Suliko Restaurant

This is a great place to have a meal with friends.
This is a place where the food is good the service is great but it is not a fancy place. The food is fresh and expertly prepared. It is served immediately from the kitchen and tastes like «your mom made it», for those familiar with Russian and Georgian cuisine. We didn’t have any wine (or checked if they serve) but it will be a great addition if they had.
The salads are wonderful and so are the traditional Georgian dishes. Next time I’m in Toronto I will visit again.

Was really hard for me to decide on 3 or 4 stars, the Review is very simple.
Service and the place are solid.
Nice patio in the summer.
Food:
Everything that is baked is VERY GOOD!
Their soups and Plov (rice with meat) are solid.
Meat and Fish dishes are REALLY bad, sometimes they come out cold, sometimes overcooked or under cooked.
I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE BUT ORDER ONLY BAKED GOODS (HACHAPURI, MANTY and so on).

I came here based on the great reviews on Unilocal.I have never had Georgian food before. I was mostly interested in trying the hachapuri (georgian pizza shaped like a boat with an egg on top). It is the coolest thing I have ever seen on Unilocal.
So we got here on an afternoon to have some lunch. The restaurant just opened but there was already a party inside! The servers are really nice and really cute: o. Lol. Anyway, we wanted to get a hachapuri and some khinkali (georgian dumplings). There were no pictures on the menu, but even the photos on Unilocal were hard to distinguish the sizing and portion of food. Let me say upon arrival of our food I was shocked by how generous the portions were! The Khinkali dumplings each of them were like the size of a small person’s fist. And the hachapuri was the size of a small pizza. Very filling indeed, even when sharing with a friend. We both loved the food. The khinkali pork and beef had some interesting spices… tasted very beefy and rich. I needed to cleanse the palate with some of their tangy dipping sauces from time to time. Their sauces are really tasty btw. They come as a complimentary appetizer with some hot buns on the side.
The food was so memorable! I would love to come back to try some other Georgian dishes. I think though, the place could use some natural lighting, it is very dim inside.

I ordered the much recommended hachapuri and 2 orders of khinkali (dumplings). I gotta say the flavours of Georgian cuisine is quite unique. These dishes seemed to be made to order because it took quite some time to receive. It may have been more than half an hour.
My favorite would be the hachapuri. It makes me think of having pizza but the cheese is distinctly salty and they roll up the boat edges with cheese so the crust is a delight to eat. I wish there were 2 eggs. It definitely balanced the saltiness of the cheese (feta?). It seemed like there were 2 layers of cheese: the crusty top and a layer of soft chese below.
The khinkali reminds me of Chinese dumplings but the flavours are truly very different from what I’m used to. It was creamy and dark. Each serving contained 3 dumplings which doesn’t seem like a lot but it really is like its own meal. It definitely needed something to cut the heaviness.
While waiting for the food, we got complimentary appetizers: bread, pickled cabbage and an array of sauces (tomato, Georgian, spicy). The sauces and the pickled cabbage all have tastes I am not familiar with. I ate it all because the food was taking so long to come. The pickled cabbage I did not like so much.
All in all, the service was good, the food was filling and I was satisfied.

This is a Georgian restaurant (the country not the state!). They have an interesting décor, resembling a garden/​vineyard by the Black Sea. The pre-​meal bread came with four dipping sauce. I got the lamb chop pilaf and suliko (same as their name). The lamb chop pilaf was seasoned very well and the meat fell off the bones easily. The suliko reminded me of a deep fried spring roll and it came with plum sauce. The service waa medicore but the food made up for it!

Awesome !!! This place is really great, warm and welcoming. Staff is super helpful. Food is super tasty. You could have a very nice dinner/​lunch with your family or a celebration. I love this place.

A wonderful ethnic restaurant with an emphasis on traditional Georgian cuisine. We had a small tasting menu which consisted of a beef and herb soup, lamb dumplings, liver and onions, and a signature Georgian baked cheese bread called khachipuri. The best Eastern European meal I’ve ever had outside someone’s home. Everything was fresh, flavourful and truly felt homemade. Definitely an undercover treasure.

I got into this restaurant not knowing a thing and only based on the Unilocal reviews that I said what the heck.
First I thought that this is a Greek restaurant as the name suliko is Greek but apparently the restaurant is Georgian and I guess they bought the restaurant as is so they didn’t change the name.
I was there for lunch so I looked at the board with today’s specials and for 10 dollars you can have soup salad and main which is a great deal in my opinion .
I went for the other item which was a lamb shank, the shank was great, falling off the bone and very tasty.
Service wasn’t great but it’s sort of the kind of service you expect from a Georgian restaurant .
All in all, I will go there again especially in the summer when patio is open.

After my visit to Toronto, I couldn’t forget about this restaurant. I was so sad to leave it behind me. I wish to go back just to order something else off their menu! Suliko is a georgian unisex name meaning «soul». I guess they wanted to describe their food as being the window to our souls based on my very own interpretation. ;) I should have asked the owners to confirm ahaha
The Location: Around 30 minutes north of the Toronto downtown core. It’s located around the suburb of Vaughn. The restaurant is very spacious and can sit around 50 – 75 people at once. The atmosphere is super friendly & joyful. Tables are very comfortable and the interior décor has an eastern European feel.
They offer traditional Georgian meats, fish, dumplings & desserts.
The food: We had many different varieties of food off their menu.
All I can say is it was FANTASTIC! I had the beet salad, the eggplant rolls for appetizers. Yumm yumm yumm. There was 3 fried eggplant sliced rolls. Garnished with fresh Walnuts, garlic, parsley, dill, &cilantro. The eggplant didn’t even taste too oily. They tasted really delicious. It felt as if they were baked. I didn’t taste the oil at all. The only little thing that bugged me was the amount of garlic they topped it. It overpowered the authentic flavor of the eggplant which is the star of the dish. As for my main course, I had their baked trout. Again it was topped with so much garlic that I really had to scrape off the excess garlic off the fish to taste the actual fish flavors. Either way the fish was baked to perfection. It was so tender and succulent. It melted in my mouth. It came with vegetable and herbs on top. It tasted really awesome. I can’t give this place a 5 star, although I wish I could if I were just to rate my meal and my offered service. My friends complained about their meals and were not happy so therefore I have to rate it according to their experience as a whole. My friend had the «sashlik iz svininie» which is Pork shish kebab with potatoes. She really loved their potatoes, however the actual pork was very dry and hard. She said they were overcooked.
The service:
For me, the service was 5 STARS!!! They had all my food prepared quickly and delivered it within minutes. However, my friends had their food prepared longer and served later then me. I guess it is not right because they should serve everyone meal at the same time as everybody else. The really cute waiter forgot to bring the «chanaxi» for my friend. It’s a Georgian style lamb stew with potato, tomato and herbs, served in crock pot. The waiter said he didn’t hear him order it and we forgave him. He was really good looking! He had really cute eyes, huge biceps and was just gorgeous overall. Can I get your number ;) hahaha oh well.
Either way, he felt really bad for forgetting the chanaxi and they managed to prepare it super quick. We had it within the next 5 minutes served to us warm and cooked to perfection.
Overall, I loved this restaurant. it made me feel like I’m at home even though I am not Georgian. It had a European feel that my mommy cooked for me when I was in Russia.
I miss home and want to go back to it after tasting it here at Suliko !! Soul food absolute Soul food!!! I recommend this place 100%.

It’s my first time experience in a Georgian restaurant and I’m not familiar with Georgian cuisine in general.
That being said, it was a nice overall experience! If you go into a place and it’s pretty full, it’s a good indicator of what you might expect. Lucky for us we got the last available table when we walked in.
Food: We got bread and a few dipping sauces with some kind of pickled cabbage on the house as a starter. I always enjoy when we get those small things. Leaves a good impression (5)
We ordered «Kavkaz» salad, eggplants, and mushrooms and cheese as appetizers. Cheese and mushrooms wins, but the salad was close second (4.5)
Mains: 2 dishes of lamb and chicken kabob plus 6 Georgian dumplings were enough to feed 4 people. Lamb kabob felt a bit dry and over cooked. I’ve had better for sure. Chicken on the other hand was really tasty! Dumplings were pretty big, but felt they could have been boiled just a bit longer. (4)
We didn’t get to deserts cause we were already pretty full
Ambience: Decent decoration, not too loud. Nothing too fancy though.
Service: Our waiter was polite enough. However, there was a bit of a language barrier. He was trying to explain things from the menu, but not sure he understood everything we asked since we were all new to this kind of food. Food was delivered fast enough, but sometimes we had to wait a bit until the waiter showed up (3.5)
Overal: considering we paid $ 105 for 4 people plus drinks, I’d say it’s a great value for your money. I’d definitely go back if I get the chance.

Love the ambiance ! Nice European atmosphere. Good food… Kavkaz salad was delicious (pretty much a Greek Salad with spicy beef jerky). I wouldn’t say it was spicy so don’t be afraid!
The Lamb Stew (Georgian style) was very tasty but I would suggest for them to render the fat first off the lamb before they put it in the crock pot. There was a bit of fat on each piece and some a bit too much fat. Overall though it was a good dish.
The Chicken shish kabobs were tasty… They are thighs and I prefer white meat. But, still, tasted good. The roasted potatoes with it were really nicely seasoned.
DESSERT TIME: We ordered coffee/​tea and the «HOME MADE» apple strudel with ice cream which we were given vanilla as one of the options. Well, the waiter came back to tell us they are out of vanilla ice cream so we ordered mango. NOW, correct me if I am wrong but shouldn’t a HOME MADE apple strudel be served warm when you serve it with ice cream??? I THINK YES!!! FOR SURE! Well, in this place, they serve the strudel cold. WHAT!!! YES…
When I asked the waiter why its not heated, he said they made it last night in a big tray. That was my answer. That was that. lol

This place is not Russian food, it is Georgian. And may I add, very traditional. We had the Khinkali’s which are essentially massive meat dumplings, along with lamb kebob. The food quality was amazing! Service amazing! and we brought our own wine for a small corking fee with a large group. I must also add, if you are willing to try new things, this is the place to go! Also, try the ‘Ajarski Hacha-​Puri’ as dessert. You’re in for a treat when you go to Suliko.

Tasty and fresh food. Service is excellent. I would recommend to go if you never tried Georgian food before.
It’s wonderful to sit on the patio and have the chef grill the food right before your eyes.
The portions are quite large, so I would recommend sharing one cheburek/​hachapuri between two people. Same goes with salads.
The mussels were ok. It’s not something I would order again.
The sauces are to die for! Just like my granma’s.

I’ve never been to a Georgian restaurant before, but I gotta say that it was a great first impression of their cuisine.
Khinkali w/​Beef, Hachapuri Adjarsky, & Lamb Kebab (4.5÷5): For anyone who has ever had xiaolongbao or AKA soup dumpling, the khinkali is VERY similar. It’s about the size of a fist, served up fresh, and the soup just pours out the second you bite into it. It’s definitely flavored differently from how the Chinese do it however my flavor palette isn’t very large, so you’ll just have to come here and try them. I guarantee you’ll like them if you enjoy xlb :) Now the Hachapuri Adjarsky is a beautiful creation. It’s a boat shaped pastry piled and stuffed with different kinds of cheese (at least 2 types) and is topped with a sunny side up egg. The outside is crisp, while the cheesy top and inside stretches as you tear away a piece. Kinda of like pizza? But twice if not 3 time the cheese. It’s was great to dip in the egg yolk and VERY filling. This is a large dish that I recommend you share with others. Lastly the lamb kebab. I came in the summer so they popped these right on the barbecue which they have on their outside patio. It’s exactly like a Turkish kebab! Well seasoned, has a little bit of kick to it and best of all, juicy. It’s a great portion size as well, you won’t be disappointed.
Cost (⁴⁄₅): $ 6 for 3 fist sized georgian dumplings, $ 8 for just a lamb shish kebab, and $ 9 for the hachapuri. It’s decently priced for what you get. I have no complaints.
Service (3.5÷5): I admit, they were alittle slow bringing out the mains. We waited around 20 – 30 minutes, so it’s definitely not fast food. The table service was mehh seeing as we had to ask twice for a new pitcher of water. However, they brought out the appetizers quickly which tides you over to the mains along with good table conversation.
Ambiance (3.5÷5): Our group sat on the patio, and it was a beautiful day. However with the barbecue and wind blowing in our direction is a bit much having all the smoke in your face. So just a warning in case you want to sit on the patio next time. I’ve never been inside, but will definitely return :)

Came to Suliko last night with a large group for a birthday party, and was thoroughly impressed.
When we arrived, we ordered some appetizers for the table and some drinks. If you haven’t yet tried Hachipuri, a famous Georgian cheese-​filled bread with a cracked egg in the middle, then you basically haven’t lived. WOW! Totally delicious. I will however advise that you don’t eat the whole thing, as it could be quite filling. Salads were equally delicious.
I ordered the Chicken kebab, with a side order of veggies and fries. I like the fact that their cook took advantage of the nice weather and barbecued the meat right outside on the patio… Gave off the impression of being truly at home in my own backyard.
The meat was succulent, very juicy and plump. Absolutely no complaints. The veggies were hot, right off the grill. The fries, however, were still kind of raw, and not crispy. If I go back to Suliko, I will definitely ask my waiter to have my fries cooked longer (or just simply not order them at all).
Overall, very impressed by this restaurant. like some other reviewers have stated, it truly IS a hidden gem– right off the beaten path. They have a decent patio for hot summer days, and the décor is very warm and inviting. Kudos!

I wanted to love this place from the amazing reviews on Unilocal (which led us here). And all of the food we ate was tasty, thats for sure, but the service and our final experience left much to be desired.
We weren’t too sure what to order as we have never been to a Georgian restaurant before. The server was friendly enough but there was a bit of a language barrier, which is not a huge deal. To start off, we ordered the suliko salad, borscht soup, suliko hachapuri, and pork stuffed cheburek, thinking we would order mains in a little while after we got our apps. We also ordered a Georgian organic wine and a beer as well.
Fresh tiny bread rolls accompanied by a trio of tasty hot sauces, butter, and some pickled cauliflower came to the table quickly — all delicious! The borscht soup came next which was very hearty, warming and tasty. I liked that they served the sour cream on the side instead of already in the hot bowl. The pork cheburek was yummy, sort of like a giant empanada type pastry but with a thinner crust with ground meat inside — yum! The suliko hachapuri was stuffed to the brim with a mild melty cheese in a thin puff pastry like shell, totally delish!
Since we enjoyed our starters, we wanted to order a main but then the place got very busy very quickly. Full of people who seemed to be regulars, all conversing in what I can only assume was Georgian. Side note, I always think this is a positive when peeps from the particular region dine in a culturally specific restaurant as I deem them to be experts on their cuisine. Our waitress all but forgot about us and only came back to quickly check on us once, when we asked about our salad, which finally came as an afterthought at what turned out to be the end of our meal.
We were pretty full by that point anyway and just asked for the check as it didn’t seem we would be able to order anything else due to the fact that the place was packed and there were only two servers. The BF loved their hot sauce and asked for a bit of extra to go with our leftovers.
When the bill arrived, we discovered were were charged an extra $ 4 for two tiny containers of hot sauce. Majah bummah. I would have just paid and never returned but for my bae, it was the principal of the matter and asked for them to remove the fee from the bill so we would leave the sauce. We waited an awkward 15 minutes for the server to come over to remove the charge. The BF also realized they charged slightly more than advertised on the menu for his beer as well. The end experience really ruined the evening and made me a pretty sad.
So all in all, the food is delicious, hence two stars. The service is a bit forgetful and beware of cray extra charges that are just not cool. I would not return here.

The place has a very casual feel to it so don’t feel bad if you show up in jeans and a T shirt. This is not one of the fancy Russian restaurants/​banquet halls in North York.
The food is really good! Great selection of grilled meats and salads to choose from. Loved the kebobs. The service was very attentive and friendly. Bring your appetite!

Found a heart warming gem. I am so happy to see georgian/​russian type restaurants opening up, with generally very little representation from that side of the world in Toronto otherwise.
⁵⁄₅ The place is very clean, easy to find, and decorated in a very true expression of what Georgian culture is all about. the servers and very friendly, attentive, and happy to help.
⁵⁄₅ In terms of food, I had the following (no I am not a pig, but wanted to taste everything): Hachapuri «Suliko», Chicken Shish Kebab,“Suliko” Salad,“Olivie” Salad, Khinkali with beef, Khinkali with pork and beef, Chicken Shish Kebab. I also had a glass of semi sweet Georgian wine.
The selection of what I order was limited by my «diet» so I did’nt try the pork kebab and other hachapuri, but if I did, I am confident that I would not be disappointed.
The food was authentic, came quite fast, very fresh, and delicious. The wine I would recommend to everyone, very good.
⁵⁄₅ on price. I can’t believe that all of the above was $ 45, fed myself and my gf, with lots of leftovers brought as takeout as well.
⁵⁄₅ on consistency, as a few of my trips yielded very similar findings, as did my friends’.
So what can I say, I am sold on this place.

This place is awesome! I love Georgian food and this is definitely the place to try it. I have yet to sit down and have a meal there, but whenever I take food out, I am always satisfied.
We always order hachipuri, which is basically a cheese-​filled doughy piece of heaven. We get the suliko kind usually, but they have different kinds. It’s a bit oily, but delicious. We also got hinkalis today, which are special Georgian dumplings made of various types of meat depending on your taste. They add their amazing spices! Some of my family members don’t like cilantro, so they actually make some without it as per our request. However, I highly recommend getting them in their original form.
This place also makes really good chebureks and salads. They have someone in the patio making meat skewers out on the grill just like they do in Georgia. So basically when you drive up, you already get an amazing aroma!
This is an awesome place! I really want to finally sit down and have a meal there sometime soon! They apparently also serve authentic Georgian wines.

Came here for lunch on a work day. The inside is nice, kind of like a family style restaurant for sure. Tried the mixed grill shish kebab with pork, chicken, lamb and lula. I thought everything was a bit dry besides the chicken. I’ve definitely had better. They have the grill outside and smelled really good. Nice patio area to sit. Tried these traditional Georgian dumplings, which looked like giant Chinese soup dumplings which were interesting. Found the skin too thick and too little meat. Also tried the Hachapuri pastries which are Georgian puff pastry filled with cheese. It was delicious and very good but really filling, I couldn’t have too much of it.
Overall the food is good but the service was chaotic at first and the waitresses were confused and confused us. Seems like they were not very organized.
