“If you’re in the mood for authentic Georgian food, this place is just the spot! Everything was outstanding - the khinkali had a perfectly thin wrapping and juicy and well-seasoned filling; the pkhali were an explosion of garlicky, savory flavor; and the baked goods (khachapuri, pkhlovani, and lobiani) were sublime. The homemade dough had the perfect texture and chew, and we couldn’t get enough of the creamy, slightly tangy Georgian cheeses. Oh and, don’t sleep on the lemonades - they have some great flavors, especially the anisey tarragon drink. Our only regret was that we had intended on trying a diverse selection of foods but the khachapuri, pkhlovani, and lobiani (all recommended as house specialties), while delicious, were pretty similar. Next time we come we'll sample the stews and barbecue. As for the restaurant itself, the space was warm and inviting (a lot more so than you’d expect given it’s in a strip mall), and the staff were friendly and helpful and very hands-off, allowing us room to enjoy a leisurely meal in peace. All told, this was a superb experience; it’s little, local-owned restaurants like this that make Cleveland great!”
