Ojakhuri - In English it means "family style". This is a definitely one of the best pork dishes. It is made with a pork meat, potato, paprika, onion, coriander and of course some Georgian spices for great flavor.

Shqmeruli - If you like garlic and chicken as well, then you should try this particular dish. I think this is a great combination of chicken and garlic with some Georgian spices. Also, some restaurants additionally may add some sour cream, it is makes the taste of garlic softer.

Chicken with walnuts - If you don't like garlic, but still want some chicken dish, then you can find another delicious version, like chicken with walnuts sauce, and of course for unique, taste some Georgian spices.

Cucumber and tomato salad with walnuts - simple, delicious and fresh! Also what you will find in Georgian cuisine, all the ingredients are always organic and fresh! We use lot's of walnuts, coriander and spices but not very spicy!

Pkhali - it is spinach, again with walnuts and Georgian spices, plus some pomegranate. Usually in the restaurants, they serve Pkhali in few different variation, like spinach and also with beetroots leaves.
Tip: If in the serving they don't add Cornbread, ask them to bring it separately, because it is very good with Pkhali

Churchkhela - Georgian candy, not very sweet, because it is without sugar, only natural fructose from grapes juice. It is very energizing! I know, it looks like candle or sausage, but it is not. 🙂 Made with flour, grape juice and walnuts/hazelnuts. Different colors of Churchkhela mean different types of Grapes or fruits, but don't forget, the original one, made only with grapes! Very good and healthy snack if you are hiking or you're hungry and there is no restaurant close to you, one Churchkhela will be enough to be full for 1-2 hours.
