This place has THE BEST kachapuri I ever had. I was very impressed with it. The crust wasn't overbaked and it had the perfect blend of cheeses. The noise in the restaurant was at a higher level so keep this in mind when planning. The interior of the restaurant has a simple yet cozy feel to it. I enjoyed the interactions with my waiter. He was friendly yet not overbearing. If you order the kachapuri it will sit heavy on your stomach. You may want to order it as your main entree or share with others. I also ordered a Georgian chicken dinner but had to take it to go. They are a little more on the pricey side too. Overall, worth it though. I like the neighborhood this place is situated in. There is street parking as well and the front entrance isn't far from curbside. I enjoyed my visit here. They're open until 10:00 pm on Fridays. If I had more time in Winnipeg, I would return here. Perhaps next time? I will most likely return to Winnipeg at some point. This city surprised me in many ways. read more

Was great and service was wonderful. Highly recommend and enjoyed the traditional element of it. read more

Amazing Feast!! We had the Georgian Supper and a few other items we just had to try. Even though we were a big group of big eaters, we had a tonne of leftovers! We will be back. read more

Went to try this for the first time a few weeks ago! The food is unreal! Traditional Georgian food! The Chkmeruli is likely their most popular dish, as it was on EVERY table! The khinkali was really good, a little on the pricey side. Kachapuri was awesome! Portions were very nice, 2 of us shared 3 plates and had leftovers for 3 days! The service was good, and our waitress warmed up as we asked more questions about Georgia, and the food/culture. Would 10/10 recommend everyone to go try this!!! Will definitely be back, so much we wanted to try! read more

The overall is ok, but I was expecting bigger size of dishes for that price of Georgian cuisine. The interior looks very cheap, furniture, lights and table dishes. No complaints for servant, the service was good. read more

What a great experience. First time here. A lesson was learned - portions are large, and for old folks like us, they are plenty big enough to share. That said, the borsch was delicious , Khachapuri (flatbread stuffed with a cheese blend) was out of this world - our favorite dish. The Khinkali (dumplings with ground beef and pork) were huge! And delicious. Came as four pieces, three of which we brought home. Chkmeruli was out of this world. Three chicken thighs in a cream and garlic sauce served with new potatoes. Oh, and let's not forget the Georgian wine made from the, wait for it, Saperavi grape. Our Ukrainian waitress was adorable - efficient, personable, and very competent. Saperavi was a wonderful experience that we will surely try again. read more

Love love love. The soup!!!! My god. Dumplings. The Cheese bread with marinara has been a favourite of mine for almost ten years. Incredible. read more

On our last trip to Winnipeg we decided to try something different. A quick Google search brought up Saperavi and we decided to check it out. The place was deserted, owing to the Coronavirus stuff that was just appearing on the horizon. Service was top-notch and staff were super friendly. Wait staff were patient and explained the menu and had good recommendations. We chose to go with the Pkhali and the Khachapuri Imeruli (no running eggs!) for starters and the Chkmeruli for our main course. That was a lot of food for the two of us, and we had plenty of leftovers. The pkhali was fresh and had a lot of flavor and the Lavashi was fresh. The khachapuri was a better version of cheesey bread and was the best dish. We opted for the Chkmeruli with a side of potatoes. The chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection.The meat just fell off the bones. Hope that this COVID stuff is behind us soon, as we would like to return and try a few more things from the menu. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect of Georgian food but it was absolutely delicious! Corydon restaurants can be hit or miss (in my opinion) but this one is unique and so delicious and full of flavour that I didn't expect from this region. This is what we had and it was from our server who recommended it. Khachapuri Imeruli ($10) cheese filled baked flat bread - this is a crowd pleaser because it's cheese stuffed into bread. The 3 cheeses were all local stuff we've had before. I feel like there was havarti. It would've been more interesting if it was cheeses from Georgia. It's their most popular item but I wouldn't order it again as it's quite straightforward. Gupta ($22) Lamb meatballs in tomato / cream sauce seasoned with Georgian spices and served with rice - rich sauce and was sooooo interesting in all of its flavours. 3 large meatballs. A very good dish. Chkmeruli ($19 or $23) chicken in cream and garlic sauce cooked in a clay pots, served with rice - this one is a fave. It doesn't sound as good as it tastes but it is. I couldn't figure out the flavours but they were complex and rich. We ordered the smaller portion at $19 for 3 chicken thighs. Loved the sauce on the rice. Service is super friendly and vibe is more traditional in the decor. We happened to be next to a large Russian family party who ended up turning on the music and dancing into the late night. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes. They even have this soup dumpling that's popular which reminds me of the Chinese soup dumplings. Will have to try that next. read more

We found this restaurant listed in a brochure at St. Boniface Cathedral, Googled it, good reviews. It's Georgian food with Ukrainian servers who were very friendly. We shared a Pkhali. Tasty starter. The Chakhokhbili was a very good chicken hot pot. I had it with the basmati rice. The dumplings were freshly made, more like super large ravioli. The restaurant is classy enough for a date too. Good experience. Tipped 20%. read more

3.5/5, +.5 for service This is the first time I've ever tried Georgian food, and I was really impressed. I came here with friends with an open mind, not knowing what to expect for the most part. It wasn't too busy on a Friday night, although the server we had said it's normally busier than this. No biggie, since I had a bit of time limit that night and wanted to finish within 90 minutes. We ordered the khachapuri imeruli (cheese filled baked flat bread), lots of khinkali (traditional Georgian giant dumplings), lamb shashlik, and the chaqapuli (veal stew in a clay pot). Overall we really enjoyed everything. The flat bread was especially delicious and was filled juicy with cheese. The giant dumplings were also delicious, reminded me of the Shanghai kind but bigger and thicker. The lamb shashlik was also very good, although low on portions. The chaqapuli was probably our least favourite dish as it was ridiculously small in size (although still tasty). Service was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming and educated on Georgian food, so you certainly won't get lost. Will definitely return! It's not everyday where you try something new. read more

Very fresh ingredients. Wonderful assortment of dishes. Plates are large and small and perfectly seasoned. Ambience is a bit dark and reserved. Outdoor patio is nicely formatted. Service was kind and insightful. Average drink menu. Enjoy! read more

This place is a great example of Georgian cuisine. If you've never tried it, this place is great for the first try. The menu offers great options. We had khachapuri (it's close to cheese flatbreads but better), lulia kebab (kind of a meat loaf with spices), and of course khinkali (the dumplings). Yammi stuff! , , , - , ! read more

Amazing food. Excellent service. Their famous bread is to die for. We will be coming back for sure!

Basically a locals place, but very good comfort food and very courteous service. Try either the khachapuri or the kubdari with added cheese as an appetizer. For entrees, chakhokhbili (chicken stew) and grilled beef kabobs both highly recommended. read more

Fantastic food and service. Never tried Georgian food before and this blew my mind. We were so pleasantly surprised!

Georgian cuisine is very unique and unlike any other. I've had it once before, in Poland of all places, which has a Georgian expat community. The food at Saperavi was very similar to what I had there so I believe it is authentic. Be prepared for an exotic mix of flavors that is hard to describe. The breads are great as well. There are a good number of veg and non-veg dishes to choose from. No Georgian wines by the glass though - that is something they should consider rectifying. read more

This was our first time trying Georgian cuisine on our first visit to Winnipeg. Our group of 6 received a warm welcome on a busy Friday night. We couldn't order the variety option that is on the menu but not available on Friday or Saturday nights. Not a problem as our server Maria did an amazing job explaining menu and options in terms of portion sizes and spices. We loved the food and the service and highly recommend this restaurant for all of you lucky enough to live in Winnipeg ! We tried salads soups bakery chicken meatballs and dumplings . Everyone was happy with choices! Comfort food for sure.maria was very entertaining and we enjoyed her tales and explanations. read more

We were looking for something a little different on a rainy day. This seemed like the perfect comfort food. We were very pleased. Attentive service. Everything was ready fairly quickly but we didn't feel rushed. The only bad thing was there weren't more people here enjoying it... I hope this place will get the business it deserves. read more

Saperavi - Delicious cheesy bread with extremely tasty tomato and cilantro spread. Wow. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Sampled several menu items by sharing among 3 people. Stand-outs were the Shashlik (grilled meat on skewers - delicious, crispy, tender and juicy), and the Ispanakhi (spinach and walnut - like the filling of a spanakopita). The Shkmeruli (chicken cooked in milk and spices) was good, as were the stuffed mushrooms. The Odjakhuri (pork cooked in clay pot with potatoes that ended up being fries) was disappointing. All in, the food was good, the service was great, the staff were intent on knowing what we thought, how we thought they could improve, and seemed to genuinely want to learn how to evolve their offering. There are many menu items I'm keen to try so will definitely be returning. read more

We love trying different foods and found Saperavi. We had no idea what Georgian food would be like and we loved it. It has an amazing mix of options. We loved ordering many to enjoy it as almost a Tapas style for the 5 of us. The service was wonderful, very helpful on deciding the perfect dishes and what sizes to choose. Our favourites were the cheese bread, chkmeruli (chicken in cream and garlic sauce), pork shashlik (like a kebab with amazing herbs). We tried many others and loved them all. Its very hearty and wonderful flavours! I highly recommend this place. read more

Our group of 4 enjoyed a delicious dinner. We tried a variety of the menu items and enjoyed them all. The recommended wine went really well with the meal and the service was excellent. Want to go back and try the patio now that the warmer weather has arrived. read more

Been there 2 times this year and probably will come back with my friends few more time. The food is traditional Georgian style and quality of meat is great. Amazing place for celebrating your birthday or just have a romantic dinner. Staff professional and know what they are doing. read more

Were there yesterday. It was first day they updated their menu and food was fantastic. We took Odzhakhuri, that is pork with potatoes, egg-plants, some sweet peppers and tomatoes - so good! Their breads are great - we tasted one plain bread Lavash and Hachapuri Imeruli - that is flat bread with cheese. I love both of them. My friends' absolute favorite became lamb stew and rice soup - so nicely flavored and spicy. Wait-stuff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will come there back soon. read more
