    The khinkali are delicious and the rest of the dishes are good, but the khachapuri was out of stock, so 4. Pic 4 !!!!! But this is a scam. I am willing to tip, but without your direction. Plus, do you still want to rob me? Do not recommend

    I went here off a suggestion of a friend, and I'm glad I tried it out. We ate outside on their patio area, so I can not say anything about the atmosphere of the restaurant outside of that. The food was amazing and seemed to be very authentic. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I see some of the other reviews mention the parking, I parked at the garage down the street from this place, so I can not speak on the parking situation on site. The entrance is located down an alley as well, but it is easy to find. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in trying Georgian food.

    Very very interesting. I’m Asian so I’m used to eating dumplings w soy sauce. Don’t need soy sauce and the flavors are muted but still good. I just prefer Chinese or Korean dumplings. 3.5 stars but the ambiance is niiice and the people are niiice so all good. Fun times

    Admittedly, I have never been to the region where this food originated, but I am absolutely in love with the food here, and from what I do know, it’s the closest thing you’ll get to authentic Georgian food, in this area. Their dumplings and skewers are absolutely fantastic. The lentil soup is to die for, and they have a full bar, with unique drinks to entertain your pallet. I highly recommend coming here. I’ve never had a bad meal or bad service.

    From boiled dumpling, fried dumpling, to skewers of meat, everything at khinkali was delicious. However, the one thing that stands out as a must have is the boiled beef khinkali. We only ordered 3 to gives ourselves a chance to try everything else, but I would totally come back just for the boiled dumplings

    Amazing food and the only place where you can find authentic Khongali. Everything is fresh and tasty as well as served fast. Definitely got to try it.

    Steamed beef khinkali was the best!! The green salad was great too. Overall, 5 stars for food.

    The food was amazing, the staff and ambiance not so. We had khinkali - boiled and deep fried, and the khachapuri. First of all, the staff need to be able to pronounce the items on the menu and understand when they are pronounced correctly by the guests. The servers were not attentive. Our server poured a glass of water for one of us and not the other. After our initial order, she never approached us again in case we needed something else which we did. On top of everything, in a Georgian/Russian themed restaurant they were playing Latin music. This place used to be great.

    The best food from our trip hands down. This is a party for your senses. Absolutely delicious! 🤤 We’ve tried a little bit of everything. Every single dish was flavorful, juicy, and went well with provided sauces. My favorites were the pork, lamb and osetra skewers. My husband really enjoyed khachapuri and khinkali (he tried all of them). Drinks were good as well. Our service was pretty great. The waitress was attentive and knew when we needed something, we never had to wait. I recommend this place. Bring your friends and order everything 😆 this way you can try it all.

    Let's start off by saying the staff (specifically our waitress) was amazing. She was attentive, kind, and very helpful with the menu, of which she was quite knowledgeable of (forgot her name, but she was there Saturday, 03/26 around noon). The food was mixed. Some good, some missed the mark. The khinkali dumplings were okay. The beef ones were pretty bland, they didn't have much flavor on their own. Same with the cheese ones. Kinda wish I tried the mushroom ones. The lamb chops were delicious, albeit a little tiny for the price. It came with 4 small sliced of fried potatoes (so about 1/3 of a potato), onion salad, tomato sauce, and it sat on flatbread. Chicken or beef kabobs only come with a single kabob. Served with the same as the lamb chops. The lentil soup was a let down. No taste of lentils. I couldn't even tell it was lentil soup, as it looked like it was all blended. Not a solid piece of food whatsoever. Overall I'm conflicted. I would like to give it another shot, but it will have to be on the back of the list considering the selection of restaurants in Glendale.

    In short, food is very delicious but the service, and staff friendliness is sub par. In a bit more details, we had heard about this place and decided to put it on our list to try and try we did. The Russian Pilmeni and Georgian Khinkali were phenomenal, whether fried or boiled. My fav was the fried cheese one. Prices are pretty reasonable too. The service just seemed out of the ordinary. They weren’t understaffed and the place wasn’t completely full but yet everyone seemed to be running with their hair on fire. It created a tense atmosphere not suitable to an enjoyable experience. When we first got there, a nice waitress came and asked us if we are ready and she seemed to be in a hurry. We did not know some things on the menu and had no chance to ask questions or have the experience explained to us so we just ordered whatever we had heard about before. Service was slow and no one managed expectations or checked on us during the 40 minutes it took the food to come and it all came out at different times. We tried the place but when we left we didn’t feel like we had a fun experience. Anyway I won’t ding them too much on stars bec the food was actually good.

    I visit this restaurant often! I adore Georgian khinkali, I admire fried lamb chops, fire-grilled khachapuri, I like everything here. It’s especially good that there is a private room where we celebrated my son’s birthday! calm music and pleasant ambience of the restaurant add for a good dinner. thanks for delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend this place.

    We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. It's a tad expensive. But the food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. A lovely restaurant. We heartily recommend it. The lentil soup was fantastic, as was everything else.

    This is no Georgian food. I’ve leaved in Tbilisi for 1 year. And was little disappointed with menu, khachapuri and lobi 🫠🥲

  • 5/5 Pep S. 6 months ago on Google
    Really really good. Authentic Georgian and post-Soviet countries cuisine. I would say Khinkali for me were a little bit salty, but Pelmeni 🤌. Honey cake was kinda sweet too, but good with black tea

  • 4/5 John M. 10 months ago on Google
    This was my first time trying Georgian food, and I was glad to try Khinkali House. We tried the fried (Russian) dumplings, skewered chicken breast, and cucumber quinoa salad. While I was unfamiliar with the flavor profiles, I am glad to have tried it.

  • 2/5 Oleg S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there 3 times before, but today was a disappointment, the hachapuri was horrible and we just send it back ( still pay for it ) , the girl who serve is did not even ask why we didn’t eat it. the chinkali tasted average or below , they bring beer as we ordered in 2 sizes , bit charged for large both. We ordered bread basket, but they never brought to the table, still put in the bill, I ask server to remove . Not a good experience .

  • 3/5 Marti L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was absolutely delicious, especially the dumplings. The service was horrendous. I am pretty forgiving as a lot of the issues are short staffing related. But this was just a rude server that was wanting to hang at the bar instead of get us served.

  • 4/5 Breanna E. 2 years ago on Google
    Mushroom Khinkali: 6/5 Beef Khinkali: 5/5 Cheese Khinkali: 5/5 Dolma: 3/5 Ich Salad: 3/5 Pilmeni: 3/5 Tarragon soda: 6/5 (can’t go wrong) Overall, I feel like I finally had the Georgian food everyone was raving about. Everything that wasn’t so Georgian was eh and a bit overpriced, but definitely worth it for good Khinkali. Nice waitstaff as well.

  • 4/5 Valeh E. 11 months ago on Google
    We ordered summer breeze for drink, two dumplings one beef and one mushroom as appetizer and Sturgeon skewer for main dish, and hone cake as dessert. The price was good except the drink which was 15 bucks. Dumplings were really great. The fish skewer wasn’t really good and honey cake was fine but not even close to the famous Russian honey cake the layers were sponge cake and thick! All came out 52 bucks without tip. Service was ok. I gave 4 stars since this place is famous for dumplings and they were great, so I recommend it if you want to order dumplings.

    Excellent Armenian restaurant. Oh boy! Where do I start, the atmosphere, the welcoming and warm feeling one gets when entering the restaurant, the smells of the delicious dishes being prepared in the kitchen, we get seated and the beautiful waitress explained what the dishes were and recommended .Every bite was absolutely delicious and oh so satisfying. I would recommend this place to everyone who has a craving for excellent Armenian cuisine.

  • 5/5 Armine Z. 2 years ago on Google
    This place never disappooints. Food is excellent so is the service. Lots of different foods to choose from. Not just dumplings. They have really good khachapuri. I am not a big fan of meat in general but their skewers are amazing.

  • 5/5 Shanelle S. 3 years ago on Google
    Authentic Georgian restaurant in Glendale. I was hankering for some khachapuri and this place kept coming up in my results, so came here on a Saturday around 1pm to grab some lunch! They’re open for outdoor dining during covid. It seems that smoking was allowed. Bathrooms are available inside on the left hand side. Street parking (metered) is available; if you get lucky, you can find some 2 hour parking a few blocks out but read the signs. Food-wise, everything was delicious. As it’s in the name, you must get the Khinkalis. You can get them boiled or fried, and you can opt from mushroom, beef, or cheese. The fried cheese khinkali was my personal favorite although the steamed mushroom is a close second. You eat it by grabbing it from the stem so that you can slurp up the juices from the dumpling (don’t use a fork otherwise you lose the juice!). The pieli soup took a while to come out but the waitress gave us fair warning, and it was well worth it just for the warm phyllo dough covering on top. The soup was yogurt-y and came with a good amount of small dumplings. Of course, the khachapuri was super fresh and tasty. They do serve alcohol (including Armenian drinks) and credit cards are accepted. Overall, this place was super yummy and authentic - I’ll be back the next time I have a craving for some more khinkalis.

    Don’t have enough words to describe how good this restaurant is!!! First of all the service is amazing, you get seated very quickly, and food comes out in few minutes, also everyone is really nice! Khinkali is for sure my favorite dish since i am from Georgia, and its better at Khinkali house than some of the restaurants make it back in Georgia. Been coming here for almost 5 years, and love this place!!!
