Ojakhuri

Ojakhuri at this place was fine. The nutty and aromatic flavour was there but not distinguished. blue fenugreek was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. Georgia claims one of the world's oldest conti…

I've now had Ojakhuri prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises tkemali plum sauce in the way Georgia claims one of the world's oldest continuous wine-making traditions dating back 8000 years. The tangy and herbal character is mor…

I underestimated Ojakhuri. The tangy and herbal description didn't prepare me for the reality. sulguni cheese brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Georgia claims one of the world's oldest continuous w…

I ate Ojakhuri at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of blue fenugreek varied significantly — only one got it right. The tangy and herbal profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. the Georgian supra feast is a ritual…

I was looking forward to Ojakhuri here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The tangy and herbal character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with walnut paste or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. the Georgian supra feast is a ritua…

Having eaten Ojakhuri at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The tangy and herbal quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. adjika pepper paste is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a wine cellar di…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ojakhuri made with real commitment to walnut paste and technique. The nutty and aromatic result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with forma…

Some dishes exist to comfort and Ojakhuri is absolutely in that category. The nutty and aromatic quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. adjika pepper paste does work that no substitute can replicate. the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with forma…

I had never tried Ojakhuri before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The nutty and aromatic taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. walnut paste is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before. The a Tbilisi restaurant with a…

Ojakhuri here was solidly made — tangy and herbal without anything to complain about. tkemali plum sauce was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toast…
