Khinkali are repeatedly praised as fresh, juicy and delicious, including cheese-filled versions ordered for delivery.
Reviewers highlight the freshly baked khachapuri, especially the Megruli version and its gooey cheese.
The hookah is described as smooth and long-lasting, with a broad flavour selection and no bitter taste in one visit.
The calm setting, including a peaceful terrace, suits an unhurried dinner or conversation with friends.
Several reviews mention big or well-sized portions, including a breakfast visit where dishes were nicely served.
Free parking is reported in front of the restaurant, with another review noting parking outside the mall.
Customers describe the staff as friendly and attentive, including helpful ordering recommendations during an early dinner.
Check breakfast. Confirm the current breakfast menu before visiting; one advertised favourite was not included in the actual offer.
Try Megruli. If choosing khachapuri, consider Megruli: one reviewer preferred it because the Adjarian cheese was not considered original.
Allow time. Leave some buffer before plans, since one review says the food took a while to arrive.
Ask parking. Look for parking in front of the restaurant or outside the mall, both mentioned by diners.
Separate shisha. If you want a meal without hookah nearby, note that the shisha is served separately from the dining area.
Quiet breakfast. For a calmer weekend morning, one reviewer liked the AED69 breakfast because the place stayed calm even on weekends.

Mojitos are singled out as a refreshing drink, with one reviewer calling them the best they had tried.
Dolma is one of the specific Georgian dishes recommended by a customer, alongside dessert.

The shakshuka was served with two pieces of very dry white baguette, according to one breakfast review.
A reviewer found the chairs small and uncomfortable, and said another guest had a similar experience.
One customer said the food took a while to arrive, although they found it delicious once served.

The Bottom Line
Paddock Restaurant is a Georgian and Caucasian dining spot with hookah in Al Furjan, drawing people for dishes such as khinkali, khachapuri, Ojakhuri and eggplant with nuts. The strongest pattern in the reviews is the Georgian food: khinkali are described as fresh, juicy and delicious, while the baked khachapuri—particularly Megruli—gets repeated praise. It is also a lounge-style place for a slower evening.
Customers mention a cosy, colourful setting, a peaceful terrace and a relaxing atmosphere for talking with friends. The shisha is a major part of the appeal: reviewers describe it as light, smooth and long-lasting, with many flavours, and note that it is served separately from the dining area. Parking has been reported in front of the restaurant and outside the mall.
Breakfast is available, including a customer-reported AED69 all-you-can-eat offer, but check the actual menu before going. One diner found that the advertised breakfast selection did not match what was available, and received very dry baguette with shakshuka. Seating may also be an issue for some, as one review found the chairs small and uncomfortable.
Food can occasionally take time to arrive, so Paddock is better suited to an unhurried visit than a rushed meal.
