Fantastic! Delicious Caucasian food; a great mix of Georgian and Armenian cuisines.

Nice atmosphere and setup; the service is very hospitable and timely.

I highly recommend this place. Ottawa has been missing this cuisine for YEARS!

**The owner did advise that they may book up with reservations, so it’s best to call to ensure you can visit rather than risk dropping in only! 😊

The best Armenian and Georgian authentic food made with soul. From the first bite, you feel it… this is not just food, this is home.

It feels warm. It feels joyful. It feels like sitting at your grandmother’s table where every dish is made with love and every guest is family.

If you miss the taste of Armenia and Georgia this place will hug your heart. 🇦🇲🇬🇪

So proud to have this little piece of our culture here in Ottawa. Go hungry… leave happy 🙂

What a great place in the heart of downtown, Ottawa. The food is beyond delicious, the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, the service is great and all the staff make you feel like you’re at home from the moment you step in until you leave. Very authentic and vibrant family owned restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Went there with friends for a dinner. Was pleasantly surprised about this place. The food was very delicious. Khinkali are top notch, and we loved absolutely everything. Service was very good, orders were served quickly, our waitress Alina was very attentive. I wish they they have bigger menu, but as they just opened and we’ve been told they still working to expand more options to the menu. Overall experience was very good and left happy and full. Definitely planning to come back and also will recommend to visit this place.

Finally tried the only Georgian restaurant in Ottawa, and it was genuinely excellent.

The food is authentic and bold, not “adjusted” or watered down. The khinkali were juicy and perfectly made, the khachapuri was rich and comforting, and the meat dishes were cooked by people who clearly know what they’re doing. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and honest.

The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, without trying too hard, and the service was calm and friendly.

Overall, this place fills a big gap in Ottawa’s food scene. We left very satisfied and will definitely be coming back.

Highly recommended.
