Little Georgia in Hackney

Cosy BYO restaurant with comfort food and friendly atmosphere.

Serving up delicious authentic Georgian food for many years. Nice atmosphere, great service, interesting menu. Great opportunity to support a small family run business.

Georgian dishes with good taste, some quite spicy. We had a large group downstairs and upstairs was full too.

Sweet experience at Little Georgie this afternoon! We ordered a variety of vegetarian dishes and they were all delicious and full of flavour. Definitely cheese heavy so take your lactaid before. We purchased a bottle of wine from the shop across the street and the Little Georgia team provided glasses without us even having to ask.

Probably one of my fav restaurants in London. Food is insane, everything is low key and unpretentious and very authentic. Highly recommend

One of my favourite spots in London. Reasonable price, cosy and romantic atmosphere, great food

Good food, unacceptable service

A family run business, little Georgia while small has big heart. As a former Chef I was surprised and delighted at how interesting and utterly delicious the food was. Think home cooked meal with simple yet skilled presentation, and warm service that makes you feel like a part of the family. It can get quite busy, as it is a popular destination. But that can be fun as it feels lively. We went on a quieter evening which was also nice. You can bring your own Alcohol, or they have a selection of Georgian Wine and Beer. If you don’t drink, they have a very interesting bright green Tarragon Lemonade, that I find very refreshing! If you’ve never been, I recommend any of the Khachapuri, we had the Adjaruli (with egg + butter) along with the Mezze platter. Khachapuri is a bread boat filled with various things ours was just the most glorious cheesy buttery bready goodness, and it is perfect paired with the Mezze, a varied selection of cold salads which are mind blowingly delicious and refreshing. Little Georgia is an absolute must try if you’re around Broadway Market, and looking for an excellent place to eat. I can’t wait to try their entire menu in future visits!

Lovely place, great cozy atmosphere on a quiet street. You can byob from the shop across the street. Good for groups as you can order a bunch of stuff off the menu, salad platter is underrated!

The restaurant is fairly casual, the food is excellent, and I’ve always had very attentive service.

Great food. Told you I would I leave a review

Food was really good. Didn't know it was BYOB. So we had to spend time getting wine nearby. After 2 hours exactly, we were told to leave. Not a great ending to a nice meal.

One of the best Georgian cuisine restaurants, we have been fans for a long time, we have returned several times to the one in Islington but this time we tried this location :) we had a divine meal and the atmosphere of the place is very nice

Little restaurant, family run with an authentic atmosphere. It was really busy when we came and a bit of a chaos but maybe it added to its charm. (If you have time) We just had a khachapuri which was really good and some meat. It was a bit spicy so not my favorite but overall the quality was really good. Worth a try if you are craving georgian food:)

Very cozy place with great food. Feels like a family restaurant. Bring your own wine and beer.

The stuff is dismissive and refuse to acknowledge issues, very sad

I love this restaurant. It is amazing sitting outside on a nice day. The restaurant owner is lovely and everyone who works here is so nice. They always kindly make one dish for me that’s not on the menu at this location but at the one in islington. Very much appreciated! It’s too good.

First time trying Georgian food, positive experience. Would recommend the Meze and Adjaruli Khachapuri (worth the wait). Reasonably price and very good portion size.

The 2nd time for me, as I was returning after having been there last autumn. It's definitely lovely. The place is quite small, but comfortable. The lady was outstanding, she helped us by explianing the dishes and giving advice for the better choice. That has been! Everything was delicious. I will go there again the future! And rememeber, it's a BYO resturant but you can buy georgian wine at the 80-20 shop just in front of the restaurant.

Food was good, borscht can be a little spicy. Would love to come back to try other dishes thr Khachapuri was really cheesy and went well with the borscht. Bathroom downstairs was clean. Service charge included on bill

Great tasty food, excellent, super intense service. Thanks

Absolutely incredible, without a doubt the best georgian food I have had in years. Outstanding!

Some of the most delicious food I’ve had in London. (Could get a bit noisy but only adds to the experience)

Tried calling last night as we wanted to visit for our anniversary. Asked if I could make a reservation & they barked down the phone that they were too busy to take a booking at the moment & hung up. It was a Tuesday night & well past usual dinner service time. Why pick up the phone if you're too busy? Looks like we dodged a bullet with rude service here, we'll be eating somewhere else.

we loved the family style food and service. our dinner experience was spoiled by two groups of incredibly loud and rude customers that were screaming and laughing so hard it was impossible to talk. we had to eat our food quickly and still left with a headache. would return for the food and friendly staff, but perhaps when the weather is better as one could perhaps eat al fresco (I would not risk with the basement tables again)

We really enjoyed the vegetarian dishes tonight!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love it. The food was delicious! Recommend!

Amazing cheese bread. Starter platter is my favorite by far; no need for mains.

Love the khachapuri here! They also have a good selection of Georgian wines. Always a pleasure to visit but best to book ahead

Really great food. Had a large mixed mezze, it was ok for 3, then a good stew and a nice honey cake

A great weekend discovery! Wonderful place! really warm and cozy atmosphere, we felt so welcome. It's like a little museum, with nice space downstairs too, and amazing menu! 2 people and we ordered food for 4, we wanted to try many dishes and all were really great! Full of flavour!

Wow Georgian food. New to me and SO GOOD. The cheese bread - insane. All these amazing salads. BYOB so didn't get to try any Georgian wine unfortunately (apparently also great). Lovely neighbourhood vibe. Really cute. Top stuff.

I liked the food. For my group of friends the food is not great. The room is cramped, the chairs are hard. I wanted more comfort.

Went to this place for a late dinner on a rainy day. A lot of the stews had run out but was served the beef stew by a lovely lady in the cafe. It was sooo homely and hit the spot! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back to try more of the dishes!

The best restaurant in London for sharing a meal with friends on a weekend. Always good social atmosphere. BYOB. Consistently tasty and shareable dishes.

Delighted by my experience at the little Georgian restaurant, I indulged in the culinary delights of kinkhali and khachapuri. The flavors were truly authentic, transporting me to the heart of Georgia. The attentive service and cozy atmosphere added to the overall charm. A hidden gem for anyone craving a taste of Georgian cuisine.

Lovely meal! Very sweet atmosphere. Absolutely delicious and great, friendly service!

Beautiful atmosphere and kitchen!

A cozy cafe in Hackney offering super tasty and authentic Georgian food, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices. The staff, especially Thea, are very friendly and welcoming people and make you feel at home. I'll definitely return whenever I miss delicious Georgian food, especially Khachapuri. Thank you!

Food wasn’t tasty at all, compared to other georgian places in London this place is the worst. Staff is rude, the guy who works there has no manners and doesn’t need to interact with the customers.No one welcomed us with smile, more was like go away. Toilet was dirty and smelly and overall atmosphere wasn’t pleasant. Never again!

the food is delicious, atmosphere is low key and cozy

I didn’t believe that it was possible to ruin Georgian cuisine. But here it was possible.

Amazing Georgian restaurant! Great food and very friendly staff. I will definitely come back :)

Decided to try here on a girls dinner catch up! It being January we were on a budget and were attracted as a BYOB place and that none of us had tried Georgian food before. They advertise the wine shop opposite which does have a good range of wines including Georgian, but the hefty price tags (av £36 a bottle) meant that we probably should have stopped at a supermarket on the way. We walked in to a busy bustling place which is always a good sign. We were shown to our table downstairs in a very interesting room of art. Nice but some of my friends found it weird looking at a giant photographic style mural of a nuclear power plant control panel whilst eating. Highly possible we missed the context of this. The menu is simple but somewhat pricy for some things. The £22 Meze for example- as other reviews note, it is delicious but the morsal of sample each was a little stingy tbh. And it would have been nice to know the name of the dips. Main menu gave a selection for meat eaters and vegetarians - we all managed to get something different and the experience was varied. The spicy chicken stew wasnt spicy at all, the bean stew was incredibly salty, the beef stew was nice and the aubergine dish was unexpectedly very spicy. One friend ordered the cheesebread with egg - which at £14.50 seemed very spenny for what it was. More of a side dish but at main prices. Service was OK, ordering was smooth, food came and water was given - but there wasnt any niceties or particular customer care to note, which for me didnt match the prices of the food. Nice enough but not sure I would go back. And if you are eating with anyone with an adversion to spice/chilli - DEFINITELY ask - because its not described on the menu.

Excellent dishes with traditional Georgian food you would love, with super friendly service !

Incredible food, took us right back to Georgia. Lovely service. What a delight!

You can definitely tell this food is homemade as it tasted just above average, even the kitchen looks like a home kitchen! The service was good given it was a full house and had only 2 waitress. However, I was sitting downstairs with 2 big big groups so it was very difficult to converse with my friend which really put us off and has to end dinner early sadly.

Absolutely gorgeous food, best rating for the soups, but all is delicious. Great service, strong recommendation. 👍

Lovely restaurant with great food and service!

This is a cute hole in the wall place that has authentic tasty Georgian food. It was a shame they didn’t have Shkmeruli but the classic Khinkali and Khachapuri were delicious. Could be a slightly warmer reception at the beginning of the night but it became a very vibrant and cosy evening where we weren’t rushed out at all.

good food but the portion of rice is very little, if it wasn't for this, will be a 5star.

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. We all been to Georgia and love the cuisine, so this was slightly disappointing. The starters were all very nice (too a few variations of khachapyri) but not mains. Khinkali were the main disappointment as the dough literally fell apart and off the meat , plus was completely empty and dry inside. We also tried a few stews but didn't work for us. They were very busy and service was rushed off as well, but we wouldn't mind if the food was better.

The repast, a consummate embodiment of culinary finesse, exhibited a harmonious convergence of meticulously selected ingredients, deftly orchestrated in a culinary ballet, resulting in a gastronomic symphony that bestowed upon the diner an experience of undeniable gratification and epicurean delight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 😛🤩😜🫠

Feels like real Georgia.. Real Home

Wonderful experience, definitely a must to go. The place is very little and not much decorated but the food is special and the girls very helpful and kind.

Favourite restaurant in the area by far. Cozy space. Lovely service. Amazing authentic food - the adjaruli khachapuri is a must.

Been to Georgia and the food was a lovely reminder. But the food was too salty / rich compared to what I’ve found Georgian food to be whilst there. We also waited 10 minutes for the lady to come and seat us and then even longer to come be asked what we wanted to drink. Not sure if they were a member of staff down? The lady was lovely just seemed like she needed support

Food is a bit over priced. The chicken stew is good but looks like microwaved and the bread with cheese is very heavy and expensive.

Delicious food and meze but slow services

Amazing and unique cuisine and great service. We were lucky to find a table at short notice. Dishes were so big we took some back home. Starter, mains and dessert were best in class.

Who knows what the food is like? We waited over an hour and got nothing. Not even an apology or explanation.

My son had been learning about Georgia at school and wanted to try khachapuri. I assumed we'd at least get that at Little Georgia. Alas, no. The experience could not have been much worse. We waited at the restaurant for over an hour, at which point we'd been given a jug of water and nothing else. They didn't have any soft drinks in so we got them from a shop over the road. We expected a wait for the khachapuri (the menu says there's a 20 min wait for bread which is fine) but even the cold starters hadn't arrived by the time we decided to cut our losses and leave. I've read and enjoyed the owner's book Supra so am truly astounded by how poorly Georgian hospitality is represented at the restaurant! No friendly welcome, no sorry-for-the-wait, not a morsel of food in 70 minutes. I've heard very good things about Kartuli in south London so we'll give that a go as we are still hoping to get our khachapuri fix. It looks like such a cute little place but I can only recommend people give it a wide berth.

sat there for an hour in the freezing cold because they left the door open for some reason. half an hour before anyone acknowledged that we were there then waited another 40 minutes for food - which never arrived. just got up and left so some other mug could have our table. is this some sort of mafia front?

Lovely little spot. Food was delicious but I do agree with another reviewer that for £22 I would expect a bigger portion of salads - especially as they are all so yummy you want more! The cheese bread that comes with it is a great accompaniment. Personally I think they would be better off having a set menu/tasting menu where you get a good spread served to the table. I think I would feel more satisfied by that and it would help with the kitchen and service time. Only took one photo of the dumplings.

Food was absolutely amazing! Borscht was so tasty, and I don't even like beetroot, which was the main ingredient. Adjaruli Khachapuri is a must try. It is rather big for a starter. The beef stew and beef/pork dumplings were also done to perfection. Everything was also unbelievable value, which explains why they do get quite busy, so try to book ahead.

I stumbled upon a charming little Georgian restaurant in the heart of Hackney, and it was a delightful surprise! The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The Georgian cuisine was a true revelation, with flavors that danced on my palate. From khachapuri to ajapsandali, every dish was a taste of Georgia's rich culinary heritage. If you're in Hackney and craving a friendly and flavorful dining experience, don't miss this gem of a Georgian restaurant!

Didn't get the chance to get food. Despite the fact that there are lots of tables available for customers, they refused to provide the service. There was no one available there to welcome you or answer your questions and they waisted our time. I write reviews only when I would be served food, but this time disrespectful behavior was something made me mention it.

Cozy neighbourhood joint serving up Georgian food & wine in Hackney. Decent food and casual but friendly service. Had khinkali and aubergine salad - both were excellent!

I went with my partner and some friends. We shared the mezze platter and some breads and then had our own main dishes. I didn't try everything as I am vegan but everything I ate was absolutely delicious. The bean bread (lobiani) was so tasty (my partner said even better than the cheese one!), as was the aubergine main dish. BYOB is a real plus, although the only place to buy wine nearby is pricey so plan ahead. The manager was friendly and didn't put any pressure on us to leave when we were the last table left, even though by that point we had finished our food. A lovely restaurant, highly recommend.

You get to choose from a limited menu, but it’s really good value and very tasty. No alcohol served but you can bring your own

Delicious Georgian food. We ordered Khacaphuri po Adjarskiy and Tabaka (chicken). The chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious. Khacaphuri was good but wasn't cheesy. Overall, it was a good visit and we will visit this place again.

This place is a small hidden gem full of delicious delights from Georgia, my belly is full and my taste buds are partying. Get the Khachapuri!

Absolutely amazing experience, the food was phenomenal, hospitality was very excellent - friendly staff and lovely atmosphere!

The atmosphere was amazing thanks to Thea and the cheese bread from Anna was delicious. However it felt like a sauna inside :( May I recommend air conditioning to keep your customers and staff happy.

This was on my top 5 restaurants pre covid. Quality is still good, staff is attentive but portions are significantly smaller whilst prices are getting out of hand.

I wanted to try out this place, but now that I have read hateful comments by the owner who can not tolerate any criticism from his customers I think I'll give it a miss, lol!

The food is fantastic, hearty and authentic, without being too heavy. The portions and prices are fair. BYOB is a great bonus too. It’s a small place and can get very busy, so with only one person on the floor it may take a while to get everything. It’s worth the wait for the food, just bear in mind.

Delicious Khachapuri and friendly service, what else could I want.

Amazing, wonderful, such a lovely place!! I'm glad to find a good Georgian place in the area. Will be visiting again

Very good georgian dishes. Recommended. BYOB: Bring your own beverage (that, btw, if you want, you can buy typical Georgian wine in the nearby shop).

Tutti piatti buonissimi e abbondanti. Menu con proposte ottime per onnivori, vegetariani, vegani. Servizio molto cordiale e celere nonostante fosse pieno. Posto piccolo, atmosfera amichevole, un po' rumoroso. Lo consiglio vivamente!

Just go!!! I certainly would again if I was local ❤️

Great food! Service is a bit slow, yet it's nice overall. Bring your own wine or buy it across the street in a small Georgian shop ;)

Unfortunately, this was a bit of a disappointing experience. The staff were friendly but service was quite poor and slow, and we had to ask multiple times when requesting water, glasses etc. There were only QR code menus rather than physical menus. The khachapuri was yum, but the other food a bit disappointing, and rice was substituted instead of potato in some of the dishes.

Absolutely unreal food. The cheese and egg bread was better than I had even dreamed. All killer no filler for everything we ordered. Fantastic, will definitely be back and highly recommend.

The worst Georgian restaurant I've ever been to in the whole world. On the phone, I asked for khinkali with lamb, arriving they said that this dish was over. Khachapuri is not tasty. I asked my friends to recommend a restaurant, not a cheap eatery. I don't advise anyone. In the CIS countries, no one would go to this place.

Lovely place to go for dinner, and delicious food. Very recommended

Delicious food but good lord it took forever to arrive! Had the set menu, which I feel like could’ve done with more food for the cost but enjoyed that it’s byob and would go back again, just not in a large group.

Georgian food is not easy to find in London so it was nice to try a spot which serves up a taste of the country. The restaurant seems to be family owned and they were very friendly however the food was underwhelming. The prices are high, for example £22 for a 2 person meze starter of salads which really is very very small for the price. We also had a long wait for the main and had to get up to ask for the bill after. They also don't have a working toilet which is another reason for the lower rating. It was just under £60 between the two of us for a shared starter, two mains (all vegetarian) and two colas. Anything rated 4+ is somewhere I would go again and bring friends however we wouldn't be rushing back to this spot again so gave 3 stars.

A brilliant dinner for six with mixed salad and All Of The Breads as sharing starters and a variety of meat and veggie mains. The food was rich, hearty, and delicious. We were seated downstairs which made for a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Highlights were the mezze starters, beef stew, and khachapuri. Great value and staff were accomodating of dietary requirements and questions.

Don’t know about the food but here on google and on the website it says open all day. We just called them (hungry and really willing to try their food) and we were told that ‘the cafe closes 5:30 and the restaurant opens 6:30’ in a not very polite manner. Erm thanks :)

Awesome Georgian food. The staff made us feel at home. Would definitely come here again!

always a delight, the Islington branch was our first and the 2nd time didn’t disappoint!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

Food is tasty and not fussy, but expensive for what it is. £13 for bread with an egg and some cheese just seems bonkers. Also some of the chairs were garden furniture and felt like they would break. Worried the bread cost more than what I was sitting on!

Efficient staff, delicious food but a bit cold downstairs.

The food is delicious. The interior isn’t fancy, but the food makes it worth it to visit this place.

Went tonight to try Georgian food for the first time and celebrate our anniversary. The lady running the service was extremely polite and lovely, made us feel welcome and relaxed. The food was amazing and my partner enjoyed to have someone to speak Russian with. Quick service, not pricy and cozy place. Really looking forward to go back and try something different.

Adjaruli and khinkali made with true love by amazing Georgians

Nice local Georgian restaurant with decent food and prices. The space isn't overly large, so a reservation is always a good shout plus it's BYO wine. Between the three of us, we shared the adjaruli khachapuri which is a bread boat with cheese and egg (must order!), the khinkali which are savoury pork and beef dumplings (good flavour but quite doughy), chashushuli which is a spicy chicken stew (really good) and the ajabsandali which is an aubergine, red pepper and tomato ragout with cheese (not bad but slightly too salty). Staff were polite but left us to be most of the time.
