I have visited Oro twice and it is one of my two favourite restaurants from my trip to Georgia. Both the Lobito and the special beef were amazing. Very good qvevri wine by the glass too.

Excellent food and staff! Very professional and attentive waiters. The food is served in a beautiful and delicate way, and is authentic megrelian cuisine.

We came here for our last meal in Georgia for shaqmeeuli (chicken garlic) and it was fantastic. There were outdoor seating area but people were smoking so we dined indoors. Very nice.

This is a must-go when in Tiflis! We had the Crispy Mushroom (an absolute 10/10) and the chicken in Baje- perfectly soft and tender from the inside, and cross skin. And you have to try the blackberry compot lemonade! And the Date Pudding with caramel sauce

This place has been recommended to me. It serves traditional Georgian cuisine with a little touch of “Je-ne-sais-quoi” that makes it modern and delicious. The red bean salad served warm was slightly spicy but was just so flavourful, I really liked it. The “Bajé”? (Sorry for my bad spelling), is like a tahini/hummus but made of walnut. It was good but it didn’t come with any bread so I didn’t really eat it on its own. As for the star of the dish, I tried the Shqmeruli which is grilled chicken mijoté in a creamy garlic sauce. The taste was phenomenal but maybe it was a little bit too heavy in this season (Summer). Very nice restaurant and very friendly staff, I’m glad I went there. The prices are very reasonable.

Had a fantastic meal here, our server Luka was able to help us understand the menu and make recommendations. The restaurant is classy, clean, large and open. It's a very nice vibe to sit outside as well. Absolutely recommend the blackberry compote, kebabs, and the beef soup. I'm sure everything on the menu is delicious though. We'll be back again!
