    Nice Georgian restaurant that offer a good variety of food. It has a lot of vegan options as well. The service is really fast and the personnel know what to suggest, knowing all the menu. They also offer Georgian drinks.

    Everything was delicious. The waiter was polite and he briefly explained how Georgians usually eats. We are vegetarian and there are few options to chose from. The only thing that I couldn’t understand is how a vegetable stew can cost 20€. We had the starters with some breads and I was really amazed about the portions and good quality of the food, so waiting for the main course I was expecting something even bigger seeing the price of 20€… but a regular bowl of stew arrived and I was a bit disappointed. At first I thought there was a mistake, so I asked twice if that was what I ordered, and yes, it was. I still give them 5 ⭐️ for everything else than the soup. At least I know what not to order the next time.

    Hands down, probably the best restaurant we ate at in Finland. Everything was as we remembered from our trip to Georgia. The staff was lovely and accommodating. You’ll get out of here rolling rather than walking (if you take the menu for two!). The prices were more than great for what was offered. Great experience and what a surprise to find a Georgian restaurant in Turku :)

    (Translated by Google) Even though the wrong food came, it was a positive surprise. Pig, something you rarely get in Finland! (Original) Vaikka tuli väärä ruoka, niin se oli positiivinen yllätys. Possu, jotain mitä harvoin saa Suomesta!

    (Translated by Google) Good food, customer service professional and friendly. Good value for money in supra table setting! Especially appetizers in a variety of ways. Really good breads. (Original) Hyvä ruoka, asiakaspalvelu ammattitaitoista ja ystävällistä. Hyvä hinta-laatu-suhde supra-kattauksessa! Erityisesti alkuruokia monipuolisesti. Todella hyvät leivät.

    Had a super delicious lunch in Rioni!

  • 5/5 Sebastian S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and service was simply amazing. We took the SUPRA for two, and must unfortunately say that it was enough food to feed three to four people. Not knowing that we were saturated after the precourse already. So, if you don't have a huge stomach, rather order something else from the menu than this combined thing.

  • 4/5 Maris A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food. Appetisers were my favourite. Both Appetisers and Main dishes are extremely fulfilling. So take both only if you are extremely hungry!

  • 3/5 Anton B. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice and atmospheric place with good food. In my case, there was basicly just meat and lots of it. But if you like meat that's no problem. The chreesy bread was good, nothing special though. The place in general felt a little bit pricy for the quality of the food. Would recommend to try it out at least once for the Georgian food experience. And try with wine, we did the mistake of not getting wine with our food and considering the amount of meat, lived to regret it.

  • 3/5 Jan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Have now eaten here multiple times. Lunch has always been excellent, but the evening dining has left me with mixed feelings. Some of the dishes, like Mushrooms, cheese bread and chicken dishes have been good.. pork at least for my dish was disappointing. A tad pricey maybe.. depending on if u wanna share the bread and sauces etc.

  • 1/5 Asma H. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking forward to try the place since we love Georgian food. It was a true disappointment, food was not good at all, the oven was broken and non of the oven dishes were available. The service was bad and apparently thr owner or a manger was there she was super loud and we couldn't enjoy our food quietly. The price are high compared to the taste and service. I really do not recommend the restaurant at all

  • 5/5 Deanna W. 1 year ago on Google
    As someone who has never had Georgian food, we were so excited to get into Rioni! After two attempts of getting into the restaurant with our crew, we were able to get in the third day with a reservation and loved everything about our experience. Our server was incredible, extremely knowledgeable and willing to share about our food. It was such a blast to get to share the meals family style with the Supra! We all agreed it was 1) the best meal we’ve ever had in our lives and 2) the best service we’ve ever received at any other restaurant in Turku. If we could ever go back we will, and will make sure to get the delicious cheesy bread!!!

  • 5/5 Sara Piszczek (. 2 years ago on Google
    We were three friends visiting Helsinki and eating georgian food for the first time The staff were very kind and answered our 300 questions, and we all ended up with dishes, were we preferred our own dish! Perfect match! You get a lot of food for the money, the bread had a wonderful texture and I personally got the chicken in walnut sauce. It was so tasty and rich in flavor, absolutely delicious! I'm so sad that Copenhagen doesn't have Georgian food at all! Please open a restaurent in Copenhagen🙏❤️ Thank you so much for a great experience, I would most definitely recommend this restaurent to anyone visiting Helsinki!

  • 5/5 Tero V. 2 years ago on Google
    The appetizer was too Slavic to my taste, thankfully for two people. But the main course, veal was the best ever! 6/5 And not to mention a super nice and knowledgeable female waitress.

  • 4/5 Jaakko I. 2 years ago on Google
    A wide selection of different sharable dishes that are excellent for even large groups. Spicyness was surprisingly mild. Some if the dishes were excellent, others "only" great.

  • 5/5 Juha H. 3 years ago on Google
    Ruoka todella maukasta ja ennen kaikkea sitä on paljon. Tehtiin vaimon kanssa tilaukset henkilÜkunnan suositusten mukaisesti, eikä todellakaan tarvinnut lähteä tyhjin vatsoin kotiin. Ehdottomasti suosittelen.

    Authentic Georgian restaurant right in Turku city center. Service and food was great. Menu was little confusing to order as we went in a big group. People there was really nice and explained the Georgian way of having dinner. We had a great time. I really enjoyed the Imeruli Khachapuri.

  • 5/5 Petri M. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent and authentic Georgian restaurant. Very good food and friendly service. Quite big portions, worth of money. If you want tasty food, this is a place to be.

  • 5/5 Theresa L. 8 months ago on Google
    The food here is amazing. The portions are sized well and the bread is a must try. Also, quail is made perfectly. In short: Nice Food. Nice place. Great location near the center of the city and a super friendly waitress.

  • 5/5 Javier B. 8 months ago on Google
    Family dinner. We arrived with very little time to eat and even so they gave us wonderful advice and service. I was left wanting to try more dishes but the ones we did try were delicious. I would definitely come back with more time to try more delicious food. Highly recommendable.

  • 5/5 alex G. 11 months ago on Google
    Several friends recommended this Georgian restaurant to me and I was not disappointed. On the contrary, I fell in love with this place right after entering it and tasting their dishes for the first time, along with delicious traditional Georgian dishes (which will transport you to another country for a while), a very pleasant cozy environment, attentive warm service and a very good manager. This is all that one should expect from a restaurant, I will come back here more than once, cant wait for the next time.

  • 5/5 Manon fougere de c. 9 months ago on Google
    First time trying Georgian food and it was fabulous. The food is amazing, service is great, they made sure to tell us how to eat the dumplings as we didn't know the technique. Only regret is that we were in a rush so I couldn't try the desserts. I'll definitely be back as everything else on the menu looked very good.

  • 4/5 Mike N. 8 months ago on Google
    Stopped here for an evening meal and didn't have to wait, shown to the table instantly and given English menus. The staff were helpful and gave us plenty of insights on what to order as well as how much we'd need to feed us. We ended up with 3 starters and 3 mains between 4 of us. The food came really quickly and was hot and freshly made, with a superb taste. Definitely recommend.

    The food was excellent 👌. I didn't have any idea about Georgian cuisine but all the dishes were very delicious and refreshing yet warm for the cozy winter. I will definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Very cozy restaurant, super-friendly staff and food quality was good. Georgian food just wasn't my thing, or maybe I just ordered the wrong items. The price was fair for the amount of food.

    Some good wine and delicious food. Kitchen open till 10pm & friendly staff! I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Wioletta R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very tasty. The service maybe not always noticing us, maybe too many people at that time. Anyway, definitely worth visiting and I believe I am going to visit this place again, since it offers also gluten-free options :) would be also nice to get some gluten-free cake one day 😁

  • 5/5 Madiha H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious! Really filling portion size. And loved loved the Khachapuri bread 😍 The person managing the restaurant today at Lunch was super friendly and sweet. She made my day by offering me a special premium tea which was so good! 🌸💗 one of the best places in Turku, handsdown!

  • 5/5 Geoff G. 1 year ago on Google
    Rioni, Turku. Fine introduction to Georgian food. Helpful staff. Tasty dishes. The portions are generous and the food is filling, especially the dumplings and the bean bread. So choose carefully to avoid food waste.

    A must if you’re in Turkku! Portions are big, food is delicious and the choice is huge (50 shades of bread :) ). We loved the lunch we’ve had there and would happily stop there again. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Juha V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A nice place. The food was very good and there was enough. Even fairly. The Georgian wine was very tasty but the beers maybe a little dozen stuff. I would think there would also be more personal malt drinks in Georgia. The service was very friendly and fast so this place is easy to recommend. (Original) Mukava paikka. Ruoka oli oikein hyvää ja sitä oli riittävästi. Jopa reilusti. Georgialainen viini oli erittäin maittavaa mutta oluet ehkä vähän tusina tavaraa. Uskoisin, että Georgiasta lÜytyisi myÜs persoonallisempia mallasjuomia. Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä ja nopeaa joten tätä paikkaa on helppo suositella.

    (Translated by Google) 24.01. A professional waiter presented nicely distributed Georgian food / dining. Good, spicy food. Hatsapuri, Nam. The stomachs became full and the rest of the belly had to be taken along. The Georgian beer tasted good, next time I try their lemonades, it seemed interesting. (Original) 24.01. Ammattinsa osaava tarjoilija esitteli hienosti jaettavaa gruusialaista ruokaa/ruokailua. Hyvää, mausteista ruokaa. Hatsapuri, nam. Vatsat tuli täyteen ja loput hatsapurista piti ottaa mukaan. Georgialainen olut maistui, ensi kerralla kokeilen heidän limonadejaan, vaikutti mielenkiintoiselta.

    This place is amazing. We went there as a group of four friends from different countries (France, Spain and Switzerland) doing a road trip. The restaurant and the atmosphere are cosy, welcoming and the staff is really nice and professional. We have been explained how this Georgian food culture works as a sharing dishes moment. We took the most famous one with beef, the pork and the mushroom ones. Everything was well served and extremely tasty. I never tried Georgian food before and apparently needed to go to Turku to eat it but we’ll definitely look for some in our home countries. You thanked us for coming but we thank you even more for this great moment!

  • 5/5 Roman H. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered their "supra" tasting menu for five persons on fathers' day. Well. It is big. I mean it. Do not eat anything on the day of the visit if you are ordering "supra"! :) Food was mostly excellent (dumplings, khachapuris, beef stew, etc.), with minor exceptions (their sausages, kupati, had a bit rough parts in them, and calf stew ordered separately had some cartilages). The only complaint is that they use quite a lot of red onion. So, if you do not like it, your choices will shrink substantially. The service was friendly and helpful. Waiters did not speak Finnish, though, so if your English is rusty, that might be tricky. I was hesitating whether I should give four or five stars, but, in the end, I decided to give five stars, hoping Rioni will fix those minor problems.
