Hand-pleated dumplings filled with spiced meat and a rich broth. Reviewers call this a must-try Georgian dish. The broth bursts when you bite down - locals recommend leaving the tail and holding the dumpling by the pleats.
Tips from diners
Hold khinkali by the pleated tail - don't eat the tail itself. Bite a small hole and sip the hot broth inside before eating the dumpling.

Tips from diners
The cheese pull is perfect for sharing and photographing. Tear off pieces of bread, dip into the molten cheese.
