Saperavi
Caucasian in Botanica · khinkali, khachapuri and grill, with prices in the delivery menu on the site
Khinkali in portions of three and khachapuri out of the oven, with the grill alongside · prices are in the delivery menu on the site
Worth it for a Caucasian table with a Georgian core: khachapuri hot from the oven, chakapuli and khinkali are praised by name in reviews, and for 10 to 15 people one reviewer recommends booking the booth in the inside room. Service is described as slow, if attentive. Be careful with delivery · a two star review describes an Adjarian khachapuri without a proper yolk and unsalted mushrooms, with no cutlery and no napkins in the bag, and part of the order thrown away. The prices published on the site are the delivery menu · the dine-in menu is only scanned images, so prices at the table may differ.
Saperavi in Botanica is the Caucasian restaurant at Independenței 36/1, 3.7 km from the centre in a straight line, one of the four Saperavi addresses listed on the site, alongside Ștefan cel Mare 182, Miron Costin 13/1 and Ion Creangă 66. The delivery menu on the site is Caucasian, Georgian at its core, and prices every dish: khinkali at 29 lei apiece in portions of three, Tbilisi, Megrelian or Adjarian khachapuri between 135 and 150 lei, kubdari at 155, chakapuli and chakhokhbili at 165 to 170, kharcho and shurpa among the soups, and on the grill mtsvadi and lyulya kebab from 125 lei, with a 1.5 kg set at 750. Dishes that are not Georgian sit on the same menu, zama at 75 lei, lamb samsa at 95 and cheburek at 85. Saperavi white, red and rosé are 180 lei, the Georgian Shumi and Iberiuli labels run 350 to 600. Five star reviews mention khachapuri straight out of the oven and portions that fill you up before the mains, and one recommends booking the booth in the inside room for groups of 10 to 15. A four star review praises chakapuli and khinkali by name but calls the service slow, if attentive. The bad part comes from delivery: a two star review describes an Adjarian khachapuri without a proper yolk and unsalted mushrooms with suluguni, with no cutlery and no napkins in the bag, and part of the order went in the bin. Google gives 11:00 to 23:00 every day for the Botanica address, while the site shows a single opening line, 11:00 to 22:00, shared by all four addresses and printed next to the delivery number · for a reservation, 079-142-142.

“The food was just AMAZING. Utterly delicious and absolutely filling. Couldn't stop eating. Great atmosphere and the cutlery was also very stylish and great to look at.”
“For a big group (10-15) I recommend making a reservation in the “booth” that you can find in the inside area of the restaurant. Delicious food, from starters to main course to dessert. The traditional cheese bread (khachapuri), freshly out of the oven, is TO DIE FOR. Be careful with it because it’s quite heavy and you might get full before you get to the mains. If you don’t kno…”
“My top recommendation for genuine Georgian cuisine lovers in city of Chisinau, one of the most delicious dishes in Caucasian style, no matter what you ordering you will enjoy and for sure want to come back again. My Respect to chef for their attitude and dishes preparation.”
