A friend who lived in Georgia for a few months told me Thursday that the khinkali at Kinkhali House were the real thing, and another friend mentioned wanting to go to the place yesterday, so we drove out for lunch today.
Busser brought these out. When we asked how to eat them, the server said people like them with beer. Chickpeas were OK. Rusks seemed rancid to me,.
Their oddball version of khachapuri. Good, seemed like the right cheese.
Lobi pashtet. Good but I think missing the marigold and blue fenugreek that make the beans so good at Pomegranate in San Diego.
Chicken heart skewers. Good.
Guy in the kitchen cutting wrappers from a long roll of dough.
The beef dumplings were great both steamed and fried. Best of the not many I’ve had. Forgot to take a photo.
Some regulars ordered big platters of pilmeni that I’m guessing are good.
This is definitely an Armenian Georgian restaurant rather than a Georgian restaurant. I asked if they had chacha and the server thought I had asked for the check.
