Badageoni

The best thing on the menu at Badageoni, a Georgian restaurant in Mount Kisco, is the adjaruli khachapuri: the country’s national dish, which consists of a soft, oval-shaped bread vessel filled with cheese, butter, and an egg. But the menu here rewards exploration, and the staff are excited to introduce you to some less obvious menu items. So on that note, we think you can skip the khinkali, and save room for some of the heartier plates, like their excellent chakapuli, a tender lamb slow-cooked in white whine broth with tarragon and sour plums. The space has a warm and inviting energy despite straightforward décor, which is just the right backdrop to soak in the Georgian pop music playing overhead.
