Arriving at Mandarin Restaurant in the sleepy Khaketian town of Dedoplistskaro, you will probably be greeted with loud dancing, endless toasts of local qvevri wine, and warmth. Locals from the town regularly celebrate their supras here so expect to be invited for many glasses of wine and hospitality. The family-run restaurant is a place where locals and tourists meet to enjoy an evening of feasting.

Aside from the lively atmosphere, Mandarin also offers delicious Georgian foods: creamy tomato, cucumber, and walnut salad, juicy barbequed meats, tender garlic chicken and rich kharcho soup. When you have finished feasting, you can enjoy an evening of traditional dance with the locals or sing karaoke until the early hours. The staff at Mandarin are especially friendly and speak excellent English.
