An excellent choice for a different kind of food experience. The Khachapuri are perfect for sharing and there is something for everyone on the menu. Personally I would recommend getting a few appetizers to share, a soup or salad, and a khachapuri to share. Bigger eaters should add a main dish. Prices are very reasonable and the fact that the restaurant has been around for 10 years says something.
