I enjoyed the food at K Family very much but the execution and portion sizes will keep this a one time event. Looking at the other reviews, perhaps this was an off night, but there were too many little things to keep it from being worth our 140 euro bill for four.
I went in with three friends and we ordered a fair selection of the menu to share. The first round of bread, which were these delightful little rolls, tasted great, but was uncooked on the inside. The second round came out cooked on the inside, but black on the outside.
The Georgian dumplings were tasty and well executed (not my first encounter), however the price does not make sense. Reminds me of how tacos are priced in most of Europe. In the case of Mexican food there are specialty ingredients which explain this (the cheese, proper corn tortillas, for example). Dumplings being flower and meat, do not seem to warrant such foreign food inflation. I could easily see a portion size of double what is offered. I would be disappointed to go in by myself and pay 17 euros for three dumplings and leave hungry.
Appetizers were a similar story. Small portions; 6 mushrooms that were undercooked, filled with a basic cheese and offered for 10 euros.
The highlight of the meal was a beautiful chicken dish with a yellow sauce that appeared to be mustard base. Cannot be sure. The flavor was rich and unique, despite the dish coming to our table as if it had been off the heat and sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes.
I hope K-Family can sort out some of these execution issues and deliver justice to the great recipes on the menu. You need to give a customer enough food to actually enjoy it.
Until then it gets filed in the large stack of Delft restaurants with a price that is just not in line with the experience, and...
Read moreWe had a nice dinner at this restaurant with our friends, where we got to explore the flavors of Georgian cuisine. Our server was very patient and guided us through the menu, helping us navigate the unfamiliar dishes.
We tried the aubergine rolls stuffed with walnuts and cream cheese. They were wonderfully fresh and flavorful. Additionally, we sampled the corn ribs—a unique creation by the owner—featuring corn prepared to resemble ribs, seasoned to perfection.
Moving on, we ordered both khachapuri and khinkali. Unlike any dumplings I've had before, the khinkali dumplings stood out with their fresh and tasty fillings. The khachapuri, similar to a Georgian-style pizza, surprised me with its harmonious blend of tender, crunchy dough and melted cheese—a truly delightful combination. Our dessert choices impressed, particularly the Napoleon cake, boasting layers of sweetness without overwhelming sugariness. As for beverages, I suggest trying the Georgian orange wine, despite its higher cost.
Overall, this culinary journey marked our first experience with Georgian cuisine. Our server's hospitality left a positive impression, and I wouldn't hesitate to revisit. The inviting ambiance added to the overall warmth of the evening. It's worth noting that while the prices are on the higher side, they align with those of comparable establishments. Although, a slight reduction in the cost of the dumplings (khinkali) would...
Read moreWe came for late lunch, where we were immediately warned that there was only one free small table in this restobar and that we should hurry with our order, because some group of people was supposed to arrive in a while. We decided to stay without hesitation, because we purposefully came for shashlyk. But after our order, the waitress completely ignored us. Plus: If you order lemonade (not homemade), it is poured from a plastic 1.5 liter bottle into a jar. This jar stood with the waitress at the bar for almost 10 minutes, and of course the green water that was served to us was hard to call lemonade. The glasses for lemonade are different, the cups for tea are different, as if they collected dishes from old sets and brought everything that was left to the customers. When ordering tea, you will receive tea without cups, because you have to ask for them. Nobody mentions any sugar or honey at all. Shashlyk is meat baked in the oven. It would be good to warn about this. If you want shahlyk, look for another place. When we were leaving, we honestly told to the waitress that we didn't really like it. So we received an explanation in response that we are stupid and do not understand Georgian cuisine. Among the pluses is a nice interior. Khinkali were more or less tasty, but it felt that they were not...
