7 people dined on a Saturday evening in March so there was a wide array of food. I like the idea of eating typical indigenous food so for my first course I selected the ispanakhi which is a steamed spinach puree served with walnuts, herbs garlic and vinegar and costing £8. It was a cold dish but rather pleasant which defied me having muscles like Popeye. My main course was chanacki which consists of lamb, aubergine, potato, onions, tomatoes and herbs served as a stew with a distinct hint of paprika which came with bread costing £15.95. There was a feeling of a Hungarian influence in this meal but well worth the experience. Our choice of wine was Chateau Mukhrani Queuri 2018 Georgian at 13.5% volume. I recommend this red wine as it went well with the meal and had a smooth taste. I gave it 7/10. N.B. All wines are of Georgian origin with a distinct French feeling. The dessert I chose was something I have never tried before. Again it was typical Georgian called pelamushi but consisted of it being a pudding with grape juice topped with walnuts. (They must like walnuts in Georgia). I don 't know what to make of this pudding, it tasted so different but did me no harm. £5.95 if you want to make your own opinion. Overall a thoroughly pleasant evening, fairly full but the 2 waitresses were busy which made service a little slow. 2 small toilets at the back of the restaurant but a good selection of all Georgian wines.
