Stop in for a quick bite on Sunday before our flight out. Georgian cuisine is just so flavorful and delicious. Great friendly prompt service nice and calm music playing. They were picking up by 6pm customers were streaming in for dinner. We had Xcharcho soup, Khinkali pork and beef and lamb, Chaxokhbili and all were delicious. Would love to come back next time in Toronto.!
I love finding these gems that stand out from the crowd and is happy to serve food in authentic approachable ways. We came on a Friday night and the restaurant was slowly filling up, but they still managed to sit everyone that trickled in during our meal even if it meant pulling a table from the backroom. We ordered the lamb khinkali (traditional Georgian dumpling), the hachapuri adjarsky (boat shaped bread with cheese and soft egg), and the pork shish kebab. To start us off, they brought us some warm bread and butter which was amazing.... but don't get too full because every dish coming after will need space. The dumplings were huge and filled with a delicious soup. The hachapuri was a wonderful cheesy creamy bread chaser. The pork was perfectly grilled with a lovely smokey char and went well with the grilled veggies and bread. I would definitely recommend to try something new and unique.
This is a great place for Georgian food: tasty & generous portions. Service is pretty good too. Kharcho soup was excellent. It had a very strong lamb taste. Regular size was pretty big - enough for 2. The pilaf was huge. It had a lot of lamb, and in big chunks too. It wasn't as flavourful as the soup but was still pretty good - moist & flavourful enough. Fat streaks in the lamb were a nice variation in texture. It went well with the non-spicy tomato sauce. Fried eggplant with sauce was pretty good but a cold dish with a strong taste is not for everyone. It was pretty big. The complimentary pickled cabbage was OK: crisp & sour. The bread rolls weren't good though. Kompot (fruit drink) was OK: quite light. Napoleon (cake) with ice cream & berries was disappointing. The cake was a bit old, so it was no longer flaky, though it was large. The cream between the layers was very nice though. The mango ice cream was ok - it had some ice crystals in parts.
I came to this restaurant a couple of times previously and thought they had decent food. So recently I revisited with a group of friends. The food we ordered turned out to have a downhill sign and the service was bad. We waited a long time for the menu after sitting down. The server thought we already ordered for some reason. They were clearly understaffed! It was also difficult for us to call a server for the cheque. For cold dish, we ordered the spinach, beets, beans and eggplant with walnuts. The beets and spinach were mediocre. Beans were not bad and eggplant had an interesting taste. For curiosity, we also shared the lamb tongue. It was tender and juicy albeit not enough wine to cover the strong flavour of lamb. For main dish, we had two orders of lamb kabab since they ran out of their awesome lamb stew. It was flavourful but they did not use a good part of the lamb. The meat had so much tendon which was tough. The mashed potatoes on the side were dry. We also had a beef short rib dish. I was too full to try it. According to my friend, the flavour was average and it was hard to chew. We had the traditional cheese pastry before which amazed us. So this time we tried the spinach and cheese pastry. It was so disappointing. It did not have much cheesy taste. The ratio of the spinach and cheese was definitely off.
I came here a handful of times with work, friends and finally brought my family here. I would suggest food be brought out to share for everyone, that way you can try the most of different types of dishes. For 5 of us this is what we ordered Food: (5 stars) Kompot: (5 stars) $10 for a pitcher of juice - strawberry and water juice with water. Suliko Salad (5 stars) - $10.95 Cheburek - (5 stars) $5.95 for lamb, $4.95 for beef and pork Hachapuri Adjarsky (5 stars) $16. You should mix the egg with the cheese before eating it. Khinkali - mixed meat (pork and beef) (5 starts) 3 per portion - $6.95 . (5 portions were ordered for 5 people) Mixed grill (5 stars) $40 Honey cake (5 stars) - $11 Satsivi (2 stars) $15.95 - Chicken in walnut sauce. The chicken is served cold. there are some bones in it so it was the least favorite dish from all of us) For 5 of us the bill came to $210 with tax and tip. We ended up having more food than required and took a bunch of it to go. Note: They have specials of meat which look really good, but I did not have a chance to try yet. Atmosphere: (4 stars) One large dinning room, nothing fancy, normal wear and tear on the tables and chairs. Service: (5 stars) Very friendly services, the food we got was shared between everyone, so the waitress came and gave us new plates after the first few courses.
First time to Suliko after the pandemic. Price has gone up with is understandable, but the food tasted better than I remember. We ordered a variety of dishes. The Assorted Phali to start as a cold appetizer, the eggplant, beets, spinach and mashed bean were all seasoned perfectly. We particularly like the chopped beets. The potato kinkali was kind of like a round giant pierogi and the pork/beef ones had juice running inside the dough. The Hachapuri "Suliko" was cheese wrapped inside a philo dough, if you like cheese, this one is for you. The lamb kebab was the weakest dish we had. We ordered it middle rare, but it came basically rare and not particularly flavorful. The service was okay, our young waitress sometimes forgot things or did not understand what we asked for. Since she was from Ukraine, we gave her a pass.
First time trying Georgia restaurant- interesting experience. Most people here seem to come from east Europe, except us. We asked for recommendation and ordered some from each type. We started with a harcho soup for everyone to share, it's pretty good - a traditional and classic choice with beef and rice. It went well with bread too. Appetizer we tried the lamb tongue, its greasier than beef tongue, but creamy texture and very soft. Khinkali with lamb is good too, kind of like bigger version of Chinese soup dumpling. My favorite is the Hachapuri- pizza dough topped with cheese and egg - chewy and tasty - not too big a difference from a pizza though. Lamb stew and mixed grilled kebab are what we ordered to share. Kebab has big portions and we wouldn't really able to finish everything so had a to go box. Overall interesting experience and nice atmosphere - could try!
Suliko is an awesome authentic restaurant serving traditional Georgian cuisine in the GTA. Before we get to the food, I must say that the customer service is top-notch. They were able to accommodate us despite coming to our reservation super early (and despite the super busy atmosphere and multiple parties going on). The restaurant was VERY busy (sign of good food!) and we could tell that all the servers worked super hard and did their best - and it showed. So thank you to all the staff at Suliko for making our very first visit a pleasant one! Now, on to the food. Portion sizes are HUGE (each kachapuri is the size of a small to medium-sized pizza), and they don't skimp on cheese in all of their cheese-containing dishes. Everything we tried - from the appetizer (eggplant roll) and khinkali (dumplings), to the kachapuri and special of the day (grilled sea bass with vegetables) - was excellent. The cottage cheese inside the khinkali was unlike any other cottage cheese I've had before - full of flavour. The kachapuri came piping hot. The sea bass was grilled to perfection, and the fish meat was soft and tender at the same time. Grilled vegetables were nicely charred too. The ambience was casual yet homey, with nice traditional music in the background. The place is very popular with families and medium to large gatherings (there were 2 parties going on that evening). Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Georgian food in the area.
I love Georgian cuisine! I mean who wouldn't love unique dishes filled with walnut, exotic cheeses and pomegranates? Suliko is a Georgian restaraunt with a commitment to quality and authenticity. It is the best know (and in my humble opiolnion) the best Georgian restaraunt in the GTA. The decor is a little rustic with elements of traditional Georgian culture. When it gets warm, you want to sit on the patio for the truly authentic experience. A large wood-fueled BBQ pit (at least I think it's wood) is situated right inside the patio, with the chef grilling up the orders of the day. The smoky smell of grilled meat permeates the air, making you feel like a guest at a Georgian BBQ rather than a restaurant patron. When I go to Suliko, I usually order lamb khinkali (large georgian dumplings) a khachapuri (a variation of cheese bread) and a grilled meat dish. The khinkali are we'll seasoned with just a bit of broth inside to make them extra juicy. They are nothing like the various other types of dumplings you will find in Central Asia. In addition to the meat options, they offer khinkali stuffed with cottage cheese or potatoes so the vegetarian foodies have no excuse to avoid this wonderful dish. The khachapuri is a dish Georgia is best known. At Suliko it comes in a number of variations. It's meant to be shared but I have been known to eat an entire khachapuri on my own. The menu has seven khachapuri variations. I tried two of them so far. Khachapuri Suliko is shaped kind of like an inside out pizza. The dough is fresh, flaky and has a bit of a buttery after-taste. It is absolutely delicious. The Abkhazian Khachapuri is shaped like a boat with egg and cheese in the middle. The consistency of the dough is less flaky and more similar to pizza dough. The idea is to tear off a piece of the bread boat, dip it in the gooey goodness in the middle and enjoy. I prefer Khachapuri Suliko but it's a matter of taste. The various kebobs are usually really good as well, since they are made on an open flame. Suliko has a ton of unique dishes i have yet to try and I will come back with some level of regularity.
It was a sad night as a small group of friends gather to say goodbye to one of our own. She is an icon of Yelp Toronto and with her husband's good work done here, she is being moved back to Southern California. As winter is approaching, what a great escape! Well there goes the sad feelings...now I am left with jealousy! Anyways, what other way to say goodbye than to share a meal with good friends. Though half the group have been to Suliko, the rest of us were in for a treat. The place is listed as a Russian, but most foodies will quickly point out that it is a Georgian restaurant. The veterans of Suliko warned us of possible overeating and food coma. OK...Challenge Accepted! Self-High-Five!!! We ate family style with a bunch of dishes. Stand outs were...basically everything. The food isn't presented in little bits and pieces of muse-bouche, boujie dishes, nor pretentious pageantry. It's just simple food made well. The mix meat grill had basically all the major food groups - yep...vegans cover your eyes - pork, beef, chicken, lamb...I don't think there is any other food group...hmmmm. The one order could feed a small village! Or 6 hungry Yelpers and then some. The meats are cooked on a large bbq under the covered patio and they were delicious. Each protein at the right temperature - that takes talent and practice! In regards to other dishes, mushroom with cheese, mussels with cheese, pastry pizza with cheese...are you getting the picture? Someone said, "everything goes with cheese!"...I guess here it does. Got some grilled veggies and a salad as well. Various soups were ordered too and I think the standout may have been the Borsch. Lastly, can't forget the large and somewhat questionable shaped dumplings that were presented unceremoniously in a large bowl in whatever fashion it landed out of the boiler. I do have to say that sometimes, a little presentation does go a long way - it's my only advice to the establishment. It was a Monday night and the restaurant was slow. The servers were also slow. Service wasn't the best as we needed to keep reminding the server what we needed and we had to ask for the plates to be swapped out. Sometimes one of us would be holding an empty serving dish forever until we could flag someone down. The plates were huge and the table was small. The portions were huge and it contributed to the over-stuffed food coma to follow. Ugh... I had to dine and dash as I had to pick people up after the Maple Leafs game but...it was sad time again. Not only is the small group of friends that met on Yelp going to miss Ms.'Lanie, but the whole Yelp Toronto and GTA community as well. Safe Travels! Cheers!
I drive along Steeles Avenue regularly, commuting from work back home. Some folks would think that I am crazy, as I work in Mississauga and live in Markham. However, do you know how bad highway 401 is during rush hour on a good day? It's horrible! I used to take the 407 to and from work. These days, I enjoy the benefits of backroading. I get to figure out what businesses are on my route. For a while, I have noticed the huge Suliko sign as I drive past it daily. I first thought that it was some sort of wine cellar place (the sign has grapes). I also thought that it was a Japanese restaurant. I was wrong on both counts. For months, my Yelp friend, Colanie, and I have been meaning to get together. We both seemed like friendly people who weren't creepy, so why not?! She recently moved to this neighbourhood and suggested Suliko. I looked at each photo on Yelp and I got incredibly hungry looking at amazing Georgian food. My salivating at home was not a pretty sight! We met a couple of Mondays ago for dinner. Parking was pretty good at 6:30 pm. I parked and walked in. Colanie was wonderful to have made a reservation. We had a booth. I sat. About five minutes later, she had arrived. The menu had so much that we wanted. We ordered the following: - Bread rolls, with plum, spicy, sweet, and buttery options, and pickled cabbage - Small bowl of borscht (me) - Chahohbili, which is chicken stew, with tomatoes, garlic, and a bunch of herbs - Hachapuri adjaraky (boat-shaped bread, with cheese and a half-cooked egg) - Honey cake with cherry ice cream and fresh fruit - Khinkali (dumplings) with beef and pork The starter bread rolls were warm, fresh, and soft. We had wonderful sauces and butter to spread on them. They were all so good and so different. We both weren't into pickled cabbage, but it was okay. I ordered a small bowl of borscht. It is huge for a small size. It was so good. The beets and carrots were julienne-cut. It was incredibly flavourful and comforting. Colanie passed, as beets weren't her jam. Next to corn and green beans, I love beets. Beets are particularly yummy in soups. I got to try some of Colanie's chicken stew. It tasted homemade, and was both fragrant and delicious. The chicken was tender. You barely needed to chew. We had a wonderful server who explained everything to us. We had to get the hachapuri adjaraky, which is one of the restaurant's signature dishes. It is essentially boat-shaped bread, with cheese and a half-cooked egg on top. Our server explained that we needed to break the yolk and stir everything up. My friend did the honours and we tore this dish up. It was delightful. It wasn't heavy. The cheese provided the salt. The egg with the bread made everything taste heavenly. I highly recommend ordering it. All portions here are generous. I am so glad that we split everything. Otherwise, we would have had difficulty waddling out of the restaurant. For dessert, we relied once again on our server to provide suggestions. She recommended the honey cake. We got cherry ice cream . It also came with fresh fruit. Wow, you must get this dessert! Tell your stomach that it must make room to fit this cake in. It was tasty and soft. The layers looked amazing. The fresh fruit complemented the cake well. The cherry ice cream was not homemade, but you got chunks of cherries in it. Delicious! Colanie got a hot chocolate before she had to leave. It smelled good. She liked it. I got the khinkali (dumplings) to go. I ordered the ones with beef and pork. They smelled so good as I drove home with them in my car. I couldn't resist and I ate one of them when I got home. It was still warm. It was scrumptious and huge. It does have black pepper. If you don't enjoy it, you may want to pass on the khinkali. I ate the other two khinkali for lunch the following day. If you love dumplings like I do, get the khinkali and indulge. The restaurant serves amazing food. We had a wonderful time chatting and eating. Delightful foodie company always makes yummy food even more enjoyable. I am definitely coming back. Portions are huge, so bring your empty stomach here. (183)
This is my first experience with Georgian food and it's amazing! Everything is so special and delicious, and the size of the dishes are gigantic Assorted phali - beets with walnut - assorted eggplant rolls with walnut - spinach with walnut - red beans with walnut A gigantic appetizer dish. Each item tastes quite simple, just the fresh ingredient with some oil. However, by adding the delicious table sauces to them can completely transforms them. Khinkali (traditional Georgian dumplings) pork and beef: tastes like a chinese soup dumpling but it's gigan. Hachapuri ispanahi (round yeast dough pie filled with cheese with extra cheese on top): The texture and flavour of this dough is not like anything I expected or can imagine or describe. It's so fluffy and soft with a very distinct and delicious flavour. Lamb Shish Kebab: Big and delicious. We usually prefer medium rare but had it cooked medium as recommended and found it to be a bit too tough. I would suggest cooking it at your regular preferenc
When coming in it was a full house, they brought us to a table that was unlike any of the other tables they had. Its one of those backyard lawn chair tables and they covered it with a cloth and gave two foldable chairs. (the other chairs they had were not like this). We were seated right beside the fire extinguisher, it was located directly above my friend's head. And also right beside the doorway (luckily it wasn't cold outside). The menu i wish it had pictures, i had to refer to yelp to know what the items were. Some did not explain what was in it. We got two items that seemed to be the most popular and it was incredibly salty. Most of the food consisted of cheese and bread. The decor is beautiful, It's an okay restaurant i would try it again sometime if i'm in the area.

Came here due to high review. Never have this type of food. So lets try it out! Surprisingly busy on weekday dinner, but at least there's no line up. A lot of beatiful European-looking clienteles (and we are the only non-European one). lol. Upon sitting: Free bread and pickled spicy beets/cabbage are provided, along with 4 different types of sauces. We ordered: 1.khinkali (dumpling beef and pork). 3 HUGE pieces of dumpling. Theres broth inside the dumpling. Taste yummy and homey 2. Goergian bread with chese and runny eggs in the middle. best to eat while it's warm. the bread feels fluffy. cheese is not heavy as i thought. 3. (medium-grilled) baby lamb rack comes with side dishes & bread. tender. 'homey' taste (not overpowering like typical food in restaurant). 4. walnut cake comes with vanilla ice cream. cake doesnt feel condesed/heavy like typical cake! and definitely great mix with ice cream. Overall, food taste 'homey', which is good/different experience. But didnt feel compatible with high-price (receipt with food name&price are attached for reference). We will not be back as there's nth really memorable/oustanding flavor-wise..(except for the great service!) With same spending, we feel it's more worthed to spend in different restaurant. But if you never try and looking for yours-truly-experience, go ahead. After all, whats not too great for me might be hidden gem for you. Cheers! read more

Excellent service. Tasty menu for those who know Georgian kitchen or just love shish kebabs and everything that comes with them. There was an excellent birthday celebration. It was done tastefully - music, dimed lights, whole restaurant participated. Good for 2-16 people groups. read more

I came here a handful of times with work, friends and finally brought my family here. I would suggest food be brought out to share for everyone, that way you can try the most of different types of dishes. For 5 of us this is what we ordered Food: (5 stars) Kompot: (5 stars) $10 for a pitcher of juice - strawberry and water juice with water. Suliko Salad (5 stars) - $10.95 Cheburek - (5 stars) $5.95 for lamb, $4.95 for beef and pork Hachapuri Adjarsky (5 stars) $16. You should mix the egg with the cheese before eating it. Khinkali - mixed meat (pork and beef) (5 starts) 3 per portion - $6.95 . (5 portions were ordered for 5 people) Mixed grill (5 stars) $40 Honey cake (5 stars) - $11 Satsivi (2 stars) $15.95 - Chicken in walnut sauce. The chicken is served cold. there are some bones in it so it was the least favorite dish from all of us) For 5 of us the bill came to $210 with tax and tip. We ended up having more food than required and took a bunch of it to go. Note: They have specials of meat which look really good, but I did not have a chance to try yet. Atmosphere: (4 stars) One large dinning room, nothing fancy, normal wear and tear on the tables and chairs. Service: (5 stars) Very friendly services, the food we got was shared between everyone, so the waitress came and gave us new plates after the first few courses. read more

It was a sad night as a small group of friends gather to say goodbye to one of our own. She is an icon of Yelp Toronto and with her husband's good work done here, she is being moved back to Southern California. As winter is approaching, what a great escape!

I first thought that it was some sort of wine cellar place (the sign has grapes). I also thought that it was a Japanese restaurant. I was wrong on both counts. For months, my Yelp friend, Colanie, and I have been meaning to get together. We both seemed like friendly people who weren't creepy, so why not?! She recently moved to this neighbourhood and suggested Suliko. I looked at each photo on Yelp and I got incredibly hungry looking at amazing Georgian food. My salivating at home was not a pretty sight! We met a couple of Mondays ago for dinner. Parking was pretty good at 6:30 pm. I parked and walked in. Colanie was wonderful to have made a reservation. We had a booth. I sat. About five minutes later, she had arrived. The menu had so much that we wanted. We ordered the following: - Bread rolls, with plum, spicy, sweet, and buttery options, and pickled cabbage - Small bowl of borscht (me) - Chahohbili, which is chicken stew, with tomatoes, garlic, and a bunch of herbs - Hachapuri adjaraky (boat-shaped bread, with cheese and a half-cooked egg) - Honey cake with cherry ice cream and fresh fruit - Khinkali (dumplings) with beef and pork The starter bread rolls were warm, fresh, and soft. We had wonderful sauces and butter to spread on them. They were all so good and so different. We both weren't into pickled cabbage, but it was okay. I ordered a small bowl of borscht. It is huge for a small size. It was so good. The beets and carrots were julienne-cut. It was incredibly flavourful and comforting. Colanie passed, as beets weren't her jam. Next to corn and green beans, I love beets. Beets are particularly yummy in soups. I got to try some of Colanie's chicken stew. It tasted homemade, and was both fragrant and delicious. The chicken was tender. You barely needed to chew. We had a wonderful server who explained everything to us. We had to get the hachapuri adjaraky, which is one of the restaurant's signature dishes. It is essentially boat-shaped bread, with cheese and a half-cooked egg on top. Our server explained that we needed to break the yolk and stir everything up. My friend did the honours and we tore this dish up. It was delightful. It wasn't heavy. The cheese provided the salt. The egg with the bread made everything taste heavenly. I highly recommend ordering it. All portions here are generous. I am so glad that we split everything. Otherwise, we would have had difficulty waddling out of the restaurant. For dessert, we relied once again on our server to provide suggestions. She recommended the honey cake. We got cherry ice cream . It also came with fresh fruit. Wow, you must get this dessert! Tell your stomach that it must make room to fit this cake in. It was tasty and soft. The layers looked amazing. The fresh fruit complemented the cake well. The cherry ice cream was not homemade, but you got chunks of cherries in it. Delicious! Colanie got a hot chocolate before she had to leave. It smelled good. She liked it. I got the khinkali (dumplings) to go. I ordered the ones with beef and pork. They smelled so good as I drove home with them in my car. I couldn't resist and I ate one of them when I got home. It was still warm. It was scrumptious and huge. It does have black pepper. If you don't enjoy it, you may want to pass on the khinkali. I ate the other two khinkali for lunch the following day. If you love dumplings like I do, get the khinkali and indulge. The restaurant serves amazing food. We had a wonderful time chatting and eating. Delightful foodie company always makes yummy food even more enjoyable. I am definitely coming back. Portions are huge, so bring your empty stomach here. (183) read more
This is my first experience with Georgian food and it's amazing! Everything is so special and delicious, and the size of the dishes are gigantic Assorted phali - beets with walnut - assorted eggplant rolls with walnut - spinach with walnut - red beans with walnut A gigantic appetizer dish. Each item tastes quite simple, just the fresh ingredient with some oil. However, by adding the delicious table sauces to them can completely transforms them. Khinkali (traditional Georgian dumplings) pork and beef: tastes like a chinese soup dumpling but it's gigan. Hachapuri ispanahi (round yeast dough pie filled with cheese with extra cheese on top): The texture and flavour of this dough is not like anything I expected or can imagine or describe. It's so fluffy and soft with a very distinct and delicious flavour. Lamb Shish Kebab: Big and delicious. We usually prefer medium rare but had it cooked medium as recommended and found it to be a bit too tough. I would suggest cooking it at your regular preferenc read more
When coming in it was a full house, they brought us to a table that was unlike any of the other tables they had. Its one of those backyard lawn chair tables and they covered it with a cloth and gave two foldable chairs. (the other chairs they had were not like this). We were seated right beside the fire extinguisher, it was located directly above my friend's head. And also right beside the doorway (luckily it wasn't cold outside). The menu i wish it had pictures, i had to refer to yelp to know what the items were. Some did not explain what was in it. We got two items that seemed to be the most popular and it was incredibly salty. Most of the food consisted of cheese and bread. The decor is beautiful, It's an okay restaurant i would try it again sometime if i'm in the area. read more
We were invited to Suliko by my Georgian/Russian client who claims it's the best Georgian restaurant in town. Anyway, the food was very good and it wasn't as spicy as I was afraid it will be. I had harcho soup (good), and we shared satsivi (good), adjabsandali (excellent!), mushrooms with cheese (ok), chachapuri (good), baked trout (excellent!), and chahokbili (ok). We finished with sweets that were excellent. I would love to come back to this place but has to reduce one star because of the loud music that made it impossible to talk and the service that wasn't super friendly read more

I wanted to love this place from the amazing reviews on Yelp (which led us here). And all of the food we ate was tasty, thats for sure, but the service and our final experience left much to be desired. We weren't too sure what to order as we have never been to a Georgian restaurant before. The server was friendly enough but there was a bit of a language barrier, which is not a huge deal. To start off, we ordered the suliko salad, borscht soup, suliko hachapuri, and pork stuffed cheburek, thinking we would order mains in a little while after we got our apps. We also ordered a Georgian organic wine and a beer as well. Fresh tiny bread rolls accompanied by a trio of tasty hot sauces, butter, and some pickled cauliflower came to the table quickly - all delicious! The borscht soup came next which was very hearty, warming and tasty. I liked that they served the sour cream on the side instead of already in the hot bowl. The pork cheburek was yummy, sort of like a giant empanada type pastry but with a thinner crust with ground meat inside - yum! The suliko hachapuri was stuffed to the brim with a mild melty cheese in a thin puff pastry like shell, totally delish! Since we enjoyed our starters, we wanted to order a main but then the place got very busy very quickly. Full of people who seemed to be regulars, all conversing in what I can only assume was Georgian. Side note, I always think this is a positive when peeps from the particular region dine in a culturally specific restaurant as I deem them to be experts on their cuisine. Our waitress all but forgot about us and only came back to quickly check on us once, when we asked about our salad, which finally came as an afterthought at what turned out to be the end of our meal. We were pretty full by that point anyway and just asked for the check as it didn't seem we would be able to order anything else due to the fact that the place was packed and there were only two servers. The BF loved their hot sauce and asked for a bit of extra to go with our leftovers. When the bill arrived, we discovered were were charged an extra $4 for two tiny containers of hot sauce. Majah bummah. I would have just paid and never returned but for my bae, it was the principal of the matter and asked for them to remove the fee from the bill so we would leave the sauce. We waited an awkward 15 minutes for the server to come over to remove the charge. The BF also realized they charged slightly more than advertised on the menu for his beer as well. The end experience really ruined the evening and made me a pretty sad. So all in all, the food is delicious, hence two stars. The service is a bit forgetful and beware of cray extra charges that are just not cool. I would not return here. read more

Pretty solid place in the neighbourhood! I honestly would've never taken a second glance at this place, considering I pass it all the time and didn't even know it's a restaurant. The restaurant itself is a little small, but cozy. Definitely something that's very 'family-oriented'! Our group of beautiful yelpers took up half the restaurant, but it didn't seem over-crowded at all. The menu is pretty big, with a variety of hot appies, cold appies, desserts, entrees and omg, there was SO much.. was I dreaming? Of course, yelpers being yelpers, we all pretty much ended up over-ordering and dying with a fully tummy of carbs and meat at the end. The portions of the food though.. damn, they were on another level. My stomach literally felt like it had expanded in the course of one meal. The soup was delicious and tasty. For only $2.95, it pretty much filled me and create the sad realization in my mind that it was only the first dish of many to come... I got the chicken soup (don't remember the name) and it had chunks of SUPER tender chicken in it with rice.. so good! I'll go back JUST for the soup. Another thing.. those dumplings are no dumplings.. THEY'RE DAMN MONSTERS, if you ask me. The size of my fist for each soup dumpling? Am I dreaming here? *insert lame 'in soviet-russia, the dumplings eat you' joke* A lot of the other dishes were also good. The meat is tender and clearly well cooked. Some dishes probably had an extra helping of salt too.. CARBS AND MEAT. CARBS AND MEAT. CARBS AND MEAT. That's pretty much the only thing you need to know about this restaurant. There's probably those reading this out there that are now bursting to tell everyone that they're vegan, or oh-so-gluten 'sensitive' *rolls eyes*.. yeah, this place ain't for you. However, if you're looking for a massive cheat day and you're in the area, go nuts! I'd say definitely give this place a try.. especially YorkU students that are hungry from being york'ed. Great place to get away for awhile! ;) read more

Suliko Restaurant serves authentic Georgian food. For some one that never have this cuisine, it definitely worth a try. Carbs+Meat+Huge Portion Khinakli, Georgian Dumplings definitely instagram worthy for its size. Suck out the meat juice during your first bite. Khinakli is supposed to be eaten with bare hands and the top, where the pleats meet, is tough, and is not supposed to be eaten. I found that it was super filling but lacking much seasoning. Crepes "Suliko" was well seasoned and a little roll of deep fried happiness Special of the Day: Lamb Shank ($9.90) was tender but in a soupy tomato broth. Not much flavour and seasoning is missing in action. I tried a few other items which were all OK aside from the Kebab which I found it overcook and dry. Khachapuri Ajarski ($10.55) was comforting when eaten fresh from the oven with load of cheese on bread but best for sharing. Georgian Food is simple and rustic and Suliko delivers. So if you want to experience Georgian Food, you won't be disappointed. read more

Yelped this place while in the area today on a Saturday afternoon. We wanted to try a new type of cuisine for lunch and decided on Suliko. The smell of barbeque meat greeted us from the parking lot. We noticed as we entered the restaurant, the decor was really cosy. Ordered the beef & pork dumplings (3pcs) and the meat platter. To me, the food tasted like plain meat tossed on the grill with no marinade or seasoning. I had to rely on the 3 types of hot sauce which were provided to add flavour. $65 later... I'll have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. The food smelled better than it tasted. Maybe they forgot to add salt??? read more
A hidden gem in a very quiet plaza. The good food, service and potion size warrants a solid 4 stars. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes. Food: Ordered the khinkali (georgian dumplings) with pork and beef which were large dumplings with juicy well seasoned fillings. The dumpling skin was thin with a generous sized filling that gave it a nice texture. Perfect appetizer to start. Crepes sulliko was a great choice as well. I liked it plain without the sauce so that I could fully appreciate the ground beef filling. Crepes was wrapped like a large spring roll. Lamb shish kabob was delicious. The mashed potato side dish complimented it well. The creamy mash paired with the very meaty lamb kabob was a great combo. I ordered medium for kabob and it came to perfection. Tender and delicious. Don't get fooled that it's 1 kabob, portions are generous. The naan that came with it was fluffy and soft. Service: Although busy, the food came out quickly and they were attentive. However, I would have liked it more if they would provide refills of water, sauce and sharp knives with the kabobs without us asking all the time. read more

This restaurant is such a hidden gem. Super authentic food, and the entire restaurant ambiance is really authentic too. I recommend sitting on the outdoor patio tables if the weather is in your favour. The Hachapuri Adjarsky is a must-have. It's a boat-shaped break with melted cheese and a half-cooked egg cracked on top of it. Super flavours, cheesy, and delicious. The lamb stew, Chanahi, was also very good. Great for people who love lamb because the flavour is definitely really strong. read more

Came here as my first visit to a Georgian restaurant in the GTA and had a very pleasurable time. We arrived to a welcoming ambience and a clean setting. The borscht soup was flavourful and refreshing, but I enjoyed the harcho soup even more -- the walnut and herb flavours were a delight! The Georgian dumplings looked like the Shanghainese dumplings that I'm used to -- instead of chopsticks, I used a knife and fork. I'm not sure if I ate it correctly...anyway, the beef/pork and lamb dumplings were yummy. The chicken Shish kebab was soo flavourful and not dry at all. The chanahi (lamb stew) was served with a lot of meat, though it was presented in a fairly small bowl. For $15.95, it seemed to be priced high for a seemingly small portion, but the meat provided is worthy enough. As if we weren't full enough, we ordered the walnut cake and Napoleon cake. Both weren't overly sweet, so the accompanying ice cream was a perfect complement. I really liked the Napoleon for its delicate pastry flakes and its creamy center. Would definitely go back again! read more

The birthday girl's fiancé recommended this restaurant for the celebration. It's my first time trying out Russian cuisine. My husband and I ordered 1) Chanahi, a Georgian style lamb stew with potato, tomato, eggplant and herbs served in crock pot, 2) Khinkall with Pork and Beef, Dumplings with Pork and Beef Chanahi tastes gamey to me but I am not a fan of lambs, so my comments could not be justified. Khinkall with Pork and Beef came in three. They are huge. read more

What a lovely, quiet place to have a nice dinner. I had never given Georgian cuisine a thought before this. We literally stumbled upon this place while walking the neighborhood. It's a large restaurants, the serving staff was extremely polite and knew everything about the food bring served. They made recommendations and told us what the flavors would be like. Most patrons seemed regulars and as first timers were had most questions which were duly answered. The walls are airbed with a lot of traditional at and artifacts are across the restaurant. They have a grill and seating discreet outside, were preferred to sit in though. Our order was Eggplant roll Chicken soup Spinach and cheese pastry If you are a vegan or vegetarian there are enough options for that as well. The food had a different flavor although bordering towards Mediterranean, the way it was cooked and the string flavors left a pleasant memory. read more
