Gurmani - (Near , london)

5 /5 Francisco Meneses: We had an absolutely wonderful and comforting meal at Gurmani. The food was special and had truly distinctive flavours. For starters, the selection of all pkhalis (aubergine, beetroot, carrot, and spinach) was incredibly fresh, seasoned perfectly with ground walnut, coriander, and Georgian spices. The absolute standout starter, however, was the Adjarian Khachapuri—it was so cheesy, served in a boat of the freshest, crispiest bread. For our main courses, we decided to share several dishes: the Chashushuli (stewed beef with tomato), the Ojakhuri (roasted pork with potatoes and vegetables), and the fragrant Chakapuli (lamb stew with fresh tarragon and sour plum cooked in white wine). Each main had a very distinctive and delicious flavour profile. To drink, we explored the fascinating world of Georgian lemonade, a traditional soft drink. We tried the tarragon and pear flavours and definitely preferred the pear! The service was unparalleled, and the ambience was perfect, enhanced by an impeccable background music selection of indie vocal jazz. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.

5 /5 Christopher Greenaway: This was our first time eating Georgian food and we had a great time. The staff were warm, friendly and clearly passionate about the food with great recommendations and descriptions. As our mains we had the cheese bread boat, beef stew and chicken. The beef stew was deep with flavour and my favourite. The chicken thighs had crispy skin and a creamy garlicky sauce that was great for dipping with the bread. We will definitely come back.

5 /5 Bruno Esteves: What an incredible meal! This place is a real gem for anyone curious about Georgian food or just looking for something a bit different. We started with khinkali (Georgian dumplings), which were perfectly steamed with a soft, delicate dough and a rich, juicy filling inside. Absolutely spot on and a must-order. The roasted potatoes with peppers and onions were simple but full of flavour, with a lovely smoky edge and a tangy dipping sauce that worked beautifully alongside them. For mains, the khachapuri was outstanding – warm, fluffy bread filled with melted cheese and a golden, bubbling top. Pure comfort food and easily one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the sliced pie-style bread, which was crispy on the outside, soft inside, and great for sharing. The stuffed aubergine rolls were beautifully presented and packed with flavour, topped with fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds that added a nice freshness and crunch. Lovely atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent value for the quality and portion sizes. Everything felt freshly made and thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something hearty, comforting, and a little bit different. We’ll definitely be back!
