I decided to upgrade my rating from 4 to 5 stars due to my many visits during my stay in Tiflis: Cocktails: Cocktails are really excellent, the bar keepers definitely know what they are doing. My Negroni and Old fashioned were excellent, the cocktails of my wife as well. Food: Georgian and a variety of international foods are being offered. The Menu is not quite big but sufficient. The quality of the food is really good, however, in my and the opinion of my friends, the grill is not used properly on e.g. fish and vegetables. The vegetables which came with the chicken were still uncooked despite they were grilled. The burned areas were really bitter - like burned bread. The fish was well cooked, however - same problem with the bitterness of the grill. I dont know if the temperature of the grill is to high for this kind of food or its just typical georgian. Yet, the waiter was really kind and served a new plate of fish (were the fish hadnt been grilled). The khachapuris, soups, salads etc are great too. The risotto could have needed 3-4 minutes more in the pan (for my taste). Service: Depending on were you sit the waiters are good - excellent. Location, interior, coffee & Chocolate: I have to be honest, i fell in love with this location when i visited it for the first time. I wish i would have such a restaurant/cafe in Vienna. They owners paid so much attention to details and quality. When you look around you can see that only high quality kitchen equipment, coffee machines, grinders, champagne glasses (riedel), coffee/tea cups (acme) are being used. They even make bean to bar chocolate and roast their own coffee. The chocolate tastes amazing. We bought a bunch of chocolate and pralines as presents and for us at home. However, the coffee didnt not really meet my expectations. I prefer medium to dark roasts - arabica or with a 15% -50 % high quality robusta amount. The coffee used is not appropriate for a good espresso (in my opinion) - the acidity is simply to high. With milk or as americano - enjoyable.

Café Stamba, Stamba Hotel, Tbilisi, Georgia: The most resplendent, decadent, hip, trendy, indulgent and hedonistic spot in the whole of Tbilisi. The colossal hotel was a former Soviet printing house and the restored warehouse hotel retains some of the brutalist elements. No one can resist sauntering into the hotel – the glasshouse structure is open and beckoning to all passersby. It’s beyond Georgian, welcoming all tourists and gawkers who amble into the lobby defined by the solid concrete beams ahead. Large potted plants soften the brutalist edges. Contemporary lush furniture and clever lightings wrap you in style. There are several spaces – Café Stamba, amphitheatre, outdoor bar, Tbilisi photography museum, a workspace, indoor space farm and gift shops. Café Stamba is hands-down, our favourite dining spot in the city. Part luxe, part kickback casual. Come in whatever you wish to wear and you fit right in. The resplendent massive chandelier-esque lighting at the entrance sets the style expectations sky-high. Bistro-styled Parisien booths up the posh factor. Feel free to amble around – you’ll discover the blurred-out boundaries that fluidly marries the restaurant with the café, open kitchens, outdoor seating, outdoor bar, amhpi-theatre and even the farm space. We ate light but it was truly filling – almond labneh with naan bread (beautiful and the crunch of chick peas was beautiful) and baked tortellini (simple but delicious in a straight-forward way). Unfortunately all grill dishes were out. I had a berry cocktail which was leaning towards sour but nonetheless eye-pleasing. The parisien dessert with dashes of Christmas green and red was the popular choice. We turned it into a birthday cake for my son. This is one of the most impressive restored contemporary stylish hotel and restaurant I’ve set foot it. It’s a giant style guide that has no other contenders. The only challenge is to elbow your way through the curious crowds jostling for a well-framed shot. #eatstylishtravelstylish

Well, well, well... What do we have here? 2 out of 7 from my list "Café Stamba" (Stamba Hotel) Subjectively: Café Stamba is the very first place I worked in starting from 2019. Those times we had a restaurant service level. Now Café Stamba is literally “Café”. Review: 12/35. Not satisfied... Objectively: 1) Answering with the introduction of place, employee name, and correct text (0/3 points) 2) Polite and helpful (0/1 point) 3) Confirmation or not confirmation of reservation (0/1 point) 4) Greet and escort to the table (1/1 point) 5) Menu was delivered in 2 minutes (1/1 point) 6) Menu is clean and proper (1/1 point) 7) Ask for the aperitif before the meal (0/1 point) 8) Taking order at a time (1/1 point) 9) Suggestions and upselling (0/2 points) 10) Ask about the consequences of dishes (0/1 point) 11) Double-check the order (0/1 point) 12) Special table set-up depending on the dishes (if needed) (0/1 point) 13) The food was delivered on time, presentable, hot/cold as it has to be (1/3 points) 14) Feedback (0/1 point) 15) If the order was served as per guest request (0/1 point) 16) Paying attention during the whole dinner period (1/2 points) 17) Bill was delivered in 2 minutes (0/1 point) 18) Farewell the guest in a proper manner (1/2 points) 19) Staff grooming (2/3 points) 20) Staff attitude and behavior (1/2 points) 21) Staff professionalism (1/3 points) 22) Overall atmosphere (1/2 points) Just a few moments I want to mention on top of all: 1) Was trying to reserve a table but couldn’t reach them in 2 days. But when I came – they weren’t busy at all. 2) I was forbidden to use my laptop in the café. 3) Again, inappropriate trey holding (swinging and playing with it on the floor); 4) I lost the attention of the service members after the order was served; 5) Staff gathering in the middle of the restaurant aka birja; 6) I asked to serve first dessert and coffee and then pasta. It took 10 mins to bring my coffee plus was not hot; dessert was in 15 mins; I had no time to even take my cutlery they brought the pasta. 7) Serving the plates “for share” needs to be placed a cutlery to share. P.S. My "Napoleon" was super dry and I had only a fork as a cutlery to it. Was impossible to take a bite.

One of the worst customer services and disgusting food 🤬overpriced considering to what they have to offer lol 🤡 Very nice location and the place is the best, terrace in the garden is one of my favourite places to sit with friends, yet last time the experience was disappointing 😬 The menus are not offered ever, we always wait up to 40 min and then we have to put some effort to get one. The food and drinks come after another 30 min, and it’s not what you expect from such a popular place. My friend ordered this breakfast and it was burnt and overall not good. We had several ‘talks’ with a waiter and we had to fight for some response! The waiter talked back and denied our feedback, after 4 rounds they brought a manager who at least listened to us without arguing and then brought my friend a box of chocolates, that my friend also didn’t like 😂 We had to ask for water 5 times while being there for a few hours, and then we got it from fridge (it’s October), asked to change again. Once I celebrated my birthday there and it was like 15 people eating and drinking Prosecco non-stop, afterwards we wanted to eat a birthday cake we got from another place and they forbid us, so we had to go to the park and eat it together with plastic forks. That was so rude, we spent around 1K lari there, and we couldn’t eat cake there? It was clearly a birthday party? What the actual f? I always want to come back there, because it’s really nice to be there, however the service is sooo bad, it makes me upset every time😭

We had to go to this beautiful place without a reservation. The ladies at the door helped us find a seat. However, since we did not have a reservation, we sat at a shared table. This wasn't a problem since the table was large. We tried Georgian pita (Khachapuri), pizza, kebab and different types of pasta for dinner. It was all very nice. It was too much for 3 people and we couldn't finish it. The kebab was made with lamb and beef and served with pickled onions. It was the most delicious meal! Khachapuri had an amazing consistency. Pizza was also very good. And although we did not visit many places in Tbilisi to make this comment, it would not be a surprise that this is one of the best places to eat pasta. The other issue we want to mention is service speed. Before coming here, some people said that the service was slow, but on Saturday evening, even when all the tables were full, our meals were prepared quickly with a fast service. We wanted to drink beer with the meal, so we enjoyed beer until the food arrived. Also, everywhere was clean. The open kitchen concept is always reassuring. Finally, the interior design applied to an old building added spaciousness to the space. The chandeliers and the brick patterns on the walls are very nice. High ceilings make you feel comfortable. So we lose track of time.

I tried the Lemon Ricotta with Vegetables and the Chicken & Bazhe. The lemon ricotta with vegetables was good, everything tasted fresh and the vegetables complimented the zesty ricotta. The bread served with it was nice as well. The chicken & bazhe comes cold, which was not listed on the menu like the other cold dishes. The flavor profile was excellent, however, the chicken portion size was relatively small considering the price. Also, there was very little chili oil and pomegranate seeds yet a lot of parsley. I would have preferred it the other way around as the chili oil and pomegranate seeds enhanced the flavor. I also ordered what I thought was a pomegranate and vanilla lemonade. It was instead a very bitter flavored soda water. I can’t recommend trying this to others. The service was not great. I received my menu quickly, but it took almost 30 minutes to place my order. Then, another 30 minutes to receive my food. It also took several attempts and asking multiple servers to finally receive my bill. While their food and flavors are interesting, you’ll need to plan spending at least 2-3 hours here with the service.
