The Best Ukrainian-Georgian Cuisine Restaurant in Spain - Tandur Restaurant in Valencia
Ukrainian and Georgian cuisines are two culinary worlds, each rich in history, traditions and distinctive flavors. At first glance, they appear to have little in common. But look more closely, and a remarkable similarity emerges: both cuisines are built on respect for natural ingredients, handcraft work, recipes passed down from generation to generation, and genuine hospitality that needs no explanation. Tandur restaurant in Valencia has brought these two worlds together under one roof – and the result has exceeded all expectations.
Restaurant address: Valencia, C/ del Pare Tomas de Montanana, 22. Here, in the heart of the Spanish city of Valencia, lives the authentic cuisine of two peoples, prepared with respect for every recipe and for every guest who crosses the threshold of the establishment.
Why Tandur is much more than just a restaurant
Many restaurants call themselves authentic, but few truly live up to that definition. At Tandur, authenticity is not a marketing slogan – it is daily work. The restaurant’s chefs follow original recipes, choose fresh ingredients that arrive every day, and pay special attention to the artistic presentation of dishes. Every plate that leaves the kitchen is the result of effort, knowledge and genuine love of the craft.
The cozy atmosphere of the restaurant creates the feeling that you have not come to a food establishment, but to visit friends. Warm light, a carefully selected interior, unobtrusive music and staff who are genuinely glad to see every guest – all of this adds up to an experience that you want to repeat again and again.

Ukrainian cuisine in Spain – a rarity worth trying
Finding genuine Ukrainian cuisine in Spain is not easy. Most establishments, if they offer anything similar, limit themselves to simplified adaptations that lack the depth and warmth that distinguish real homemade Ukrainian food. At Tandur, this question was approached in a fundamentally different way. Every dish in the Ukrainian section of the menu is prepared according to classic recipes, using fresh ingredients and techniques that have existed in Ukrainian culinary tradition for centuries.
Ukrainian borscht – the soul of Ukrainian cuisine
Borscht at Tandur is not simply a soup. It is a living embodiment of Ukrainian culinary identity. A thick, rich broth, young beetroot, cabbage, carrot, tomato and meat – all components selected in the right proportions and prepared with attention to detail. Served with pampushky – soft rolls with garlic butter, without which a genuine borscht is unthinkable. This dish is equally good at any time of year: it warms in winter and nourishes in summer.
Handmade varenyky
Varenyky at Tandur are made by hand every day without exception. The dough – thin, elastic, prepared strictly to recipe. The filling – generous and varied: potato with fried onion, meat, cottage cheese, cherry. Varenyky are served with sour cream or melted butter depending on the chosen filling. The artistic presentation of dishes turns even such a simple dish as varenyky into something special – worthy of both a festive table and an everyday dinner.
Meat dishes of the Ukrainian tradition
In addition to classic first courses and dumplings, the Ukrainian section of the menu includes hearty meat dishes prepared with attention to detail. Pork, beef and poultry are cooked according to traditional recipes, with herbs and spices that give them that unmistakable taste of homemade Ukrainian cooking. This is food that truly satisfies – both physically and spiritually.
Georgian cuisine at Tandur - Caucasian generosity in Valencia
The Georgian culinary tradition is one of the richest and most distinctive in the world. Centuries of history, unique spices, special techniques for preparing dough and meat – all of this makes Georgian cuisine unlike anything else. At Tandur, Georgian dishes occupy a worthy place alongside Ukrainian ones, forming a harmonious duo on a single menu. A guest can choose dishes from one cuisine or freely combine – and in either case will have an unforgettable lunch or dinner.
Khachapuri – several varieties, one passion
Khachapuri at Tandur is served in several versions. The Imeritian – round, with melted cheese inside and a golden crispy crust outside. The Adjarian – boat-shaped, with egg and a generous piece of butter that melts before your eyes. The author’s version – with seasonal additions that change depending on the time of year and availability of the best products. The dough always fresh, the filling abundant and aromatic. This is a dish that is hard not to love from the very first time.
Handmade khinkali
Khinkali at Tandur are a small culinary masterpiece in which every detail matters. Each one is made by hand: thin dough tightly seals juicy minced meat with herbs and spices, and inside during cooking a hot broth forms. Eating khinkali correctly is a special art: you need to hold by the knot, carefully bite from the bottom and enjoy the warm aromatic juice hidden inside. Khinkali are not just food – they are a ritual that initiates you into the culinary philosophy of Georgia.
Shashlik and grilled dishes
The grill at Tandur is a separate story deserving its own conversation. Shashlik of beef, lamb and chicken is marinated according to house recipes developed taking into account the characteristics of each type of meat, and cooked over live coals. The result – juicy, aromatic meat with a light smokiness and golden crust that literally melts in the mouth. Lula kebab of minced meat with spices and herbs is served with traditional sauces and fresh vegetables. Every meat dish is a triumph of flavor, where fire, the right marinade and the skill of the chef do their work.
