Great food! This was our first foray into Georgian food. The waitress was very nice and gave us an intro of what to eat and how to eat it (the soup dumplings are eaten in a certain way). The mushroom soup dumplings were amazing. We also tried the herring and potatoes which were good (tasted like smoked salmon). We liked the beef kebabs, the portions were generous and the meat was tender. Glad we shared. We'll be back soon to try some more dishes! read more

Delicious Georgian food. The restaurant is charming. I love the eggplant rolls and the bread dish with mixing egg, cheese and butter in the middle. read more

Sami Sumeli Restaurant - Delicious Georgian Adjarian Khachapuri, Eggplant Rolls (3 pc) and Pork/Beef Khinkali (3" pc) - Modern European Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Wow it is a really healthy food and nice environment, highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience really healthy and delicious food.

I was really looking forward to trying this place especially since I was born in Georgia and recently went back to visit. Sadly was just disappointing, was not authentic Georgian at all. The pkhali onions were very thickly cut and the peta bread looked like it was store bought. The Khinkali though is what really made me sad, they were lukewarm with no flavor to the meat or soup, I had to ask for sour cream to be able to eat them meat also felt very tough. The prices are super high, probably won't be back which is definitely sad cause I was hoping for authentic Georgian cuisine restaurant that I could frequent once a month. At least service and atmosphere were solid and very enjoyable. read more

So happy we stopped in to check out the first Georgian restaurant in the Austin metro area. The vibe was pretty quiet since it just opened but it meant that we got all our food super fast. Our server greeted us and gave us great wine recommendations. They serve all Georgian wine but our server was able to point us to what type of wine we typically like and everyone enjoyed the recommendation. We then ordered apps and mains. Everyone's favorite dish was the Khachapuri which is a basically a giant cheesy bread boat. The beef dumplings (khinkali) was a close second. Along with the food they also help demonstrate how to eat it for those that have never had before which was helpful. Great for a date night or dinner with a group. No kid menu but our toddler was totally fine with kebab and pita! read more

Absolutely fantastic food. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was calm and clean. But the fooooood.......the food is AMAZING. The eggplant appetizer, the Georgian salad- i would return everyday for these two things alone. I should've taken more pictures, but I ate it like a pig. Highly recommend. read more

Underwhelming, overpriced, small portions with nothing that stands out. I wouldn't consider going here again... read more

Wonderful food and amazing service. Authentic Georgian cuisine. This is a wonderful local restaurant.

Really great. So fresh, tasty and accommodating to our work group. If you like Greek, Turkish cuisine you will love it. Highly recommend.

If I could rate this higher I would!! Impeccable service by an attentive staff that wants you to have a great experience. And the food... by far the best I've had in years. Start with appetizers: the Kharcho is a must and is absolutely delicious! And the Adjarian Khachapuri (bread boat with cheese and egg) is a delight and worth every calorie!! Go for the Khinkali (dumpling) and make sure they teach you how to eat it by hand the Georgian way (hold by the "stem" and bite the bottom part, sucking out the liquid before devouring the beef or mushroom inside). If you still have room for mains the Shashlik is a must and is a full meal in and of itself. The Georgia is known for its wine and an ample glass is a must and pairs nicely with your selections! This will be a go-to for our family!! read more

Excellent food. All homemade. Amazing family service business. Fabulous appetizers and desserts. read more

Absolutely delicious, great server, great experience in a casual environment. We went for a nice romantic dinner and we'll be back. I recommend trying a few things on the menu. Our server was great with answering questions about the menu. We also had the wine flights which are Georgian wines and super interesting. It's a hidden gem. read more

This was our first time visiting the restaurant, heck it was our first time trying Georgian food. We didn't recognize most of the items on the menu but that didn't deter us from ordering a little of everything. Our server was friendly and helped us with our selections. Everything arrived quickly and was so, so fresh! The flavors were new and delicious! We can't wait to return to work our way through the rest of the menu! read more

I've never had Georgian food before coming here but I was very pleasantly surprised, and I'll definitely be back. I had the cheese bread, the dumplings and a kebab, and everything was amazing, lots of unique flavors that I haven't tried before and the cheese bread was like the most tasty calzone you ever had. read more

WOW what a treat to have such a wonderful local taste of Russia in my back yard. I love everything about this place. The menu is awesome. All of the food is very fresh and priced very fairly and reasonably. The service is great and they worked very hard to ensure we were taken care of. The restaurant is decorated in a somewhat European ambiance. I wish I could point to one dish in particular but no way. All the food was excellent and proudly served. read more

I was excited to go here. The blini were tiny and came with a disproportionate amount of caviar that we weren't going to eat with nothing other than a big soup spoon. The khinkali were store bought 100% and not homemade. The service was fine. Drinks, terrible. We were really looking forward to coming here. We ordered 2 drinks total, 4 khinkali and an appetizer. We spent $88. Outrageous prices, disappointing food and a place I won't be coming back to. I DON'T RECOMMEND. read more

Holy Smokes, Sami Sumeli is off the charts! We had everything from apps, entrees, dumplings, desserts, and drinks! Every single thing was fantastic! The herring/potato app and the cheesy bread were delicious and like nothing I've ever had before...but I think my favorite dish was the mushroom dumplings! Good Night!!! It's like a soup dumpling and a thick french onion soup had a delicious love-child!!!! Our server Elisa was outstanding and had great recommendations. This place is an absolute must!!! read more

Incredible place! Stop scrolling through reviews, save yourself some time and just head on over there to give it a try. We had Phali Mix, Krarcho soup, khachapuri, and mushroom khinkali while sipping on some Georgian cold red wine. Truly a unique place and a great change of pace to all the TexMex and BBQ around us. Growing up in Ukraine I had a few khachapuris in my days but this one was unique - tasted almost like a croissant: flaky, buttery and soft. You eat it with your hands, picking at the bread and dipping it into cheese and egg yolk. It's basically a fondue without all the equipment and stale bread. The only thing that I'd say is some of the meals are garlicky, so unless you're planning on kissing anyone go ahead! Can't wait to come back and order shashlik. read more

Excellent food and service. The dining room was extremely nice and clean. We had the beef kebab, and chicken stew with tomatoes and they were all delicious. Eggplant rolls and beet salad were really good too! read more

Food is delicious, and we really enjoyed trying different Georgian specialties. Loved the khinkali and the khachapuri.

The food and service were amazing. I couldn't stop eating even after filling my stomach. I grabbed my monthly lunch with a friend here. With so many new restaurants popping up it's rare we visit anywhere twice; however, we both agreed we will have to come back to Sami Sumeli. Have a cocktail, order numerous items, and enjoy yourselves. Can't say enough good things about our experience. read more

Amazing restaurant! We came as a large group of seven, and the service was absolutely excellent -- everything arrived on time, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Special thanks to our waitress Elena -- she was very attentive and kind! We accidentally left some personal items, and she helped us send them back through Uber Delivery. That's a rare level of care! Huge thanks to the entire staff and the restaurant -- definitely a well-deserved 5 stars! read more

great ambiance, drinks were great, service was incredible. friendly staff and completey recommend!

The food and atmosphere were so good that I didn't even think about taking out the phone and take the picture! lol We took 4 different dishes but the star was the khachapuri. omg it was just delicious. The drinks were amazing as well, especially the homemade lemonade. The service was great, our waiter was very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was very homey. We had a great time! read more

Amazing food and super informative waiter! We learned so much about Georgian culture and traditions.

I'd never had Georgian food and I loved it. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Nice and quiet place for dinner. Highly recommended!

Amazing service and food. Can't wait to go back. The dessert with the prunes ( you can't even tell there are prunes) was excellent. I thought about it all night. read more

Look, I'm not a yelp reviewer, but this was some of the best food I've ever had. The staff were super courteous, very patient, explained every meal and the meals are so much better than the pictures look which is saying something! I would highly recommend going. First time eating Georgian food and I will definitely be back. read more

Wow! Everything was great! The food was delicious, and the service was great! I am so happy we have it here in Cedar Park! I would recommend it to anyone! read more

As someone who worked in many kitchens, I can appreciate a tender chicken. Although I've never cooked Georgian food, I found the garlic sauce bland. As a recommendation would be sautéing the garlic with some butter to release its aromatic flavor into the sauce and a touch of salt and it'd be perfect! The service was Exemplary! Server: checked on food, beverages, cutlery and satisfaction! This restaurant had an amazing ambiance, from cultural music to 4k scenery videos of the country gave it a good vibe! Overall, I would come back to try the other dishes! Thank you Sami Sumeli Restaurant for serving me this evening! read more

Four of us had a delightful lunch at Sami Sumeli. Two of us were vegan. We were pleased to be offered a vegan menu, which turned out to be a page with sections for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes. One of the specials was vegan. I can particularly recommend the Khinkali dumplings. We also enjoyed a side of buckwheat which is something you won't find in very many restaurants. We vegans also had the vegan daily special that included some of the pickled vegetables, all of them good, especially the red cabbage. One of the non-vegans had a bowl of borsch, another daily special, which he described as excellent. One of us had a wine flight, and offered the rest of us tastes. Two of the wines were quite sweet, one was very good, and one was complex and interesting. Another of our party ordered horseradish infused vodka, which was not a hit but was at least novel. All in all a quite enjoyable experience, well worth repeating and worth the drive to Cedar Park. read more
