  The food is delicious and the prices good, but the vibe baby! The most Peaceful and lovely atmosphere, I am unsure how to explain it, but you walk in and feel at rest. The staff/owners are consistent and so genuine, I absolutely love this place. So check your issues at the door...come inside or sit outside, and enjoy the food and rest in the air.

  Unfortunately, Diplomat turned out to be quite a disappointment. It’s the only Georgian restaurant in downtown Chicago, so I’ve given it a few tries. While a few dishes were acceptable, others were barely edible. Overall, it’s probably the worst Georgian restaurant I’ve ever visited.

  Love this weird restaurant. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff here and enjoyed basically all of it. They have a bunch of stuff that involves this really nutty spread which is unique and fun to try. The dumplings are great, that bread with cheese thing is a blast, and the stews are killer too.

  A HIDDEN GEM!! This was some of the best food I have EVER eaten. The spices and flavors were amazing. Our waiter led us very proudly through the menu and provided an excellent experience. The food and wine were works of art. (btw, The pictures others have provided are great.) I am surprised this place wasn't packed. My favorites were the cheese bread with egg yolk, and the soup of the day. I definitely want to go back and try more of the options.

  I had an amazing experience at this Georgian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which really helped in choosing dishes. The food itself was outstanding—authentic flavors, beautifully presented, and full of rich, hearty taste that Georgian cuisine is known for. The khachapuri was perfectly baked with gooey, delicious cheese, and the khinkali dumplings were some of the best I’ve ever had. Every dish felt fresh, homemade, and prepared with care. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and authenticity you get. It’s a wonderful spot for both a casual dinner and a special night out. Overall, I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience true Georgian hospitality and cuisine. I’ll definitely be coming back!
