Oda — Georgian & Mediterranean cuisine

Signature dishes, explained

What to order at a Georgian table — and why.

Adjarian khachapuri

Adjarian khachapuri

€15

The boat-shaped one: bread baked around molten cheese, crowned at the table with an egg yolk and butter. Stir the middle until it becomes a hot cheese cream, then tear the crust and dip. One feeds one hungry swimmer or two reasonable adults. Our most ordered dish, and the reason half our guests found us.

Imeretian khachapuri

Imeretian khachapuri

€13.20

The round, closed khachapuri: two layers of soft dough with a full load of melting Imeretian-style cheese in between, baked until blistered. Less famous than the Adjarian boat, but many regulars swear this is the truer test of a Georgian kitchen. Cut it like a pizza, eat it hot.

Classic khinkali (5 pcs)

Classic khinkali (5 pcs)

€18

Hand-folded dumplings with a peppery meat filling and hot broth sealed inside — count the pleats, that's the folder's signature. Hold one by the stem, bite a corner, drink the broth, then eat. Forks are forbidden by tradition; the stems stay on the plate as your scorecard.

Kharcho soup

Kharcho soup

€13.20

A thick beef soup from western Georgia: rice, ground walnuts, sour tklapi and a slow-built broth that ends up somewhere between soup and stew. Comes to the table hot enough to fog a phone camera. The dish to order when the sea breeze turns cool.

Pkhali assortment

Pkhali assortment

€12

Georgia's answer to meze: spinach, beetroot and other vegetables ground with walnuts, garlic and blue fenugreek, rolled into bites and topped with pomegranate seeds. Fully vegetarian and the right way to open a long dinner — order one plate for the table and tear off some bread.

Eggplant rolls with walnut (badrijani)

Eggplant rolls with walnut (badrijani)

€12

Thin slices of fried eggplant rolled around a cream of walnuts, garlic and Georgian spices, finished with pomegranate. Cold, rich and somehow still light — the starter guests photograph first and finish first.

Lobiani (bean-filled bread)

Lobiani (bean-filled bread)

€9.60

Flatbread filled with slow-cooked, spiced kidney beans — khachapuri's humbler, smokier cousin and a quiet favourite of vegetarians. In Georgia it's what you eat on the road; here it's what you eat when you want comfort without the cheese.

Chicken tabaka

Chicken tabaka

€25.20

A whole young chicken flattened under a weight and fried until the skin crackles, served with garlic sauce. It arrives looking dramatic and disappears looking inevitable. Order it for two with a plate of pkhali and a cold Rkatsiteli.

Lamb shashlik (mangal)

Lamb shashlik (mangal)

€19.80

Lamb marinated the Georgian way and grilled over real coals on the mangal — char outside, juice inside, onions and sauce alongside. The smell reaches the table before the plate does. Add lavash and a glass of Saperavi and you have the whole argument for Georgian grilling.

Medovik honey cake

Medovik honey cake

€6.60

Thin honey layers and sour-cream filling, rested overnight until the cake turns soft as a memory. Made in-house by chef Maya to a family recipe — the reels of it being layered are our most-watched videos, and the slice is the reason to save room.
