Saperavi

We came for a weekend dinner with two friends and made the bold decision to arrive without a reservation. Despite this, the staff still managed to accommodate us. We started with the pkhali and pickled vegetables. The pkhali were vibrant, beautifully balanced, and deeply satisfying. The little cornbread served in place of standard bread was a piquant, clever touch. The pickled vegetables deserve special praise: I love pickled everything, but these were on another level, layered with spices and complexity that elevated them. Then came the Adjaruli khachapuri—aka cheese heaven with a golden crust. I couldn’t skip the beef khinkali—my forever favorite—and these were exactly what they should be: beautifully sculpted dumplings, perfectly seasoned, with that glorious hot broth inside bathing the meat. Dessert was the honey cake that was infused with golden honey. Service was incredible throughout. Our server was warm, funny, and attentive without hovering—the rare combination of professional and genuinely delightful.

The khinkali here are incredibly delicious. The meat khinkali have a perfect balance of spice and juiciness, with plenty of broth inside and very flavorful, well-seasoned meat! The cheese khinkali are a great option for those who don’t eat meat. The cheese is rich and tasty, combined with tender dough and green onions inside — a perfect combination. They also have an excellent wine selection, especially the red Georgian wine, which is truly very good. I eat here often and always leave satisfied. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Saperavi is a pretty casual contemporary take on Georgian food. The place itself not very spacious but definitely cozy. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. The menu offers classic Georgian flavors, though, as with any cuisine you know well, some dishes may land better than others depending on personal preference. I really liked spinach and cheese khinkali! Overall, it’s a reasonable place to try Georgian food, especially for those exploring it for the first time.

This is such a special dining experience - intimate, cozy, and perfect for a date night or a small group of 3-4 people. The food was outstanding. The menu has traditional Georgian cuisine with fresh ingredients and a wonderful balance of sweet and savory flavors. The elarji balls were a favorite, and we also tried the potato and mushroom appetizer, which was full of flavor. We had the chicken kebab, which was juicy, cooked perfectly, and paired with grilled vegetables. On top of the amazing food, the service truly elevated the experience. The servers were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful with their recommendations and explanations of the dishes. Dining here felt genuinely lovely from start to finish and I can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely stellar experience at this Georgian restaurant! The food was incredibly flavorful — every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The beef khinkhali were hands down my favorite — perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with rich, delicious flavor. I could have ordered a second round just for myself! Their honey cake also is very good. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended

Just had an incredible meal here! We’ve been to Georgia before and love Georgian cuisine, and I can honestly say the food here is just as authentic and delicious. And our server Soso was friendly, attentive, and guided us with great recommendations. Highly recommended!

Celebrated my husband’s birthday at Saperavi. Our pick was the 2020 Saperavi Reserve from Dugladze Wine Company. Made from Saperavi grapes, Georgia’s signature red variety, grown in the Kakheti region, this wine leans dry and bold with dark cherry and blackcurrant, a bit of smoke, and a subtle oak vanilla note from time in French oak. Firm tannins and a medium-long, warming finish. ABV 14.5%. We paired the wine with chicken skewers, veal stew, and beef dumplings. Everything was delicious and the wine held up to every dish. Such a lovely night, and shoutout to Sarge, our server, for being so friendly and hospitable!

The food all tasted marvelous…!! Even without prior knowledge with Georgian food I was able to truly enjoy all the food.. It’s really that good. Also the staff members are all really warm and welcoming, that truly adds to the experience as well in case anyone is wondering (by order): - eggplant roll - chicken tabaka - adjaruli (khachapuri) - honey cake (MUST GET) I would confidently recommend all four dishes; so excited to come for more!!
