Stary Tbilisi

Kazakhstan


Khachapuri (Georgian bread with melted sulguni cheese), chicken satsivi (in walnut sauce), lobio (hot, fragrant bean dish) and other Georgian favourites are present and correct. Clichéd name aside, the food is very good; be prepared for a leisurely evening if you order the shashlyk.
