Underwhelming Dovga — expected more
I was looking forward to Dovga here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The sweet-sour from fruit character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with chess herbs (dill, parsley, tarragon, mint) or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
tea drinking is a ritual — black tea served in armudu pear-shaped glasses accompanies every social encounter. The a wedding feast setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Xirdalan beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
