Louise Elaron We came to Eli’s today after reading all the wonderful reviews, and it absolutely lived up to (and exceeded) our expectations. The food was truly delicious, beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and clearly made with real care and quality ingredients. What really stood out though was the welcome. We were made to feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived, which is such a rarity these days. It was so refreshing to relax in a restaurant where the atmosphere is warm and thoughtful. The interior is absolutely beautiful too, stylish, calm and inviting, making the whole experience feel like a proper treat rather than just a meal out. An incredible place with incredible food and lovely people. We will 100% be back and will be recommending Eli’s to everyone we know.

Devin Wiesner Superlative: I got the set lunch menu. The dishes were beautifully presented, well thought out, balanced and seasoned beautifully. The service was excellent and each dish set the bar high and was unique in some way. Praavas delivered attention to detail and skill not commonly found. I savored each bite and at the end of the meal felt appreciative and a sense of gratitude for having this experience. Having said that, the Naan was fresh though a little pedestrian, a bit ordinary, I asked for some mint chutney on the side (for the Naan) and the waiter graciously obliged. I have a sense that the mint chutney was made in house as it was very good and elevated the naan to an exemplary experience. Needless to say I highly recommend Praavas and the set menu in particular, it was exceptional.

Cathryn Tracy Really lovely afternoon tea for a special occasion. Fabulous food and great service from Raz who couldn’t have been more helpful. We had taken the tour immediately before the afternoon tea and had a wonderful time at both.

German Kolesnikov We came here for dinner, and the experience was very nice. The restaurant has 2 available seatings: the ground-floor hotel area, and also seating in the basement. If you want a more atmospheric setting, pick the basement seating. The food was fantastic. The salads and badrijani were very well made, and tasted super nice. The Khinkali were juicy and savory (I recommend the pork and beef ones), and the khachapuri was also very good. The service was good, the waiting time was not long, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a great Georgian spot that I can see myself repeatedly eating at.

Julian Balling Lovely dinner experience. The atmosphere is spot on—very stylish but relaxed. Friendly service and top-tier appetizers (the Fried Ricotta was a highlight). Portions for the pasta might seem small initially but are actually quite satisfying. Great selection of traditional Italian desserts to finish. Highly recommend for a date or a cozy dinner.

Wes Parker Delightful. I found this jewel using Google maps after leaving the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was a little confusing at first, as it was inside the Rembrandt Hotel. To add to the confusion, the actual restaurant was closed but the bar was open. I took my chances, and ordered fish and chips from the bar. The person who took my order was extremely friendly and I waited in a very comfortable chair at a small table. When the food came out, it was piping hot and looked marvelous. Looks were not deceiving. It was delicious. Whats more, the chef came out to see if everything was okay about 10 minutes after I was served. I am from the United States and my idea of fish and chips was what they serve at Captain Ds. In many ways, this was very similar. The battery was nice and crunchy and the fries were like steak fries, not potato wedges. The English peas were very tasty as well. I rounded out the meal with sticky toffee pudding.
