My group and I came here for dinner after deciding, new year, new cuisine. We came on a Friday night and it was pretty busy, as there was a party of 10 in one corner. The restaurant is quite warm and cozy, good for a small party. There's only 1 restroom but that wasn't an issue.
Anyway, food! We really wanted to order Khachapuri with the poached egg, however, they do not have it here, rather they have a flat soft bread with cheese in the middle...which we did order. It was enough to not feel too heavy, but if you wanted more cheese, they do have one with double the cheese.
We also ordered the khinkali, or the dumplings. They were more the size of a bun than a dumpling. The top of the dumpling was quite thick, so it was a bit hard to eat, otherwise, the filling was pretty good.
We also had an eggplant appetizer with walnut pate. It wasn't for me, as there was a heavy oil aftertaste.
Next we ordered the pork sausage. My friends said it was their favorite. I have a neutral opinion on it, but it wasn't bad. It was perhaps slightly too smokey for me.
We also ordered their mushroom appetizer, which reminded me of escargot, heavy garlicky butter smell and taste.
Lastly, we ordered the chicken in garlic sauce. The garlic sauce was a bit runny, I kinda wished it was thicker or if there was slightly less sauce. However, the sauce was good with the bread they provided, as it tasted just like toasted garlic bread.
I have to say, this cuisine isn't fit for everyone's taste, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try.
They do have a 10% service charge already added to the bill, plus a 3.5% charge for paying with credit card and still need to pay tip on top. Just something to look out for. read more
