Little Georgia is closed for a summer holiday. We will be back in September. Reservations are available from 6th of September.

Georgia is a country of traditions, and perhaps the most important tradition is food. At Little Georgia, we are carrying on this tradition to offer delicious homemade dishes to our guests.

Our Islington restaurant has a retro décor, featuring Soviet-era artefacts and posters and is the ideal destination to enjoy authentic Georgian cuisine in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

At Little Georgia, all our food is freshly prepared using the best locally – sourced ingredients to create a truly authentic taste of Georgia.

All the staff were very friendly and treated us like part of the family, although they were slightly slow to notice when we were ready to order. The food was great, especially the khachapuri and the honey and walnut cake. But the best part of the night was the Georgian band who provided wonderful music from their table in the corner. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I loved seeing the staff joining in with the singing from behind the bar.

Little Georgia has a great, "vintage" ambiance with old Georgian music playing in the background really adding to the atmosphere. There was a nice selection of Georgian wines, I thoroughly enjoyed the bottle of white that the waitress suggested. As for food, having never tried Georgian cuisine before I was very impressed! We'll be back again soon :)

The decor and spacing of tables is good. The staff were most welcoming. However, the restaurant was full and service was slow. It seems the place is short-staffed. We asked for bread with our drinks but it only arrived simultaneously with our main courses. The place was very noisy including music and celebrations for someone's birthday. The food was mixed. The pork kebab was really overcooked and somewhat tasteless. On the other hand the salmon dish was excellent. It's reasonably good value overall.

Little Georgia is a jewel in a rather characterless area. The traditional menu is limited, actually much better than a varied uninspiring one. Dependable and delicious. The staff helpful and charming. Could all this be why the restaurant is packed every night of the week?

We had a lovely date night. We went midweek (Tuesday). The restaurant was fairly full but didn't feel hectic. The ambience was cosy and calm and the service was great - attentive but not in an overbearing way. The food was sumptious and the wine - also Georgian - was gorgeous. I can't fault the experience at all. Would absolutely recommend and return.

Good genuine Georgian food that brought back memories from our time living in East Europe. Had our favourite wine even though not on the wine list. Taking of which the only moan from an oldie is having to use your phone to see the menu although the waiter lent us his phone!!

Georgian food is traditionally shared between diners, if I correctly understood what the waiter told us. My friend, for example, ordered dumplings and that is what she got: a plate of dumplings. I had poussin; it came with potatoes and salad. So, do ask the waiter exactly what you will be getting when ordered. The food, otherwise, is very nice.

Great as usual. The starters took a while to arrive and we were starting to get itchy, but all was forgiven once they did arrive. The main followed quite quickly (actually could've used a little bit of a wait between the two). My main request to the restaurant is to bring back paper menus. The menu does not yield itself well to mobile phone format and the experience seems jarring when set in the restaurant ambiance.
