Отзывы - Сеть грузинских ресторанов Хінкальня

Посетила ресторан с дочкой и небольшой компанией друзей. Приятная атмосфера, вкусная еда. Грузинская и европейская кухня. Правда, я ожидала найти в грузинском ресторане пхали, но здесь этого блюда не оказалось. В середине ужина в зал вышли музыканты в грузинских костюмах - трио. Пели хорошо и ненавязчиво. Цены средние. Очень душевный получился вечер. Спасибо, "Хинкали"!

В связи с печальной погодой решили собраться с друзьями и посидеть в уютном месте. Выбор пал на "Хинкали" и мы не прогадали :) Персонал вежливый, заказ принесли быстро, а главное вкусно было и комфортно. Особенно порадовал Фестиваль хинкали - платили за одну порцию, а принесли две. Ну и вино у них настоящее, грузинское. Словом, вечер удался, так что рекомендую всем, кто любит покой, уют и грузинский колорит)

На свою беду зашли в этот "ресторан" 17го сентября поужинать. Заказали хинкали и каре молодого теленка из раздела "шашлык". Заказ прождали около получаса. Так называемый шашлык (155 гривен за 200 гр) принесли в виде холодного вареного мяса!! И это за такие деньги в якобы приличном месте... Не стал разбираться, т.к. был бы испорчен намеченный романтический вечер. В общем, не советую тратить деньги и время - обходите это место стороной. Видимо не даром ресторан в этот вечер был почти пуст (было занято всего 2 столика, включая наш).

I am quite fond of Caucasian/Central Asian restaurants and this venue I found to be to my taste although, inevitably, some items were tastier than others. I started out with two soups: one shorpa and one xarcho. The shorpa was by far better than the xarcho. The shorpa was imbued with the taste of fresh vegetables and skillfully seasoned with spices that titillate the taste buds.. The xarcho, on the other hand, disappointed me: rather than it being hot, it was sugared and this spoiled the dish in my estimation. I sampled two mains: Odjakhuri Georgian-style (pork with potatoes and tomatoes, baked on a ketse) and Chakhokhbili (stewed chicken with tomatoes and greens, also served on a ketse). While both were good, the chakhokhbili was markedly tastier.For the quantity of food, 301 UAH seems reasonable enough but I was less happy, quanhtity-price-wise, with the mashed potato side for 36 UAH as opposed to the lavash bread for 12.5 UAH.Glass of decent red wine costs 20UAH per 50ml. Thus a glass of 150ml costs 60UAH. The red wine was Saperavi. I am fairly well fed up with getting ripped off in restaurants in connection with wine bottles in Kiev and Istanbul and my reaction is to keep drinking to a minimum. Small softdrinks run 25 UAH (glass of coca cola or small bonaqua mineral water) and fresh grapefruit juice 45 UAH.The choice of where to eat is either the basement or the terrace; as the weather was inclement, I chose the former over the latter without hesitation. In the basement, there are several interconnecting halls and I found the layout of the dining rooms to be cozy and the ambiance enhanced by the kitsch decor and low playing Georgian music.However, I found the wait-staff a bit overbearing. If you order a cold appetizer followed by a soup, that is normal to them, but no cold appetizer and two soups, well, that is open to question by the wait-staff. Such iconoclasty! Let's accordingly repeat the order three times as the ears cannot believe what they hear. The wait-staff also seem mystified as they regard their portion sizes as "large" and consider it "impossible" for one person to eat "so much food." (Portion sizes of entrees are better described as middling and that of soups as small to middling.) To the bill, moreover, they accordingly add a 10% service charge.In the future, I surely will patronize Khinkali several times except that I shall refrain from ordering soup xarcho again. By way of comparison, I enjoyed dining at Khinkhali more than I enjoyed dining at Kazbek and much more than I enjoyed Tyubeteyka.

Why of course this is my own stupidity to be blamed for – I shouldn’t have given up my usual habit of checking the bill that night. So this is just to give warning to others: DO check your bill! They have charged us for the drinks that were missing that night and added another one that we didn’t even order. Sadly I have only discovered this few days after we had dinner here. My best regards to Shvalova Elena – thanks to this dishonest waitress Khinkali lost me as a customer from now on. Please, beware! Or better go elsewhere – fortunately, decent Georgian restaurants are abundant in Kyiv.

Отдыхали вечером с друзьями, все понравилось! Интересный и оригинальный интерьер, отличная кухня, приветливый персонал, а так же очень порадовала вечером живая музыка. Одним словом, мы были в восторге!!!!

Wiedzialem o tej restauracji z programu ukrainskiego I zawsze marzyłem spróbować chinkali I chaczapuri I co prawdadrogo jestale wystruj ewelcna obluga niesamowita i jedzenie pyszne I świeże było to czyc po miesu ze nie bylo mrożone. Polecam

The feel of the place was just stunning, live music, very interesting decor, and a nice staff, were the most important things with the place. I was in a group of 5, and we ordered the Georgian plate, that costed approx 1200 local money, so about 20 € per person. There was a lot of different kinds of food delivered, everything was great. Tasted some local vodka and red wine, and everything just came together pretty well. The end price was over 70 € per person though, so we can't really talk about a cheap restaurant. But I'd still suggest this to everyone!

Having visited other Georgian restaurants in Kiev we decided this time to try Khinkali on the recommendation of a friend. The atmosphere of the place is really grate with attentive waiters and lovely decor (even though one would guess that real Georgian decor isnt like this). We ate greens for starters with the cheese plate and after it sashlik. The food was well spiced and well cooked, the bread that went with them was outstanding. Prices were average, definitely worth a visit.

Georgian restaurant which is part of Kozyrna karta group. It offers a wide choice of true Georgian dishes. I especially recommend trying lobio (cooked kidney beans with sauce), aubergine rolls with walnut stuffing and khinkali. Service in the place is very good - waitresses are very attentive and polite. The only minuses are that it's difficult to have a table in nonsmoker area without reservation and the restaurant itself is situated in the basement - so no windows.In general place is very cosy and prices are average.

Побывала в этом ресторане со своими подругами. Отличная кухня, приятный сервис. Рекомендую хинкали! Подумываю опять сходить туда с друзьями и обязательно отведаю там настоящее грузинское вино!

We came here with the extended family specifically for khinkali festival and enjoyed it tremendously! Khinkali festival runs this month, till the end of October. This is when dozens of various kinds of khinkali are cooked versus normal half a dozen of varieties, with meat, byproducts and also sweet fruit and berries filling. Also, when you order one portion, they bring another for free. If you’re in Kyiv this month, don’t miss it!We tried khinkali with pork, rabbit, veal tongue, lamb and liver, and all were equally good. The dough was thin, all khinkali were juicy; the herbs were perfectly balanced for my taste. Definitely worth going here specifically for. Khinkali is on the regular menu, too; but represented by a few main varieties. Although one could get full by khinkali alone, we also ordered some of our Georgian favourites, including chicken chakhokhbili (chicken stewed with tomatoes and vegetables), lamb shashlyk and chicken tabaka. We were not disappointed with these as well, except that my kharcho soup was colder than I would like it to be. Sadly, the wine list of those served by glass is extremely limited, we were offered only two varieties. Tarkhun (soft estragon drink) was okay, but I tried better. I remain mixed about the service. On one hand, the waitress was smiling and rather attentive. On another, I found her a bit pushy about our orders, and somewhat intrusive. Our request to reduce the A/C (or ventilation), if possible, was never acknowledged.Khinkali restaurant is located in the basement, so without a single window we were trying to imagine ourselves in Georgian marani (wine cellar). The interior is not to my liking: it’s no Georgian at all, rather kitschy. So one should better take it with humour. The halls are not too large, so the atmosphere is very cozy. On week-end there’s a playroom for kids. Despite minor issues, I rank Khinkali among my top three favourite Georgian restaurants in Kyiv, and can definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Georgian cuisine.
