ode ოდე — Restaurant in Tbilisi

Beware, SCAM! All the positive reviews here are likely fake. Let me say this right away — I do not recommend this place to anyone. Avoid it like the plague. I once wrote a similar review about another place in Ufa, but this one managed to be even worse. First and foremost — the food here is simply inedible. Literally, no exaggeration. I ordered a stew dish with chashushuli meat. This dish is entirely based on meat — the meat is supposed to be the highlight. It should be tender and flavorful. So what did we get here? The meat was literally impossible to chew. It was so tough that, as someone wearing braces, I simply couldn't chew it — it was painful. On top of that, it had tendons in it, which is also completely unacceptable for this kind of dish. Overall, this dish deserves a solid 0 out of 10, so after a few bites, I just stopped eating it and pushed the plate aside. That brings us to the second point — the service. So, what would you expect from a waiter who sees that the dish they just brought has been pushed away and clearly isn’t being eaten? Normally, they would come over and ask if everything is okay. What happened here? The waitress completely ignored us for half an hour and never came back to our table — not when my companion finished their meal, not when I finished my orange juice. Instead, she actively avoided us, and when we finally asked for the bill, a different waiter, a man, came over. At that moment, you'd hope that maybe he would show at least some awareness and ask whether everything was okay or if the food was good. But no — he just seemed eager to get rid of us, hand over the check, and maybe give us a kick on the way out. Of course, that didn’t stop them from bringing some complimentary drinks. I poured them into the same dish that was still sitting untouched on the table. And guess what? Still no reaction. It seems they’re so used to people being disappointed by the food that they’ve developed a whole routine for pretending not to notice. And let’s not forget the mandatory tip, which is automatically added to the bill — 15%. So if your meal costs 50 GEL, be ready to leave another 10 GEL as a tip to the same people who basically spat in your face. And the best part? Enjoy it. Really savor the moment when you're treated like garbage, left hungry after a long day of walking around the city, and then head off to find some shawarma just to get...

The worst gastronomic experience I have had so far. The food was far from it’s description and completely inedible. The salad with supposedly «melted » cheese was a not fresh lettuce leaves covered with a weird cheesy substance and the sauce was nonexistent. The not-so-cheap aperol spritz was completely watered down. When faced with the waiter, an extremely rude man approached us accusing us of being wrong that the food is not to our liking. He didn’t propose any alternative and just said that «all Georgia loved this place » which is a complete lie because all these nearly 5k reviews are clearly bought from some bot farm. The rudeness was incredible, accusing us of being « unhappy » because we didn’t agree to pay 100 gel into this man’s pocket to sit in front of a tv screen during football (I honestly couldn’t care less about football, we just wanted to have a nice dinner). This agressive behaviour was unacceptable and we were forced to pay for our meals without proposing any alternative. I am honestly shocked of such attitude and I hope this man will face consequences from the restaurant’s management. To all people interested in visiting this place, my...

I don’t know who is leaving so many positive reviews—it looks like they’re fake. Be careful. Our visit to this restaurant was terrible. The waiters were running around the dining area splashing some kind of liquid everywhere. They were shouting across the room, making noise, and laughing loudly. It was extremely hot and stuffy inside, even though the air conditioner was on. The interior was decorated for New Year’s (even though it’s July). We ordered two salads, and they took a very long time to prepare. When they finally arrived, we were appalled by their taste. The shrimp and beef salads were just drowned in sauce and completely inedible. The beef salad was extremely spicy and garlicky—I ended up eating only the meat on top. The salad itself had a strong vinegar smell (possibly to cover up the odor of stale ingredients), and the shrimp were extremely salty. The toilets were awful, dirty, old, with flies everywhere. I strongly advise against visiting this place. In my entire life, I’ve never been to a...
