★ 5Great spot for excellent food near the waterfront/Pike Place area. The self service kiosk was easy to navigate, and the food arrived fairly quickly. Ample seating on a weekday at lunchtime.
The “bread boat” itself was outstanding. Delicious flavors (I got the stroganoff- lovely mushroomy/onion tasting) and the chewy bread crust was especially yummy. Great little gem of a restaurant that’s only slightly off the beaten path. -

★ 5I'd never had khachapuri before (nor any Georgian) food, but the pictures of these looked absolutely divine.
I can confirm it lives up to the imagesnnAn adjaruli khachapuri is a bread boat with a lot of cheese - that's then baked and an egg yolk and butter are added. If that sounds really good, you should know it tastes very good as well. After some internal debate, I got the spinach version.
This is just a fantastic concept. The bread boat perfectly encapsulates everything, making it so easy to tear off a piece and dip it in the center. Because of how its baked perfectly, the internal area is neither too liquidy nor too hard; on the contrary, it's gooey and hot. At first, I was worried that tearing off a last-barrier piece would result in the cheese flowing onto the plate, but instead it oozed out of the opening slowly and gently.
Sometimes food isn't complicated. When you have a lot of cheese, egg yolk, and butter - it's basically impossible for it not to taste good. But you can overdo it sometimes, and they did a great job with the restraint here - nothing is excessive. The spinach also really helps tone down the fattiness of everything else with a grassy flavor.
I could honestly eat the bread by itself. Even it was great.
The only minor complaint I have is that it could've used a little more salt, but that's about it. I'd be really excited to try the meat-based versions of this dish the next time I come here.
For around $17, this is a little expensive - but it's also very filling as a lunchnnThis clearly is a case where a restaurant that only makes one thing has basically perfected that dish.
Overall, a highly unique and satisfying comfort food that I'm very happy to show people to. 8.75/10 -

★ 4Georgian spot serving khachapuri (something like baked bread boats). The classic one is cheese, butter, and soft egg yolk, which is my favorite but also tried the veggie and beef-stroganoff options.
The food is ideal for winter nights, the meal is hot and comforting, though a bit heavy for my taste.
The atmosphere is very casual with limited seating, so takeout is an excellent option -

★ 5Absolutely delicious. The bread was so warm and soft. The cheese and spinach was comforting. The butter was abundant. Everything was just perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I got mine without the yolk, and I was happy with my experience.🥰
