Mama Manana, Georgian restaurant in Prorizna Street, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Mama Manana is a Georgian restaurant near the Golden Gate in Kyiv, occupying four floors of an early 20th-century building. It has an open kitchen, banquet rooms, and a street-facing terrace.
The building dates from the early 20th century and still has its original arched windows with green-painted frames. The restaurant moved into this structure and added Georgian decorative elements, including metal arches and patterned walls.
Mama Manana brings Georgian food culture to Kyiv through dishes that are central to everyday life in Georgia. Khinkali dumplings and khachapuri bread are the heart of the menu, and ordering them here feels close to eating in Tbilisi.
The restaurant spans several floors, so it is worth taking a moment to get your bearings when you arrive. Those with mobility concerns should check in advance whether all areas are reachable by elevator.
In parts of the interior, old brick has been repurposed as flooring rather than walling, which gives those areas a look closer to an outdoor courtyard than a dining room. This detail is easy to miss but changes how the whole space feels underfoot.
