In Georgian, the word Shemomechama means something along the lines of ‘I accidentally ate the whole thing’. It’s not hard to overindulge (accidentally or on purpose) with so much delicious food going around. Both Shemomechama restaurants feature an open kitchen, so you can watch your food being prepared. More importantly, the chefs can see the look of ecstasy on your face as you slurp down some of Tbilisi’s best Khinkali. Dumplings are hand-made (as you can see) and boiled to order – totally worth the wait. The grilled meat, classic tomato and cucumber salad, and Chvishtari cornbread (the latter is only available at the Old Town branch) are all top notch. I love the quirky names for the dishes (‘Uneducated Khinkali’, for instance). The Vake restaurant is done up Soviet-style and looks a bit like the milk bar from A Clockwork Orange.
