Georgian food is one of the country’s biggest treasures — rich, flavorful, and made to bring people together. Whether you're new in Georgia or just exploring local tastes, here are 7 delicious Georgian dishes you must try!
There are different types, but Adjarian Khachapuri is the star: boat-shaped bread filled with melted cheese, a runny egg, and a big spoonful of butter. Tear off the crust, dip it in the cheese… pure heaven!
Juicy, flavorful dumplings filled with meat, herbs, or mushrooms. Pick them up by the top, take a bite, sip the broth inside, and enjoy! Locals say: don’t eat the top knot — it’s a handle, not food.
A hearty, traditional dish made from red beans, garlic, and herbs, often served in a clay pot with pickled vegetables and cornbread (mchadi). It's budget-friendly, vegetarian, and super satisfying.
Chunks of marinated meat grilled on a skewer over open fire. Usually served with fresh bread, onions, and pomegranate seeds. Simple, smoky, and full of flavor.
A colorful mix of spinach, beets, or eggplant blended with walnuts, garlic, and herbs. Topped with pomegranate seeds. Healthy, vegan-friendly, and surprisingly tasty!
A tomato-based stew made with chicken, onions, herbs, and spices. Comfort food at its best — warm, rich, and perfect on a rainy day.
Georgia is the birthplace of wine, with an 8,000-year history of winemaking. Try local varieties like Saperavi or Rkatsiteli — and don’t miss a wine-tasting experience!
Most Georgian food is affordable and made to share, so go out with friends and try several dishes at once! Many traditional restaurants also offer vegetarian and halal-friendly options.
From street food to home-style feasts, Georgian cuisine is an experience in itself.
