"Laliko, a Georgian place in the West Village, has three chefs: an executive chef, a khachapuri chef, and a khinkali chef, who is presumably responsible for the Mother Khinkali (one giant dumpling, with six dumplings inside it). In addition to their wide selection of cheesy breads and dumplings, the restaurant also serves traditional Georgian beef stew, grilled pork skewers, and sausage with celery root purée. The cocktail program is centered around the Georgian spirit chacha, and they have plenty of Georgian wines as well." - will hartman, bryan kim
