So, they are open until 10pm but they take online order until 7:30pm. I placed an order via Doordash at about 6pm, and got a message at 7pm that my order has been cancelled due to store closed. My dasher was already there waiting for my order for about 15 min. They simply kicked him out and showed me the middle finger??? This definitely was the last time I tried to order from this place...

“Genatsvali” offers an outstanding Georgian dining experience. The food is incredibly flavorful and authentic, with highlights like khachapuri and khinkali. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, providing excellent service. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful decor make it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommended!

First time ever trying a Georgian cuisine. Interesting and delicious food. This restaurant appears like a wedding banquet and there were only a few customers when we were there.

I don’t understand why there were not a lot of people when we dined in. All 5 stars for me! The food was very good whoever their cook or chef is. We ordered Imeruli Khachapuri and this is the best I had in terms of cheese pies. It was the amount of cheese and phyllo ratio and it’s perfectly cooked! Not soggy nor oily. For mains we ordered Chashushuli, lula kebab and and salmon shishkebab. Everything was cooked nicely and the portions are sufficient. It could be a little pricey or salty for some but I’m satisfied. The place looks clean and there is a dance floor and stage area perfect for parties. The setup is like a hotel restaurant. There’s plenty of parking outside.

We had ordered a table for 9 people spontaneously for my husbands birthday on a Saturday evening. The food was delicious. The service was fast and with a smile. Also there was life music ,so we could dance as well. Highly recommend for Georgian food lovers. Everything we tasted was very delicious. I didn't have time to take pictures of all the food, as everything went straight to people's stomach 😄

This is the closest Georgian style restaurant near me. It was about 2 hours away with traffic, but totally worth the drive! I’ll be coming here again for that heavenly Adjarian Khachapuri. Since yesterday it has become one of my all time favourite dishes! I only wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more. I was surprised to find I was the only one there. On the outside it doesn’t look like much, but once inside it’s like a beautiful banquet hall. It was really nice inside. Looks like a great place to host parties and events. The server was quiet and friendly. Very attentive. The cook or cooks there did an absolutely fantastic job. I’ve been telling everyone back home about this place and would recommend it to anyone in the area or seeking an authentic Georgian cuisine experience. Thank you, I look forward to dining here again :)

The atmosphere of the old banquet hall, with dirty dishes and tables, was unpleasant. The food was tasteless, with a strange smell, as if it had spoiled. I am well-acquainted with Georgian cuisine, but this was the worst I have ever tried. I ordered khinkali, which had an unpleasant odor. The khachapuri was edible but not tasty, and the chicken chkmeruli was terrible. I will not return and do not recommend it to anyone.

We visited with friends Georgian restaurant Genatsvale Toronto with traditional Georgian cuisine, attentive and positive service to everyone. Everything was tasty, fresh and not salted: excellent khachapuri, good lamb kebab, kebab lyula wrapped in sulguni cheese, chebureks, khinkali and, of course, the pearl of Georgian winemaking - Kindzmarauli wine conquered our hearts. We sat with friends, talked so sincerely, tried to look at the world with positive and see the good. Parking: A lot of parking

Perfect place and people, fast service with amazing food. This place is family owned by hard working Georgians with authentic food that has been made the same way for over 13years, I would highly recommend this place to anybody lucky enough to find it.

November 22, 2024

I came based on reviews. When we went inside, I immediately realized that I didnt want to stay here for long. The restaurant owner is stuck in the 90s. Thats why I ordered my takeaway order. While waiting for your order, we decided to try khachapuri after testing it, we realized that it was a maximum of 3 out of 10. When we arrived home, we found that we had not put all the dishes that we had ordered. I strongly advise against this restaurant.

It s an average georgian restaurant, if you look well there are many places better than this. Some of the foods are not fresh, but the hachapuri were nice, as well as wine. I wish they change the decor and do a little renovation, because this old fashioned unfriendly style isn t doing it for me.

We had a family gathering as this restaurant was recommended to us. A few points to be aware: 1. If you bring your bottle of wine, $15 corking fee will be charged. If your bottle is over 750 ml, they will charge double. Same for hard liquor $20 or twice more 2. Restaurant on Friday night was empty , except one small table . 3. Owner of the restaurant is pretty rude , and has no manners 4. Famous henkali ( we came for that) were very salty with very amount of meat . Lamb chops were definitely pre- cooked. 5. Waitress Dasha was very lovely . 6. There are no live music on Friday night. Would I do future gatherings there? Definitely not.

Ill just express my opinion. I have never been to a Georgian restaurant, although I have always heard only positive reviews. We are a family from Turkey, 4 adults, who chose the Genatsvale restaurant based on reviews and photos. To be honest, the restaurant has its own peculiarity, I liked it in principle, I was in the 80s during the USSR, the girls who served us were very friendly and polite. The problem is the food we ordered. It wasnt just not tasty, it tasted strange. We liked the Kindzmarauli wine, but they had already brought us an open bottle, my husband made a remark to me, he doesn t speak Russian, I didn t focus on it, we ordered draft beer, the beer had no taste due to the large amount of water in it, so we ordered in bottles. From food we ordered: khachapuri with cheese, khachapuri with meat, dolma, Georgian salad, khinkali, pasties, kupata sausages, lula kebab and 2 kebabs. The most delicious thing was khachapuri with cheese, it is impossible to spoil it. Everything else was tasteless, as I understand it, the same minced meat was used in 3 dishes, the sausages simply had the smell of unwashed intestines, we never got the kebab and shish kebab. My family categorically refused to continue the evening; we came for delicious food and left without a sip. Pay attention to the cook, I warned the waitresses and offered to try the dolma ourselves, which was without salt and spices, only rice and mint, but the cook said that it seemed like that to us. . In short, I was very upset, I wanted to relax and eat cake, but my friends categorically refused to continue the evening. Im sure Georgian food is very tasty, we were unlucky.

We went to a Georgian restaurant for lunch. I liked everything about the large, bright room, but the dirty dishes were helped by napkins))). The menu is modest, but there are the most popular dishes.

I had wanted to try khachapuri and this restaurant came highly recommended by my friend. The acharuli khachapuri was delicious and exceeded my expectations!!

The server messed up the order and blame me for not stating the order fully although I mentioned the meat I wanted in 2 different languages to make sure The food itself is far away from what Georgian food should be like.

I had a pleasure to be invited to a small birthday party with my family however we are super, very unhappy with the service made by the waitress. I politely asked for a coffee, the waitress said that she can t give as me coffee as there is no enough cups so she can t give me any coffee. I was shocked!!! Now about the food, it was not tasty at all. I tried almost every dish on the table and did not like it at all, and I was not the only one at the table having this opinion!!!

Very surprised by the reviews about poor service and tasteless dishes. Maybe it all depends on the specific people in the hall and in the kitchen, but we had a delicious meal and received quality service at a high level. The waitress was polite and friendly. As soon as we arrived, we were the only ones in the hall (Friday, 6 p.m.), but later other people started coming to the neighboring tables. I think that we will come back again, if possible

I dont know who gives you 5 stars and why, but the food is not good at all. Its a Georgian restaurant and you cant afford it. Those who eat in non-Georgia might be deceived that the Georgian table and flavors are like that, but... nothing was good... I have never eaten such bad khinkali. I didnt know if it was possible to spoil eggplant with walnuts like this. Where do you barbecue?? Did the barbecue, fish, mushrooms taste like soot? It was downright disgusting and such a tasteless satchapuri. In short, its a shame. PS The owner is an absolutely disrespectful person. Shame of a Georgian. Stay away. This is not Georgian food, this is not a Georgian atmosphere. Urazborke you siro.

The food is delicious. The place and the music are very good and it s a great place to bring a big group of people ,however there is a very young boy who was serving us who was very rude since the beginning. We complained to another server who was very understanding and patient. She talked to him but when he came back he asked me what s the problem and left not even apologizing to us. We came in to celebrate and have fun not to get mad and upset about the service.

Wonderful restaurant! Wed been here four years ago and were amazed at the wonderful food and reasonable prices. We came back today and werent disappointed. Georgian food is incredible. The portion are more than satisfying and the quality is excellent. Highly recommend it. Vegetarian options: My mother is vegan and was able to order an eggplant stew. There was also pelmemi filled with vegetables, a few other delicious appetizers and wonderful khachapuri. Parking: Theres parking available right outside of the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: They had high chair and theres plenty of space for children to run around the stage.

I promised the owner of this restaurant to write a review. It s not every day that we get yelled at in a restaurant, but this event is worthy of being published. Never in 25 years of living in Canada have I seen or heard of clients being treated so disrespectfully and rudely. We just got up and left. And everything we asked for? In a completely empty restaurant at one oclock in the afternoon, change a table from a dark dark corner near the door to the kitchen to another place. It turns out that this is an extra request! - We decided that you will sit here and that s it! No options. The remaining tables are for 10 people or pay extra $20 for a tablecloth. And what it was, we didn t understand at all. AND ALL THIS IS SCREAMING! They came joyful, with flowers and in a good mood, after 15 minutes they came out in tears, covered in mud. They ruined the holiday for 8 women. I don t recommend this place at all!

My friends and I visited this Georgian restaurant on a Saturday evening, and the first thing that alarmed us was the completely empty dining area, which was unusual for that time of day. However, it soon became clear why this was the case. Ive been to Georgian restaurants in many countries, and in every single one, my experience was positive. This is the first time Ive encountered such unappetizing and strange food. First off, their rendition of the traditional dish pkhali was nothing more than grated beets quite shocking. The Adjarian khachapuri, which should be a delicious cheese-filled bread with an egg on top, tasted like plain bread with an egg. The khinkali, a staple Georgian dumpling, were the worst Ive ever had in my life. I could go on about the terrible taste of all the dishes, but to put it simply, this restaurant has no connection to authentic Georgian cuisine whatsoever.

Was less that ok... Food was edible but not enjoyable, phali were lack of flavor and undersalted. Sacivi had only dry chicken breast, no other meats were found there, sauce was oversalted... not satisfied... We ordered Khinkali with Lamb and beef... we got large overcooked pelmeni with pork meat filling (in case the owner disagrees; beef and lamb have different flavor and texture, plus when you heat treat such meats, they become dark, we got whiteish meat, just like pelmeni) The tail in Khinkali were missing or cutoff too close so its impossible to grab them the proper way... Shashlik was good. Khachapuri with herbs was OK. First red flag - Sunday luch - the restaurant was empty

We ordered dinner through skip, 2 apps and 2 mains. I ordered a chebureki, basically a georgian-style beef patty, and my main was the chasushuli, basically a georgian-style veal curry. The patty was delicious if a bit dry. I think its supposed to be so i improvised to spectacular results. The curry was silencing. Type of food that stops you from speaking for the next ten minutes at least. I dunked the patty in the curry... what the hell. New favorite thing probably. Im pretty i sure i started drinking the gravy at one point. It was all a haze. My girlfriend got the cabbage rolls and vareniki dumplings. Dumplings were perfect. I thought i knew what a dumpling was. Turns out i didnt. The cabbage rolls... meh. 3 out of 4 was really good though and the 3 were perfect. Cabbage rolls were a touch cabbage-heavy, and there was a liquorice flavor in the herbs that turned me off, but im sure its just a matter of familiarity. Definitely going back.

Yesterday, December 9, 2023, we celebrated our birthday. We liked the food, with the exception of cold and apparently yesterdays white bread for starter, the service was disgusting. Whats the problem with offering a flower vase? Why werent flowers placed on our table? The waiter said that she would not put flowers on the table because last time the vase was broken. What do we have to do with this vase? It was your first time. Buy a plastic vase, whats the problem? Why didn t they offer and remind you to pick up flowers from your bar? Why do you need our flowers? Why didn t they apologize that they had to return halfway to get flowers? To a harmless question: Where were the kebabs prepared? received rudeness in response: Where, where, well, not in a frying pan? No wonder there were only 2 tables occupied in your large restaurant. I read your responses to previous comments, you are trying to be rude there too. Well, we are mentally prepared that there will never be an apology. And the waitress with the sour face and rudeness should generally be fired.

Do not recommend it . The restaurant is understaffed both kitchen & waitress.Therefore, no-one will clean tables next to you or bring your order on time. Coffee wait time was 50 minutes; Ice-cream cake was forgotten on a kitchen table for a couple of hours, by the restaurant staff, and you can imagine how it looked. One of the meals was forgotten by the cook, must remind the waitress 3 times. For dessert the waitress forgot to bring dessert plates. People on the other table were confused why the waitress brought their cake, and the table is still full of dirty dishes.

I invited friends to this restaurant for my birthday. We missed Georgian food and were looking for a place that would look nice inside. There was no one in the restaurant except our small group that evening. Among the employees there was one completely unprofessional waiter (maybe it was his first day of work?) and an elderly, sloppy woman with a face covered in flour, who herself went out to the guests and found out the details of the order. No festive atmosphere or comfort. The food is not tasty at all, unless it was poisoned. Thanks for that too. The wine we drank was of very average quality; in one bottle the wine turned out to be sour and so that it would not be included in the bill, we had to call the owner of the establishment. Just a shame. They brought the ordered pickles, which were clearly not cut today and covered with mold from the brine with the corresponding aroma. How they have not yet gone bankrupt with this type of business, taking into account the above, is not clear. It was terribly embarrassing in front of my guests that I chose such an establishment. I dont recommend going there.

I have come here both for a random walk in lunch where we ordered off the menu and as part of family celebrations where everything was ordered in advance. Absolutely phenomenal food! They also have real Georgian wine which Ive impressed my friends both wine snobs and not with. Friday and Saturday nights this is more like an events hall where you call a month ahead and book a whole table. Similar to a wedding. You can also host weddings here. I know what it looks like from the outside but with smart use of nice wallpaper and curtains its upscale. Fabric napkins and fabric tablecloths. Parking: Part of a strip mall. Have never had issues getting a spot. Wheelchair accessibility: Perhaps the doors in and out could be less than kind but they do actually have a wheelchair bathroom and the floor is even. When calling to make your booking I would mention it.

The food is amazing! All the ingredients are so fresh you can taste how nutritious they are! All their dishes are European and cooked to perfection! The waiters and owner are always so polite and friendly. They also have a dance floor and music playing so its a great place to come with friends if you are looking to get great food and have a good time :)

Some of the foods were frozen and reheated again, khinkali and beef. I know Great Georgian cuisine very well. We ordered bread 2 hours before closing they said we dont have bread. And they started turn off air conditioner and light at 9pm, but closing times at 10pm. So dissatisfied with service.

This is the worst place in Toronto. There is no smell of authentic cuisine here. Khachipuri uses mixed cheese left over from yesterdays table. In the kitchen, everything that was left uneaten yesterday is used. If you value your health, then do not come here and do not recommend it to friends and family. There can t be good service here because the restaurant director yells at the wait staff and throws plates at them, and she ll take your tip for herself, maybe paying the workers $10 each. All the waiters are not professionals and are recruited as cheap labor and immediately run away. Dishes made from the cheapest ingredients. There are conflicts and inappropriate director-level visitors in the hall. Here you will be served cheap alcohol that is not what is listed on the menu. If you want to eat not fresh food and lose your mood, welcome! This is the worst place in Toronto. This is not even close to authentic cuisine.

I was there for a party this post weekend. The food was fantastic. We had preordered s it was a party of 17. The place is more or less setup as a banquet hall, on a smaller scale, and has a dance floor and a Dj. The experience was great, music was also great (mix of Russian, Georgian and American music). It was a great night out!

I never try Georgian cuisine, but I hear a lot of positive feedback, so I was really excited to give Genatsvale Restaurant a try. We came around lunchtime on a weekday and the restaurant was unexpectedly busy, but we were able to grab a table near the window. It took not more than 10 minutes before someone takes our order. The waitress, when she showed up, was very nice and give us a few good advice regarding the menu of the restaurant. So, we decided to share a few things: Khachapuri Khachapuri (Imeruli) is a national Georgian puff pastry filled with cheese. Okay, so this thing is huge! It basically resembles a pizza in its shape and presentation, and, when eaten hot, its just yummy. The cheese is a little different than youd expect, and it reminded me of a lot of these like Arabic cheese pastries we used to get when I was a kid. Khinkali with pork and beef & Khinkali with a lamb: These are basically the Georgian version of dumplings, and they resemble soup dumplings you might order at a Chinese restaurant (except much, much bigger). Theyre quite good; the meat is well-spiced and quite tender. So, in the resume, I would definitely say this was one of my more satisfying dining experiences as of late.

A couple of weeks ago we were invited to Genatsvale Restaurant by my Georgian customer who claims that its the best Georgian restaurant in Toronto. Well, I must say that the food was really very good and tasty. I had famous Russian Borsch soup (excellent), and we shared hot appetizer Khachapuri (so tasty), and Chakhokhbili stewed chicken with tomatoes and some aromatic spices (very good). We finished with the ice cream that was also excellent. The service was super friendly and professional and all portions were huge. I would like to come back here when the restaurant service in Toronto will be resumed after quarantine.

I have ordered for pick up so I did not have the dine in experience (which I am sure wouldve been great). But the food was absolutely fantastic and I will recommend this place to all my friends, and anyone who is reading the review. Everything was absolutely delicious. The amount of food for the price is more than fair and I will definitely be a returning customer. Chefs are masters of their craft at this place! Give them a go :D Strongly recommend to try and cant wait for restaurants to be fully open so I could go and enjoy some dine in experience as well.

We booked this restaurant for my BD party. The food was more or less good. They charged a lot of money. It cost us 85$ per person. But the size of dishes was so small! My guests were very upset they have to struggle to get a piece of meat or fish.... my advice - if you are planning to book a big party there- check the size of each dish! I never come back there!

I ordered delivery of Pelmeni and Khinkali and was pleasantly surprised! Pelmeni tasted pretty much like home-made ones (something that is very difficult to find) and I liked Khinkali more than in other places I tried before. The Napoleon cake was also very good - 5 out of 5. Recommend.
