was suggested that we may have to have cash and the staff member sort it later, but eventually it got sorted as a refund to the card. STILL NO ENQUIRY AS TO HOW THE MEALS WERE!!!!!! As much as I enjoyed the lasagna, I don’t think we will visit again. One member of staff was spending more time having a chat with the locals than checking on things. There were a lot of food orders being collected for delivery, I felt that these were being prioritised above the seated diners. I wish I could say the pub was busy, but it really wasn’t so there was no excuse."

"Visited today with a friend, he had been to the other restaurant they have on Allerton Road and enjoyed it. So we were keen to see what the one on Hardman Street was like. Our visits was a Thursday evening and the restaurant was pretty quiet. We were seated quickly, the server gave us the option of where we sat. We were given menus and a glass bottle of ice cold water was given to us. We soon ordered our drinks, a Diet Coke and beer and went for a version of a mixed grill they do for 2. This contained chicken and pork kebabs, sliced chicken, lamb chop, chips, coldslaw, pitta and a spicy gravy. The table was prepared for this and the food was out in 15-20 minutes. The food was excellent, the kebabs and sliced chicken were well cooked and everything had a unique flavour. We are hungry guys but this tray of food filled us easily. The servers was attentive but not overly fussing. They regularly checked all was okay and the food was nice. When we finished. Our table was cleared and much to my surprise we were brought 2 brownies with cream, on the house. These were really nice and although small, it perfectly capped the meal. We were in there roughly 1 and a half hours, and the whole experience was pleasant. The restaurants decor is traditional and clean. The bill came and for the meal for 2 and the drinks only came to £38. Absolute bargain. Highly recommend, we will be back."

"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."
