Not a traditional looking place; in fact, with its big windows and mezzanine floor, it's quite a modern setting, but there's a relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It was pretty near full when we were there, which is a good sign for sure, and it's well set out, so there's no feeling of being crowded. The food was very good (we had a main course only) and the portions were adequate, with the meat being served in a separate dish so you could regulate your intake of sauce/gravy/juice to go with your rice (potatoes or vegetables as options). Howerver, the menu would be better, I think, if there were some veg side dishes offered in adition to rice or potatoes (instead of being alternative). Nevertheless, my partner was very kindly offered a combination of potatoes and veg, which was a nice concession. We had a bottle of Georgian wine (Kindzmarauli red; a Besini wine - look it up) and that was excellent, albeit sweeter than the 'halbtrocken' suggested. Would certainly go back, given the opportunity and an excuse.

So there's something for everyone. The Slick spears (very delicate and juicy at the same time) are particularly praiseworthy, which are refined with kartomes, baptisms, seasoned and as a special ingredient granate seed. they can be sure that what comes on the table is also really freshly prepared. that is what I find personally when I want to eat in a restaurant. as the name marani already says (georgian: weinkeller) they will meet here a generous selection of harvested weeps (usually Georgian weeps). So who wants to try something new and is a real noble is a visit to the maranie of me personally put into the heart.
