Shoty Restaurant and Cafe in Kensington and Chelsea

Reservamos una mesa para el cumpleaños de un amigo a las 10. 15 pm anoche, después de un show en Royal Albert Hall pero cuando llegamos allí a las 10 pm nos dijeron que estaban cerrados y que la reserva era un error. El gerente no me reconoció ni intentó disculparse. La camarera tampoco se disculpó mucho, solo dijo que habían intentado llamar por teléfono. Hubo una llamada perdida en mi teléfono a las 7. 50 pm pero no queda ningún mensaje y cuando intenté llamar a las 8 . 30 pm el varón que contestó no entendió mi inglés y dejó el teléfono! Como habíamos perdido el tiempo caminando todo el camino desde RAH, cuando nos dijeron que era demasiado tarde para comer allí, todos los demás lugares que habíamos pasado en el camino estaban cerrados. Muy muy mal servicio al cliente que ni siquiera nos ofrecieron un aperitivo rápido o disculpas de la dirección. Habíamos estado varias veces antes, ya que nos encanta Georgia, pero sin duda no volveremos o recomendar a otros.

Nos encanta la comida georgiana, pero esto fue una desgracia. Satsivi (17 libras) era soso, el pollo consistía principalmente en huesos de los que uno podía hacer el stock en casa, secos, duros, imposibles de cortar y mucho menos comer. El montón de huesos que queda en nuestros platos debería haber hecho sonrojar al personal... Khinkali (cordero) eran gruesos, el cordero tenía tanto gristle es era inmasticable! Khachapuri estaba mal cocinado y definitivamente corto de queso (no sulguni .. . ay) ¡Enormemente caro también!

En lugar de ir a un pub a por pescado con papas fritas, me encontré con este lugar. Está un piso más abajo de la acera con una entrada que es fácil de perder. Una vez dentro, es atendido por un personal georgiano. No hay decepción con el menú de elementos entre los que elegir. Disfruté un poco de cordero Khinkali y Khachapuri Adjaruli. Con la música georgiana de fondo, todo te ayuda a sentir que te han transportado al Cáucaso.

very tasty food, friendly service and Georgian music. We especially liked their salads and khangals. We billed £90 for 3 people, well worth the food

Very cosy spot for Georgian food, khinkali dumplings were a little too salty and food and drink is very expensive. Bought a bottle of wine and 8 khinkali dumplings for each of us (2 people) which added up to almost £100. Would recommend coming here for good food if you’re happy to splash out

First visit to a Georgian restaurant, although we were already familiar with their excellent wine. We had several dishes. The boat-shaped bread was excellent, ditto the aubergine with tomatoes and dolmas. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy the chicken in creamy garlic sauce at all and wished we hadn’t ordered it as it was just bones in a thin sauce. The final bill was almost £100 for the two of us, with one bottle of beer and one glass of wine. We know London is not cheap but didn’t think it was good value. Service was already added to our bill. A different experience in cozy surroundings downstairs but we won’t go again. Sorry a bit disappointed.

Very homey feel! Vibrant atmosphere. Excellent Georgian food (first time trying it, not disappointed!). Is highly recommend it. We shared a bunch of mains, which is convenient bc you can get a large flatbread to share and dip/eat if you’re in a group.

We found this place looking around South Kensington for a lunch and I have to say we weren't disappointed!!!!never tried Georgian food and have to admit veal stew was absolutely delicious. Our twin girls loved dumplings also. And their bread is absolutely gorgeous, in the end we ordered second one! Prices for London are very reasonable considering you have freshly cooked, delicious meal with friendly and polite service.

What a nice and precious jewel Georgian Restaurant: home quality authentic cuisine, Georgian hospitality and folk music! Stuff is brilliant ( Especially Mari) … what else can we wish to spent our limited time on Earth. 🌍 Definitely worth to visit. Mechanical Maintenance Engineer, Imperial College London.

Великолепная кухня, прекрасное обслуживание, уютный интерьер. Хочется вернуться снова и снова! Большое спасибо за всё!

Locale piccolino ma accogliente. Cibo abbastanza buono ma servito a temperatura non adeguata (antipasto freddo di frigo, piatto principale appena tiepido) e oltretutto tutto contemporaneamente, per cui nel tempo in cui ho mangiato l'antipasto l'altro piatto era freddo. Questa è una critica che viene fatta da molti, credo che chi manda avanti il ristorante dovrebbe tenerne conto. Buonissimo il pane caldo. Accoglienza: la signora che mi ha servito era gentile e sorridente quando sono arrivata, ma è finita lì. Appena finito di mangiare sono stata sollecitata a pagare il conto e ad andarmene, nonostante il locale non fosse affatto pieno e l'ora non tarda. Molto male questo atteggiamento. Prezzi un po' alti per quello che ho mangiato, anche considerando che si è a Londra.

Last night we were taken to Shoty for dinner by friends. Our first time to eat at a Georgian Restaurant, it will not be our last. From the street level you go down steps to the restaurant, it is like down in the cellar, nice atmosphere. The staff were happy to explain the menu , we ordered a variety of dishes and shared them . There was plenty to choose from and all what we had was enjoyed by all. Nice bread and sauces enhanced the food. We had a couple of Georgian wines, a red and a white also tried the beer . All very tasty. It was a nice night with friends and the food was very tasty

What a find! I love Georgian food, and was happy to find this place near where i was staying. I was early, and dining solo, which is not always welcomed, but here I was greetly warmly, made to feel very comfortable, given excellent service and a DELICIOUS meal. I had the Adjaruli Khachapuri (the one eveyone instagrams) and pkhali with the most delicious bread. And it was every bit as good as it looks in all the pictures. If you are in the neighborhood of the V&A and Natural HIstory museums, make this the place to go afterwards. In fact, no matter where you are in London, make this a place to go, it is worth seeking it out.

The only good thing is cosy place. Food is really bad, not Georgian at all. Satsivi tough, cold, basically skin an bones, no herbs, no spices. All food was delivered at the same time, so when you finish started and soup the main course is cold and not tasty at all. The chef refused to accept our complaints. I definitely do not recommend this place

The plov was a disgrace and was not tasty, there was no spice, the meat was too big to even chew, and too much black pepper. The meal was not salted properly

I always look forward to trying Georgian restaurants in the neighborhoods I stay in. The food was good here, but atmosphere was missing something. We arrived and went to the sub-street level entrance and were directed to go upstairs because there was some sort of private event downstairs. The upstairs appears to be a newer space. It was nice and clean and we were the only customers at first but someone in the back (the kitchen?) was smoking cigarettes when we arrived and I couldn't get past that.

Amazing food guys Kebab was amazing Plov was just delicious and their meat was so juicy and tender. Would.love to visit again

Very nice food, if you’re after Georgian food, worth having. However, the place is really small, and as soon as you finish ordering, you’ll be asked to leave because ‘somebody else has a reservation waiting’. However, when you reserve, no maximum seating time is indicated. The food is good, but keep ordering, otherwise you’ll have to leave.

Not authentic, not tasty, not fresh as everything made from frozen! No meat in borsh soup…just water,cabbage and potato. Vegetable salad and lemonade was good.

Good authentic food nice atmosphere and quick service. All you could want from a new experience of foreign food

Very nice shisha and tasty wine. Shisha prices from 100tl. Also was live music. Great hospitality and nice see View and location

This is the best place for Georgian food in London. The atmosphere is great. The staff is superb. The chef is just a great guy, who can get you any georgian dish even if you wish to get smth which is not there on their...

Foods was excellent. Surroundings were very beautiful and cozy. It would be better if the service was equally good,as they forgot to bring us some things that we ordered.

A Saturday night family meal for three, pre-booked for 18:30. First tip, if you haven't booked forget it as it's quite a small, cosy downstairs restaurant and is obviously popular. We were quickly shown to our table and our order taken after a few minutes....

Loved all of the different foods. Chicken liver is fabulous. The Georgian wine was surprisingly good. The service was friendly and personal.

We paid £92 and LEFT A GEORGIAN PLACE HUNGRY. It sounds ridiculous, right? We are huge fans of Georgian cuisine and really appreciate Georgian hospitality and generosity of Georgian people. But this was a total disappointment. You don't have to be an expert in a...

It was our 4th time today that we enjoyed lots of yummy food in this restaurant. It’s very cosy and atmospheric. We love the food and the staff are amazing. This is a really nice place. Thank you 🙏!

Great food. Also available on Deliveroo. Warm atmosphere, in the restaurant, super close to South Kensington station

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had not had Georgian cuisine before but actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Also the Georgian wine was great.

Had the bean pie and it came bland and dry, so I ordered sauce, and the sauce was too strong and inedible. Also, I ordered cornbread, which was very dry, bland, and over-priced, in addition, I ordered the mushroom Ketsi which came in a small...

Really got excited when found a place that serves Georgian food as it’s one of my favourite. This is a family run restaurant and looks very cosy. Location is brilliant too as close to South Kensington. We enjoyed the service however food was not that...

Found this restaurant by chance and couldn’t be happier! The service, especially the lady from Gadauri, was exceptional and really lived up to the famous Georgian hospitality. The food was exemplary and great value! I highly recommend the Khinkali, Georgian Wine and Georgian bbq. We...

I have been to Georgia many times and I know Georgian cuisine. The food is edible but it was not even close to what it should taste like. The kebab was very dry and served with frozen French fries. Khachapuri were hard, salad tasteless, lobio...

This is my first experience of Georgian food, and what an experience. The dining area is cosy and well decorated. The food was top quality - my fantastic starter Georgian salad with walnuts was followed by an excellent Kotnis Lobio (kidney beans in a clay...

Warm & friendly service. My friends were new to Georgian food so the recommendations were helpful. We all had three courses & enjoyed them all. I especially loved the aubergines with walnut paste & the khachapuri (cheesy bread) which was so wonderfully fresh!!! I’m a...

Wow - my new favourite restaurant in London! My first time trying Georgian food and I LOVED the cuisine. I felt like I was travelling in Europe, the restaurant is full of culture and played Georgian music. I tried a Georgian beer and we ordered...

Excellent food, excellent service nothing to fault it Kharcho, Khinkali and Khachapuri excellent plus a well stocked Georgian wine selection and Chacha

Amazing food and amazing service by Ana, she was very and very welcoming always on time with menu food and bill 10/10

One of my favourite restaurants in South Ken. Friendly staff and delicious, wholesome Georgian food. My favourite dishes are the karcho beef soup, the lobio kidney beans, khinkhali dumplings and of course cheese khachapuri. If you’re going to order Georgian wine make sure it’s dry....

If you want to have the worst dinning experience then I’ll recommend you to go to Shoty. Two meals that one got served in an hour and an half and the second that got 30 minutes later with its side getting 5 min after... When...

Very cosy place with delicious food, very friendly and attentive personnel. Wide choice of food and very reasonable price.

Many thanks for a wonderful dinner ! Very tasty, cozy atmosphere. We will come back again ! We can recommend this restaurant.

Came across this little gem by total accident . As I had never tired Georgian food I stepped down the stairs and I found a little Georgian restaurant with amazing hospitality , great authentic food , great unique atmosphere that delivers you away from the...

The best Georgian food I tried in London! Cozy atmosphere, delicious food! Everything we tried was top-notch, the Khinkali and the Adjapsndali were outstanding!

We came for lunch and had lamb ribs and an imeruli khachapuri. Both waiters were extremely attentive and kind. The chef, Ambrosi, gave both a particular touch. The lamb ribs were deliciously seasoned and the khachapuri was very tasty and light to eat. The waiter...

Fantastic food in a lovely athmosphere!!! The Georgian wine is excellent too... What more? Well they are super-friendly in the restaurant... do not hesitate to go there, you will not regret it!

Delicious georgian food and beverage! Staff is very friendly. You should visit this place and experience it all yourself.

I live locally and love Georgian food so imagine my excitement at this opening. So huge that I went twice in one week! All the delicious staples like khachapuri and khinkali plus a hearty beef soup, perhaps the best hot Lobio (bean) stew I’ve ever...

Outstanding customer service making you feel at home. Great food. Highly recommended. Very peaceful And quiet atmosphere. Would be visiting again soon

Very disappointed about this restaurant. The place was very cold I had to keep my coat on, average food which never arrived on time, very poor service we had to clean our own table, and after all the manager did not even asked if we...

Best chkmeruli 👌 and the restaurant is the best with their place and people as well. I love it and thank you

it was a lovely place, the atmosphere was great and the wine was excellent. It was all good, thank you

Nice place with friendly staff and good service. Loved the atmosphere and food. Definitely recommend it!

Food was very tasty and very nice cosy atmosphere. I loved the place. Chkmeruli and Chashushuli with Georgian wine were super.

New Georgian place just near South Kensington tube station.. Imereti khachapuri and baby chicken were really nice. Will definitely come back soon!

Very nice place. Food is excellent, staff is very friendly. We had Khinkali and Georgian red semi sweet wine Khvanchkara. Many compliments

I've been here with my family; we discover this wonderful place by chance: very good food, familiar location, tranquility and lot of smiles anf friendship. Let's taste the excelent georgian wines and the unique dishes made with the deep love for a tradition. Good luck...
