Finding this spot while my partner lived in Lewisburg was a massive relief. Not only is the food consistently amazing, she is Russian and it brought her back to the food from the place of her birth. But even as an American my whole life, this food is just universally good. We always got big portions and never felt too weighed down. It obviously of homemade quality with love as if you are part of the family. The hospitality is fantastic and seeing how many people come in there weary of travel but finding good food and feeling also creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere. I cannot recommend this place enough. One of my favorite places - my partner moved back to NY where we will have some great food here - but kavkaz isn't just "better" in quality than it's neighboring towns. It is up to par with the best restaurants out her way too. With my primary residence in Hawley PA, all I can say is I wish they relocated to here!!!!

Cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes homemade bread, made daily. Beef

The food is amazing. Lived in Europe for many years. Since returning I have not been able to find food this flavorful. We were heading east on I80(exit 192). So happy to find this place. Self service. Walk up to the counter, read the menu, push a button and someone comes out to take your order. She gives you a buzzer and you wait at the table you have chosen. Pick up your tray, when your meal is ready. Pay after and clear your own table. No frills. I love the simplicity.

Best place to eat. Authentic Georgian food. Truckers, don't forget to fill your fridge... will be back again. P.S. Truck parking

Cabbage rolls and dumplings (manti)
Andria Y.

Giving this an overall 5 star because I really review for food vs ambiance. Food was delicious. We got the dish with eggs, cheese in bread and it was perfectly cooked. Our friend, who never had Russian/Ukrainian food loved this so much. Bread was soft, eggs were slightly runny. Cheese had so much flavor. We also got their homemade bread. Again, perfectly made as bread should be with a yeasty smell and flavor. The dumplings (manti) were good as well. Very flavorful, filled with minced meat and onions and spices. We also got the chicken kabab and loved how the chicken chunks were grilled with a crispy layer to it. Cabbage rolls were smaller than a typical Polish cabbage roll, but still tasty. Not dried out. Flavorful. We wish it were closer to us. It's about 100 miles from us and we stopped here on our drive home. Ambiance is lacking as it's more like a trucker stop. And you order at the counter and they call you when your food is ready. But to us the food is worth it. Would def a road trip to come back. 5-star food 3-star ambiance

Self-service: You order at the counter and get a badge. The badge rings when your first is ready. Plenty of room for sitting down with friends. This is our first time so we ordered a bunch of items. Laghman was a bowl of stew with bucatini-like noodles. Georgian chicken stew was comforting and delicious. Bread was awesome, crusty with a soft interior. Cheesy bread was thin and stuffed with melty cheese. Samsa seemed to have a phyllo ish type of wrapper and beef filling was similar to the one in manti. Mantis were beefy with oniony punch. I didn't get to try the kebabs. It's about half an hour drive for us and we'll come back!

Cabbage Rolls
Leslie B.

This authentic, roadside gem was such a welcome surprise in our travels. I wish we had this restaurant in East TN! Yummm! The cabbage rolls, chicken schnitzel, and cheese bread were so good. We highly recommend!

Very large loaf of bread (optional) with the meal.

Delicious and well-made food with quality ingredients, friendly and professional staff, and large portions. They also have some grocery items for sale which is nice.

Family friendly Kavkaz restaurant. Plenty of parking.

There is no question. This is a MUST stop place. From the Khachapuri by Megreli (cheesy bread), and the Manti (dumplings), to the beef kabobs... you'll find something here that will have you dreaming of the next time you come back. Our little family was greeted and treated so kindly. We felt so welcome and can't wait for our next visit!

On a long road trip through rural America between urban centers, it is pretty rare to find a place worth the stop. Kavkaz was definitely one of these rarities. Everything was home made; the bread, borsh, dumplings and meatballs we ordered were all perfection just like out of an Eastern European grandma's kitchen. 10/10 would recommend.

My husband and I stopped here on our way out of State College towards Harrisburg airport. The food…read morewas delicious and satisfying, we ordered the hummus combo and used some of the hummus as a side dip/sauce for our lunch orders. We ordered and received our food quickly and the waitress was very kind. The restaurant was mostly occupied, but didn't feel cramped or packed. Very nice stop to try something new!

Don't waste your money. I don't write many yelp reviews, you need to really make an impression…read more(good or bad!). This was far from good. I ordered online for pickup (Arayes and Falafel) and the problems started. I received both a web notice and an email that my food would be immediately ready for pickup. Seemed weird, but I figured perhaps they have a good amount staged and could just bag it. Once I arrived at the store I was greeted by an empty host counter, and when someone finally showed up he looked annoyed and bored to be there. I told him about the order and he went to check. I saw him in the dining area a few times afterwards, but no stop up front to say "just a few minutes" or such. Eventually (truthfully, not long after - perhaps 7 minutes) he came out with a bag and said, "Here you go sir. Jonathan, right?" -- "Josh", I replied --- "Something like that." he said, maintaining bored eye contact with anywhere but my face. Despite the hiccups, I arrived home excited to try the food. I was immediately disappointed. Both dishes were supposed to come with sauce - Tahini with the falafel and Tzatziki with the Arayes. There was no sauce. I call the restaurant - it went to voicemail. I drove back - waited again at the empty host counter, and was eventually greeted by a young woman. She was much more welcoming and engaged than the prior person. I explained what happened and she said she would be right back. A few minutes later the original guy came back with a bag with "Sorry about that". I got home and immediately regretted not looking in the bag while still at the restaurant. I received two containers of Tahini and one of some mystery green sauce. Google tells me that Tzatziki can be green, but this neither tastes nor looks like any tzatziki I've ever had. (Not being a culinary expert I don't mind being corrected if I am wrong here) All sauces refrigerator cold. Maybe they are supposed to be? Checking the menu to see if I misremembered, I saw that they were also supposed to come with some sort of "arabic bread" which was missing. I did not call again and resigned myself to eating the already lukewarm food. The falafel was overcooked and very dry. Reminded me of hockey pucks. One bite was enough. Now we get to the redeeming part of the story... the Arayes are phenomenal. They need no sauce. 10/10. I am all for paying well for high-quality food and service, but I won't be giving any more money to this establishment until/unless they iron out their hospitality and quality processes. Truly a shame, because the interior looks nice and someone there really knows how to cook.

Crown Fried Chicken didn't fail me -- it successfully executed mediocrity at a professional level…read more Everything was crispy. Loudly crispy. OSHA-approved crunch. The texture showed up ready to work. The flavor, however, called out sick and never returned. Every bite sounded incredible and then immediately tasted like air that had been briefly introduced to salt. This place used to be legendary. Life-altering. The kind of chicken that ruined other chicken for you. Now it's fried chicken that crunches confidently while delivering absolutely no message. It's like listening to fireworks with noise-canceling headphones on. And the onion rings -- golden, crunchy, structurally flawless circles of nothing. Perfectly fried, expertly engineered, and seasoned with the restraint of a monastery. I kept waiting for flavor to kick in. It never did. It just stared back at me. Nothing was wrong. Nothing was exciting. I wasn't mad -- I was confused. How can something be this crispy and still say so little? This wasn't bad food. Bad food has opinions. This was food that refused to take a stance. Crown Fried Chicken didn't disappoint me. It crunched loudly, said nothing, and left me alone with my thoughts.

This place always hits the spot. The new owners surely improved a restaurant that I already…read morethoroughly enjoyed. Just a heads up, the prices have definitely went up quite a bit in recent years. 2 lamb/chicken and rice meals and 1 side cost me just under $50. That's a little pricy for what is a large portion but amounts to mostly rice. And then they charge the same for lamb or chicken with rice, but if you want 1/2 lamb and 1/2 chicken, it's an upcharge. I guess I miss when this place was a spot that I could get some super tasty food and grub out for the low$ . But all things have gone up in price so it's not really a knock. Nonetheless it's still a place we choose to eat at nearly every week.
