Naturfreundehaus Stadtmühle in Balingen

We found out about this restaurant through Instagram and thought we would make the hour drive. We had reserved our seats by phone and when we arrived, the first thing we noticed was that it was very busy. A good sign. We were welcomed very friendly and escorted to our seats. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. From the menu you could see that sharing food is a tradition in Georgia and is also welcome here, so you can try more :-) The food was all very, very tasty and really nicely served. The time flew by and we had a great evening. We will definitely come back again.

Absolute recommendation, delicious food, good wine and the service was also great.

We were there for dinner on Sunday evening. There were hardly any people there and half of them had already eaten. My wife ordered salad and khinkali. I salad and shish kebab (pork). Half an hour later my wife got her salad and waited until I got mine. After a quarter of an hour I told her to eat her salad, I guess they forgot mine. After she finished the salad 10 minutes later the khinkali also arrived. I still wouldn't have an appetizer. After eternity I got my shish kebab and 15 minutes later the salad. I understand how the shish kebab is seasoned is a matter of taste. Therefore no comment about taste. Shish kebab was over-seasoned (over-salted) in places. Wouldn't have happened if you mixed thoroughly. Above all, the meat was dry, every single piece. Must not happen in Georgian cuisine. Shish kebab is a flagship dish in Georgian cuisine Something else about the service. When a guest has empty their glass, they ask if they would like to drink something else. If not, clear away empty glasses and plates. I don't know if we'll come again. I have to think carefully Addendum At our time there were hardly any guests and half of them had already eaten. I didn't feel like it anymore and was annoyed because of the long waiting time. I wouldn't feel like waiting another hour for a new portion of shish kebab. You should accept criticism and work on it.

Very good restaurant/food. When dishes are unknown, people explain how they are eaten without being asked. Nice and professional staff.

Very tasty, the dishes are beautifully prepared and the service is more than great.

09/22/24 Experimenting was the motto and we tried Georgian cuisine. We were very excited. The creations and spices gave the meal a special kick. It's something different but very good in my opinion. I would say try it yourself and send your taste buds on a taste excursion... run by a friendly staff and an ambience that exudes a calming mood with a touch of romance. The restaurant shouldn't have been around that long and they want and can change a few little things. I liked it and will try other dishes too.

Four of us ate here on Saturday evening and it was very tasty :) It was very cozy, the service was very friendly and attentive. It was a really nice evening and we were all full. We will definitely come back to try more of the delicious dishes.

Good service, food tasted great.

Waiting time for food was utopian! We made a reservation, were the first in the beer garden, and after 1.5 hours we still didn't receive any food. Everyone around us got their food. We won't come back and won't recommend it anymore!

I was very happy to find a restaurant with Georgian cuisine nearby. But my expectations weren't quite met. I've known Georgian cuisine for a long time and imagined it to be a little different. We ordered shish kebab for us and noodles for the child, even though they weren't on the menu (thank you very much, my child only eats noodles). 1. The plates for shish kebab were strange to me, until now I always got meat on larger plates. Here shish kebab looked like ragout from the oven. 2. You have to pay extra for sauce. 3. For me shish kebab must smell of coal, grill. Unfortunately that wasn't the case here. 4. We were full, price is ok.

Really great food, I'd love to come back. The staff is also really nice and attentive.

Very nice location in the GREEN with a beer garden under old trees. Nice staff serving the food explained.

Finally something different. Damn delicious. Host is very nice. It takes a while to eat, but it's really fresh and nothing off the shelf. There is no schnitzel here, there are fries, nuggets and 2-3 other things for children. My insider tip for anyone who wants something other than schnitzel, pizza or pastries.

Waiting an hour for food is completely normal However, the cuisine is very interesting and tastes good

We ate outside under a walnut tree. There were new impressions and tastes.

Very good cuisine and great staff

As a Georgian, I have always had a special affection for the national cuisine and traditions. Recently I visited this Georgian restaurant in Balingen together with my daughter, this place was a real discovery for us. The food is simply fantastic! The owners of the restaurant are wonderful people who do their work with love. This genuine hospitality and homely atmosphere made our visit unforgettable. I would eat there again and again and recommend it.

Recently I visited this wonderful Georgian restaurant in Balingen, and the impressions are only positive. The atmosphere here is incredibly cozy and inviting, you immediately feel at home. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated, every detail has been thought through and creates a unique atmosphere that takes you to the heart of Georgia. The food is simply fantastic! Every dish is prepared with soul and love, and you can taste it from the first bite. I would particularly like to highlight the Khachapuri and shish kebab, which simply melt in your mouth. All the ingredients are fresh and of high quality, the flavor combinations are simply great. The restaurant owners are true professionals. They are friendly, attentive and always ready to help choose dishes. Your sincere hospitality makes your visit to the restaurant even more enjoyable. Overall, this restaurant is a real find! I recommend everyone to visit it, you won't regret it!

We were visiting from New York and wanted some delicious food. This restaurant was the one few people have suggested us to visit and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious and people were very nice, spoke great English as well. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit!

I no longer live in Balingen, but when I visit home, a visit to the Stadtmühle is a must! Incredibly delicious food, super friendly staff, enough choice for vegetarians and vegans too. Georgian cuisine is something you don't know yet but definitely should know! I'm in heaven every time :) Thank you that you exist!

We really loved the Georgian restaurant in Balingen! The food was extremely tasty and we had the pleasure of trying many different dishes from the extensive menu. Every dish was deliciously prepared and it was an authentic Georgian taste experience. Particularly noteworthy is the Georgian wine, which is also highly recommended. The operation and service were very hospitable. We felt welcome and well looked after from the start. The entire evening was a completely successful experience. We will definitely come back and can only recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Friendly service, very tasty food and no long waiting times. Georgian cuisine has a lot to offer!

A great, hopefully no longer, “secret” tip! Great service. Food was explained. Good suggestions made. Quality great. New in taste but outstanding. Great wine selection. You have to try the Georgian wines. We will be back. Still have to try the other dishes! 😀

Very friendly service, food is something completely different, but super tasty and there is something on the menu for everyone! Any time

Georgian cuisine, nice family business, very friendly people... Delicious food, everything fresh. Great service. I'd love to come back. Thank you!

If you want to eat something different then Georgian food is highly recommended! Taste and quality is very good 👍 The staff is very friendly and very accommodating.... We'd love to come back again and again!👋

Very interesting food from Georgia and nice service.

Delicious food - lots of vegan dishes and more can be prepared upon request. The Lobio stew is recommended and the eggplant rolls are simply amazing! The staff are friendly and talk enthusiastically about Georgian cuisine.

Guys, it was sooooo delicious, the service was very friendly and helpful. We will come back in any case

The atmosphere was cozy, the staff friendly and attentive. The Georgian dishes were authentic and delicious, I particularly loved the Khachapuri. The wine selection was also excellent. Overall, a successful visit.

The atmosphere is super cozy and the food is incredible. What is particularly impressive is the variety of unique dishes that cannot be found anywhere else in the region. The khinkali and the appetizer platter are a real taste experience! The service was friendly and attentive. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to experience the diversity of Georgian cuisine!

As for the food, very tasty, well seasoned, good portion and nicely presented. Now to the restaurant...it's actually a nice room but unfortunately furnished with 0 taste, although it could be made nice and cozy, but that's my personal opinion. Now to the condition...she tried to be nice, but unfortunately you could see that she was annoyed by our 3 year old son. She also discreetly told him not to bend the plastic tablecloth. And no, he wasn't running around the bar or being loud..... will we come back???? I don't know yet... In terms of price... we like to pay for good food, but everything else has to be okay too, since that wasn't the case, it was too expensive. Addition....no we weren't there on Friday, we confused her with another family. All the points you list below do not concern us. As a restaurateur, you have to learn how to deal with criticism and not keep writing long explanations. You definitely won't win guests this way. Unfortunately wrong again, a lot of tables were damaged and you had to say that several times. Once was enough and he let it go. How can you even say that? Did you serve us? They totally have the wrong perception of their guests. With such comments you are only harming yourself. You need the guests not the guests you. Because I rated the food with 5 stars, you should have left it as is. But no, they are blaming some guests here who have nothing to do with it at all. Then let's hope that the guests you mean here don't read the comments. It was definitely the last time we were there and we won't recommend it to anyone. Unbelievable arrogance...

The atmosphere was very cozy and the service was very friendly. You felt comfortable in the restaurant. If you want to experience something new in terms of cuisine, this is the right place for you, as you don't have the opportunity to try Georgian specialties everywhere. After my first encounter with Georgian cuisine, I can definitely recommend Khachapuri Lobiani: a delicious flatbread filled with a spicy bean mixture.

We really enjoyed our visit. The food and the atmosphere in the restaurant were great. I can only recommend

If you are very hungry, you should come here. You will definitely be full. The service staff will give you a friendly welcome and introduce you to the slightly different traditional cuisine. We had a good time with good, hearty food

Very nice and courteous service! The food was also very tasty, would happily come again

We had lunch in a larger group. I can speak for 12 people. The food was delicious and I'm already looking forward to the next visit. Staff always very accommodating and friendly. Beautifully renovated and decorated restaurant. It was a great and tasty lunch with the whole family.

We got a voucher from friends, otherwise we wouldn't have known that you could enjoy Georgian cuisine there. The service was very good. The ambience inside could be nicer, I miss the cozy, Georgian one!! The food itself was something different, it was good, but not a highlight. You could perhaps offer mixed plates or platters so that you can try more. The price, I don't think it's cheap. If everything had been perfect, the price would have been justified!!! But, it's worth a visit!!! Very nice hosts!!

The food was fantastic and very authentic. The service was unique and very accommodating. We'd love to come back!

Very attentive service. Very good food. Nice ambience.

Nice selection of dishes. A bit difficult for me as I have never dealt with Georgian food and didn't really know it. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the food, but the dips take a little getting used to. Unfortunately, the ambience is not at all appealing. But I felt comfortable thanks to the great service, very attentive staff - big praise to the entire team.

We were there for dinner with a larger group. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. Vegan and vegetarian Georgian dishes are offered. The menu also includes German classics such as onion roast with fries or spaetzle. :) Payment is possible by card payment.

Very great restaurant, super friendly service. Really delicious food. Definitely worth a visit 💪🏼

Top Service, Top Essen. Ein Stück Georgien zum geniessen. Ich empfehle Khachapuri, Baje und Vorpeisen

Das Restaurant, in dem wir nun mehrmals zu Besuch waren, ist jedem zu Empfehlen. Die georgische Küche bietet eine große Vielfalt an leckeren Georgischen Gerichten, die frisch zubereitet sind und eine hohe Qualität haben. Man merkt, dass alle Gericht mit viel Liebe zubereitet werden und die Portionen sind für den großen Hunger perfekt geeignet. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und empfiehlt für jeden Geschmack ein passendes Gericht. Auch die georgischen Weine sind besonders zu empfehlen! 😋 es gibt eine große Auswahl an Khachapuris (besonders für Käseliebhaber geeignet) und leckere Fleischgerichte. Auch die Vorspeisen muss man unbedingt probieren (vegane Vorspeisen mit viel Gemüse) 🇬🇪. Ich habe das Gericht „Lobio“ probiert (Bild), mit Bohnen und vielen Walnüssen. Sehr lecker! Das Lokal ist sehr gemütlich und herzlich eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sehr wohl.

Gutes Essen und sehr nettes Personal

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt mit sehr freundlichem und aufmerksamen Personal. Das Essen war auf den Punkt zubereitet, die Portionen großzügig. Kommen gerne wieder und können das Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen.

Das Essen schmeckt super! Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal! Gerne wieder!

Das Essen ist einfach köstlich! Die Aromen und Gewürze sind so authentisch und die Gerichte sind wirklich gut zubereitet. Die Atmosphäre ist auch super gemütlich und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, wieder dorthin zu gehen und mehr von ihrer leckeren Küche zu probieren! 😄🍽️ Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen!

Очень очень вкусно. Всем советую посетить этот ресторан. Вино бесподобное.

Das Naturfreundehaus hat ein traumhaftes Essen zu bieten, die verschiedenen traditionellen georgischen Gerichte sind unglaublich lecker und perfekt für den großen Hunger. Es ist für jeden Geschmack etwas leckeres dabei (ob vegetarisch, vegan, käsig oder Fleisch). Von den Khinkali waren wir alle sehr begeistert. Die Vorspeisenplatte wurde mit viel Liebe dekoriert, genauso wie die anderen Speisen. Man schmeckt die sehr frische Küche und die hohe Qualität der Lebensmittel. Der Service und die Bedienung sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. In der warmherzigen Atmosphäre fühlt man sich sehr gut aufgehoben und man verbringt gerne viele Stunden am Tisch. Sogar der Koch ist persönlich an den Tisch gekommen und hat uns einen leckeren georgischen Schnapps angeboten. Wir würden auf jeden Fall nochmal kommen! Es ist nur zur empfehlen!

Es war ein sehr schönes und lecker Erlebnis. Kann ich jedem empfehlen, der nach einer neuen kulinarischen Erfahrung sucht

super Essen und große Portionen, nette Bedienung, sehr gastfreundlich, tolles gemütliches Ambiente 🔥💪🏻💯 wir kommen wieder 🙏🏻😊

Das ist schon etwas ganz Besonderes! Diese Speisen findet man nur hier. Der Service und die Umsichtigkeit der Mitarbeiter ist perfekt. Verbesserungswürdig ist das Timing beim gleichzeitig servieren. Wünschenswert wäre eine Einführung in die Speisen, vor dem Essen und nicht danach. Außerdem hat uns die Qualität bei den Fleischgerichten nicht überzeugt und für unseren Geschmack hat Würze gefehlt, bzw. war nicht gleichmässig vorhanden. Trotzdem ist dieses Lokal eine Empfehlung, wenn nicht sogar ein Geheimtipp.

Zu Gast bei Freunden, Erlebnisrestaurant - die sprichwörtliche Gastfreundschaft der Georgier, wer sie erleben will ist hier richtig. Ein freundlich heller, neu renovierter Gastraum empfängt die Gäste, wenn man durch die Tür durch einen Windfang das Haus betritt. Freundlich wird man begrüßt, es empfiehlt sich, zu reservieren. Wir hatten im Vorfeld unser Kommen angesagt und bereits eine Speisenfolge bestellt von allem ein bisschen. Typisch georgischer Salatteller mit Gurken Tomaten und Walnusssauce dazu die Vorspeisentellermix mit Auberginen und Phkali in 4 verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen - ein Traum! Danach genossen wir die hausgemachten Tsinkali, die Bedienungen erklärte anschaulich wie diese zu genießen sind. Im Hauptgang gab es noch die Mzvadi mit Schwein oder Pute, dazu die bekannten Saucen aus Pflaumen oder Adjaruli, fein scharf. Zum Abschluss wie uns der Koch am Tisch erklärt Khadshapuri imeruli Das berühmte Käsebrot das in den verschiedenen Regionen unterschiedlich zubereitet wird, wahlweise auch als megrulische oder adjarische Variante. Als Abschluss sollte man sich noch einen Tresterschnaps, Tschtscha genannt gönnen. Weintrinker sollten einen 10er in ein Viertel Wein investieren, die georgischen Weine sind es allemal wert, leider sind sie hier bei uns in Deutschland sehr teuer importiert, daher hat das Viertel eben seinen Preis.. Ein Erlebnis in der Gruppe, gerne kommen wir wieder in dieses Haus. Gaumardschoss!!!!!! Zum Wohlsein!!!!

Sehr gute Georgische Küche. Von der Vorspeise bis hin zum Dessert einfach Top. Immer wieder gerne und vielen Dank an den Wirt mit seiner tollen Familie.

Super lecker, sehr freundlicher Service & entspanntes Ambiente. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend!

Muss man einfach mal probieren die georgische Küche. Wir fanden es sehr lecker und werden sicherlich wiederkommen. Super freundliches Personal die einem auch die einzelnen Speisen gezielt erklären was sich dahinter verbirgt.

Guter Service. Sehr freundliches und Kompetentes Personal. Das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker und vor allem der selbst gemachte Kekskuchen von der Mama war himmlisch. Wir kommen auf alle fälle wieder.

Die Speisen sind außergewöhnlich, lecker und so verschieden, dass jeder (auch Veganer und Vegetarier) etwas zum Essen findet. Der Service war freundlich und stets bereit die Gerichte auf der Karte zu erklären. Bis auf die etwas lange Wartezeit war alles perfekt.

Zum ersten Mal hier, aber definitiv nicht das letzte Mal. Wundervolles, zuvorkommendes Personal. Sehr leckere Küche. Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich. Ich empfehle einen Besuch! Впервые здесь, но точно не в последний раз. Замечательный, отзывчивый персонал. Очень вкусная кухня. Атмосфера уютная. Рекомендую к посещению!

Wir waren heute zum Mittagessen in dem Restaurant und sind sehr zufrieden!!! Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker, freundliche Bedienung mit schöne Atmosphäre. Sehr gemütliches Plätzchen drinnen wie draußen.Wartezeit zwischen Gerichten war optimal. Ich empfehle georgische Spezialitäten Khinkali, Khachapuri und mega leckeren hausgemachten Kuchen! Vielen Dank das gelungene Geburtstagsessen! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Sehr freundliche und kompetente Bedienung und Beratung, leckeres Essen, hervorragende georgische Weine und Tschatscha. Ein Herz auch für Vierbeiner! Ein Fleckchen Georgien Mitten im Ländle 🇬🇪👍🏻 Wir kommen gerne wieder! Familie Stricker

Wir kamen nur durch ein unwetter hier her. Vielen Dank auch nochmal für den Taxi Service von der Gartenschau. Tolles Ambiente, tolle Eisbecher, das Personal ist so freundlich. Und die Deko so wunderschön. Wir kommen mal zum Essen zu euch... Danke noch...
