There are a couple Georgian restaurants in the Bay Area, in Palo Alto and Los Altos.
- cpursley 3y agoThe entire Georgian cuisine is just so good and relatively unknown in the West.
- BuyMyBitcoins 3y agoI just learned about it through this thread and there are already several dishes I want to try. Khachapuri and Chashushuli in particular.
- smcl 3y agoTheir wine is also really worth checking out too. They use a few grape varieties aren't really used outside of Georgia and some of the wine is still stored/aged in big earthenware things called "kvevri" which are pretty unique - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvevri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvevri Oh and they'll also ferment + distill the solids from wine production into chacha - a strong clear spirit. When I was there lots of little shops would be selling it pretty cheap in leftover coke bottles etc. I smuggled a few back with me to share with friends.
- Gunnerhead 3y agoI know I can easily Google this, but if anyone stumbles upon my comment and can recommend a delicious place serving it in NYC please let me know.

- Gunnerhead 3y agoThanks to your comment we ended up eating there yesterday. We had the Ajaruli Khachapuri, Megruli, and Chicken Skewers. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for recommending!
- Tommstein 3y agoNo problem! Megruli is my favorite, I don't think theirs can be finished by one person in one sitting.
