Kusht (Georgian & Armenian Kitchen)

Kusht splits the difference between two kitchens. The Georgian side offers khachapuri (Imeruli, Megruli, Adjarian), khinkali in boiled and fried versions, and showstoppers like Chkmeruli (chicken in walnut sauce, 3100 AMD). The Armenian side runs to cheese appetizers (Lori chanakh, assorted matsun), soups (Kharcho, Chkhrtma), and braised meats—Ojakhuri, Ostri, Panrkhash around 2600–2950 AMD. Pastas are Italian-leaning (Carbonara, Bolognese Armenian-style). Breakfasts are straightforward omelets and syrniki. Desserts are homemade gata, sometimes with dried fruit. Wine list is modest but local (Koor, Tus, Zoè). Lemonades are house-made. The room is relaxed, neighbourhood-friendly. Expect to spend 5500 AMD per head for lunch with a drink.

Things to note: Service can be slow during lunch. No English menu posted; ask staff for clarification. Limited vegetarian hot dishes beyond salads and dough.
