Shvili

I was absolutely blown away by my recent visit to Shvilli. From the moment I tasted the first bite, I felt an undeniable sense of authenticity. Though I've never been to Georgia, the flavors were so vibrant and true that I immediately felt transported. The food here is simply outstanding. The undisputed highlight was the Khachapuri. It was more than just a cheese bread it was an overwhelming culinary experience. The taste was so original and comforting; it’s a dish that lives up to its hype and then some. The Khinkali were equally impressive. While they were somewhat similar to a style of dumpling I've had from another cuisine, the Khinkali at Shvilli were on an entirely different level. The delicate wrapper and savory, perfectly seasoned filling were truly masterful. Beyond the incredible food, the staff elevated the entire evening. It was my birthday, and they surprised me with a lovely birthday cake! This thoughtful gesture was genuinely appreciated, and the service throughout the night was impeccable. A special shout-out to Ahmad for his attentiveness and kindness. If you are looking for an amazing dining experience and want to discover the richness of Georgian cuisine, Shvilli is a must-visit. You won't be disappointed

First time to try Georgian cuisine, and I have to say I love it. We had the tasting menu for two, so that we could try several typical dishes. The khachapuri is so amazing that we even ordered one more.

It was the very first time that my wife and I tried Georgian cuisine and I can honestly say that it was quite spectacular. In addition our waiter, Deepu was very cordial and helpful as was the assistant manager, Melvin who even had a small conversation with us and informed us about the nature of Georgian cuisine.

I came to Shvili for dinner and a meet-up with a friend. It was my first time trying Georgian food, so I was really looking forward to the experience. The restaurant is located at a nice corner spot in The Galleria Mall and has warm, welcoming decor with a cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the evening even better. We started with Lobiani, a baked bread filled with red beans. I’m not usually a fan of red beans, but it was interesting to try. The flavor sits somewhere between sweet and savory, so I think it would pair well with something saucy or meaty. For the main dish, I ordered Chkmeruli based on the staff’s recommendation, but it seems I was served Odzhahuri with chicken instead — I only realized this later while writing the review. Still, it turned out to be quite good. The caramelized onions gave it a nice flavor, and the chicken was tender, though a little on the salty side. Since my main came out a bit late, the staff kindly offered a complimentary Napoleon Shvili dessert, which was a pleasant surprise. It had layers of pastry with creamy filling, similar to a croissant, and tasted lovely even though I could only finish half. We also ordered Khinkali beef dumplings (minimum three pieces). I love dumplings, so I was excited to try these traditional Georgian ones. The portion was generous — each dumpling was quite large and filled with minced beef and a bit of soup inside. The flavor was clean and comforting, though I found the dough slightly thick, probably to hold the filling. The restaurant even provides a small guide showing how to enjoy Khinkali properly, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great experience. The food was tasty, the staff were very nice, and the complimentary dessert made it even more memorable. I’d recommend Shvili to anyone curious to try authentic Georgian cuisine in a comfortable setting.

Shvili is a true hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Georgian food. The place has lots of character, from the warm decor to the cozy dining area, everything adds to the charm. Service was prompt and welcoming. We tried Kuchmachi, Grilled Chicken Shashlik, Chicken Lula Kebab, and Steamed Rice, every dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The spices and taste really transport you straight to Georgia. And don’t forget to grab some of the complementary fresh red apples on your way out, such a sweet and thoughtful touch! Highly recommended if you're looking to explore rich, hearty Georgian cuisine in a great setting.

This is the most delicious and authentic Georgian restaurant in the Emirates! Perfect! The food is absolutely amazing — nothing tastes better than this! The manager and staff are very polite, friendly, and attentive. Thank you so much! I wish you lots of wonderful and grateful customers!❤️❤️❤️

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were greeted by a very sweet hostess, Polina, who led us to a cozy table by the window. All the staff were very attentive, and the service was if the finest quality! The food was excellent and authentic. We thoroughly enjoyed the eggplant rolls, Khachapuri, the lamb kebab and the khinkali. A special shout out to Deepu, who made us feel so special and welcome 😊. The evening ended with an unexpected but very pleasant surprise - a Napoleon cake with the compliments of the chef to honour our special day ♥️ Thank you to the staff of Shvili for making our dining experience a memorable one! We will definitely come again ☺️

As usual business lunch is on top and freshly made that makes all my group to come back to this place. Special thank to Shaxzod for his excellent and very friendly hospitality and kindness. We really appreciate that☺️🤗.

This place is a gem!!! Incredible food, incredible facility for kids (with literally the best kids options, my daughter finished her entire meal and she never does!), and the best staff! It’s the best of every world, everyone enjoys their food and the kids even have a space to play. I’m going to be raving about this restaurant to everyone. I was served by Shishir and he was so kind and so helpful. Gave us the best recommendations and was so amazing! We will definitely be returning!

We had such a wonderful dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. A special shout-out to Deepu, our server, who made the night extra memorable. He really went above and beyond to serve a birthday cake for my partner to make the celebration feel special. Thank you for the great service and hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back! 🎂✨
