5 /5 Dea Managadze: If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Georgia right in the heart of London, Shoty is an absolute gem. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with the warmth and hospitality Georgia is famous for — it feels less like dining out and more like being invited to a Georgian feast.
The food is outstanding: beautifully baked khachapuri, tender khinkali, and rich, flavorful stews that instantly transport you to the Caucasus. Each dish tastes homemade, crafted with care and tradition.
What truly elevates the experience is the wine. Georgia is the birthplace of wine, with an 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition, and Shoty proudly showcases this heritage. Their selection of qvevri (clay amphora) wines is exceptional — earthy, complex, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere in London.
Whether you’re a longtime lover of Georgian cuisine or discovering it for the first time, Shoty offers an unforgettable journey through the flavors and history of one of the world’s oldest culinary cultures.
Highly recommended!
