Kitchen House Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Food ....very good . Very recommend! Nice personal , very talented chief, lady from Georgia.
Great food and wonderful atmosphere. I have been to this restaurant several times and now I am planning on celebrating a birthday there.
I love this place for take out or for dine in. Excellent atmosphere, friendly service.
This is not the first time we eat here every time when we visit Chicago and this place never disappoints. Every item from the menu is very delicious with authentic Georgian (European) flavor. The portions are generous enough. We shared almost everything. But even if you'd have leftovers, they will be good to take home. We will be coming back here during the next visit to Chicago for sure.
! , :) , . ! wonderful place with great service and tasty food! We ordered borscht and khinkali, it was delicious. The restaurant area is nice and cozy. We will definitely come back!
The other day my partner and I were dropping someone off in wheeling (we are EMTs based in Chicago) and we had a break to get food and wanted something that was not fast food and something we cannot get in our neck of the woods. We came upon this place and I was very excited cause I always wanted to try a khachapuri (a famous Georgian bread that has cheese and an egg in the center). The service was amazing, everyone super nice! Place is very clean, including the bathroom (I do judge those kinds of things). I was kinda sad that I was working cause it seems more like a sit down and eat place. I fully intend to come back when I am not working and get a glass of the Georgian wine I have heard so much about with a nice bowl of stew and some more fresh bread.

Authentic Georgian cuisine with a great staff, though be prepared to Google some of what's on the menu as their English is limited. Khacapuri and khinkai are Georgian staples but also don't miss out on the potato pancakes and Shkmeruli (Georgian style chicken).
I've never tried Georgian food before, and I'm glad I stopped by this charming location to sample some of their menu! There is a small patio/sidewalk seating area, but we opted to sit indoors because of the interesting booth and wall decor (and air conditioning!). The khachapuri was very fresh, and the crust was satisfyingly crispy, light, and fluffy. We also had the Georgian soup, and it was delicious as well. Service was friendly and accommodating.
