Came for a quick breakfast and enjoyed it on their balcony. I ordered the Jordan starter plate and it was enough for my husband to split with two freshly squeezed orange juices. The family running the restaurant is really nice and the ambience is really serene. Definitely recommend for breakfast - they’re one of the only places open early!

Amazing place. Totally recommended! Very beautiful small restaurant with romantic and cozy atmosphere. Food was really nice and especially the San Sebastián cheesecake. Located at old Tbilisi.

We had the most wonderful Valentine’s dinner at this charming spot. The interior was incredibly cozy, creating the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The highlight of the night was a special movie night event, complete with a curated menu that perfectly complemented the film. Every dish was crafted to perfection, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. A truly memorable night that we’ll cherish!

Cute little restaurant! Very good coffee. Food was good. As is the norm in Tbilisi, you will wait 20 minutes for your food, but the weather is good, and you are sitting on a quiet balcony, so enjoy!

I had a great experience! The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout my visit. I ordered the tiramisu and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting — definitely a place worth coming back to.

It was an amazing experience visiting as well as hosting my photography exhibition at Nilo. Loved interacting and working closely with Nino, and her staff. I love this place for its : - Location - Perfectly located in the heart of old town. Meander your way through art shops and charming lanes till you conveniently find your way to Nilo. - Ambiance - I attended two events at Nilo, and can vouch that its customers (who frequent very often) appreciate the entire package of experiences that Nilo has to offer. - Vibe - Nilo definitely has a very unique vibe. Be it a quite brunch on the terrace of attending one of its wide range of local and international themed events, Nilo is a great place to settled in or live it up, depending on your mood. - Food and Drinks - I sampled the drinks and food, and can vouch that not only is it Insta worthy, it also taste delicious. - Soul - In working so closely with Nino and her team, I felt their sense of pride in creating and running something beautiful and unique. I am glad to have had a chance to experience the magic of this place, even behind the scenes, and am sure you will love it as much as I do.

Loved coming here during my week in Tbilisi. Food is homely and fresh, the coconut pancake things in the tropical plate are delicious. It’s nice to sit on the aivani/verandah/balcony—even on a hot day it is shaded and breezy. The chef is so sweet—she even gave me her recipe for lemon and red basil soda—such a treat for me as I am mostly sober.
