Fell in love the moment I walked in this place. Very cheap, good quality of food, soup are amazing. Staff is friendly. I would love to go there more if they were open during weekends.
Their soup with khachapuri is always delicious - you can choose from about 4 different flavours each day. The place is always crowded and it is a bit hard to sit comfortably there, but it is definitely worth the great soup.
Great place with tasteful soups. After a couple of days in Prague, I was missing something liquid in the stomach and I found this place which I enjoyed very much. After using Google Translate to see what to eat, I saw that they speak english well. The prices are right and we enjoyed a big and small portion of Borsh with beef and a Georgian chachapuri with some 150 czk. Below a picture of the menu from that day and the beef borsh Unfortunately I discovered the place on the last day. If you come to Bucharest, you have to try a similar place called Ciorbarie.
An interesting concept. Looks like a non fancy place. Most likely as a street food kind of place. Many people take the opportunity to have soup. Everyone can find their favorite meal. This week I went there three times. Each time I eat a different soup: a beef Borst - which was quite ok. The soup was lacking a taste, although there is an option to add salt, pepper etc. The second day, I ordered a creamy pea soup. Again, it wasn't creamy and it didn't have a deep soupy taste. The peas were mixed to a kind of rough texture. Which was interesting. Today, I got my favorite mushroom soup, which was supposed to be creamy. The mushroom was grinded rough. It didn't see any cream. The taste was good. I am going back in 14 days, can't wait to see what else they will cook. Many people come and go. So, I think that the problem with taste is my issue:D
I visit here once per month when I am visiting Karlín. And my go to here is Large Tomato soup with Khachapouri with spinach or with cheese. Usually this is enough to fill me up. The service here is good and quick so it is suitable to get a quick lunch. And lot of people are visiting this solo.
The tomato soup is rich and delicious. The chacapuri is a delight that enriched the experience.
My colleague recommended this place, she goes there for almost every lunch, and it was not disappointing! We had really good soups, apparently they are freshly made. And the spinach cheese bread is better than pizza The seating area is small but nice. Highly recommend!
