Tumanyan Khinkali Factory changed to Khinkali House.
Did they stop the manufacturing?
So the factory is now a house, and the house is now a factory?
Is this one of those āIn Soviet Russiaā¦ā bits?
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 Iāve had. Forgot to take a photo.
Some regulars ordered big platters of pilmeni that Iām 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.
Yes Armenian place . We all eat khigali
I wish some proper Georgians would love here
*move and love
Me too although I think you meant āmoveāā¦
In Georgia, Khachapuri takes on several different formsā¦
Yeah, there are a bunch of kinds of khachapuri, but Iāve never seen or read about one so small and straight, and when I asked what kind it was, the server said she thought only that restaurant makes it like that.
Yes, I believe the real name for this is the ālazy khachapuriā
Seems like something a caterer might come up with to make it finger food.
Most places that have to do a high volume of small ones just do a corner to corner square fold. These guys just rolled it up. Iām sure itās fine and the same. Iām quite used to the small small ones, theyāre nice.
It was actually a fairly fancy pastry, looked to me like more labor per serving than a Penovani.
Anyway just as well they didnāt have Adjaruli, since Iād have had less appetite for the khinkali.
didnāt even know this name!
these guys are most common at all the Armo restaurants we go to.
Have we tried Havlabar in Glendale? Itās on my āto eatā list.
no. i havenāt yet had the pleasure of making my annual trip to Glendale
thanks for thisā¦ this is the only georgian iām aware of here but havenāt lookedā¦ appears to have some dishes iāve never had
Just heard about it on a Good Food podcast from Nov.
