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 in Miami and are flavored with caraway. The adjaruli khachapuri is decent but not as mind-blowing as other versions in South Florida. The same can be said about the kharcho. However, their lobio—a spicy kidney bean stew—is one of our favorite legume dishes in town.
