A duo of charming Georgian spots—one a licensed, retro dining room in Islington, the other a cozy BYOB café in Hackney—both celebrated for their vintage decor and heart-warming comfort food.
Ordering Strategy
Order 'supra' style (sharing plates) for the table. Definitely get a Khachapuri to start. If visiting Hackney, bring your own wine.
What to order
Khachapuri
This baked-to-order, moreish cheese-filled bread is a national staple of Georgia; critics insist you should not 'even think about not ordering' it.
Chashushuli
A 'rich' and 'highly seasoned' beef stew that serves as a substantial, filling main course.
Kotnis lobio
Singled out as a 'personal favourite main,' this bean goulash-style dish is described as an exquisite and underrated example of Georgian comfort food.

Good to know
There are two locations with different vibes: Islington is spacious, licensed, and good for groups; Hackney is smaller, intimate, and BYOB.
