I go to Gagra every year, and I always liked lula kebab here, the most delicate, very tasty, in the evening there was live music and cool (to goosebumps with an operatic voice) and just a man shouted, everything was. And here we are again, we went to a familiar, proven place, ordered an aperol spritz, and a chicken cradle (lamb, no more), a cradle that tastes strange, peppered and completely tasteless, a cocktail is also wonderful, apparently champagne is bullshit, but cocktails here (in Abkhazia) I've noticed for a long time that it's not worth drinking if you know the reference taste of a particular cocktail. The waiter is friendly, served quickly. I give 4 stars according to the old, memory, how cool it was before
I was with a guy at this place on August 24, just went to the first place on the way to have a snack. It looked super decent, but no:
1. When we visited, we did not look super presentable (disheveled, in casual clothes) and we were greeted like homeless people. No one said a word at the entrance, we walked in silence and sat down. We took the menu ourselves and sat for 10 minutes. We approached the employee at the bar ourselves, asked how long to wait - they told us that they would fit;
2. Long wait. It is clear from the message above that everything is super slow. We waited for the waiter for about 20 minutes. From the order, the aperol / compote was brought in 15-20 minutes, cream soup in 30, pizza in an hour ☠️
3. Politeness. I'll put this in a separate item - the waiter came up silently, just came up and waited for us to start talking first. He did not respond to the greeting and so the entire period of communication;
When the bill was paid (1600 rubles, including tips), I handed over 2000 and asked for the change back. The young man appreciated it quite emotionally with facial expressions
4. During the visit, we saw a girl with a cute corgi puppy come into the cafe, then they went into the kitchen together, where our dishes were being prepared (the kitchen is open, so you can see what and how). We didn't get poisoned there, but the dog in the kitchen confused us, even as cute as a corgi
4. With all the points above - 10% of the receipt you will pay for the service;
Of the advantages:
1. The food was really delicious, the cream soup is just a bomb, the compote is incredible. In short, everything was delicious
2. The interior is beautiful, pleasant music, air conditioning
The general conclusion is that if you have a lot of time, good nerves and have a jar of Polysorb in stock - try to go. But I wouldn't recommend it.
It tastes like an amateur meal.
There is a variety, but we were in another hotel, so if there is a barbecue, then from different meat, if cheese is sliced, it is also different, sausage, etc. The availability of fruits is varied. On the third day, the food was so boring that I didn't really want to go to eat... May, 2024. P.S.
the food is almost all cold.... Although they came in time.
I went to this institution because I was very hungry. I bought tom yam, because they usually serve rice with soup and there should be a lot of side dish in the soup itself. As a result, Tom yam was brought without rice, after 15-20 minutes, just broth, three mushrooms, three shrimps and that's it. There were no squid, mussels, tomatoes or other food. And all this cost a cosmic 500 rubles. Just for the spicy broth with 3 shrimps. I remembered for myself that I would not visit this institution again in my life.
And by the way, the attitude towards the guest is 0/5. The music is loud, the head starts to hurt from this, it is impossible to listen
We went to this place with friends in the evening, there were a lot of people, the waiters tried, they were polite, BUT still the service was at a low level.
We ordered seafood, which was very tasty, but the soup was terribly over-salted and it was impossible to eat.
The result of the food: you need to guess whether they will bring a delicious dish or not)
Don't waste time, nerves and money on this place. We sat down very well, so we were immediately able to pull the waiter by the sleeve to bring the menu. The people who came before us did not wait for him. While we were waiting for the order, 4 tables came out without waiting for anything. Well, as you understand, we are very patient. The waiter takes the order for memory, as a result, after 20 minutes he came to ask for the order again, because he allegedly lost it. OK. We are waiting for more. But the most amazing thing is that two dishes were never brought to us, because they forgot to punch anyway. Service-0, customer orientation-0,
Food quality-0
It's a great place. The prices are reasonable (we have bypassed more than 20 cafes and canteens). Pizza 450r, Caesar 350r, kebab 250r and the most decent cappuccino 150r. Everything is very tasty, especially the pizza "fire", the dough is thin, everything is as we like. The cafe is not hot, the air conditioners are working. It is unclear where the bad reviews come from.
We took food with us. We took lula, 2 trout, khachapur. In the end, everything was burnt. It's a pity they didn't see it right away, they threw it all at the kebab maker and the baker. They burned it down to coal. Everything is bitter because of this, which is impossible to eat. The music is wildly loud, there is no toilet in this "restaurant", you will have to run opposite to the paid one. While waiting for the order, we noticed that all the tablecloths were stained. I don't recommend coming here.
Go around, came to dinner with my husband, as a result, they brought expired ribs. The cook claimed they were fresh, but they smelled as if they had died a month ago. I do not recommend this institution!
Cafe Abkhazia.
Long service, although few people.
Grilled vegetables were served burnt, see the photo.
The pork neck kebab was served dry, apparently it was just warmed up yesterday, or the cook on the grill does not know how to cook at all.
The portions are clearly underweight, it can be seen by eye.
The price tag is cosmic for such an institution. Regular chicken noodles 400 rubles +10% for service. Are you serious? Gagripsh smokes nervously))) I understand that after the storm in the fall of 2023, it is necessary to beat off repair costs, but this is just too much!
Visited in February 2024.
Otherwise: the noodles are thick and quite edible, the music does not scream, the guys are smiling, warm, there were no other visitors.
The place inside looked good, so we came here, we were without Internet and could not see the reviews) we made an order, we really wanted a barbecue, we waited a long time ... they brought pork, it was very tough, it was not even chewed. The waiter came up and asked if everything was okay, we replied, tough meat. The waiter's answer was: "Local pork"))) Grilled vegetables are tasteless. Two stars for delicious French fries and wine

We celebrated our birthday there, accidentally got into the institution, as it rained heavily and there was nowhere else to run, we decided to stay, have a snack and dance. As a result: a very large check per person, terrible food tastes, drunks who molested (and no one removed them from the institution), a terrible stench from the trash (which is open in the hall). When ordering Caesar, I didn't even think that it could smell SO BAD, as if it had been standing for a year. So, plus to all this, everyone else has come down with rotovirus (it's possible that this is a coincidence, but still)
We went to this place, pleasant music and atmosphere. After the order was placed, hell broke loose - one of the staff turned on the music and left, his head began to burst. We sat like that for 15-20 minutes while waiting for the order. All desires disappeared by themselves, with such an attitude towards visitors. The meat was brought raw.They didn't eat anything. They just left. I do not recommend it.
The prices are sky-high. For a huge price, there is very little food. The shrimps are dry and hard, the drinks are so-so. In general, the portions are very small.
The grill should wait from 35 minutes. Half of the menu is missing. The most disgusting Caesar salad in the world, with chicken, with salmon (it is impossible to eat with salmon at all). They ordered soup, brought it in a pot, but it was barely warm - 4 out of 10.
Tea with lemon is terrible, although, it would seem, how can you spoil tea? Yellow Abkhazian lemon - they are very tasty), but even here they brought such slices that looked as if they had been sliced last week. The waitress was only worried about the bill, and we were sitting at the table with dirty plates. They ate this "work" only because they were very hungry. Plus, tips are already included in the bill. It's a disappointment. Of the advantages, only a clean toilet. If you want to eat delicious food, then choose local establishments and canteens, there may be an unpresentable atmosphere, but always delicious food with caring hosts.
The order included two kebabs, mushrooms and French fries, we were with a partner. The place has a pleasant exterior, but there were surprises waiting for us inside.
When we arrived, there was silence, and it caught our attention. After placing an order, either the owner or the cook on the grill turned on the music very loudly. It was unacceptable to eat in such an atmosphere. As a result, the waiter invited this mister for a dialogue. This did not happen immediately, but only when I informed that I did not consider it necessary to pay a service fee of 10% of the check amount.
This cook or manager conducted a dialogue in a snide manner, reminding us that we did not come to some kind of dining room, but to his cafe-restaurant. I reminded him that the guests came in silence, and he turned on the music as loud as he wanted. We managed to translate this into a constructive one. By the way, music is also playing in the dining room and it is also loud.
After that, I cautiously eat my kebab, because I'm afraid that they won't spit in my portion. I suggest you familiarize yourself with what a 200 g serving looks like. (there are no extras except for the strange pickled onions).
The kebab was cooked for 30 minutes, the potatoes were brought 15 minutes later (where is common sense?)
I do not recommend visiting this place. I hope I won't run into poisoning after lunch.
P.S. the food is like in the dining room, and the attitude towards the guests will be worse
Long service, Tom yam is not like Tom yam (without rice) r, portions are small, and prices are high! A portion of shrimp is simply ridiculous for 400 rubles.
It's a pity that you can't put a minus sign! We walked along the embankment, went to this place. They gave us the menu right at the entrance and... they safely forgot about us. I would have understood if there had been a full boarding, but only 3 tables were occupied. The waiters, instead of serving customers, smoked hookah at the counter. We waited 15 minutes and left with nothing, without waiting for service. Do you seriously want 10% of the receipt for such a "service"? I highly do not recommend this cafe.
It was March 4th and 5th, 2022. The cafe is wonderful, the food is very tasty, the price tag is lower than in our hometown. They ate exclusively Abkhazian cuisine. The waitress (a dark girl) is just wonderful. Attentive, polite. We'll be happy to come back on occasion.
We went in for a snack, ordered pizza, brought it in 15 minutes, I don't know about other dishes (judging by previous reviews) but their pizza is delicious, the dough is thin, there is enough cheese, 10% service yes, but it is written in the menu, we disagree - do not order, it is logical)
The atmosphere is also pleasant, live music is playing, we chose a table behind the column so that we could talk, we left satisfied, thank you)
I'm sitting in a cafe right now. The prices are pleasant. A large portion of 300 rubles. The pizza is delicious 300 rubles.)
The staff is friendly. The food is very tasty) I recommend it! Alcohol is also at normal prices)
Very friendly manager ( she came and looked as if you had come so early , threw two menus , did not say hello and went )
Therefore , they did not even dare to eat here , you never know if they will spit , they ordered two closed cans of cola 🤣🤣 the waitress is well done))
Good luck to the management with such an administrator))
Opposite is a chic cafe MON , where the singer is taken to the hostess as at home , although sometimes the waiters serve for a long time ( I will be objective )
The food is normal, the prices are average.
Although powerful air conditioners are installed and working in the institution, the door is wide open, so the room is stuffy.
There is a bartender and a DJ working at the cocktail bar at the checkout in one person, who turns on music too loudly at random intervals and makes some strange passes with his hands.
The waiters approach the table for a long time, they are unfriendly.
They only accept cash.
They include 10% in the receipt for service without warning.
When calculating, they asked to change the bill taped with tape, there was no other one. As a result, they took it away, but did not hand over the change, explaining that the bank accepts such for half the face value.
They spoiled the mood because of the proceedings with the bill, the waitress appealed to the bartender, the bartender supported her, probably out of solidarity. There is no administrator, the staff lives their own lives.
The owner does not think about reputation.
I do not advise going to this place, because it is stuffy, rough and long. There are many other options nearby.
I constantly try to eat in different places, but this is the only place I come back to. In this place, they cook the perfect shish kebab (there are no comments on other positions either, but their perfectly tender shish kebab is worth highlighting) I have not seen this in other places.
Now about the cons:
1) lame music in the style of the 2000s, but the whole of Abkhazia and Russian resorts are sick of it, the problem is that in the evening it is twisted like at a concert
2) since a place with good cuisine attracts a lot of locals who can be very intemperate, it depends on the people, but I noticed this trend.
In general, the kitchen is definitely 5+, the atmosphere is 0
We ordered grilled vegetables. They served a strip of eggplant, half a pepper and a huge tomato (whose weight exceeded 400g.) on a platter. As a result, they paid 500 rubles for these vegetables.... In fact, then it should be called "not vegetables on the grill", but "tomato on the grill". Otherwise, everything is delicious.
Delicious trout, khachapuri, tea. But there is no service, there is constant smoking in the hall and there is no hood - it is unpleasant to sit next to it at all.
Don't take vegetables on the grill, it's some kind of mess and tasteless) and the fish was overexposed a little.

We came in the evening, there was a wedding in the next room, because of which we had to go to the toilet 50 meters from the cafe for 20 rubles.
The pizza is tasteless, the alco cocktails were mixed heavily diluted. We forgot about the barbecue, which I ordered later and had to wait for about 20 minutes. They asked me to pack the shish kebab with me. As a result, I had to throw it out at home. It is simply impossible to eat.
I do not recommend this place.
We ordered a spicy pizza, 3 slices of bread and a 300 gram kebab.
I didn't like the pizza, like the sausage and cheese on the dough, the kebab was not cooked (with blood). Pizza cost 300 rubles, barbecue 450 rubles. + service 10% of the receipt.
+ the fact that you can pay with a card.
It's not a very tasty boat, of all the ones I tried, the cheese smelled very sour, tasted like rotten, I didn't dare to eat it and left, as well as a 10% tip bonus to the waiter, you need to pay even if you didn't like the service...
Delicious cuisine, and we were served quickly and cordially.I saw other guests who left without waiting for the waiters.The bartender turns on the music loudly
I went to try khachapuri, waited for half an hour. A burnt bun was brought. It tastes so-so. The waiter seemed inhospitable. One of the administrators loudly scolded the staff for the plastic cups. The interior is good 👍
They ordered a kebab and got poisoned🤢 It's just awful!

The food is ordinary, normal.
You order from the menu, they bring a smaller layout. But the prices are the same. "Because the summer menu hasn't been redone yet." It's in January.
