A veritable labyrinth of tables, booths and private rooms, this underground restaurant manages to be simultaneously cavernous and cosy. One hall has a stage at the end of the room, allowing customers to enjoy traditional live music and watch as Georgian diners, infused with beer and patriotism, take to the dance floor and exhibit a famous national talent.

The jolly noise of music and diners enthusiastically guzzling beer and devouring the dish for which the restaurant is named contribute to an atmosphere that manages to be hearty but not overwhelming. Even in the loudest room the booths maintain a feeling of privacy, but quieter areas in the multi-floored restaurant can be occupied at need. As the name suggests, this restaurant produces some of the finest khinkali of various types in the city, but a host of other dishes (Georgian and otherwise) are also on the menu.
