Kinkally is a contemporary Georgian restaurant at 43 Charlotte Street in Fitzrovia. Its cooking begins with the food of Georgia and moves through influences from Europe, Asia and the Middle East, presenting familiar traditions with a modern sense of detail. The intimate dining room encourages a shared meal, while the downstairs Bar Kinky offers a darker cocktail setting later in the evening.
Khinkali are at the centre of the experience. These handmade Georgian dumplings arrive with delicate pleats and a savoury broth inside, so diners can hold the top and sip before eating the filling. The changing selection may include combinations such as Wagyu beef, pumpkin, pheasant with mushroom or langoustine, showing how the kitchen moves between classic comfort and more inventive seasonal ingredients.
Sharing dishes extend the menu beyond dumplings. Pkhali brings vegetables together with walnuts and Georgian seasoning, while aubergine with satsebeli sauce, rabbit pâté, lamb chashuli and prawn dolma demonstrate a wider range of textures and techniques. Menus change with the season, allowing vegetables, meat and seafood to receive equal attention across a progression of smaller and larger plates.
The wine list focuses on organic and low intervention bottles from small Georgian producers, including wines made in traditional clay qvevri vessels. Their structure and character are well suited to the herbs, spice and richness of the food. Cocktails in Bar Kinky provide a more theatrical finish, making Kinkally both a thoughtful introduction to Georgian cuisine and a distinctive Fitzrovia night out.
