IBERIA-Georgian Restaurant in Islington

Please be aware, that even if you book a table it does not mean they give you a table. I booked a table well in advance for our Saturday night date, when we arrived they told us there were no tables. I was informed they tried to call me the whole day and that I had booked a table at the last minute, just before arriving. Very disappointed, we traveled there for an hour. No apologies just a bunch of lies, trying to convince me it was my fault.

8 of us gathered to celebrate a big legal victory, we’d come from far and wide, Scotland, Somerset, Wales, it was a special occasion. The service was minimally friendly. The food was no impression, I had the lamb stew which was meant o have tarragon, plum sauce and coriander but it was literally just pieces of cubed land in a terracotta dish in its own juices with coriander dissolved into it, serviced with a few slices of cold unleavened bread for £18! It tasted okay for what it was but seriously, no onions, garlic or vegetable of any kind, it was just stewed lamb! The wine was nice but it shine, cheapest bottle £32! Nobody had starter or desert and we still spent £320! That at 10.30pm they told us we had to leave as they were closing! On a Friday night! Very disappointing and regrettable choice for this occasion

Excellent georgian restaurant in Angel, highly recommend!!

The Georgian restaurant left a lasting impression with its authenticity and cozy atmosphere. Very tasty borscht and khachapuri. The service was attentive and friendly, which added even more positive vibes to the overall experience.

Amazing Georgian food - the dumplings were incredible and I will definitely be back for more! Service was also very warm and friendly

Nice discovery on a Sunday afternoon! Food is very good, authentic Georgian food, for a good price. Service is a bit slow and could be improved. Overall we had a good time and good food.

Great Georgian restaurant in London — amazing khachapuri, khinkali & chacha. Lovely staff too.

I have been going to this restaurant for many years. Maybe once a year. It was always nice and friendly. However the service the staff provided for my friends birthday was truly bad. I don’t know if staff just had a bad day. But I haven’t felt so unwelcome in a restaurant ever. There was a party of 9 of us celebrating a birthday. We had 4 menus between us. Waitress would take an order from 2-3 people and then disappear for 25min. It was truly strange. There were a lot of these issues, and I don’t want to go into every detail. I am sure the staff has a heart in a right place and they are good people, but the service was bad and disappointing especially compared to many other times I have been here.

Really good Georgian food in a nice little place with warm service The wines were really good - was very positively surprised by how good it was Food was very flavourful without exception and the tastes seemed authentic- service was prompt in general and attentive Sadly they did not have the 2 desserts we were looking to order so had to settle on one sticky toffee pudding which was not good.

I just loved the whole restaurant🥰 Best food and stuff, I would reccomend to everyone🥰

Best restaurant in London 👍 with best service

Iberia is the best among Georgian restaurants in London! Khinkali is the best! The kharcho soup is extraordinary! Walnut cake is amazing! I will definitely visit you!

Nice georgian food, kurdish and georgian music

Very delicious food, staff were great and kept up good standards of service even though the place was really busy

Brilliant brilliant restaurant -- we were looked after so well, and the food was next level. Amazing lobiani, aubergine with walnuts were incredible - so well flavoured, and the pork and potatoes with plum sauce 🤤🤤🤤

Incredibly well priced & delicious food. Good atmosphere and lovely service. Could not recommend more!

Delicious food, great service, prices are reasonable. Will be happy to come back to this place!

Amazing food and lovely service. Waitress even went accross the street to buy us ice cubes for our drinks. Kitchen went the extra mile for us. Definitely recommend👍👍

Great experience! Absolutely amazing Georgian cuisine and lovely atmosphere. Recommend

Thank you for the staff … I love that place this is the best place ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

had a great time. I had never eaten Georgian food before so it was really helpful to have some tips on how to mix and rip the bread. still managed to get soup all over myself with the dumplings. The staff were super friendly and I shazamed a whole bunch of great Georgian tunes they were playing. Tried tarragon lemonade. Unforgettable!!

Food was very good and legit, service welcoming and kind.

very tasty Georgian food, nice service, nice atmosphere

Very disappointing service. We booked a table for a large group on the terrace and I contacted the restaurant twice to re-confirm the booking. We ended up dining inside. This would not be a big issue, if everything else about the service was nice. However, we waited for our order for two hours (literally): there were 10 of us and everyone ordered just the main and a drink. Seems that something needs to be done with the management of this restaurant.

I recently visited a Georgian restaurant that unfortunately left a lot to be desired. I'd give one star to whoever is managing this place. Despite it being a busy evening, there were only two staff members working, and while they were doing their absolute best, the atmosphere was chaotic and stressful. It completely ruined what should have been a pleasant evening. The food itself was good, but the service issues overshadowed that. We ended up having to cancel our order of khinkali because it never made it to our table. It’s a shame because this place has potential, but the poor management and lack of proper staffing made the experience frustrating. I wouldn’t recommend dining here unless some serious changes are made.

We booked a table here, and when we arrived for our reservation, the restaurant was closed. No one answered the phone. Why allow us to make a reservation on a day it was closed? Or why not notify us that it was not open? We travelled from the other side of london for this reservation. Very disappointing

Iberia is an absolute gem that transports you straight to the heart of Georgia without leaving the UK. From the moment you step inside, the warm and welcoming atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The décor is a perfect blend of traditional and modern, with tasteful touches that evoke the rich culture of Georgia. The food is the star of the show at Iberia. Every dish is a celebration of authentic Georgian flavors, crafted with care and passion. The khachapuri is simply divine—rich, cheesy, and perfectly baked. The khinkali are a must-try, bursting with savory goodness in every bite. Each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients, and the flavors are both bold and comforting. The wine selection at Iberia deserves special mention. They offer a fantastic variety of Georgian wines, which beautifully complement the dishes. The staff are knowledgeable and eager to help you choose the perfect pairing for your meal. Service at Iberia is top-notch. The staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing the Georgian culinary experience. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and are happy to explain the menu and make recommendations. Overall, Iberia is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Whether you’re familiar with Georgian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you’re in for a treat. I can’t recommend Iberia enough for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Georgian food in the UK. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

A lovely dinner, with very friendly staff

Very nice place! Very friendly staff and delicious food! They made my mum's birthday a very special one. The best georgian restaurant we tried so far!

Excellent tasty food and service. Anna from the restaurant staff had a smile on her face and helped us choose the best dishes

That is fantastic Tako and Anni is best waitresses ever in king’s cross and in iberia.

Excellence service! Great food..very polite and courteous. Nice ambience!

Great vibe and food, both times we came here. The great background music is also a plus (thanks to the waiter who also shared the youtube links with me!)

I’ve been going here since 2015. Amazing food, very friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere all around. Highly recommended. Also a great place to take friends and visitors from out of town who have never had Georgian food before.

Food was so good! Service was great too :)

The best Georgian food outside of Georgia. Beautiful khatchapuri, incredible stews, wine, khinikali. Highly reccomend

The food is super tasty and the people were very friendly. The price is high and depending on your order you can expect to wait quite a while. But outside of that it was definitely recommended

Really nice Georgian food in a welcoming atmosphere. Enjoyed having dinner on the outdoor patio. The cickaka pictured was my favorite. Only wish I had room to eat more!

Restaurant with typical Georgian cuisine, truly exquisite, generous and tasty portions, excellent wines and value for money! Recommended for those who want something different but of quality.

I wasn't that impressed by this place. The food was just alright. We enjoyed our starters but thought the khachapuri was average. The mains were a disappointment - nothing particularly flavourful and the lamb was quite tough. It was Friday, so understandably busy, but service was SLOW. Also, I recognise it's London and not Tbilisi, but £21 for khinkali is utter madness. I wouldn't recommend.

Delicious, unique food that tastes homemade! 100% recommend, and the waiter was very friendly too!

Best service and atmosphere. Food is great quality

Amazing food and incredibly friendly service by Natia. She was amazing I definitely recommend

Hinkalli very nice and very tasty

The best Georgian food we've ever had, so delicious and full of flavour. The day we visited there was only one waitress and she was running around like a headless chicken and waiting time for food was extended but it was so worth the wait!!! Flavours that I would struggle to recreate at home. I will definitely be coming back again.

Very tasty food, great atmosphere, very friendly staff.

I ordered the Acharuli Khachapuri - it was really good and our server was excellent.

We used to go regularly to this restaurant and we loved the food and service,everything..now for some reason they don’t do ,,shashlik/mtsvadi on charcoal anymore wich is ridiculous because they used to do all the time and was delicious ..sad because we used to love this restaurant for years😕

I recently dined at Iberia restaurant at Caledonian road, a Georgian restaurant, and it was an extraordinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of Georgia. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening. The restaurant's ambiance is inviting and authentic, with beautiful Georgian decor that adds a touch of elegance and tradition. The soft lighting and cozy seating made it a perfect place for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The food at Iberia restaurant is nothing short of spectacular. We started our meal with traditional appetizers like khachapuri and pkhali. The khachapuri, with its perfectly baked bread and gooey cheese filling, was absolutely divine. The pkhali, a variety of delicious vegetable spreads, was flavorful and beautifully presented. For the main course, I chose the khinkali, Georgian dumplings filled with juicy meat and aromatic spices. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and the dumplings were cooked to perfection. My dining companions opted for the chakhokhbili (a savory chicken stew) and the mtsvadi (grilled meat skewers). Both dishes were exceptional, with rich, authentic flavors that showcased the best of Georgian cuisine. The dessert was the perfect conclusion to our meal. We indulged in churchkhela, a traditional Georgian sweet made from grape must and nuts. It was a delightful and unique treat that left us thoroughly satisfied

I had the pleasure of dining at Georgian restaurant Iberia for the first time, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The decor perfectly captured the essence of Georgian culture. The menu offered a fantastic selection of authentic Georgian dishes. I was particularly impressed with the Khachapuri and the Khinkali, both of which were bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The wine list featured some excellent Georgian wines, which paired beautifully with our meal. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. Our server took the time to explain the dishes and make recommendations, which enhanced our overall dining experience. Overall,Iberia restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the rich and delicious cuisine of Georgia. I can’t wait to return and try more of their wonderful dishes! thank you girls

The Khinkali was a highlight – perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce inside. However, the meat could have been softer; it felt like it was prepared a couple of weeks ago. The salad was amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for an overall enjoyable dining experience. I look forward to visiting again and trying more dishes!

Very small portions and very expensive.

Really nice and authentic food, but for me, the service really stood out. Staff were absolutely lovely and they don’t even charge mandatory service charge

Delicious food❤️ and very friendly staff

Overall I would not recommend this place. Khinkali were fine in terms of the taste - nothing good or bad. The portion size was good but the price was about 8-10 times higher than in Georgia. When I ordered Dolma I expected meat in grape leaves but instead I got meat in cabbage leaves. The taste was very mediocre. Khachapuri looked pretty poor - there was no sign of cheese being baked. The waiting time was insane - it took them more than an hour and a reminder from us to bring khinkali. On top of that when they brought the bill they pointed out that it did not include service charge, hinting us at leaving some tips on top. Not the service you want to experience for such a price

Service is very bad, waiting time is insane. Do something with that. Crazy.

Very tasty, authentic Georgian food!

I was desperate after tasting khinkali and Georgian wine The best khinkali I have ever tasted in the city of London Being Georgian is more than nationality I’m proud that there are Georgians next to all and sharing world with others

The most delicious Georgian dishes. The most beautiful and kindest host -Katie. Nice and cozy atmosphere. Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The food was magnificent and the hostess was charming and helpful. The Khinkali were so delicious I wanted to cry. Also loved the Khachapuri and Badrijani. This was my first taste of Georgian cuisine but it won't be my last. Iberia was the best part of my visit to London. I wish I lived there.

From the moment we walked in, Katie greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that immediately set a positive tone for the evening. She took the time to understand our preferences and offered excellent recommendations from the menu. What truly stood out was Katie's ability to make us feel like valued guests, not just customers. She took the time to engage in friendly conversation, sharing stories and laughter that enhanced our overall dining experience and made our evening unforgettable. The ambience was great. The food was Absolutely delicious! Drinks were great. Definitely recommend

As a Georgian, the food was fantastic and I love eating here whenever I can! Excellent service, vibrant atmosphere and genuinely amazing Georgian food.

Very good food, and the best wine I've ever had.

A paradise of flavors... best The best variety of dishes....

The best khinkali I've ever tried in London. Having tried different Georgian restaurants in London, I responsibly declare that the khinkali here is the most juicy and delicious :)

This has been a neighbourhood restaurant for me since I moved to London almost 4 years ago. I have been multiple times and I order from here when I want comfort food. I took my boyfriend yesterday evening because I was sure he would love it. And it didn’t disappoint. We got my usual orders (the cheese bread and the soup dumplings) and something I had never tried before. The red wine was an amazing plus. The service is always top tier, welcoming just like a neighbourhood restaurant can be. My boyfriend and the host bonded over having the same name. This restaurant will always be a sure recommendation.

Best food ever - pork with plum sauce and khachapuri 🔥🔥🔥and semi sweet wine on a side. Thanks Michal for taking care of our table !

Incredible food and Michael the waiter had wonderful recommendations and was looked after us very well

Lovely ambiance with delicious food and generous portions. The waitstaff deserves special recognition for their warm hospitality, constant smiles, and overall positive vibe, which greatly enhanced the experience.

Amazing food and amazing service , micheal deliver a really good quality service , We will definily come back again

Great place to have great food and come if you like to try new food.. Food was absolutely incredible like the dumplings, beef and walnuts stew and the baked bread with cheese and egg.. I highly recommend this place and Michael the waiter was so friendly with us and made the experience much more memorable.

Not a great introduction to Georgian cuisine; the aubergine starter was delicious but for mains the waitress steered us away from chicken kebabs (on the grounds it would take too long) towards beef dumplings and a rather stodgy flatbread, both of which amounted to novel ways to serve a sausage roll. The dry red house wine was impressive however.

Really liked the restaurant. Polite waiters and delicious food. We visit more than once, and every time we want to come again. I recommend it to everyone🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Feels like going home , every second Saturday we are there. That’s first recommendation that comes into our mind when our friends ask for some good food. The best restaurant. The most delicious food. Kety and Mickail very friendly and pleasant.

We had a lovely meal, the service was fantastic! Mikhail’s recommendations were absolutely delicious and he was extremely attentive. Definitely coming here again!

Today my family and I visited a Georgian restaurant. The waiter did not speak either Georgian or Russian, although she had a Slovenian appearance. (only in English, this is understandable, we are in London) I am from Georgia myself, the atmosphere is with Georgian music 👍. Khinkali, very small and expensive. In Vienna we tasted much tastier food. Khachapuri megruli was so-so, a bit dry. The chicken shish kebab is normal, but the sauce, sorry, is not satsebili, not tkemali, and especially not adjika - it’s not clear what. Thank you for your “hospitality” - I wouldn’t want to visit this restaurant a second time.

Best restaurant ever. We had a lovely time. We will be back soon .food was delicious and beautiful girl was serving us she was very friendly and welcoming.

Khachapuri and a bottle of house white = a really great evening. Love this place.

Absolutely lovely place and delicious food.

Such a wonderful restaurant, great khinkali and khachapuri! For a moment I forgot we were in London as it felt like home ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great place! Delicious food. The best khinkali in London🤍❤️

So tasty food, like at home. Khinkali is delicious. Thanks to Michael for having us today.

The best Georgian restaurant in London. Khinkali made my day today. Highly recommended 🥰

We booked a place through Opentable. Received a booking confirmation. Didn’t get any warning or notification about it not being accepted. However, when we came, the waiter turned us away saying they don’t accept same-day reservations and that it is an opentable problem. It was our anniversary and we needed to look for another place on Friday night. It is a completely frustrating experience that cannot be explained since OpenTable allows to block same-day reservations.

Lovely atmosphere over Saturday lunch, Great food: we had starters and mains. (Our Russian friend was impressed with the food) The staff are friendly, service was speedy but not rushed. The charge was a fair price; £60 for two. We were full! Thoroughly recommend

This restaurant is an absolute disaster. The food was below average and took almost 2 hours to arrive. You pay prices you'd expect from high end restaurants in the West End, but the food portions are tiny (and not even tasty). The male waiter has an attitude problem and can't be bothered. Everything was awful. It's shocking that this restaurant even gets business.

We enjoyed Karacho soup and complementary wine! Staff was super friendly. Recommended!

Went there 3 or 4 times: it never disappoints.

Just had my first meal at this restaurant, and wow! What an amazing cuisine and such a lovely staff! We got waited on by Michael and he was so lovely! Exceptional service. And the meal - delicious. Thank you so much, Michael, for making our evening so great! We will definitely be back soon.

All the food was amazing. The wine too was delicious. Highly recommend

We've visited Iberia with friends for lunch. Booking was easy, online. Ordered kharcho soup, khinkali, lobio, khachapuri, amazing deserts and wine. Everything was incredibly tasty and fresh!! Michael helped us with the menu and was a great host. Will definitely come back again!!!

Amazing food, especially soup dumplings- khinkali. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, didn’t expect it to be this good and was truly impressed, planning to come back as early as next week. Michael was a great server and made us feel very welcomed.

One of the best Georgian restaurants in London with amazing service. Our waiter Mikhail made our visit very special as he was very welcoming. I also noticed he was the only waiter in the fully occupied restaurant and he did amazingly well. The food as always was outstanding, the khinkalis were one of the best. But the reason I will come back is true Georgian hospitality provided by Mikhail.

Great restaurant. Our waiter, Michail, created pleasant atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The food was amazing. Highly recommend!

Nice place Marat to me. Always tasty, very nice khinkali!

Amazing meal and nice atmosphere. Michael was especially helpful 🙌🏼

After one visit, I can safely say that this place is hands down one of my favourite restaurants in London. I came here recently for a dinner with friends, and had such a memorable evening for many reasons - from the spectacular food, to the wonderful atmosphere, to the fabulous team. We were seated next to a table of local regulars and very much made to feel at home among them. The team gave us honest advice about the food and how much to order (so refreshing to not be upsold things you don't want or need for once), and were just so wonderfully warm and friendly. We had some really fun chats with them as the night went on. It's hard to say whether the company or the food was the real star of the show - everything was so so delicious! Apparently we had also ordered some of the "worst" things on the menu that were mostly only there for the western European palate - it was so sublime that I'd find that hard to believe, had we not spied some of the dishes arriving on the table next to ours. We won't be bothering to go anywhere else for our future get togethers - this place is such a rare gem and we can't wait to try the other items on the menu. Thank you Katie and Mikhaeli!

Loved this restaurant. We went on a day when it was extremely busy, but the staff went out of their way to accommodate us and make us feel welcome - really friendly service. The food was excellent. I would recommend the Ostri with walnut sauce - rich, full flavoured with beautifully tender meat. The dessert medley for two was great too and gave us an opportunity to try several different sweets. We would definitely want to come back and eat here again.

Sensational selection of dishes. Lovely staff, wonderful service and atmosphere.
