The Little Georgia - London

Such a lovely little restaurant! My friends and I decided to try something different and this did not disappoint. Friendly and attentive staff who were so helpful in recommending what to try. The food was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. And yes, the bread is worth waiting for.

Absolutely devastated our Christmas dinner with friends. Firstly, our table was merely 30 cm from the entrance, making it excruciatingly uncomfortable due to the constant cold drafts from people entering. Additionally, having everyone pass by our table didn't contribute to the cozy Christmas atmosphere we had eagerly anticipated. To add insult to injury, after an hour and a half, just when our conversation began flowing, we were abruptly asked to vacate our table for the next slot, despite not being informed about such a time restriction during booking or upon arrival. In short, choosing this restaurant for a cozy dinner with friends was a grave mistake. I strongly discourage it.

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.

Really enjoyed the home cooked Georgian food. Very hearty dishes and reasonably priced. I hadn’t been to a Georgian restaurant before but really enjoyed this and will be back.

This place it’s a very great choice for having dinner with your friends. The menu is interesting and the staff do their best to accommodate you. We all had a fantastic time here and the food tasted very good
