Chaihona - Kiev

Middle East cuisine. The restaurant is centrally located. It is either a family place or for a spicy romantic date. Scattered tables and spots to sit and eat. Colorful interior design, sometime you feel it is too much, however that's the style here. Food is good, but not really impressive. Service has to improve. Definitely waiters has to keep an eye on customers especially in hiden spots and tables. Waiters spent to much time facing the bar rather. Kitchen has to rethink course delivery and do it properly, so the appetizers and main course come at different time, not all in once.

The place itself is really beautiful. Ome really elaborate fonishes, so its worth gping for a visit : Service was however extremely slow and the tea we got tasted really bad...nice to go to if you wanna kill half an hour but don't take anything fancy, just a plain coke or 7up is probably safer.

Food is great, that's true. Design is bright and eye-catching . The overall impression is ruined by unprofessional waiters who are well trained only in total ignorance of the visitors. It took us 30 minutes to catch at least a single waiter. A lot of staff wandering around with unclear function...

Atmosphere very nice, but they have very lacky service. Waiters are untrained and unprofessional and don't know how to serve the customers. They keep forgetting to bring plates and cutlery for the food. It take them 10 minutes to bring our drinks and the restaurant was not busy at all. We ordered the Big Plate Meat for 5-7 people. Food was not warm but almost cold and the meat was very dry. It had no taste or any flavor smell. The only thing what was warm enough and little tasty it was the potatoes. The service and the food does not match the classic atmosphere of the restaurant. Not recommended!

Beautiful interieur. very cozy. good selection of tees (which is something to pay attention to a place with this thema. large, long menu. that's a plus and a minus. service was good the last two visits, but service is where this place is the weakest. sometimes you have to wait a long time. if they order starters/appearants and main course, they can be served simultaneously. are they aware of when they order! (this is particularly annoying when the main course is hot and the appetizer is cold, so that they end up dessert with the appetizer.
