Terrible place with zero respect for customers. We called ahead to ask if they could prepare food for us, and they confirmed that they could. The restaurant is listed as closing at 10 PM, so we arrived at 8:50 PM. When we got there, we were told they wouldn't make anything because the chefs had already left. How does that even make sense? Why say one thing over the phone and then do the complete opposite in person? The staff is unprofessional and rude, and clearly doesn't care about their guests. It honestly feels like no one there wants to work. I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. If you don't want to waste your time and nerves, stay away. read more

Delicious food, lively music and fun atmosphere! If you want an authentic Georgian experience, this is the place!

Armenian and Georgian cuisine are very sparse in the broader South Florida culinary scene. Enter Kavkaz, which is located in a strip mall in North Miami Beach, about 10 minutes south of Aventura Mall. This gem is located in a unique cultural enclave that is different from other areas of Miami-Dade County. My fiancée and I came on a Saturday night and were able to be accommodated without reservations (reservations are highly recommended here-- and you need to call in to make them). This is when most locals seem to gather here to enjoy some great food and live music. We ordered the following dishes: Khinkali Dumplings (Beef Dumplings): these are large dumplings packed with beef and soup. These are not your usual "appetizer" sized dumplings, and are definitely on the thicker serving size. Khachapuri Po-Adjarski: special pie with cheese and egg yolk, mixed table side. Think of this as a Georgian pizza topped with an egg. WOW! Chicken Shkemruli: pan-fried chicken cooked in a creamy/milk-based sauce with plenty of garlic. Kavkaz Cake: thin slices of sponge held together by whipped cream, caramelized condensed milk, meringue, and walnuts. Every dish we had was phenomenal. For anyone dining here for the first time, we'd say the Khinkali Dumplings and any of the Khachapuri choices are must orders! The Kavkaz Cake was also a sweet treat to end our dinner. However, they have plenty of other traditional Georgian and Armenian pastries to order, as well as a variety of proteins on the kebab and an interesting selection of wine by the bottle to order. We were stuffed at the end of this dinner and can't wait to return to Kavkaz! When people say Miami lacks in other "cultural" cuisines, I would encourage them to look outside of the neighborhoods they regularly frequent. Kavkaz and other gems are certainly out there! read more

Extremely disappointed Crazy overpriced for the quality of the food All dishes are cooked separately. Chicken was boiled and then browned, burned and put in the garlic soup. Tasted as it was cooked, not good. Charcho was also cooked separately, meet and soup. Soup was over salted and meet was ok. And for a small cup of soup $15, not even with bread, ridiculous.... Dish appetizer Lobio special $30 that is just CRAZy After all, gratitude was charged automatically and also asked to give tips. Sorry, but cooking should be decent, then you can ask for tips. nothing was wrong with our waiter. Cooking is awful. That is not Georgian cooking at all. Regrets read more

I had been looking forward to trying Kavkaz for awhile, specifically since learning food names in Russian class. I finally had the chance last night since I was in the area for a midweek dinner. Granted I was one of the few patrons there and didn't have the chance. But the "taste" I got yesterday left me wanting to go back on weekends when it seems to be livelier. Kavkaz is at the end of a strip mall right on Biscayne and near Sunny Isles, and has both inside dining as well as terrace dining. The inside space had a nice jazzy background music and a small stages I believe they have live music on weekends. My waiter was attentive and gave me a great description on the dishes. I did leave portions on my plate but did enjoy what I tasted, starting with the natural pressed cranberry juice he suggested. I started with their Kachapuri- cheese bread. At Kavkaz, I'll refer to how a fellow foodie described it. It's a deep dish pie, with a yummy thin crust filled with a gooey warm cheese. Kavkaz' has a nice surprise - a runny egg ("yitzo") that adds flavor to this tasty pie. My other plate was a "Satcivi" Comparable to a cold creamy gazpacho with chicken breast, the plate is well flavored with a walnut base. I didn't have a chance to try dessert, but between that and the live music, I hope to be back. read more

My first visit to this Georgian Armenian restaurant and it was fun exploring this cuisine. Everything was tasty and well prepared and our server was attentive and knowledgeable about each dish. When you go, parking is usually available in spaces out front but all bets are off on Friday and Saturday nights when the entertainment is on. read more

We've been here twice and they do not disappoint. They have a limited bar but do serve whiskey and wine. I did not check to see if they had anything else. The service is good. Culture shock: you're not going to be tended to hand and foot so if that's what you're looking for, this isn't the place for you. The food is superb. We had the khachapuri adjaruli (this is the infamous cheese bread with the egg yolk), chicken kabobs, and the khinkali which is their delicious dumplings in a cream and potato sauce. We paid about 100$ with gratuity included for this meal and 2 drinks. The food left us very full! So hearty and indulgent. On Friday night the indoor dining has a live band appropriate to the culture of the restaurant. It was nice to watch for a bit but It was a bit too loud for conversation so we opted to sit outside. read more

Very tasty khinkali.I recommend. And the atmosphere is gorgeous. the prices are good. It's convenient that there is parking read more

Kind of a mediocre experience. I ordered borscht and khachapuri. The borscht was plain and meatless, in a very small bowl for a price of a good entrée. The khachapuri was okay but also not anything special; very savory. The service was just bad: the server didn't care to answer my mom's questions and was looking very... uninterested in us. They include tips in the bill by default but won't tell you that. read more

I hope everyone gets to try this amazing cheesy bread at least one time in their life. Khachapuri was by far the star of this show. Don't let the raw looking egg intimidate. It gets mixed in and cooks in the hot cheese and adds to the creaminess. Scoop the cheese up in the fluffy bread and you've got a winner. Other than this I had a sampler of spreads, since it was pretty much that or borscht as far as non-salad veggie options for. The dips were pretty good. Nothing mind blowing but I enjoyed. Our server was super nice and very kind and generous, esp. with his wine pours. That said, wow Georgian wine is good. Georgia has a long history of wine making and it showed in the quality white wine we had. I will be back for wine and delicious cheesyness again no doubt. read more

Food was ok. The cheese bread was tasty! The server was ignoring our table the whole evening. Portions are so small. And overpriced, which is fine if there is a life music. You are paying for the Entertaintment as well. But music was life only part of the evening. The singer I think his name was Edik, was just putting on music as a DJ, not so much singing himself. With a long brake time in music performance. I would not go back there! We weren't feeling welcomed at Kavkaz restaurant. the day before my friends and me went to Osh Tea room, which was such a welcoming place with a very tasty food but no music in there. Anyways, I am not recommending Kavkaz - this overpriced, unwelcoming, unfriendly place! read more

Best dining experience while vacationing in Florida! We even went twice in the same week! Everything was delicious!!! From khachapuri to the khngali amazing 5 star service and food. We were lucky to have Vladimir the waiter both times and he went above and beyond to make our time enjoyable. Beautiful atmosphere and decor. Very clean restaurant and "like home"cooked delicacies. Looking forward to our next trip to Florida to visit again. read more

Today was not my first time here. I was in Kavkaz a couple of times before. Nice place, somewhat fancy-looking inside; a few tables outside. The service is always nice. The food is tasty. I heard from some that it is the best Georgian food around. They have live music on the weekends. My concerns are the prices and the portions. First of all, the prices you see here on Yelp are not correct. Add $5-$6 to everything. And the portions for the main courses are appetizer size. I have never seen such a tiny khachapuri in my life and I have been to many Georgian restaurants in Georgia, Russia, New York, and Miami of course. Truly, the portions of everything are small, even drinks (not alcohol) are in small glasses. Compote is only 100 grams? Strange So, the food is tasty, and the service is nice. The place is Not on the beach to charge so much for smaller than usual portions. If you don't mind paying, you will enjoy the food, just order more :) It is on a plaza, so there is parking. read more

We needed a place for lunch and this came highly recommended. Georgian food has been featured in the food magazines for a while, so I was curious. We sat in a booth - a bit uncomfortable with a very deep seat, but it worked. We decided to share a khachapuri (simply put a type of cheese pie) and a chachushuli (a dish of stewed veal or beef). Both were served pooping hot and delicious. The cheese pie was a thin yeasty dough filled with luscious ooey, gooey cheese. I wanted to know what "herb" were in the stew, it, too, was delicious. The meat was fork tender. Service ... we were the only customers. Our server was just fine, she helped us order and was ok. I'd go back. Only thing, rules are changing and no one working there wore masks ... read more

food is great and so is music but service is something to be desired. Waitresses were argumentative and rude

Very good food. Ordered chicken in white sauce, Salad, hachapuri( flat brad with cheese) shush-kabob, some very good dish with beans( do not remember name). And bottle of Mukuzani ( wine) Everything was fresh and delicious. Dissent prices , excellent service. Would highly recommend. read more

Food wise, if you like healthy food forget about it. if you only eat fish, they have 3 options on the menu but good luck ordering 1 you like. They don't have 1 in stock and don't give you a reason. So then your left eating french fries and you decide your still hungry so you order take out from a nearby restaurant since you don't want to be left out of the party, hungry. You think you solved the issue until the waitress yells at you for bringing outside food and threatens to charge you an additional $50 per person for eating it. If they had variety in stock per their menu this wouldn't be an issue. Noise level... Good luck sitting by the stage. Tiny restaurant and loud music don't go together to well. Horrible experience in general. The old people had fun, the meat eaters enjoyed the food. Anyone else.... Find something healthy, friendlier and more professional. For the waiter, turn a blind eye and let people eat unless you have what's advertised on the menu. Just hush hush. read more

We come here when in town because we love the singer on weekend nights. Yana has the most beautiful voice and is a very talented singer/ entertainer. The food was pretty good overall - lamb chops (Devine) fresh salad, Georgian appetizer sampler, dessert were all great. However , the dough on khinkali was too thick to my liking. Also, great selection of Georgian wines here. Fun atmosphere and a great place for birthday celebrations. read more

AMAZING food and not so amazing service. I'm so sad to give it 4 stars - I'd give it 10 stars for food and 2 stars for service. A complimentary bread basket would also be nice. Food: I've been searching for a good khachapuri adjaruli in the Miami area for a few months now and all my previous tries weren't good. The one from Kavkaz is just the best - very authentic. In addition I tried the Kavkaz plate - a mix of 3 kinds of pkhali (spinach, beets and beans) and eggplant rolls. It was also very delicious. My husband tried the chicken kabob with grilled vegetables and a side of mashed potatoes. He said it was the best chicken he had in a while! The grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes were also very tasty. In addition we ordered the bread basket - lavash - it was very hot and delicious. As for drinks, we got Russian beer Baltika 7, Georgian sparkling water and Turkish coffee. Price and ambiance: the prices are reasonable. Our check was only $88 for all the food and drinks. We went for early dinner on Saturday night - when we were leaving around 8pm, the live music started. Service: The service was bad. Noone greeted us initially, the server wasn't friendly at all. She was very slow, we finished food and waited for her for about 20 mins. She forgot that we ordered bread and had to come back and check on it. I'll definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

Never knew Miami had Georgian food until I saw Kavkaz featured on Infatuation Miami. They highlighted the khachapuri (cheesy bread), which looked delish, so I knew I had to try it! Came yesterday with my mans and we shared the aforementioned khachapuri (100/10), khinkali (beef soup dumplings) and a chicken kabob. The khinkali was very yummy and definitely unique (there's no spoon, so you grab it from the bottom and slurp the innards). The chicken kabob was satisfying, but the flavor was lacking (thank Beyonce for the tomato-based dipping sauce it came with). I also tried a Georgian pear lemonade, which was pretty tasty, although I'm not sure I'd order it again for $7. The service was attentive, and while the food took a little bit to come out, everything was extremely fresh. It's located in a strip mall off of Biscayne and 151, so plenty of parking. I'll definitely be returning! read more

First and foremost: if you go at night, THIS IS A RUSSIAN KARAOKE CLUB! As a big black man with locs, it was definitely culture shock but I could appreciate it. The food was AMAZING. It's a vibe but an acquired taste for sure. Very loud music but there's dancing from all ages, I ain't mad at it. Doubt that I'd come here consistently but that's just me. Russian family nightclub karaoke bar with bomb food may be your vibe read more

You come here for the austere Caucasian ambiance that suddenly lifts you away from the tropical reality outdoors. Excellent grilled meets, hot and cold appetizers, and katchapuri, a cheese lover's dream that is shaped like a Turkish pide, but has as much cheese as a whole pot of Swiss fondue. Service, well service is a a caricature of nostalgic Soviet times. Be prepared for welcoming, but somewhat inattentive service. Be proactive and don't let this ruin your experience. Drag the waiter to your table, be loud calling them across the dining room, it's all part of the experience. Oh, and try Georgian wine, it's delicious! read more

Very average food, they didn't have a few things on the menu, overpriced for what it is. The service was actually good even though we were overcharged. Overall a lousy 2 stars. Decor was nice but we were there for the food and were let down.. Skip this place ! read more

Food was excellent Georgian. And I know Georgian well. Highest recommendation for the classics, rolled eggplant in walnut, khinkali (think little burgers in a purse of soup- add pepper to the flat side, take small bite, slurp soup as you eat the meatball.. don't eat the nipple... khachupuri, (think amazing ridiculously good pizza) their signature chopped salad, all were outstanding. The kebabs, known as shashlik, were great. Lamb chops, chicken and pork. So if you need your fix, don't hesitate, at all. Lobio great too! Satsivi a little bland, chicken in walnut sauce. Bring you own vodka, try Zyr, now made in US. The music was loud, so beware, and Russian. Some people danced. Booths are meant to relax, so might prefer a table w chairs if wanting more sturdy, or less of an ab workout during dinner. Service was lovely. Definitely be back for our fix, 40 mins from where we live. Much closer than flying to Moscow or Brighton Beach. And the fries!! World class. read more

The best food I ever had in Miami. The employees were very polite. I really love this place.

Great authentic mediterranian food. All fresh, great flavor! Amazing! Checken salad, lamd Lula Kebab, Khinkali- meat ravioli- all freshly made. Traditional Beef soup- perfect!. It is a Gem on Biscayne, a must for a Foodie. Service was perfect, waitress Lena went out of the to make sure that we feel like a friends home! Strongly recommend!

So much for the famous Georgian hospitality, very disappointing .... In terms of guest service this place felt like McDonalds. I don't expect much but "thank you for coming, have a good night" would be nice to hear when the check was dropped, considering that gratuity is already included. Wasnt even that busy. Delicious food, chicken tabaka didn't feel like an authentic dish, but still tasted really good. Food quality is wonderful, any dish we tasted was definitely worth it. Overall, not sure if we'll be back. Ambiance felt nice, but the service really took us out of the experience. read more
