"After visiting Aba-Ra!, the exclamation mark makes sense. Groups do brandy shots at 1pm on weekdays. Influencers, drawn to the Georgian spot by the promise of arm-span cheese pulls, pose under the neon sign. And kindly staff lead you off Brick Lane and into seats beside chalkboard walls scrawled with graffiti tags. The comforting food has the same warm, irreverent sense of fun as the restaurant—soups with little bread lids and meat feast khachapuris." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
