Chacha - Parnas

Okay Georgian restaurant conveniently situated for tourists and with a reasonable price range. I had decent expectations for this place due to the amount of reviews but I was more disappointed than satisfied. First, the service is very slow. It took them 30 minutes to bring the first food and that was some sauces, without even the bread we ordered. The next dish was served after 40 minutes since the order and that was a vegetable mix that doesn 't even require mixing or anything. Literally a plate with washed vegetables took 40 minutes! Other dishes came within 50 minutes and weren 't even worth the wait. The coffee took 10-15 minutes to be prepared and the water also took 10 minutes when it seemed like there weren 't many guests in the restaurant... There were also many guests who came after us but got served much faster although they ordered the same menu. If the dishes came in 20-30 minutes it would have been great. Otherwise, I 'd recommend getting khinkali (though a bit salty), chashushuli (tender and sweet) and the beetroot pkhali (unique taste with the pomegranate bits). The dolma was pretty salty. The staff wasn 't necessarily friendly but wasn 't rude either.

It may just be what we ordered, but... A true case of expectation vs. reality disappointment. Photo of the corn salad in the menu looks NOTHING like the salad you get (see photos)... where was all the corn? The mushrooms and potatoes were quite oil drenched and very sparse compared to the image in the menu. However, desert was delicious we had the poached pears with ice cream and mulled wine sauce. Again, nothing like the picture was more a sticky vanilla custard than mulled wine sauce but it was tasty! I think what Cha Cha can learn is that if you have pictures in your menu, you should ensure that the food at least resembles it.

Hot piping tasty Georgian cuisine served alongside the beautiful view of the city and the embankment. Classical!! Loved every dish that we ordered. Definitely recommended

Great location, prices are very acceptable and the food is delicious. The place is always crowded due to warm Georgian welcome ; the music can be loud, but service is very friendly. We tried many dishes from the menu and georgian wine everything was super good. Don’t hesitate to ask the waiter about dishes they help a lot.

Tasty food closed to one of the main cathedrals lot Saint Petersburg. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.
