"Keipi is a restaurant in the Hampton Station development in Greenville, South Carolina, offering family-style Georgian cuisine. The restaurant is a nonprofit, with profits supporting its parent organization, First Things Foundation (FTF). The concept of keipi involves a tamada leading a series of toasts throughout the meal, which can include laughter, tears, poetry, or song. The menu features traditional Georgian dishes like khachapuri, khinkali, mtsvadi, stuffed grape leaves, beet salad, charcuterie, and mushrooms. Keipi also serves Georgian wines and offers a cocktail program that highlights ingredients from FTF's locations worldwide.
