Genazvale in Berlin

Perfect place to eat and discover Georgian culture

Fantastic service and even better food. I will definitely come to Georgia

Food is great, and the personnel is amazing. Really recommend

The food was absolutely delicious!! The servers were very kind and the restaurant was big and spacious and decorated so cutely!

The food is very fresh and tasty, just a pleasure, many thanks to the chefs for the taste! The interior is very pleasant and noble, good lighting, beautiful original elements of Georgian culture throughout the restaurant. But unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. I think they are all wonderful people in their own right, but at work they fail to fulfill their responsibilities because they simply don't have enough hands during rush hour. The management just needs to hire at least 2-3 additional waiters who will compensate for the big disadvantage of the restaurant - attention to the guests and taking care of the tables. For 4 hours stay in the restaurant from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday there are the following comments: - At first the staff was friendly, cheerful and approachable, but then the waitress simply disappeared, and when I found him ordering an additional portion of khinkali and wine, the waiter was visibly annoyed and took the order with obvious reluctance, as if She did a favor, it was the first call. - Then the waiter came at 7pm and said that we still had half an hour and had to leave, which was absolutely surprising in the middle of our vacation. - The manager explained the situation by saying that our table was reserved by other guests at 8:00 p.m - During negotiations, she said two sentences that speak of her extreme lack of professionalism and attitude towards customers: “Yes, you have a table reserved for 4:00 p.m., but that doesn’t mean you can sit here forever?” “Please understand me, what do I do with 10 guests arriving at 8:00 p.m. and if you don't understand it, you don't have to understand it” and left - At 7:30 p.m., when all our guests were already getting dressed, we were told that we could stay, I stood at the bar for 10 minutes waiting for the bill because the waiter and the manager were confused about who ordered what - And finally, the waiter practically did not put away used dishes, dirty napkins, empty plates, empty bottles... Diploma: The food is tasty and of a high standard, but the attitude of the waiters and the manager towards visitors is not at all appropriate for a restaurant of this level, and this is a pity, because over many years of work everything could have been improved, but the manager is more important than profit, people come second. Don't expect friendly and reasonable service. The waiters and managers here may be nice people, especially at first, but they are extremely rude and unprofessional, plus there are disastrously few waiters for so many seats.

The prices do not match the fact that for some reason the check and menu for 2 persons are refused on Sundays,

Nice service, delicious authentic food

Traditional Georgian food of the highest quality. Can be recommended without hesitation.

Service is friendly but seems unprofessional and sometimes overloaded. Some employees speak German very poorly. Despite staying for 2 1/2 hours, we weren't asked for any more drinks. Four dishes were ordered and one was forgotten. No side dishes were asked when ordering. Food is ok, priced higher and the side dishes are charged extra. The biggest problem for us was that it was extremely loud in the restaurant and normal conversation was not possible.

An incredible team dinner experience! We decided to try almost everything on the menu — and yes, we pulled it off. The flavors were phenomenal, the portions generous, and by the end, we were absolutely stuffed. The best kind of food coma: almost painful, but filled with pure joy. Highly recommend it!

Great place to enjoy company and food. Decoration is lovely too

The atmosphere is not very inviting. It was very loud and everything was cramped and crowded. The service was subpar. First we got the wrong drink, then the wrong food. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes for the right food. And bread wasn't even offered. To top it off, they wanted to charge us for the wrong food.

I liked everything. Came during the week with family. There were quite a few people there, as the food there was very tasty. The waiters are responsive and polite. I recommend it. The lamb was cooked very tasty, juicy khinkali with herbs (my husband even ate them with legs😄) Thank you, I liked everything!!!

This place is average and expensive.

Great Georgian restaurant. Very, very nice service and very attentive and friendly. The food was really good and a new experience for me. But it is absolutely recommended. I'll definitely be back.

Sehr schön und sehr schmeckt. Very beautiful restaurant and friendly people, friendly and pleasant, the restaurant is very cozy and warm atmosphere, I really liked it and it’s very tasty, thank you very much to this restaurant

-Ignorant/overtaxed staff- I was here on a Friday with four family members. The staff seemed very friendly and we were looking forward to the delicious food. However, we were granted this that evening. We sat for 1 1/2 hours and waited for our order, asked several times, but were not provided with drinks or anything to eat. Nobody really spoke German, but English didn't seem to help much either. So we left the warm and noisy restaurant hungry and thirsty. The table was beautifully set. Thanks for nothing.

ATTENTION - TERRIBLE! At 6 p.m. we had reserved a table in the Genazvale restaurant for 5 people. When we arrived there, we were greeted by a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately, that was the only positive thing about the evening. After about 10 minutes our order was accepted. The waiter could hardly understand us, which made ordering a little difficult. After over an hour we didn't get a drink or food. We spoke to the waiters several times and were told they would take care of it. After an hour and a half we spoke to a senior who apologized and wanted to invite us for a free drink. The waiter disappeared and didn't come back for the next 10 minutes. Frustrated, we got up and left this store after 1:45 hours. We have never experienced such bad service! I can only advise against this store. A complete waste of time!!!

The food was good, but overpriced in my opinion. No side dishes were recommended for this, so I was a bit at a loss. Some of the staff were rather cold and didn't speak any German. The atmosphere is very authentic.

Very tasty, very friendly, especially thank you for service waitress Amina. We were VERY satisfied.

It’s delicious, but you have to ask for sour cream sauces separately; the staff doesn’t offer or warn that khinkali is served without sauce. It seems to be good, but it falls a little short.

Genazvale has a great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the khinkali were great! 100% recommendation from me!

Great food, bad service. Long waiting time But food is delicious

Two of the orders were lately prepared. The quality is medium. I can say it is not worth the price.

Food was good but not necessarily specific. Service on call (was a lot to do). Nice furnishings but large acoustics.

Cozy, elegant, delicious. Service super and food amazing. If you wanna travel to Georgia without going there, then this is the place! Recommend 🥰

Everything is great! We'll come again! I came to the establishment and found myself a wife!)

The best Georgian wine, the restaurant is very bright and cozy, everything feels like home. When you enter you are greeted with a smile, you want to come again and again. I recommend it to everyone!!!

Great facility!! Pleasant waiters, clean atmosphere, and very tasty food

Very tasty and soulful. Top notch service. We'll be back again with pleasure!

Very good atmosphere. The food is very tasty, real Georgian flavor. Service at the highest level. I recommend it to everyone!!!

Special thanks for the delicious and fresh food. The waiters are very responsive. Everything was very tasty, very quickly. Very good music and cool atmosphere. We will come here many more times

Очень классное место , ужин был замечательный , безумно вкусная еда , и очень классные официанты, особенно могу подметить официанта Кирилла , очень приятный и хороший официант

Very traditional restaurant but very flexible and very tasty! Definitely recommend for traditional cuisine.

The best restaurant in Berlin, we visited with friends, we really liked it, pleasant and polite waiters (you can immediately see they are professionals in their field), the food is at the highest level, and of course an excellent bar and a friendly bartender, in one word I recommend visiting

Really good food. The restaurant is super authentic and has a first-class charm. I'd love to come back. I would drive the 250km just for that. The service is on point. The boss seems to be very interested in ensuring that the customers feel comfortable and don't wait long. The menu is extremely long, which makes it difficult to decide as you want to try everything. I felt like I was at home. Thank you for the wonderful hours 😊👍

The food was really good, the service was nice, but unfortunately the restaurant wasn't for couples, it was too loud, you felt like you were sitting in a bar or cafe, unfortunately.

When we ordered we were immediately asked if we spoke Russian. We said no. There was a Russian-speaking family at the next table. Three waiters buzzed around the guests. We sat in front of our empty glasses and plates. Nobody came by. There were only two tables occupied in the afternoon. No thanks, no requests, no “goodbyes”, no “did you like it?” Drinks were placed on the table without a word. There was no pouring. The service staff sometimes didn't understand us and made us feel unwelcome. It's a shame, we knew it completely differently.

Great Georgian cuisine, one of the best in Berlin. Very nice service.

Three of us ate, it cost 140 euros. The food is super, the staff is 3. When paying, the check turned out to have Apfelschorle for 30 (!) euros, although it wasn’t even ordered and the rest of the check was fine.

We had a really tasty meal here today. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant, the tables are all lovingly set ❤️ the service is very attentive and friendly 🥰 we haven't eaten Georgian food that often and were really surprised here. From the starter to the dessert, everything was excellent. We ordered different dishes and always divided them into three. Starter stewed eggplant and stuffed pancakes with cheese, main course veal with champions and Georgian kebab and for dessert chocolate cake. The food was perfect 👌🏼The house wine is also recommended. All in all, we will come again. Thank you very much 🤗

Wonderful to eat and enjoy! Even a hamburger will be happy here!

Super delicious food. Service could be even better. Very friendly but not particularly attentive. Cozy Come again

The bread is delicious and the lamb is tender but very salty; the homemade red wine is delicious; it is very popular during meal time, so it is recommended to make a reservation; I will probably go there again

Absolutely delicious food, epic wine and perfect atmosphere we were looking for in a Georgian restaurant experience. Highly recommend

Very tasty food, huge portions, it's best to share the food with several people. A waitress spoke good German, otherwise it was a little more difficult, but still very, very nice service, good price-performance ratio, toilets also very clean, we will definitely be back, thank you for the lovely evening

Very nice and authentic restaurant. The only wish for waiters is asking guests how dishes might be served: simultaneously or when ready.

Large rooms, large selection of food and drinks. Just the aromatic tea! As we all know, it's a matter of taste.

We came across the restaurant through Lukas' video and really wanted to try the food. What can we say; we weren't disappointed. The food was incredibly delicious. We had to wait a bit but it was also freshly prepared. It was the best meal we ate during our Berlin trip. The waitress who served us (but also the others) were super nice. We can recommend it to everyone and would eat there again and again.

Top Georgian with great ambience and great staff. Georgian hospitality is lived here. Food was excellent.

The food was really good, the service was very nice, but the atmosphere...?! Of course we sat outside at 28 degrees and there was no tablecloth or seat cushions. Unfortunately that wasn't guest friendly or appealing.

Very tasty, hospitable and with plenty of space inside and out. Various original drinks from Georgia, service was friendly and quick without it becoming uncomfortable 😄 Opening times great to go straight from work to the end of the day!

Super gorgeous. The inside is beautiful and super decorated, the waiters are friendly and good, and smile at you, and the food is delicious. I like. I'll be back.

Delicious food, who loves Georgian cuisine, there are waiters who speak Russian. Atmospheric establishment

Great food, friendly and attentive service. Gladly again....

The food is yummy and the portions are huge! The bread with cheese and egg yolk is really special!

Very nice place with high quality food. Price is above average, but worth it

I have now had to deduct a lot from the initial 5*. I have known Genazvale for a very, very long time (even when it was located on Windscheidstrasse in Charlottenburg). It was/has actually always been my favorite restaurant when it comes to Georgian cuisine. Dined there countless times, drank and really had a good time & ate delicious food. The last time was really disappointing. The food (at least what I ordered) lost some of its flavor. The menu has become different (smaller?), but the prices have increased. The staff is apparently new... I strongly suspect that the owner has changed too!! That would explain a lot too. That's really a pity. I'll give the Genazvale a second chance at some point and hope that I just had a "bad" day there. Unfortunately points deducted!!!!!!!

It’s very tasty, I recommend you go and you’ll like it

Thank you very much for the delicious food. Thank you very much and see you soon.

We went to this restaurant for the first time today. OMG, it was all delicious!!! Very friendly staff and the food was on the table quickly! Definitely worth 5 stars!!!

The food is delicious and very underrated, the service was nice and helpful, the atmosphere is very relaxed. The food came very quickly and that's why I give the restaurant 5 stars

Atmospheric restaurant. The dishes are excellent. Good service I'll go again.

Disgusting service. Unfriendly staff. I don't recommend it.

The food was very good the staff still needs work.

On the first evening there was a bit of a problem with the service, but everything was really good and it was just a nice evening. Haven't been here three times since then and the service just isn't good. Food is generally good, ambience is great. But for the price you can and should really expect more.

Yesterday, my wife and I decided once again to travel from Frankfurt/Oder to Berlin and treat ourselves to a delicious dinner. But.... unfortunately, there was one disappointment. 1. The service certainly leaves much to be desired. 2. Food, prices have risen, portions have become smaller, and the quality of food... I am sure that Georgians can cook better. 3. The taste of homemade wine is reminiscent of cheap Soviet wine, like “Agdam”, but I’m generally silent about tea, a disposable bag is even tastier. I apologize to the owners of the Genatsvali restaurant, but it’s better to tell you the truth in the hope that you will correct all the shortcomings than to flatter and say that everything was delicious. Sincerely, Gurban

Wonderful cuisine, exquisite dishes. Excellent service. Special thanks to the waiter Diana for the pleasant service.

I ordered a salad with the Georgian name “Gennatsvali”, and in the end I received a 100% Greek salad with chicken and croutons (the chicken in the salad was incredibly dry). Khachapuri is also with dry dough... The only Georgian thing in this place was Georgian wine. The staff is polite. But the kitchen 👎

I liked Khachapuri and Khinkali. It’s delicious and the portion of khachapuri with double cheese is huge, enough for two. We didn’t like the fact that we ordered another dish, which they forgot to bring to us, but it was included in the bill.

The employees are just super!!! Everything is very tasty Chacha is excellent!!!!! I recommend the establishment Hello Tura!!!

I'm probably spoiled by my favorite Georgian, the sample of this alternative is not convincing, except for the friendly service. The food is below average and the drinks are completely overpriced. Maybe you want to correspond to the rooms that are intended to be noble, which could also be classified as kitschy and overloaded. For me there is no reason to come back.

What I thought of the restaurant🤔 was a shame... The waitresses were friendly, but unfortunately our order didn't meet expectations, we had to wait a long time until everyone had their order. One dish was forgotten and we had to say one more dish was missing and finally after a long wait everything was cold. I will not return to this restaurant nor will I recommend it to any friend. 3 stars for the wine and the two waitresses who were friendly.

Very tasty food, good service and nice ambience. The “dumplings” as a starter were great. The pork on the spit was super tender and the lamb was well seasoned. Highly recommended, although relatively expensive.

Everything is just great! We will definitely visit again. 👍

Definitely wouldn't come back. For €18 you get a small bowl (only vegetables, nothing containing fiber) of a vegetarian main course. We were asked whether we wanted the main course warm or cold. When we ordered it warm, it was suddenly €6 more expensive without us being told when we asked whether it was warm or cold. I had to talk to the manager afterwards because I didn't understand that I had to pay €6 more without warning. Especially since I ordered mushrooms stuffed with cheese as my main course for around €13. As written, this was advertised as the main course. What I got was a complete plate of small mushrooms stuffed with cheese. Without supplements. By the way, there's no highlight in terms of taste either. It may be that it was on the menu, but for something that is advertised as a main course, I expect side dishes. You don't eat something like that alone for lunch at home. And that for 13€. All in all, I can only recommend eating somewhere else. The restaurant is really beautifully designed, but I would like to be at least halfway full with one main course.

While Georgian compatriots were greeted nicely, we felt unwelcome. No thanks, no requests, no “goodbyes”, no “did you like it?” Drinks were placed on the table without a word. There was no pouring. The waitress didn't even smile and made us feel unwelcome. The music was very loud and we were denied a seat by the window on the grounds that it was reserved. However, this and other window seats were not occupied the entire time. What a shame! The food was really very tasty. But we won't come again.

Some of the food we ordered was constantly forgotten. Was always only brought after repeated requests (several times in the evening). Restaurant was only half full, so it wasn't due to occupancy. The staff apologized, but then didn't bring the ice cream we ordered (but didn't charge for it either). Were there about 6 years ago and the impression was completely different back then. A pity.

Everything was great, gladly again!

The best Georgian restaurant outside Georgia (and even better than many of inside Georgia). Quality at the highest level. Delicious, elegant, friendly staff. Wonderful experience.

It was really tasty, everything was fresh, very good quality, and the price-performance ratio was also good.

Very cozy restaurant, everything was delicious, the staff was polite. Many thanks to the management, cooks and waiters!!! I liked everything very much)))

Very nicely decorated inside, but the service is not very good the prices are relatively high

Very beautiful place, well the food is 4/5

Great restaurant, everything is delicious! The service is very friendly

We are very very pleased. Well done. Very tasty and cozy.

Rudest customer service I have ever dealt with would not recommend to anyone

Amazing kompot, just what I had waited tp taste since years. The same goes for hinkali and shashlik. I will surely come back, thank you!

Excellent Georgian food, very recommended. As a drink you should definitely try grape kompot!

Great Georgian restaurant. Despite the size, you have a feeling of calm. Service is quick, food is served almost before ordering. The selection of dishes is very good. Since there seem to be a lot of Georgians present, the food is probably authentic.

Delicious! Great birthday celebrated here!

UPD: Attention!!! The owner is trying to force me to delete this comment from Google. Unfortunately it's gone very badly: new waiters are a disaster 🤌 I can't recognize my favorite food anymore... it's a shame 🫣

Addendum: I received mail from Google today. The owner feels his personal rights have been violated and would like to have this review removed. When did it actually become fashionable to have reviews removed by a lawyer instead of adequately responding to them and learning from them? I have now sent Google proof of our stay and my real name is also available. Bad style, Genazvale. We opened the restaurant on December 25th. visited at lunchtime. We had reserved for 6 people and were immediately reprimanded by the boss that if there were only five of us, we wouldn't get a table for six, but that if the sixth person came, a chair would be added. Mind you: the restaurant was not busy at this time and remained so until the end of our visit. The young waiter was not very approachable, listless and very unfriendly due to his demeanor. The food disappointed us, neither nicely presented nor a highlight in terms of taste and has deteriorated a lot since our last visit there. This visit was definitely our last.

Great pride in their service, their country and its beauty and traditions. I was even escorted around after dinner to learn about some of what was displayed.

The food was super tasty. Unfortunately, I have to confirm that the timing of the main courses wasn't quite right. A meal of five arrived about 10 minutes later.

A nice evening! Everything tasted delicious and the service was incredibly attentive. We sat at a table for two and with several plates it can get tight - but it was cleared away quickly so we didn't feel cramped. Great food, great ambience, great staff - it was by no means the first time we were there but certainly not the last time either 😉

Delicious! Good food at normal prices. Very nice staff. Large selection of excellent Georgian wines.

Das Essen war sehr gut. Was allerdings fragwürdig war, war die Tatsache, dass die Rechnung explizit als"keine Rechnung" gekennzeichnet war. Das legt nahe, dass nach Bezahlvorgang alles in der Kasse gelöscht wird und die Umsatzsteuer nicht abgeführt wird. Bei vermutlich über Asyl und staatlich gepäppelten Einwanderern wäre Umsatzsteuerhinterziehung frech. Alles nur eine Vermutung - aber eine echte Rechnung wäre schon angebracht.

The ambience is authentic and the food is simply amazing! Everything tasted fantastic! Aromatic and very true to Georgian cuisine! I would deduct half a star because the staff could be a bit friendlier and nicer, but here we had the feeling that we were being a nuisance. But praise again to the chef: we haven't eaten this good in a long time!
