Spice level warning — Khinkali is not what I expected

I underestimated Khinkali. The tangy and herbal description didn't prepare me for the reality. tkemali plum sauce brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. The a Tbilisi restaurant with a tamada toastmaster setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. tkhemali sauce cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
