The Georgian is a family run restaurant at 27 Balham Hill, close to Clapham South station. Its welcoming dining room serves food from breakfast into the evening, introducing the generous flavours and hospitality of Georgia through bread, dumplings, vegetables, soups, meat and wine.
Khachapuri is a central attraction, with cheese filled bread served in several regional styles, including the boat shaped Adjaruli version topped with egg and butter. Khinkali dumplings are made with meat or cheese fillings, while lobiani and cornbread provide further ways to explore the bakery side of the menu.
Starters make extensive use of walnuts, herbs and vegetables, from aubergine rolls and spinach pâté to beetroot, beans and Georgian salad. Soups such as kharcho and borsch lead into chicken with garlic sauce, mtsvadi, slow cooked stews, grilled meat and substantial vegetable dishes.
Georgian wine complements the distinctive use of herbs, fruit and spice across the food. Breakfast dishes, vegetarian choices and sweet pancakes broaden the restaurant’s appeal, while the combination of sharing starters, fresh bread and traditional mains makes it rewarding for groups exploring the cuisine together.
