Lamb shurpa to start, then khinkali and a kubdari, with beer and Georgian music

Why it’s worth visiting

Good for an unpretentious Georgian dinner in Botanica, with khinkali, khachapuri and hot soups praised by regulars · not everyone is convinced: one review finds the khinkali questionable and the decor from the 90s.

The story

A Georgian pub at Decebal boulevard 80/1, in Botanica, open daily 11:00-22:00, with an Instagram account instead of a website. The good reviews: "the best khinkali I've had in Chisinau, must go place", "delicious khachapuri and good service", "high quality of food and beer"; a returning family recommends the lamb shurpa, "hot broth, rich in the flavor of meat and vegetables, with a slight spiciness", kubdari, "a pastry with cheese on the outside and meat on the inside, a pleasant crunch and juicy meat", and chicken chakhokhbili, "a whole ensemble of flavors", with Georgian music in the background and "colorful decor, pleasing to the eye". One 3-star review sees it differently: "an okay place for Georgian", with a good kharcho, but the khinkali and shurpa "questionable", and "the design and atmosphere are out of the 90's, not bad, but not cozy either".

What visitors wrote
  • “An okay place for Georgian. My Kharcho soup was good, but then the Khinkali and the lamb soup (Shurpa?) were questionable. The design and atmosphere of the place is out of the 90’s. Not bad, but not cozy either. Probably won’t return unless I really have to”
