    Overcooked French fries

    Let's begin. We arrived at the café hungry, ordered food at 7 p.m., and waited with our child, who was walking around the room and playing the piano. An elderly woman came and made a comment to the child. We understood and took our little one away. Besides us, there were Georgian and Spanish-speaking children who also sat at the piano and climbed under the table, but only ours was reprimanded. Thirty minutes passed, and we asked when our order would be ready. We were told that priority was given to those who had made reservations and had arrived 15-20 minutes after us. We understood and waited. Finally, they brought us khachapuri at around 7:37 p.m., followed by hot dish 1, and then at 7:45 p.m. they brought hot dish 2. Then, at 7:49 p.m., they brought the unfortunate French fries, which we commented were overcooked. The same elderly woman came and said that they were fine, even though we had been to this restaurant before and also ordered French fries, and they were fine then. She did this while we were eating and started raising her voice, pointing her finger at us, saying that we had decided not to pay for these fries! I asked her not to point her finger and spoil our appetite, but no, she stood by our table on the child's side and continued to say unpleasant things to us. We will pay for the French fries, it's about 5-8 bucks, we won't go broke, but you've lost face! There were Georgians in the cafe, and she started telling them about us in her language, apparently using harmful words and discussing us. We lost our appetite, and the woman was also yelling at her place, so we decided to leave, but we paid for all the dishes as we should have, including her potatoes, which we returned! the man who pretended to take the side of the elderly woman, if you touch people without permission, you clearly have problems with boundaries. I removed your hands from my husband's back as he was leaving the restaurant carrying our child. I no longer recommend this place and will discourage anyone from going there. If our friends went there before, then unfortunately, thanks to one adult woman, this place gets 0 stars.

    Acharuli Khachapuri

    First time trying Georgian cuisine and it was amazing! My friends and I were going on a food adventure and came across this cute little restaurant. Definitely worth the 1 hour commute haha! I had a great time. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. Hospitality was an A+. They offered us the best recommendations and we were so happy to try them. For dinner, we ordered the Acharuli Khachapuri and Khinkali (Georgian soup dumplings). Simple, yet such a satisfying and hearty meal! The Khinkali were full of flavor and spiced perfectly. Great for sharing among friends. They did not skimp out on the meat! Great portion. The Khachapuri cheese had a nice tangy flavor, but not too overpowering. Reminded me of the Greek feta. And the bread tasted so fresh! Very filling as well, so definitely come hungry. I can't recommend this spot enough. A wonderful hidden gem and can't wait to come back soon!

    1 lb. Napoleon Cake

    Stopped by for a quick bite white picking up more napoleon cake! I got the mushroom piroshki and it was so good. The pastry was flaky yet breast at the same time while the filling was super flavorful (a bit too salty for me though). I enjoyed dipping it in the beef stew as well as eating it alone. The beef stew had a really good flavor although the beef was on the leaner side, making it a bit tough/chewy. The main reason for stopping by again was to pick up napolean cake! I needed two 1 lb cakes but they only had one in the display case so I asked if they could make me two fresh ones and they did! So yummy and fresh and very happy with the service.

    Cute interior!

    This cafe has been en route to my grocery market many times, and today I've finally decided to step in and try out their khachapuri. Their store is very inviting with seats, pillows, and the cutest decoration/trinkets by the window. I ordered the chashushuli (stewed beef) and a side of bread just as the owner had suggested. Everything came out piping hot, bread toasted, and full of flavor. The khachapuri + beef stew takes around 15 minutes to make, so be prepared! Make sure to mash that yolk and swirl it around the bread boat to distribute your flavors! I was debating on whether or not I should give the place 4/5 stars since things were a little salty, but honestly the radiating smile from the owner and her whole hearted suggestions gives this place a 5. I left stuffed since we were tempted by all her wonderful suggestions and ended up ordering 2 smalls khachapuris, beef stew + a side of bread. She was overjoyed to hear that we were taking the left over bread home. The seating situation has 2 tables that seats 4, 1 small outdoor table for 2 outside, & a bar setup by the window that seats around 5-6. It's a great dine in restaurant simply due to the amount of positive energy inside this place. We didn't have to pay tip, and prices are marked in cash - if you want to pay card there'll be an extra 4% charge on top.

On an unusually warm day in March, they set up the classy outdoor seating. I asked the server for recommendations - the menu is great for sharing and trying lots of different dishes, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with too many calories. She was a gem and suggested: Eggplant Pkhali - I really love this vegan dip of eggplant, walnuts, roasted onion, garlic, coriander, pomegranate molasses, cilantro and pomegranate. It comes with fresh bread, that is crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. It's perfection, refreshing, toothsome, and vegan! Khinkali - beef and pork soup dumplings were well folded, savory, and soupy on the inside. Red currant mocktails - pretty and refreshing! They also have an extensive wine, beer, and cocktail menu. I have also been here for lunch and had a number of other dips and salads and loved what I got. Chama Mama is great for a date or friends. I believe they will rent out the full restaurant for events. The vibe feels upscale yet simple, and everything is delicious. Prices are in the teens for appetizers and $30+ per entree. Recommend.

Beet salad was a hit served with big chunks of tender beets. I'm not sure if they boiled and chilled the beets or used another technique to soften them up, but it came out nicely. This time we opted for the khachapuri imeruli. It was delicious. I've yet to come across a khachapuri that I've disliked. Dough was crispy and flakey. Cheese was melty and gooey. Always such a cozy delight. We had the khinkali again - this time with cheese filling. It's a nice vegetarian friendly option, but I prefer the meat or vegetable blend fillings. Cheese in the khinkali was similar to the khachapuri, so it was redundant to order the two together. Would definitely recommend the khinkali but would pick a different filling if you're getting khachapuri. For the main course, we shared the shkmeruli - a roasted chicken in a creamy garlic sauce. I've seen this listed as chicken tabaka elsewhere. It was excellent! Less garlicky than the one I had a Saperavi earlier in the week. Chicken was juicy but the sauce was the star. We dipped the nipples of the khinkali in the sauce to maximize usage. Good list of Georgian wines. Full bar plus some beers including a Georgian one. Service brought out the dishes in a well paced manner. They were very patient as we lounged in their backyard. It was a very comfortable outdoor dining set up. There is one, spacious single occupancy restroom.

It was a rainy Saturday at around 1, so it wasn't too busy at the time. We ordered: -Eggplant rolls (eggplant with walnut, fenugreek, garlic paste, and pomegranates) -Megruli Kachapuri (classic kachapuri with extra cheese) - basically cheese bread and I mean, can you really go wrong with extra cheese? -Beef Khinkali - I would say this might only be the second time I've had Khinkali before and I don't think I'm a fan of the super thick skin. I did like that it was kind of like a hand-held soup dumpling though -Lula Kebab (ground lamb wrapped in lavash) - this was my favorite dish. They do not skimp on the meat! It's a ground meat skewer, which was very tender and flavorful (though a BIT too salty), and I loved the homemade tomato sauce it was served with. I ended up putting the sauce on everything -Kupati (Georgian-style sausage) - I liked the meat itself, but the casing was on the thicker side -Chicken in Bazhe (pan roasted Cornish hen in walnut sauce) - the chicken was a little dry, and I didn't love the walnut sauce If I were to come back, I think the only thing I would order again would be the kachapuri (or perhaps try a different variation), and definitely the kebab.

The cheeseboat is perfect for one person, but it can get a bit heavy from all the cheese. My favorite one was either the leek or chicken cheeseboat, the leek was so flavorful and shined in the cheeseboat.

In the last few weeks, I have been to three Georgian restaurants, and this one may be the antithesis to everything I have tried up to this point. Because this restaurant is in Williamsburg, expect some hipster flair with some great food. Fortunately, Cheeseboat delivers on both fronts. This is the restaurant that introduced me to Khinkali, or Georgian soup dumplings. Six to a plate, these are outrageously, sinfully, delicious. Not terribly hot, but have terrific flavor that are not filling at all. Everybody should order these when they come here. The Shkmeruli is terrific as well. Full of flavor, amazing spice, the chicken is moist and juicy. I easily butchered this because I did not want to leave any meat on the bone. Unfortunately, the bread it comes with is a bit salty for my liking, but the chicken is the star, and that is why it can be recommended. Of course, you know what is coming next. I have been on the hunt for Khachapuri since I cannot get enough of this bread now. Everything I said previously I rescind (kidding), but seriously. This is dynamic. It is hot and stays hot. So much cheesy flavor and full of deliciousness I could not stop eating it. It is good for one person. This is not to be shared. I would like to take a moment to recognize my server, Liza, now. Pretty, exuberant, full of joy and confidence, with an intelligent aura around her, I think I fell in love with her each time she passed my table. Sonny from the film, "A Bronx Tale" once said every man meets three great women in their lifetime. Sometimes they come all once, sometimes they come around every 10 years. She is definitely someone who is going to make someone very happy one day. It was a joy to have her serve me. How often have I been giving out five star reviews lately? A lot, I know. However, you deserve the truth, and this restaurant does not tell a lie. Liza and all, this is the five star experience.

Luckily I was able to get a reservation ahead of time because the place was packed that night! I'm not too familiar with Georgian food, but many of the dishes on the menu looked so good.

The dumplings were stuffed full with mushrooms and I liked the thick dumpling skin. So different than dumplings I've had before. The flatbread was so unique topped with the pile of fresh herbs and pesto. It's a must order! The pork skewer was so juicy and flavorful.

I came away disappointed -- nothing on the plate tasted authentic. Both the salmon mtsvadi and the chicken tabaka tasted nerfed, like the spices had been dialed way down. What came through instead was mostly acidity -- heavy lemon and salt, across every dish, with none of the depth I was expecting. It would have helped if the dill and pomegranate had actually been part of the dish rather than sitting on the side as decoration. Maybe this is just an Americanized take on Georgian cuisine, but either way, I didn't like it. The ambience didn't help either. We were seated behind the bar, where the tables were packed in. The row of people seated at the bar were a bit rowdy, and the passage was so narrow we got bumped every few minutes.
