    Tabaka
    John G.

    My wife and I ended up here for dinner after skipping lunch that day. We ordered three entries: chakapuli, tabaka and adjaruli. For the chakapuli, I enjoyed the tarragon and how it blended with the lamb. Most of the meat melted in my mouth, there were only a few tough pieces. My wife enjoyed the fried chicken more than me. It was tender and juicy, though the garlic was too infused into meat, making it stronger than my preference. The boat bread with cheese and egg worked well with both the chakapuli and tabaka as a starch. It may have been baked after we ordered it. My only complaint was my mouth was salty and dry after the meal, though the effects of that did not linger long. Service was above average and they were very friendly. It's a great place to just sit and talk to others you are with.

    I've reviewed Shoti bread house before but I had to write again because they continue to amaze me. This time my wife and I shared a chicken shish kebab and their amazing khinkali. Even though we ordered through DoorDash the food held up amazingly and was just as delicious as it is in person. Their fresh bread is also spectacular and very reasonably priced.

    We came here during Sunday lunch hours to meet up with some amazing Yelp friends. There were parking spots right in front and around the store. They had a cozy small dining space with few tables and booths to dine-in. The interior of the restaurant was so nice, with the beautiful art and paintings on the wall. We started with soft and fluffy Shoti bread. We got to order a bunch of things from the menu. Shish Kabab, chicken/lamb dumplings and Tabaka (small fried chicken) were decent dishes. Chanakhi (lamb stew) was a best dish to be, had amazing flavor and stew was delicious. Adjaruli was the iconic Georgian dish on the table, filled with enormous amount of cheese, mixed with poached egg. Our server was super friendly. All our dishes kept coming out within small interval. The prices of the items were so cheap, we were surprised to see the total of the check. Overall it was a wonderful dining experience at Shoti.

    I finally popped my Georgian cuisine cherry!!! Shoti Bread House is a restaurant and bakery that serves authentic Georgian delicacies. It's known for its signature shoti bread, adjaruli khachapuri, khinkali, and traditional stews. It's located in Fair Lawn with a small parking lot. There's also street parking nearby. The interior is casual, cozy, and decorated with cultural memorabilia from Georgia and Eastern Europe. Very authentic feel! The seating area is small and intimate, so it's best to make reservations for larger parties. We made a reservation for a group of 7 and we were seated in a comfortable corner near the windows. The menu offers a variety of entrees, appetizers, grilled meats, baked goods, etc. It was our first time trying Georgian cuisine, so we weren't sure where to start! But our server, Taylor, did an amazing job with taking care of us. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us tons of recommendations. She was very welcoming, accommodating, patient, and attentive to our group the entire time. All of our food came out in a timely manner. We ordered a little bit of everything and shared it family style. *Adjaruli Khachapuri (baked boat-shaped bread with cheese, butter, and poached egg in the center) $15 - This exact dish is what drew me to try this cuisine! They used a blend of Georgian cheeses to achieve a perfectly gooey texture and salty/tangy flavors. The addition of egg yolk and butter created a rich blend of creamy goodness. The yeast bread was fluffy and had a heavy fermented flavor that paired well with the cheesy center. *Megruli (savory pie with cheese on the inside and outside of the dough) $14 - If you're a cheese lover, I highly recommend ordering this! It's extremely cheesy and feels like a comforting hug with every bite. *Shoti Bread (traditionally baked in a clay oven) $3.50 - Soft and chewy with a golden brown crust! *Chicken Khinkali $10 & Lamb Khinkali $13.50 (soup dumplings made of twisted dough stuffed with spiced meat) - I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The dumpling wrapper was too thick for my liking. There wasn't that much broth and the meat wasn't too flavorful. *Chanakhi (lamb stew with cooked vegetables) $15.50 - Surprisingly, the lamb didn't taste gamey at all! It was tender and absorbed the flavors of the stew. The stew was hearty and seasoned with delicious spices and herbs. *Tabaka (whole small fried chicken) $17.50 - The chicken was moist with crispy, golden skin. It was aromatic and topped with minced garlic and a traditional spice blend. *Chicken Shish Kebab (marinated pieces of meat cooked on skewers served with baked potatoes & signature sauce) $15.50 - Juicy meat!!! I enjoyed the marinade - it added peppery, earthy, and smoky flavors. *Natakhtari (lemon-lime lemonade) $4.95 - Not a fan... too sweet for me. It was like a non-carbonated version of Sprite, but more watered down and with lots of sugar. Overall, I was not disappointed with this experience! The flavors were authentic and the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. It definitely beats Manhattan prices LOL... I definitely recommend this restaurant for Georgian cuisine if you're in the North Jersey area. As a hardcore cheese lover, I would definitely return, especially for that CHEESE BOAT!!!

    Nestled at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, the country of Georgia is a land rich in history, culture, and gastronomy, showcasing the bounty of the region's agricultural landscapes. Georgian cuisine has been attracting increased attention among chefs and food enthusiasts in the U.S. for a few years. Unfortunately, the number of truly authentic establishments is small, found mostly in larger cities that are home to sizable numbers of the Eastern European and Russian diaspora. Located on River Road in Fair Lawn, my partner, some of our Yelp friends Bea, Jose, Nehal, Wei, their daughter, and I were lucky to have this hidden gem so close to home without going into Gotham and decided on lunch today. A reservation was easily made via Google Assistant. Labelled after shotis puri, the name of a traditional Georgian bread baked in a clay oven similar to a tandoor, we were greeted upon entering as first-timers at Shoti Bread House. With a cozy, casual, and welcoming vibe, we were seated immediately by the window. Their menu features a variety of traditional dishes like Khachapuri, Lobiani, and Kubdari. The star of the show is the Adjaruli, a boat-shaped bread filled with gooey cheese, butter, and a poached egg, grilled to perfection. We opted for family style and decided on Meguli (pizza), Adjaruli (boat-shaped cheese bread), Khinkali (chicken and lamb dumplings), Tabaka (roast chicken), Chicken Shish Kebab, and Chakapuli (lamb stew). Our meal started out with the Shoti. Every dish was fresh, full of authentic flavor, and made with care for authentic food. The portion was healthy, which didn't leave room for dessert, and the prices were surprisingly affordable. Friendly staff made the experience even better, especially our server, Taylor. We look forward to going back soon!

    Georgian cuisine in the area. This is my first trying Georgian food. Overall a solid spot for good meals. We went in as a big group. The waitress was efficient and helpful. Informed us regarding the ingredients while bringing the dishes out due to some of us have diet restrictions. The cuisine has a lot of cheese based dishes, soft bread, grilled meat and stew. All are flavorful and big portions. Dumplings dough is a little thick for me. I highly recommend to go with a big group so you can try different things.

    1/11/25 Yummy warm bread Tarragon Sparkling Lemonade Tolma in Grape Leaves with Veal, interesting no rice and hot, it's good Penovani Khachapuri - Cheese Pastry is good Khinkali - they are like giant soup dumplings, they are so good Ojakhuri Sokoti - potatoes and mushroom baked, flavorful but misunderstood and thought it came with pork lol

    Salad with walnut dressing
    Cynthia F.

    Ordered by delivery this time. Beet pkhali survived the delivery perfectly. 4 scoops, which will last four meals for me. Shoti bread delicious but i probably should have heated it up. I'm enjoying the dessert of walnuts on a string wrapped in what i would call plum fruit leather. Big enough for several servings. I love that it's tasty but not too sweet. Salad in walnut dressing had lots of dressing. I think I'll stick with their regular salad next time. Lobio entree is good but I enjoyed it even more in the restaurant when served in a clay pot. Plum sauce is sour; not sure what dish that would enhance.

    Came to Shoti Bread House with Yelp friends and it was an excellent gathering. I have never had Georgian cuisine and I became a fan. The restaurant is not large, but they have plenty of seating, appealing decor, and great service. Taylor did a fabulous job at guiding us throughout our meal and her recommendations were delicious and appreciated. I appreciated the photos within the menu and the prices were beyond reasonable. We started with a Georgian Lemonade (Natakhtari). It was refreshing and everyone enjoyed it. The Georgian Bread was VERY GOOD. It was served hot and the butter just made it the perfect starter. We ordered the following items, which we gladly shared and throughly enjoyed: Adjaruli (Baked, boat shaped pie with gooey cheese, poached egg, and butter), Khinkali (hand rolled dumplings, with pork & beef), Megruli (inside and out cheese pie, with a golden cheese coat), Chicken Lula-kebab (Chicken breast with Georgian seasonings on skewers, rolled into thin lavashi bread, served with house sauce). Every item was full of spices, seasoning, perfect to share, and all were delectable choices. I'm glad that I got to experience Georgian cuisine with fellow Yelpers and I'm certain, that we'll all return to enjoy more of their food.

    My friend recently returned from a trip to Georgia and I had recently heard about this Georgian restaurant. Naturally, I asked him if he'd like to join me for dinner so he could tell me how it compares to food in Georgia. We went for a late dinner on Thursday so it wasn't too busy. We were seated right away but it looked like there was a decent amount of people who ordered takeout. My party ordered: adjaruli khachapuri, khinkhali (pork/beef & lamb), Georgian sausage, veal stew, chicken soup, and beef soup. My favorite were definitely the adjaruli khachapuri and khinkhali. The adjaruli khachapuri is accurately referred to as a "cheese boat" because that's exactly what it is. You get a boat shaped loaf of bread filled with cheese and egg in the middle. So simple yet so amazingly delicious; I'd come back for this alone. The khinkhali is a Georgian soup dumpling. I like that the tops are really thick and can be used as a handle, very convenient. The soup and meat inside each were very flavorful. At first I preferred the pork/beef but as I had more I found that I liked the lamb. At first it felt a little gamey but with more bites I came to appreciate the flavor. I suppose that has to do with the spices they use. The veal stew was my next favorite thing. The meat was pretty tender and the flavor profile was different from the other dishes we ordered. I think it was tomato-based. I'd have this again but I think I'd try other dishes first. The Georgian sausage was ok. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. It was served with an interesting sauce that had a really tangy flavor. I'd pass on this the next visit. The soups were not that good. They were both pretty bland. I wouldn't get them again. They were also borderline lukewarm when they were served which was a little disappointing. The restaurant feels very cozy. My friend commented that he ate at a few spots in Georgia that had similar ambiance. I suppose that speaks to the authenticity of the place. The service was friendly and I appreciated that our waitress actually made personal recommendations. I think the prices are fair. I'd love to come back and try more of their offerings.

    Very interesting place Never had Georgian food so was not sure what to order The waitress was very cool and very authentic We started with a bread bowl packed with cheese and egg very different but very good We then had some dumplings not sure about it but was good. The lamb stew was delicious and different The dessert was very different not sure if I liked

    Khashi
    Gordon Y.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8 Decor: 8 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Cute little restaurant that makes you feel like you left NJ and step into Eastern Europe the moment you step inside. My family and I had the fortune of finding this local gem on a recent trip. Honestly, the food was all quite good, but not necessarily better than other Georgian food I have experienced around NYC. However, their shoti bread was definitely a highlight. Grilled on an open fire and toasted to the perfect crunchiness, with a delectable chew in every bite full of flavor. So good we bought three more to go. The Adjaruli is always fun to order because it looks so wonderful as the server is mixing up the cheese, butter and egg. Unfortunately, I felt like their homemade cheese lacked a little bit of flavor. We ordered a cold appetizer of Eggplant Pkhali, which was quite good, full of walnut paste and pomegranate seeds. Of the two soups we ordered, Kharcho was decent, but the Khashi was quite bland. Our server was a nice lady who guided us on what and how to order. I think she was quite amused watching a Chinese family enjoying their cuisine. Anyway, the service was very good. If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely consider coming back to try more food. Maybe some of the meats on the grill, or some of the entrees.

    Ukrainian beer

    Very friendly quick service. Very reasonable prices. First time for Georgian food. Also had Ukrainian beer. Excellent food. A must if you like trying new places to eat. Definitely will be back.
