About Georgia & Cuisine
Is Georgian cuisine all about cheese?
While cheese is central to dishes like Khachapuri, Georgian cuisine is much more diverse. You'll find a variety of meat, vegetable, and grain-based dishes that showcase the richness of our culinary traditions.
Are your ingredients imported?
Yes, we source many of our specialty ingredients, including spices and wines, directly from Georgia to ensure authenticity in every dish.
What are some must-try dishes at Saperav
What is the origin of Khachapuri?
Khachapuri, Georgia’s famous cheese bread, has its roots in different regions of Georgia, each offering its own variation. Whether it's the Adjaruli (boat-shaped) or Imeruli (round) version, it's a must-try dish.
Can I pair Georgian wine with non-Georgian cuisine?
Definitely! Georgian wines, with their unique flavor profiles, pair beautifully with various international dishes. Try a Saperavi with grilled meats or a Rkatsiteli with seafood.
What makes Georgian wine so special?
Georgia is considered the birthplace of wine, with evidence of winemaking dating back over 8,000 years. Our traditional winemaking methods, including the use of qvevri (large clay vessels), create wines with unique flavors and a deep connection to history.
What is the significance of a supra in Georgian culture?
A supra is a traditional Georgian feast that’s more than just a meal—it's a celebration of life, family, and community. It’s where food, wine, and heartfelt toasts bring people together.
Is Georgian cuisine spicy?
Georgian cuisine is rich in flavors, thanks to a blend of herbs and spices, but it's generally not spicy-hot. Instead, it’s aromatic and full of depth.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Yelp Jillian B.Verified My husband and I finally had the opportunity to check out Saperavi... and boy oh boy was it worth it! We got the eggplant rolls, adjaruli, and crispy pork ribs. Eggplant rolls were smaller than expected, however the walnut sauce was so rich that we felt it was the perfect starter. The adjaruli is probably my favorite that I've had in the city.. cheesy and rich, and the bread was perfectly crunchy around the edges. By the time the ribs came we were stuffed, but they were delicious. It was a lot of food so we did end up taking some leftovers home, but it was super delicious!Posted on Yelp Debbie F.Verified Food: My friend and I shared the megruli khachapuri and the shkmeruli. Both were absolutely delicious. The latter was outstanding. I was only visiting town for a few days, but have already told my friend that I want to go back! Ambience: Even for a bistro, the tables seemed crammed together too much, but maybe that's just how it is during the very cold weather; there's room to expand in a covered outdoor section. But it's overall a small place, tight fit. Service: Extremely good. Wait staff very attentive and pleasant.Posted on Yelp Chelsea G.Verified Sergio is a fantastic waiter, we loved his attentiveness, his kindness, the conversation that he made with us. It was our first time tasting Georgian food and it really added to our experience. We learned more about the food and its beginnings, and we enjoyed how the food tasted. Would go here again !!Posted on Yelp Wendy S.Verified Fantastic food, even better than Chama Mama. Lovely staff. Try their cheese breads and request their house-made hot sauce.Posted on Yelp Jake B.Verified Really fantastic Georgian food we found on a whim. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The khachapuri was truly delicious, and so were the beef dumplings. We loved the eggplant salad as well. Would return in a heartbeat!Posted on Yelp Casey W.Verified - personable staff, was very helpful when ordering since it was our first time having Georgian food - come starving, the portions are generous and very hearty; great for a cold winter meal - bring all your cheese loving friends, i don't think i've ever eaten that much cheese in one sitting before - I wish the khachapuri had higher dough to cheese ratio but both were amazing - I absolutely love that every culture has their own take on dumplings, so of course we had to try their khinkali. being asian, the dough was too thick for me, I'd likely pass on these the next time just because there are so many other things I'd like to try on their menuPosted on Yelp Ghizlane A.Verified Georjan is awesome! Cozy, welcoming, and the food is next-level delicious. Highly recommend! Georjan is awesome! Cozy, welcoming, and the food is next-level delicious. Highly recommend!Posted on Yelp Soumya D.Verified Amazing Khachapuri. The food was phenomenal and the portions were massive. We definitely over ordered haha!! We were seated at the bar and were given the best service from the staff at Saperavi. Many of the menu items are vegetarian friendly too which is a huge bonus. Can't wait to come back and check out more of their dishes!Posted on Yelp Sandra D.Verified Food was amazing and so was our waiter, Tato, at this great new Georgian gem stop. A great new Georgian gem on the UES!Posted on Yelp Alyssa N.Verified Wonderful service, food was fantastic. So happy this gem opened right on my block! Back patio and indoor vibes are great.
