IBERIA-Georgian Restaurant in Islington

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.

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.

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🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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!

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.

1. Banging playlist 2. Awesome staff, they will look after you (especially Michael!) 3. The food is delicious. Recommend the dumplings, you need instructions to do it right! I’ll be back for sure

Embarking on a delightful evening with friends, we found ourselves enraptured by the captivating flavors of the Georgian cuisine at Iberia. I selected the khachapuri, a traditional Georgian dish, and later on indulged in a delightful honey cake with a cocoa twist. Mikhail, the waiter at the restaurant, added an extra touch of warmth and hospitality to our dining experience by offering to take our pictures. His friendliness and impeccable service undoubtedly contributed to the overall enjoyment of our visit. To conclude the evening on a sweet note, I got a the honey cake. The subtle hint of cocoa (which is not in the traditional recipe) created an interesting mix of flavors. The overall experience at Iberia was absolutely lovely. I enjoyed the food so much that I grabbed additional takeaway for my husband. The combination of delicious food, warm ambiance, and service made for a memorable dining experience, leaving us all eager to return for more.

Michael (our server) was an excellent and engaging. The food was delicious, already looking forward to coming again! The restaurant itself is also charming.

What a wonderful evening! Michael and Katie were fantastic and had amazing recommendations- we really enjoyed the aubergine starter and the dumplings main! Thank you for your warm welcome and appreciation of Scotland haha

Wonderful restaurant with a unusual menu and a great atmosphere. Where so many places have the same offering, this restaurant has a selection of very unusual, and delicious, dishes... and you won't be hungry afterwards. The stuffed cabbage particularly recommended.

Very nice food and experience in an intimate Georgian setting. Place is small and cosy inside with the Georgian classics on the menu. Overall very recommendable and good experience.

Scent and taste from the EE❤️‍🔥✨ Nice to have the borscht and try the Kharcho too Well cooked and served Tevzi and Tolma😝 Usually cakes from EE are too sweet for me but the Medoki was just right(we splited between 3-4 people with the churchkhela as we were quite full after the main) Took us a bit of time to wait but staff Mikheil informed us about the wait as food prep takes time (Mikheil was very friendly huehue) Food was great so worth the wait🥰 Looking forward to my next visit🫶🏼

My family booked a table for six people for lunch at 1pm yesterday, to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived at 12.50pm, the front door was locked, so we looked in and waved. One of the waiters pointed to his watch, without approaching the door. After another five minutes outside in the cold, we tried again, with the same response, following which we gave up. So our custom was lost to another restaurant, where we were made welcome.

Dumplings were incredible 🙏 plus super helpful service - letting us know what goes food is best together. Can’t wait to return 💫

The food was very good. The service was great! Additional explanation of the dishes!

A culinary masterpiece! Each dish is a work of art.

Dumplings are excellent!! Service is great. We very much enjoyed our evening.

Really good and authentic Georgian food! They serve really big portions. Staff, particularly the waitress was really nice!

Excellent restaurant, great food and service

Это был один из лучших вечеров за последнее время. Хотели скромно отметить день рождения а получилось просто шикарно! Еда очень вкусная, атмосфера - невероятно уютно, но больше всех скрасил это вечер официант Михаил! Очень благодарны ему за прекрасный сервис и за теплую беседу! Будем в Лондоне - обязательно заскочим!

I really enjoyed my time here, the food, the service, the atmosphere and the live music was fantastic. I had a great time.

Went there for the first time on Sunday. Amazing food and atmosphere… especially fascinated by the live music! So rare these days, it gives that amazing atmosphere to have live music performed whilst eating a delicious meal

Whilst the food was quite tasty, we felt it was overpriced for what it was. Service was ok but we would have appreciated the dishes being explained properly too as we aren't familiar with Georgian cuisine.

Amazing resturan, super extremly friendly staff, the food was very tasty recommended ( Hinkali) definitely we coming back

I booked a table for the 25th of December a few days prior. However, when we arrived at the restaurant it was closed! I was very disappointed that our plans were ruined and time wasted, and that I did not receive any information about the cancellation or changes of the restaurant's opening hours. So I emailed them to say the above, forwarding the confirmation of the booking. Someone from the restaurant (didn't introduce themselves) replied later and attached an image of a fake email that they allegedly sent the same day of the booking saying the restaurant would be closed. But you could even see that the email had not been sent - it was presented as Gmail, but google doesn't display messages that way on any device (i.e. the date and email address had been crudely tacked on with a different font and format, etc, using Paint or something). The forgery was attached to a condescending and almost illiterate message attempting to gaslight me and cover up the situation. There was no need to try this on such a low-stakes complaint, it was shocking and bizarre! I wouldn't mind if they'd said that they'd simply forgotten, but this was an insult. They have also offered a 50% discount but only if we came the next day - which is again, seems a bit of a joke - did they consider whether the customer can make it? Or just tried to add something that I won't be able to use anyway? I attached the fake email and others to the review for transparency. The restaurant didn't bother to reply to the last one anyway. This approach should be investigated by the management, unless it was they who sent the first reply! In any case, this is poor business practice and quite astonishing to see it happen in the UK. We will never go to this restaurant, even if they pay us to come.

Amazing food and Michael was great st recommending what to have for starters, main and wine. Super tasty

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Food was superb, the staff super friendly and informative, and the atmosphere really nice. I’ve already booked in to come back!

Очень вкусная еда, отличная атмосфера и обслуживание! Хинкали, наверное, самые лучшие, что мы ели за последние года 3. Официант Михаэль лучший!!!❤️❤️❤️

We were lucky to walk in and get a table on a Saturday night with a warm welcome. Michael our waiter and his colleague were friendly and sweet throughout the evening and the decor was very pretty. We shared delicious Kinksli dumplings, Georgian salad and Badriani aubergine with walnuts. We can’t wait to come back.

Food is mediocre… having eaten so much Georgian food in the past, I can unfortunately say this was the worst one. The food had little to no taste, burned meat, and pricey for what it is.

Все было очень вкусно! 👍👍👍 хинкали посто 🔥🔥🔥 великолепное вино ! Хачапури тоже рекомендую😋 остались довольны ✅👍

I’ve picked this restaurant for a team dinner and it was an absolute winner. It was -2C outside and the food couldn’t have been any better and warming. The team serving were very attentive, made suggestions and explained the history of some dishes.

Overpriced, mediocre quality venue

Very happy with the food and service! I had never tried Georgian food before coming here but I'll definitely come back!

Fantastic food and service to match, staff were very warm.and welcoming and had great stories about the heritage of food being served. A must for all to go and try.

Delicious food in a cozy place. We enjoyed their stuffed vine leaves, freshly baked bread with egg & cheese is a scrumptious starter, the beef & pork dumplings, and a stew. It's wonderfully filling, so 2 starters and 2 mains was the perfect amount for 3 people. Don't forget to try a glass of their dry red 🍷!

If I could give 6 out of 5, I would. Great atmosphere, very tasty food.Michael was very very welcoming! We really enjoyed!

They don't care much... It's overpriced & low quality food.. I really wanted to like it.

A real gem in Barnsbury, I highly recommend people find their way here. Authentic and cozy Georgian experience, the khachapuri (warm Georgian cheese bread) is one of the best things you’ll ever try. Great selection of Georgian wines, try the saperavi, a rich dark red. On top of that, the people that work there are extremely welcoming and make you feel at home. I’ve been going for years and tried almost everything on the menu so please do yourself a favor and come by.

Really enjoyed the food and people there. Very welcoming and warm place. I was here 5 times. Waiter Mikhail was very kind and polite ❤️🔥

Great place for a meal with friends. Both food and service were great. One of the best Georgian restaurants in London. Special thanks to the waiter Mikhail for creating a unique atmosphere even at the busiest time of the day.

Если бы я мог поставить 6 из 5 - я бы поставил. Отличная атмосфера, очень вкусная еда. Кэти и Михаил были очень очень приветливы! Нам очень понравилось!

The food is delicious and stuff so friendly. Katy and Michael made our visit very warm and special. Thank you for your hospitality 🫶

Delicious food and super cozy atmosphere! Thank you to Mihail for the great service!

We had a great experience at Iberia. The khachapuri was very good and the soko was awesome. Michael was really welcoming!

The food is fantastic！ Michael was very nice and friendly.

Everything great! Michael did a great job.

We had a truly wonderful meal here! The food was excellent. We had the mezze, the lamb and the ratatouille and everything was very very tasty. The service was great, super friendly and provided plenty of additional information what the meals. Highly recommend!

Amazing restaurant ! Friendly waiter, delicious food, great georgian atmosphere inside. I recommend the honey cake for dessert 👌

What a north London gem! Such delicious food and warm atmosphere on a rainy night. Exactly what was needed. Walnuts, aubergine, khachapuri, khinkali, delicious Georgian wine and a wonderfully warm welcome from the Georgian owners. I can't believe I hadn't been here before. And will now definitely be coming back. Relaxation and deliciousness on a plate.

Amazing food and service! Michael and Katie served us for our friends leaving party and everything was perfect!!!!

Shocking service waited for so long I got up and left the girls working there are rude stay away do your self a favour go elsewhere the place is always empty take a hint. If this restaurant what's to get your custom they should SACK the GIRLS ALL ARE TWO FACED rude time consuming

Absolutely great restaurant. Food tastes authentic, and very friendly staff! We will definitely be back more often!

I keep coming back to Iberia. A must visit spot if you’re looking for an authentic Georgian food experience. The beef khinkali is to die for. The place is really cozy and staff members are really friendly.

Michael was wonderful - he guided us as to what to order on the menu and how to eat the food traditionally. It was a really lovely experience and the food was delicious. Thank you!

The Iberia restaurant is an intimate and cosy place where we enjoyed authentic Georgian cuisine and a very interesting chat with the owner.

Was way more expensive than the menu told us. Went from 13.50 to 19.80. This was not included service. Small portions.

As someone who lived in Tbilisi, Georgia for a few years, I can say this restaurant does a fantastic job of making authentically Georgian food. Try one of the khachapuri or khinkali dishes, you wont regret it. We have ordered from this place too many times. It should also be noted that one of the standout aspects of this restaurant is the remarkable customer service provided by the manager, Katy. Her genuine kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Katy went above and beyond to ensure that our food was exactly as specified, and remembered us from a previous time. It significantly contributed to the overall lovely experience at this Georgian gem. We hope the owner of the business appreciates Katy for the level of care that she puts into her work!

Wonderful service, delicious food and all-round good ambience. Perfect for groups of all sizes. Would love to visit again, thank you guys for a great night!

The food tasted great and the portions were quite generous. The staff was friendly and the environment relaxed. Would come back again!

The food was delicious (as expected from a lot of comments). People working there were so nice and excited about food, which made me excited about eating too :) Thank you, I will definitely be back.

Sehr leckeres Essen und empfehlenswert für alle die was neues probieren wollen

Приятно окунутся в атмосферу Солнечной Грузии с ее прекрасными людьми,🤗Вкусно, душевно прошёл обед в сопровождении грузинских песен 😊 Рекомендую 👍Процветания и Благополучия 🤗

When a friend booked this restaurant I made the mistake of thinking it would be food from Spain!! It was a really pleasant surprise and wow wow I do like Khachapuris!! Good wine from the region too.

Thank you so much for your kindness and great dishes. Everything was delicious, khachapuri and khinkali are a masterpiece 😊😊😊. We really enjoyed your food👌👌👌

Enjoyed my meal here. Khachapuri is a must for any Georgian meal. We also had the beef stew and cold salmon dish. Prices are quite high but can’t complain about quality and authenticity of the food

Miła oraz pomocną obsługa,pyszne jedzenie oraz ładny lokal.

The food was very tasty apart from giblets / very dry, wouldn’t order again. However Ostri and Khachapuri were amazing, overall a nice authentic restaurant.

Caratteristico locale di cucina georgiana, con vini tipici e servizio molto cordiale. Si trova in un quartiere poco turistico di Londra ma non lontano dal centro.

Great spot for some delicious Georgian dishes. Very attentive service and cosy atmosphere. The pear lemonade was a revelation, and all the dishes we had (aubergine, baked bread, dumplings) were a 10/10. Would recommend and definitely plan to come back to try more stuff!!

Great place with amazing cuisine. Always like to visit a Georgian restraunt when in London, so glad we chose this one. Keep it up!

Nice atmosphere, lovely and authentic food, reasonable prices. Khinkali were delicious, Ostri as well. whatever khachapuri won't disappoint you. People working there are serving are lovely, very professional and genuinely kind.
