My House Restaurant in Borjomi feels more like a cozy café rather than a full-fledged restaurant. It is located away from tourist routes, so you won’t find crowds of visitors here, which can be a plus for those who prefer a quieter dining experience.

This place is not included in standard tourist itineraries, and guides do not bring groups here, but some acquaintances recommended it as a spot with decent Georgian cuisine.

After visiting, we had mixed impressions: the food is good, but there are some nuances in service and pricing.

What We Liked About My House Restaurant?

✅ Delicious Georgian Cuisine
The main dishes in this café are truly well-prepared and flavorful. Khinkali, main courses, and hot dishes were made with high quality and great taste.

✅ No Crowds or Chaos
Unlike restaurants in the center of Borjomi, this place offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere. You can enjoy your meal without rush, avoiding tourist crowds.

✅ Lower Prices Than in the City Center
While this restaurant isn’t the cheapest option, its prices are lower than in the tourist center, and the food quality is much better than in many popular places.

What Can Be Improved in My House Restaurant?

⚠️ Long Wait for a Waiter
Service here is not the fastest. Waiting for a waiter takes a long time, even when the restaurant is not full. It feels like the staff is working at a relaxed pace, which can be frustrating for guests.

⚠️ Cash-Only Payment
The restaurant does not accept card payments, so be sure to bring cash. This is inconvenient for tourists who are used to cashless transactions.

⚠️ Expensive and Clearly Pre-Made Desserts
Dessert prices are questionable. They are significantly more expensive than the main courses, yet their quality is unimpressive. It feels like they are brought from elsewhere rather than freshly made on-site.

⚠️ Inconsistent Food Quality
Some dishes feel like a lottery – you might get a delicious meal, or you might end up with something average.

⚠️ Prices Are 30% Higher Than Expected
If the prices were at least 30% lower, the restaurant could be easily recommended for a quick meal.

Recommendations for Visitors and Restaurant Owners

💡 If you want to try Georgian cuisine in a calm setting, away from tourist crowds, My House might be a good choice.
💡 Bring cash! This is important because card payments are not accepted here.
💡 Avoid ordering desserts – they are expensive and most likely pre-made.
💡 Be prepared for slow service. If you're short on time, it's better to choose another place.

Recommendations for Restaurant Owners:

⚙️ Speed up staff service. Guests expect waiters to arrive more quickly, especially when the restaurant is not busy.
⚙️ Review the payment policy. Allowing card payments would make the restaurant much more convenient for tourists.
⚙️ Adjust dessert pricing. Right now, the prices do not match the quality, which negatively impacts the overall impression.
⚙️ Reevaluate pricing strategy. If dish prices were reduced by 20–30%, the restaurant would become much more competitive.
