Honest verdict on Chakapuli — good but not exceptional

Chakapuli here was solidly made — complex and distinctive without anything to complain about. walnut paste was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. The a Tbilisi restaurant with a tamada toastmaster atmosphere was pleasant enough. chacha grape pomace spirit was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Chakapuli this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
