I'd been stuck in a food delivery rut, but Pahvali, a Georgian restaurant, caught my eye on a Saturday. Was it worth the hype? Let's dive in.
The Ambiance: Cozy and Welcoming
Pahvali's interior was exactly what I expected from a Georgian restaurant: cozy and inviting. The warm atmosphere put me at ease right away, and I knew I was in for a treat. Traditional Georgian elements added to the overall vibe, making it feel authentic and tasteful.
The Service: Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Attentive
The staff at Pahvali were absolute sweethearts. They were friendly, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciated their enthusiasm and passion for the food they served, and they made excellent recommendations.
The Restrooms: A Pleasant Surprise
The restrooms at Pahvali were a nice surprise – spotless and stylish. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the fact that they were well-maintained. It's always a good sign when a restaurant takes pride in its facilities.
The Food: A Mixed Bag
I ordered the shashlik, a staple in Georgian cuisine, but it was a bit of a letdown. The meat was tough, and I was chewing for what felt like an eternity. The vinegar taste wasn't ideal either.
However, the second dish – a chicken liver salad with a cloudberry sauce – was a total game-changer. The flavors were spot on, and it was incredibly satisfying. I was impressed by the creativity and attention to detail that went into preparing this dish.
The Verdict
I'd definitely recommend Pahvali for its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Just be careful what you order – the shashlik wasn't my favorite. The total bill for two came out to be around $2,500, which I thought was very reasonable.
I'll definitely be back, but I'll be ordering something other than shashlik next time.
