Spice level warning — Pkhali is not what I expected

I underestimated Pkhali. The rich with walnuts and spice description didn't prepare me for the reality. adjika pepper paste 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. Borjomi mineral water 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.
