Miami's best spots for khachapuri, khinkali, kebabs, and lots more.

Georgian food does not come up a lot in conversations about eating in Miami. But it should be—especially when you’re around the northeasternmost part of Dade County. Georgian food includes some wonderful things like kebabs, herbaceous stews and soups, garlicky walnut dip, enormous dumplings, cheese-stuffed bread, and incredible wine. Here are some good Georgian restaurants in Miami (featuring one Broward spot just over the county line).

The only thing that we don’t like about this North Miami spot is the harsh LED lighting that reminds us of that moment when they turn the house lights on in a club. But the food here is very solid—and we like the pkhali dip platter (order some homemade bread for it), lula kebab, khinkali dumplings, and excellent adjaruli khachapuri that they mix tableside for you. But the one dish that stands out the most here is the kharcho, a beefy tomato and rice soup with a complex mixture of spices and herbs. Together with a cheesy khachapuri, it tastes like a more satisfying (and flavorful) grilled cheese and tomato soup. You should absolutely finish with the Kavkaz dessert: thin slices of sponge holding together globs of whipped cream, caramelized condensed milk, meringue, and walnuts.

This Hallandale Beach restaurant is an absolute blast. Even on a random Wednesday, it feels like a party. Most of the festivities happen outside on the lush patio, where there’s a DJ, bar, and grill. But even if you sit inside, the staff may come in to serenade you with Russian ballads they’ve remixed with lyrics about their restaurant. If that doesn’t make you smile, go see a doctor. The food here is solid. The khinkali—big dumplings filled with juicy ground meat—are some of our favorite dumplings around. The adjaruli khachapuri is decent. However, their lobio—a spicy kidney bean stew—is excellent.

This Sunny Isles spot specializes in the food of Armenia, which borders Georgia. There is some overlap between what you’ll find here and the other restaurants on this list. But stick to the Armenian specialties. We found out the hard way that cheesy breads are more of a Georgian thing. Nonetheless, you should definitely order the lahmajun—a ground meat flatbread that you finish with a squeeze of lemon juice before rolling up and devouring it. The tolma (stuffed grape leaves) are the best we’ve tried in South Florida: warm, meaty, and full of dill flavor. The lula kebab here is good but not what you should be ordering. Instead, get the excellent osetra sturgeon kebab.
