Tamada in Camden

We visited this Georgian restaurant with a couple of friends and we were amazed by those delicious dishes! We decided to have a taste of everything to share. If you will go there I definitely recommend to do the same so you can really discover their cucine deeply! We had a bottle of wine (how not to try it since it is generally considered the “cradle of wine”), Khachapuri, Lobio, Lobiani, Ajapsandali, Khinkhali and many others tasty food! Best value for money!

the restaurant is quite cosy with a nice ambiance, Food was super good! Fresh, well made and super tasty! Also service was like a cuddle, every dish was described with love and passion! I would say one of the best dinner this year! Thank you!

Some delicious and varied food, great Georgian wine, and friendly staff who took time to explain what was on the menu and how the wine was made. A really wonderful place for good food and wine, and a lovely evening.

Great dinner at wednesday night in this cozy, friendly place with amazing georgian cuisine. Everything was superb espe Italy mohali and khachapuri

I’ve been to Georgia before and I think that the food at Tamada is better than many of the restaurants in Georgia. I highly recommend trying visiting!

Under new management and retains its excellent reputation for great food and dishes

When in London for business and staying in a nearby hotel I had high expectations of Tamada. I love Georgian food and was looking forward to beautiful home cooked food. We were placed in the basement as there was a private party upstairs. All fine however no music no atmosphere, nothing. Khatchapuri was seriously good and tasted like it should be. The Tabaka chicken was tiny and not so filling. Also the purée was powder based and not good. My colleague had a veal stew which was also not wow. That with 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine set us back 75£. For a real taste of Georgia I have seen better places!

Was delighted to find this restuarant in an out of the way neighborhood near our hotel in London. I have been craving Georgian food (and wine!) since visiting there 2 years ago and this had all my favorites...I felt like I was in Tbilisi! The khachapuri was excellent and the walnut cake desert was divine! Prices were very reasonable.

Excellent food of the very highest quality Friendly warm atmosphere The best restaurant I have visited for years

First class a Georgian meal - excellent

First time trying Georgian food and I was impressed, really delicious. The restaurant is nice and cozy, everything we tried was so tasty (and somehow different to other cuisines I‘ve tried before). Staff also extremely nice. Everything perfect. Highly recommended, will definitely come back!

Small and authentic Georgian restaurant. Prices are very fair and quality very high level. Best Georgian restaurant outside of Georgia I dined at (out of approx 10 I tried so far). Excellent food, fairly wide selection of Georgian dishes and wines. Quick service. I can highly recommend it and will be back (still need to try the Kinkhali!).

A truly outstanding restaurant with delightful staff and excellent service.

Excellent food and service I cannot recommend this friendly warm restaurant more highly

Never ceases to impress me. Authentic Georgian food with amazing wines and deserts. Definitely a good address to impress your guests (at a reasonable price).

Excellent meal with excellent service

Another first class meal - excellent in every way.

Superb food, excellent service a place to return to time and time again. First class restaurant.

Having previously eaten at Tamada, we decided to try their cooking masterclass. We opted for a three-hour option for two. That included cooking Georgian starters and tasting those with a glass of wine. That was great fun. The class is suitable even for people without much cooking experience. Apparently, Georgian cooking is a simple and enjoyable process with guaranteed success. Our chef Tamara was great and guided us through the recipes with a lot of passion and dedication. Also she was brilliant in tolerating our lack of cooking talent :-) After the session, Tamara shared the recipes and the list of ingredients. I'm excited to cook some more of those delicious Khachapuri at home.

Lovely evening, attentive staff, fantastic Georgian wine.

Jankoe and cheese bread and the meze - all excellent tasty dishes! This is a very authentic georgian restaurant and the service is good.

We loved the Salad Oliviye, the soup and the khatchapuri bread with cheese - a Georgian speciality. I would probably come back here just for the oliviye to be honest. The hostess Tamara is a very nice lady and the service was efficient and well-timed between the appetizers and mains. We went on a Wednesday evening so it wasnt busy but would probably require a reservation for the weekend. Unfortunately they didn’t have Borjomi, but maybe next time. Would return!

We had a delicious Sunday evening meal. Service was friendly and efficient and the food tasty.We were particularly impressed that no flour is used in thickening sauces. Many menu choices are GLUTEN free so it will be a venue to which we shall bring our gluten intolerant friends, who will have a good choice of food.

We had looked at this restaurant for several years, but never visited. The ambience was delightful as was the service. The food was delicious, especially as flour is not used in thickening sauces. We shall certainly be visiting this venue again as we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

This is a family run place and the food is both interesting and delicious. It's unpretentious but everything is freshly prepared and tempting. This is the time to try good Georgian wine too. We will definitely return.

The food and wine was very good! All prepared to order. Khachpuri are simply awesome! We chared one in the restaurant and took one to go!

Five of us, so we could sample each other's choices, For starters we had a cold meze, kachapuri bread and blini. I thought the meze might not be very different from, say, Turkish meze, but it was - the Citeli Lobio, mashed up red beans with walnuts, herbs, garlic & Georgian spices, was delicious, as was Badrijani, pan fried aubergine rolls with onions, spices, garlic and walnuts. The bread was stuffed with a cottage cheese, warm and good. Mains: the lamb dish came with a heavy taste of tarragon, so that was a unusual for me. Chicken roast also with tarragon. the beef and pork dumplings had a herby flavour too, so we were beginning to get the gist of Georgian spices. Rattatouille recommended. The dumplings should really be to share rather than one person's main, as they are quite large, and there were at least 5 of them. Georgina coffee comes with a small bite of their walnut cake - really recommend you order the walnut cake as a full portion too - the walnuts are minced up into almost a mouse. The Mukuzani red wine was very smooth and light.

Enjoyed a leisurely lunch on a beautiful late summer Sunday afternoon in September with my wife and son near his current home in Maida Vale. We started with the cold vegetable meze followed by the excellent Tabaka (chicken roasted in a garlic & coriander sauce), Jarkoe (baked veal with cheese & potatoes) and Khinkali meat dumplings. The traditional Georgian cuisine at this small restaurant in St John's Wood is unique and I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys cuisine from the Eastern Mediterranean & Black Sea regions of Europe and the Middle East.

Nunca habíamos comido en un restaurante georgiano pensamos probarlo visitar Londres. Totalmente de haberlo hecho. Ambos tenían bolas para nuestro plato principal, uno con carne y una vegetariana, tenía un montón de diversión se mostrará cómo comer y muy sabroso. Sin duda volveremos a visitar y probar comida de nuevo en otro sitio basado en georgiano esta experiencia.

The best place in the city to enjoy traditional Georgian cuisine! The place looks small and warm, the staff always there to help and most important, the food is simply amazing. You will enjoy it 100%. We will visit again!

Londres necesita más restaurantes georgianos. En su mejor momento, la cocina y el vino son individuales y excelentes. Este restaurante es bueno, pero podría ser mejor. En mi visita, habían perdido mi reserva a pesar de mi reconfirmación. Una cantidad de platos no estaban disponibles. No había carne a la parrilla, un elemento básico de la cocina georgiana, en el menú. Y los precios son bastante altos. Sin embargo, nuestra comida fue deliciosa. Las albóndigas Khinkali son mejores como plato compartido: son demasiado pesadas para comer sin acompañamiento como plato principal.

Loved the food! The aubergines were to die for and the mains we had were full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The waitress was top of the league, attentive but not invasive. Wil definitely be back and tell my friends about this beautiful restaurant. :)

A quiet evening for the restaurant so lacked a little atmosphere it was a bit bright for romantic date. I thought the service was polite at first and became more friendly as the evening went on.

This was a meal with a difference for our group of six, only one of whom had eaten Georgian food before. For our starter she advised us to share a couple of mezes, which we all agreed were delicious. All except one loved their main course - the Jarkoe was apparently a bit dry. The walnut cake was wonderful.

Great food and great service! Great for casual dinner with friends

Great service and good quality, tasty food. Average ambience. Slightly overpriced in my opinion but overall good 👌🏻

The food lives beyond expectations. You can't explain Georgian food but once you've had it you know you fall in love with it and at Tamada they know how to make it

Era la primera vez que probé la comida georgiana, y era simplemente increíble. Se trata de un excelente restaurante, con una decoración moderna, con cuadros originales de Tbilissi, mesas están correctamente ajustados y los cubiertos es exquisito. Pero lo más importante aquí, es la comida, por supuesto. Está llena de sabor! Bien cocinada y presentada en el plato con gusto y un experimentado savoir faire. Pedir consejo al personal si dudar si alojarte acerca de qué orden, son serviciales y muy simpático. Estoy seguro que regresaré.

I'm very happy we've found this place, it is a real authentic Georgian cuisine. Menu is not very large, but there is everything I like - khachapuri, lobio, khinkali. We'll definitely be back

Así que he estado en todos los restaurantes georgiana en Londres y creo que este es mi favorito por la comida. El ambiente es bueno, no es un lugar enorme, pero es perfectamente cómodo. El servicio es amable y servicial, que realmente parecen tener todo en su lista de vinos, que es una ventaja. Costo es perfectamente razonable para la calidad. Estábamos a 3 campos cada uno para dos personas con vino y café, factura total £100

I ordered food by deliveroo and was really disappointed. The size of hachapuri was way tto small for the price I've paid. 3 pounds for few spoons of sour cream for khinkali (giant dumplings).... Expected more((

Cálido ambiente casero, personal fantástico, deliciosos platos de la cocina tradicional harán que su visita sea inolvidable.

Es la primera vez que probé la comida georgiana. El restaurante sirve la mitad de precio de mercado y nos gustó la manera de cocinar carnes georgiana. No hay verduras inusualmente cálido, pero no estábamos hambrientos, como además del plato principal teníamos un entrante acompañado de pan negro y postre. La selección de postres es limitada, pero los postres y el pan están hechas en el restaurante.

Este pequeño restaurante escondido en Boundary Road ofrece cocina tradicional en los desplazamientos. precios altamente El khachapuri (caliente chapatis con Queso derretido) y khinkali (bolas de carne georgiana, cuyas formas se asemejan a cuerdas carteras) son especialmente recomendables para los principiantes. Platos más inusuales, pero igualmente apetecible incluyen chick con ajo y con frijoles. khachapuri Un maravilloso regalo para cualquiera que desee familiarizarse con esta cocina distinguido.

Really excellent genuine Georgian food with a small but quality wine and beer selection. The native Georgian staff are very competent, patient and friendly. As other reviewers have noted, no it's not cheap, but then again it depends on your frame of reference. If you are comparing it to Georgian restaurants in Tblisi or even Moscow for that matter, it is more expensive. If you expect it to be the same price as your local Indian then again, yes it is more expensive. But I don't believe the prices compare unfavourably with other Georgian restaurants in London and in my opinion this is the best one. And it is significantly cheaper than high end establishments. I am lucky to live nearby and go there often.

This is one of the very few Georgian restaurants in London and definitely a very good one. Khachapuri was great (though I have a small complaint about the fact there's only 2 types of it, while traditionally there's several more), the dumplings were great too, probably with a touch less herbs than you'd normally find them (for me a good thing). Not many deserts on offer, which is a bit of a shame, but the one I had (a walnut cake called "ideali") was very good.

Really fantastic, genuine, and high quality Georgian food. The service was outstanding as well, and the bottle of Georgian red was one of the best I have had in a long time. Highly recommended restaurant, we will definitely be back.

No muy lejos de la estación de metro de swiss cottege se encuentra este acogedor restaurante de comida georgiana. La comida es muy casera y muy sabrosa. Destacar los panes en especial el relleno de huevo y mantequilla. De entrantes destacar los rollizos de berenjenas, las espinacas y los champiñones con granadas. De platos principales los dumpings rellenos de carne picada con salsa picante y el pollo al ajillo están muy buenos. Los vinos de la casa georgianos son bastante aceptables los blancos y el tinto aceptable sin más pretensiones. El precio ni barato ni caro unas 40 £ por persona con media botella de vino por cabeza..todo muy sabroso y casero. Recomendable.

Boundary Road, which marks the eponymous border between the boroughs of Westminster and Camden has a remarkably diverse range of restaurants along the small stretch of its western end. The Meghna Grill Indian is a much-loved and familiar favourite, but my dining comrades and I were in search of something different while in the area on a recent weekday evening and so opted for Tamada, which can probably claim to be one of London’s few Georgian restaurants. Prior to my visit, I have to confess knowing...

Ottimo ristorante con personale gentile.Piatti delicati e gustosi. Ottima scelta dei vini, anch'essi georgiani

場所も住宅街のなかのハイストリートにあって、近くに住んでる人しか知らないようなお店。ご近所に住んでるというお友達に連れて行ってもらいました。肉まんみたいなものがすごい美味しくて、隣のグルジア人たちがそれをお焼きにしてもらっていたので、お店の人にあれと同じようにしてって頼んで持ってきてもらったらすごくおいしかったです。

This is the third time I have been to this restaurant. The quality and genuineness of the food is consistent. This is good earthy central asian food which is quite tasty. thr starters or mezze are excellent. Everyone enjoyed their main course whether stuffed cabbage or Russian style filled dumplings or meat. But the best was to come - an outrageously delicious cake for desert made from honey, almonds and cram an absolute must. The cheaper wine was excellent and very reminiscent of a fulsome Spanish red. The only drawback was a friend of the lady owner who was totally drunk and noisy.

Extremely tasty acharuli khachapuri and eggplant rolls with walnuts. Reasonably priced. To recommend.

Very warm welcome and friendly helpful service. The only place in London to try Georgian cuisine which I love very much

...but unfortunately it isn't. It's a cross-town return trip that I've been meaning to make for a long time. Tucked in a little enclave of neighbourhood joints off Abbey Road, Tamada offers food you won't find everywhere. iMicca is very much mistaken, unless I am very much mistaken - there are at least 4 other Georgian restaurants and if iMicca thinks this is pricey, s/he should steer well clear of at least two of them.Yes Georgian food is very cheap in Georgia. Tbilisi rents are a fraction of St John's Wood - only one of the most expensive areas of the capital. Also, it's not very cheap to bring stuff from there to here because the demand is small. I'll also warrant that very few of the regular vintners serving the London restaurant trade carry an interesting list of Georgian wines. Yet the wines are listed at fairly standard London prices. I don't recall wine being particularly cheap in Tbilisi. I also don't recall it being as good as the wines they've unearthed here. I didn't venture near the red side of the list. Georgia's flinty white wines are more to my taste.Khachapuri (addictive gooey cheese bread) is cheap in Georgia and the £7.50 price tag does seem hefty until you consider that if you rolled out that dough flat and chucked the cheese on top and called it pizza, you would probably be charging more for it even in a chain. And it is addictive. Last time I was here it was a more refined morsel with the dough crispier. We were forced to order two by it's deliciousness. Now they've upgraded the portion size and it's softer, but still pretty good.We cut through the khachapuri (you do have to) with a delicious Olivier salad. Last time I was here it was more potatoey. This time there were more veg. It was still the most delicious version of Olivier in town. I got a takeaway of it - my sister shovelled it in. It's good.There's a choice of 3 vegetarian mains - you certainly wouldn't get that in Georgia. Or in most places here. There's a regular and veggie-adapted khinkali. Khinkali are cute and worth having once, but I suspect even if you are not veggie, they might not be the most tasty thing on the menu. On the veggie side, the lobio (kidney beans) was delicious with Georgian spicing, which I love and is not like any other. This is only £9.50 a pot. Not bad value at all.We rounded off with some excellent walnut cake and weird warm grape jelly. Three courses, a glass of wine each with each course, £50 a head. I'm going to admit here that for this style of food, this feels a bit pricey. We messed up a bit by ordering by the glass, instead of the bottle, because we thought we weren't going to drink much - not sure how we drew that conclusion while sober. We ended up just ordering the same wine by the glass all the way because it was so nice. Optimising that strategy would have brought us closer to £40 p/h, whcih is starting to feel in the right ball park all told.The welcome is warm, the staff friendly and efficient. We hobbled of into the rainy night happy with our lot.

Service is friendly and food was delicious.

Staying in one of the local hotels I walked passed this restaurant and seeing it was Georgian food looked interesting. I visited the restaurant the following evening and was not disappointed.There was a warm friendly welcome when I entered the restaurant and having not eaten Georgian before help with the menu was greatfully received. Would certainly recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area or anyone wishing to try Georgian food, you wont be disappointed. I will be going back.

I have tried Georgian food since I was first in Georgia many years ago and since then understand pretty well how their food should taste, be priced and quantity of it per dish ordered. Well, I think this restaurant benefits from being the only Georgian-only restaurant in London if I am not mistaken and hence their prices are out of control. 12£ for 6 dumplings (khinkali) seriously? No such prices should exist, especially when khinkali is one of the cheapest dishes in Georgia, should be affordable. It does not require much of work or any expensive ingredients, but here Tamada wants to make huge money out of it. 5* is only given because I like Georgian food and because of high rating more people may visit and try which is good!

I have been several time at Tamada's. Located in a quaint street of St John's Wood, we love this real Georgian culinary experience: cold ( and warm) starters, baked bread, giant dumplings to start. The veal casserole and the chicken in garlic&coriander sauce are a must. Their walnut and honey cake is delicious. Good choice of Georgian wines. Highly recomendable!

The restaurant was well decorated with lovely prints of Georgian buildings and landscape. The typical Georgian food we chose was not overpowering in terms of flavours but nevertheless very tasty and came in a timely manner with reasonable portions. Our waitress was attentive, informative and friendly. The wine selection of Georgian wines was sufficient and the bottle chosen was good. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone wanting to experience a new cuisine in a clean and ambient place to eat. Price for two courses and a bottle of wine came to £78 for 2 people.

Never had Georgian food before. It is great. The wine is amazing. We had the chicken to share as it is a large portion just like the starters

We were taken here by my son who was looking for something a little different. Georgian food certainly fit the bill.The staff are extremely pleasant and attentive, but I felt their ability to assist with the menu, given how different the food is, was a little lacking.I chose Adjaruli Khachapuri to start followed by Khinkali. The Adjaruli Khachapuri is a bread base filled wilt cheese and egg and baked. The dish is lovely with a fondue like consistency, sadly the size of this as a starter is such that it puts you under pressure for the next course. Adjaruli Khachapuri is an odd dish to my mind. You are served with six large dumplings filled with minced pork & beef etc... but that is it. There is nothing but dumpling. It was hearty, tasty and very filling, but somewhat monotonous.Bearing in mind that these dishes are traditional Georgian, my conclusion is Georgian food is too heavy for me.A lovely evening but, for me, once was enough.

Having been introduced to Georgian food at Aragvi in Moscow, we have found that this is the only Georgian restaurant in London that gets near to it. Excellent khatchapuri and satsivi and tasty chicken tabaka and a delicious honey and nut cake. The lady who served us was lovely.My only regret is that they don't have chakhokhbili on the menu

We had booked thos restaurant for 6:30, when we got there we were told out table wasn't ready, it was too early. One of the dishes i wanted was off the menu, there wasn't very much else that i fancoed. My starter was burnt on the outside and my husband's Borsht soup was completely tasteless. My dumplings as a main course weren't completely cooked and when cut water camr gushing out, we did't stay...got the bill and were out. The staff could have been more friendlier too.

A cosy little restaurant serving authentic Georgian cuisine. When I lived in Tbilisi I never paid more than about £10 a head for a meal out (inc wine); obviously a London restaurant would not be so easy on the wallet....So it was a little pricey for what we got but all tasty and served with a friendly smile. Khatchapuri (cheesy bread) was as good as it could be without the proper Sulguni cheese, Lobio (stewed beans) and Badrigani (aubergines with walnut paste) were very good. Couldn't resist rounding off the meal with the traditional Khinkali (dumplings) and Chacha (Grappa shot). If you've never tried Georgian food before give it a go!

I so much enjoy dining at Tamada. Natalya is always so lovely and greets me as does the proprietor Tamara. You know it is good as it is always filled with Georgian guests and many Russians who adore Georgian food.I love all the dishes, particularly the meatballs. They have a very nice meze platterI cannot liken Georgian cuisine to any other food I eat.I was just there for my birthday last Saturday.

If you're anywhere near Abbey Road / St Johns Wood in London, make a detour to visit Tamada! Excellent food, wine and service.The filled dumplings in particular were lovely. The soup inside the dumplings is a treat in itself - part of the fun was trying to eat the dumpling without losing any of the liquid inside. Try the cheese-filled bread and the Georgian Olivie vegetable salad as well - both delicious.

I was looking forward to this evening with my girl friend who is ukrainian, and we both were disappointed by our experience in Tamada.Very nice service, clearly authentic staff. All the people on table spoke Russian or Georgian.Spent 100 pounds, 70 on food with no dessert, which we found not worth the price.Wine was ok.I wouldnt say it was bad, but i have eaten much better georgian food in london.I will not come back.

ロシアで食べたグルジア料理はいい大人になってからの感動的な発見でした。ロンドンでも楽しめるというので行ってみました。名前はわからないのですがほうれん草や香辛料をまとめた前菜、ナスに松の実と日本人が好きな味です。チーズと生卵を合わせたハチャプリというピザのようなパンも絶品です。最もオススメするのが「ヒンカリ」という小籠包の大きなものです。中に肉と肉汁が入っていて小籠包よりももっとどっしりとしたボリュームを楽しめます。グルジアはソ連の指導者スターリンの生誕した場所でもあり、ワインの産地としても知られていて、やや甘めのワインを楽しむことが出来ます。値段も比較的安め、そして日本人駐在員が多いセント・ジョンズ・ウッドやスイス・コテージから徒歩圏内ということもあるので旅行の人も是非、足を運んでみることをオススメします。この味は日本では楽しめません。

Never had georgian food before and I was pleasantly surprised. Had the meze platter (which was great) and dumplings for main. The dumplings were tasty but next time I'd share the dish with other people as I'd like to try some other flavours as well.

Tamada is a lovely place: authentic georgian atmosphere with absolutely delicious Georgian food. Personnel are friendly and food was served in a good time. However, the restaurant could potentially attract more repeated customers if the portion size was a bit bigger, but than we are students :)

Eat here on a Wednesday night - only one other table although two more late bookings joined. So great for a quiet meal if a little lacking in ambience. Great service - good veal stew with excellent mashed potato - although cheese bread was good - fresh baked, crispy and a large portion at £6:00 it was overpriced - but meal really made by superb fresh made Walnut Cake - if you like cake you have to try this!

We've been to this restaurant several times and it's consistently a very enjoyable atmosphere and meal. The staff are generally attentive, and the selection of dishes provides options for all tastes. The wine list also offers an unusual selection of Georgian wines that are otherwise hard to find in London. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant to if you're near Abbey Road.

If you are looking for Georgian cuisine in London, this is a great place to visit. Myself Armenian, enjoy Georgian food a lot and know a lot about it. This place, I am not saying is the best representation of traditional Georgian food and taste, but quite close. Everything tastes great, however some dish portions are small for their high price (e.g. khinkali). So the price is my only complaint. Be prepared to pay relatively medium to high bill after decent meal, which is expected, as it is in London. So, overall, nice place to visit, say, once per month if you miss Georgian food in the UK.

excellent food, brilliant staff, reasonable prices. had my birthday dinner there and all the friends still remember that memorable evening

As we didn't actually dine here felt unfair to mark 1 star but the venue deserves some feedback. we had booked online through top table and received a confirmation email . booked our taxi and arrived only to find the restaurant not open. It was actually closed for renovations. So we had to pay the taxi to take us elsewhere. very disappointing, you shouldn't allow bookings to be made when you aren't open

Two of us had eaten Georgian food & two had eaten Georgian food several times in Russia. We all thought the food here was pretty bad on the whole. The meat dumplings were awful: the meat was incredibly salty & the dumpling pastry was thick, heavy & undercooked. The stuffed cabbage was better. The Georgian wine was interesting & worth trying (£25 bottle). The service was excellent.

Great little place, with friendly service and excellent food. Hadn't had Georgian food before but will certainly visit again. The dumplings are great, the chicken in garlic and walnut sauce was unique and the black beans and walnut salad was a real surprise. Overall, certainly worth more than one visit.

Maybe we were just unlucky - but this was the worst experience we've had for ages at a restaurant. The only main dish we wanted was unavailable, as was the bread we wanted. We were brought instead some stale, dry corn bread, for which we were then charged £6. Everything was bad - and no hint of an apology for the items being unavailable, the bread inedible or the service slow.

We visited these restaurant that is located in St. Jhon's Wood a very small restaurant but quite clean and nicely decorated. I came with some friends that have never tried the Georgian food and with children. I have to see that the service was amazing and they were very tolerant of the children (as well the people on the other tables). The menu tell you the waiting time for some particular dishes and it was spot on. We have the baby potatoes, katchapury, badjiranni, citeli lobio and ispanakhi. All was delicious maybe the spinach were too dry but it was an amazing discovery of new favours. I just have put a little more of pomegranate, but this is because my personal taste. For main course we had Khinkali these georgian dumpling (were bigger that expected) and amazing we have like 3 giant portions and quite tricky to eat but the waitresses was able to explained to the people that are trying for the first time. The wine was amazing as well is the first time that I have a Georgian's red and we had a bottle of Mukuzani and I have to say that it was amazingly good. In conclusion food and service amazing but pricey.

cheerful service and interesting food made this a Georgian experience.

初めてのグルジア料理。どんなものが提供されるのかとドキドキしながら伺いました。初めてだったので、お店の人にお勧めを伺いながら注文。前菜の盛り合わせは、トルコ料理にも似た雰囲気があり、どれも香辛料が効いていて美味しかったです。チーズの入ったパンも、当然ながら焼き立てで大満足。巨大な餃子の形をしたダンプリングも美味しく、メインのお肉料理も香辛料が効いていて、複雑な味でしたが、とても美味しかったです。大変楽しい食事になりました。

Georgia nestles in the Caucasus (not in Africa as a work colleague supposed!) and combines a number of culinary influences from its neighbours and from the fact that it was previously part of the Soviet Union. On the menu there are dishes that are reminiscent of Iranian cuisine using pomegranate and walnuts and others that are Slavic in origin such as borscht, blini etc. As Georgia is a Christian country unlike nearby Iran and Azerbaijan, pork and wine are also used as ingredients. The restaurant is licensed and sells very potent oak-aged Georgian vodka (chacha) which will bring tears to your eyes.On our visit we sampled badrijani (chilled aubergine with walnuts and pomegranate), pan-fried baby potatoes, chashushuli (a veal and tomato stew served with mashed potato) and chaqapuli (reasonably spicy lamb stew served with crusty white bread rolls). We did not have khachapuri, which seems to have been a serious error on our part which must be rectified on our next visit.The waitress was very attentive and we received our food promptly. The menu helpfully warns which dishes take longer to prepare, which is also a strong indication that the food is prepared fresh. We enjoyed all of our dishes though we feel we played it a bit safe and should have ordered some of the more elaborate items on the menu. The food is well-presented and the stews come in attractive clay dishes. The restaurant itself is very tastefully decorated.My only criticism is that the restaurant is quite expensive.

こちらに行った事のある友人に連れて行ってもらいました。グルジア？ジョージア？ワイン発祥と言われている国で興味津々でした。オーダーはすべて友人にお任せだったので名前は分かりませんが東と西が上手く混ざった日本人にも馴染めそうなお味。チーズの入ったもちもちしたパンと大きな餃子のような小龍包のようなダンプリングが美味しかった。ワインもスパークリング、白、赤と飲みました。ローカルのブドウ品種で初めての体験。素朴で美味しかった。普段、馴染みのない国のレストランはあまり行く気になりませんが、今回新しい発見ができて楽しかったです。皆様も是非。

These Kind of Tapas restaurant are getting more popular year by year, we loved the food, the prices are a little excessive!!

Pros: delicious full of flavor food...hacapuri ( home-made bread with cheese filing ) melting in you mouth!! nice atmosphere and big portionsCons: a bit pricey..£16 for a main, the menu doesn't have much to choose fromOverall, pleasant experience

Came to Tamada last month for a great evening behind the scenes learning how to make authentic Georgian Khachapuri bread and a range of starters. Everyone was really generous, friendly and enthusiastic and I left with piles of delicious food to share with my flatmates.Thanks again!

Brilliant food, nice atmosphere. The food is plenty, but make sure you keep some space for the walnut cake.

This restaurant is something different, and it's always good to have some variety! Some frankly delicious food, with very good service. The wines are probably a bit expensive for the quality, and overall a full meal is going to be a bit spendy. Definitely worth a try, though.

I went to tamada ,and it was best choice. Food is very good and waitress was very friendly and nice ,she gave us excellent advices.. im going back soon for sure.

I went to Tamada after 3 years again and was amazed that the quality of food is even better than before. The atmosphere was good with one little missing part, waitresses were not smiling, seem she was not a mood. However the food aubergines and lamb in lots of herbs with red fruitfully wine Mukuzani were so good we did not pay much attention on a moody waitress. Hence thanks to the chef! Will be back soon to try new dishes we were told about. Worth trying

I visited this restaurant at the urging of my daughter who had lived in the area and loved this cuisine, which is completely unlike anything I had eaten before. It's wise to order the typical Georgian bread served with eggs on top as a starter on arrival as it takes a while to prepare but is worth every mouthful! The casseroles are delicately flavoured with a unique spice combination I hadn't encountered before, and for simply something different it's well worth a try, but in this cold weather it's a delightful warm up job! It's reasonably priced and makes a wonderful change from our usual eat out choices. Heartily recommended.

I've booked a table in Tamada to see my best friends remembered from last time such a good atmosphere and amazing food... Unfortunately not anymore. Straight away when we've entered the restaurant we've seen bad mood of a waitress. For the rest of the night no even smile for a second. Such a shame no music in the background whitch we expected in Georgian restaurant... We were feeling like we are not welcome at all. Cold atmosphere made my experience even worse. Won't come back here! Thanks

We noticed reviews for this restaurant while staying in the area and it sounded intriguing. We chose mostly menu items with a symbol indicating they were house specialties recommended by the chef (red beans, lamb with tarragon). Most everything was very good with some flavors and combinations of flavors that were new to us. The service was attentive and friendly. We were a little disappointed in the bottle of wine that we ordered, which was not chilled at all (white). But this is a place we would gladly visit again to try more of the menu and learn more about Georgian cuisine. We didn't order any of the items that required a 45 minute wait, but we might do next time.

I have been to Tamada restaurant on several occasions, usually with family or few friends.Have to say that the atmosphere and the food are always good.But recently I have decided to hold a birthday party at Tamada restaurant and I was not disappointed.Everything was organized to perfection. The food was lovely and the service attentive.So, will definitely recommend this place for holding a party, like birthday etc ...If you go there, khachapuri (bread with cheese) and grilled aubergines with nuts are must, they are beautiful!

Food amazing, that's how supposed to taste Georgian Food. Well done. Thanks for lovely evening, food was worth to wait long time and only one thing I think they should serve white wine cold in ice bucket anyway thank you for your hospitality. Didi Maldoba. Natalya.

Made a special trip out to Maida Vale to try this place out. If you haven't had georgian food then you must have it! incredibly delicious it is. By Georgian standards this place is pretty good, all the starters were really nice and presented with a little flair. The Khachapuri was not the best i've had but still noteworthy. The walnut cake for dessert was a real highlight and went down a real well. The decor is nice here, service is a little cold though. Price is a little more than some other georgian establishments. They apparently do cooking classes here which i'd love to try out. Overall this is better than your average georgain place.

Tamada cooks and serves authentic Georgian food and wine. The service is excellent and the choice of dishes is wide ranging. If you like well-cooked, tasty East European food, you will enjoy Tamada.

This is one of the best meals I've ever had in London. The food was simply awesome. I will definitely come back. Thank you for this lovely evening.

After trying Georgian food of late due to trips to the Ukraine and Russia, I was looking forward to heading to Tamada after reading the good reviews.I have to say the menu is lovely and diverse with a lot too choose from. My husband and I headed to the restaurant with my friend and his partner on a Friday night.You can not go pass the cheese egg bread, traditional and delicious. We ordered a range of foods and shared them around. Very authentic food and the Georgian wines were not to be scoffed at as well. The wines are priced reasonably and lot to chose from. Lovely full bodied ones to light licorice tast ones.The service here is also very welcoming, warm and real. Our waitress could not do enough for us with suggesting dishes and wines and providing good alternatives.Hint- definitely order the walnut cake for dessert.
