I had a great experience at Cafe Maestro! The shawarma was absolutely amazing—packed with flavor, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I also tried the khinkali, and it tasted really good—authentic and satisfying. The combination of Middle Eastern and Georgian flavors was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. I’ll be coming back to try more from the menu!

Very beautiful and clean place, the interior and the kitchen were impressive, we were served by a very friendly man, named GIgo, but I may have written the name incorrectly, sorry! About the kitchen: large portions, we are delighted with the lamb and chicken kebabs, stuffed mushrooms, soups, shawarma and salads! Everything is very tasty and served very quickly!! A must visit
