Khinkali House - Review - Glendale - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Din Tai Fung isn’t the only dumpling house in Glendale you need to be aware of. Khinkali House is home to a traditional Georgian soup dumpling (khinkali) that comes either boiled or fried (go the boiled route) and stuffed with Georgian cheese, ground beef, or spinach and mushrooms. You should order one each. A single dumpling for $4 might seem steep, but these are as big as hacky sacks. It will only take a few to fill you up. Also, the quiet patio tucked behind a big building is ideal for a low-key date night before catching a movie at Americana across the street." - Brant Cox

This is our favorite spot with my husband in Glendale. The meat is juicy, the khinkali are delicious, the borscht is perfectly cooked and flavorful, as well as the potatoes, lamb, and beef. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a great meal. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Today I visited this place for the first time. I definitely give it 5 stars. The food is delicious. The khinkali is really tasty. I have tried it many times in Georgia. But yes, to my surprise, it is worth it. The price is great! The service is great, unfortunately I don’t know the name of our waiter, but he was very attentive and wonderful. Personally, I will definitely come back and recommend it to my loved ones!

I really enjoyed visiting this place. Khinkalis were exactly like in Georgia, very delicious. Khachapuri was a bit small, but with very good cheese. Lemonade was awesome! Our table was served by a very friendly young lady Irina. She made everything for our visit to be comfortable, so we really had a very great time there.

Really a gem of Georgian and Caucasus food in LA. At first I was skeptical that it will be good, but from the first moment, all my doubts disappeared like a nightmare upon awakening. The service was great, the waitress was spunky and fun, prompt, attentive, but not overly intrusive, we were free to carry out social conversation…. The food was savory and well-prepared, full of Georgian flavors…. Khinkali, the namesake dish, was juicy, aromatic and the dough was just perfect. This place is great, if you are after these delicacies. Thank you!

Feels more like a tapas place than a dinner place, but the food was pretty good and service was incredibly fast! I recommend the sturgeon skewer. The dumplings tasted very good boiled rather than fried, especially the mushroom one! I tried the khachapuri on the grill and it was just okay and definitely overpriced. Sumac fries came without sumac and were overcooked (very dry), but if you really want to try them, please ask the server if there will actually be sumac added (receipt said "fries -no sumac" even though we never requested without sumac). Chocolate cake was likewise fine.

I was invited here for a birthday party in a private room. The waitress was very attentive and understanding, and the atmosphere was nice. The food was absolutely amazing - I loved every single dish! Definitely recommend this place for private parties.

I might be biased to this place since I grew up eating Khinkali, but this place does make very tasty Khinkali. Stick to the original steamed ground beef, they are the best! For those who have not tried khinkali before, do not let the juice from inside go to waste! There is a specific way to eat them. Use your fork to hold them from the edge and bite a hole into the khinkali, then drink the juice inside before eating the rest. Also, I love putting some butter over them to melt and sprinkling some black pepper as well.

We happened on this restaurant while wandering around Glendale. The decor looked nice so we went in. Turns out they serve Georgian/Armenian food. After telling our server that I don’t eat carbohydrates, I ordered the recommended Osetrina (sturgeon) Skewer and was told they would substitute salad for the potatos. My companion ordered the Lamb Chops. When our food arrived, the portions were very small. I had a medium sized piece of fish on a skewer, resting on a leaf of lettuce and 3 crinkle cut slices of potato. I didn’t receive the substituted salad. My companion received 2 lamb chops and the same garnish. Had we known that the portions would be so small, we would have ordered more. The meat and fish were delicious but we left still hungry.

Being new to this city, I was curious if there was any Georgian cuisine around. Found this restaurant through Google, and it didn't disappoint! The khinkali were absolutely authentic and delicious. The staff was super friendly, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend--definitely worth trying!

Just left this place . We're in LA with visiting and want to try some Georgian food. Googled this place by reviews. First there was zero ppl to welcome us when we came and waiter who was near just told us to sit where we wanted. After 10 min waiting our waiter finally showed up. Khinkali were not bad . But kids didn't like it so we ordered pelmeni. Also were bbq in order :pork (nobody told us it will not be clear meat,it were bid bones and nobody eat them ),chicken breast(was not juicy and not tasty) and beef (this was really tasty and soft). Waiter just forget about us and that we added pelmeni to our order bc when we asked to bring them since it very long waiting ,she run to kitchen and when came back said they are off. Seriously ? Waiting 20 minutes to hear that you don't have them ? This is not Georgian hospitality Not recommended this place

My husband and I recently visited Khinkali House after hearing good things about their khinkali. Overall, our experience was enjoyable, with some standout moments. We started our meal with a pickled vegetable medley that included pickles, cabbage, green tomato, cauliflower, and carrots. Unfortunately, the dish was too salty for my taste, so it wasn't a favorite of mine. Next, we tried the Khachapuri, a traditional Georgian cheese bread. It was our first time trying it, and we were impressed. The dough was soft and perfectly baked, with a generous amount of flavorful cheese inside - a delicious start to our meal. Finally, we moved on to the main event: khinkali. We decided to try both boiled and fried versions. My husband preferred the boiled khinkali, while I found the fried version to have a better taste. The meat filling was tasty, and the broth inside each dumpling was flavorful. One thing to note: the waiter asked if we wanted sour cream or butter with our khinkali, and we decided to try both. However, we were surprised to find that these were extra charges on our bill, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. While I didn't mind paying for the sour cream, I mentioned that we didn't touch the butter, and the waiter kindly removed it from our bill. She was very attentive throughout our meal, checking in on us several times to make sure we were satisfied. To finish, I ordered an Armenian coffee, which was quite nice, though nothing extraordinary. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and while we chose to sit inside, the outdoor area looked inviting, especially for an evening visit. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and are considering trying their pelmeni on our next visit.

Came here with my gf on a Monday night --thought we'd give it a try since we pass by this place often. While the food was quite good and the restaurant itself was clean, the service left something to be desired. After our initial order, it seemed like the waitress forgot about us since l had asked for some ice water and l had to call over a different waiter to get some. Our orders of beef and salmon skewers took quite some time to come out, not sure why. The Khinkalis were delicious --my gf liked the mushroom and l really liked the cheese one. The bill took some time to get to us, but l know some of that might have been because l decided to add on to my order. Still, it always felt like l was waiting on someone or something which was quite irritating. Had these issues not been present, this would have been an easy 4 or 5 star rating. Still better than Castaway but l think it will be awhile before l consider coming back here unfortunately.

Dinner night with the family here. I tried their zhyangalov hats, cheese khinkali (fried), and mushroom khinkali (boiled), and we got a Mediterranean salad to share. Salad was good; refreshing and not over salted/seasoned. The zhyangalov hats was ok; I ordered it only because they were sold out on the khachapouri (which I def want to try next time). I thought there was more bread than greens (personal preference). The khinkali were great though. Fried cheese is the only way to go for the cheese and was an excellent pair to the boiled mushroom. Mushroom was deliciously juicy and very well seasoned (almost a little bit too much salt but the dumpling dough adjusted for it). The cheese was excellent. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night, with very few open tables and a bit loud/rowdy. Our waitress was really kind and patient the whole evening. Food came out reasonably paced (the khinkali was the slowest component). Def would come again. I'd do a redo of the khinkali and hopefully try the khachapouri next time.

Last week, my wife and I decided to try something new and visited an Armenian restaurant for the first time. We were so impressed that I felt like I had to leave a review. First off, the staff was wonderful, especially our server Anastacia. She was very attentive, helpful, and gave us great recommendations on the best dishes on the menu. We tried the borscht, and it was hands down the best soup I've ever had. We also had khinkali--both fried with cheese and boiled with meat. The fried ones with cheese were especially good--the cheese was melted, and it was just delicious. And the lamb chops were also great, though the portion could be a bit bigger. It would be nice if they added some salad greens on the side too, though the potatoes served with it were a nice touch.The food here is so different from what we usually have. We also ordered some Georgian wine, though, to be honest, I didn't catch the name, but we really enjoyed it. For dessert, we had Napoleon. We were already full, but it was so wonderful that we finished it and even ordered another one to take home. It would be awesome to bring friends here next time.

Ive been a regular here since they've opened and I absolutely love this place. If you want khinkali, this is the absolute best place to go to. I have a lot of favorites across the menu, but my top orders are: - fried beef khinakli - boiled beef khinkali - cheese khachapuri - ich salad Their meat and fish skewer selections are also delicious and great quality. Most people are a fan of their dessert, but if I'm honest, that's the one thing I do not order here, I have not been a fan of their cakes. This place is great for large and small parties, wonderful to come to on a nice day to sit outside, and also kid friendly menu items. Service and ambience are great, very laid back and casual. I highly recommend trying this place if you haven't already. They have a parking garage in the same building, very close by.

The food here was sooooo salty. From the appetizer chickpeas to the dumplings I felt like I had to keep drinking water to cleanse my palate. The beef boiled dumplings were the biggest culprit! however, the service and the ambiance was nice. The cheese bread was the star of the show. I only got a partial picture cuz we ate it so fast and I saved a small piece for someone at home. I got the cheese bread and 3 dumplings and my total + tax and tip was $30! Glad to have tried this place but kinda sad. I really wanted to like the dumplings, the place has such nice decor and the dumpling branding it has made me hyped up and then disappointed...

Would've gave this a 5 star rating, but knocked off a star due to the high prices for a small portion of food. It was my first time trying Georgian food and wow was I impressed with the dumplings! I'm lactose intolerant so wasn't able to try the cheese khinkali, but the FRIED BEEF, truly delicious! We also got the boiled one, but the fried one had different textures with the crunchy skin and juicy inside (almost like a soup dumpling!) The chicken breast skewer was also so tender and flavorful. We made mini wraps with the veggies too. For appetizer we got the dolma which was also delicious, but not a must have. Servers were quick and nice and it's overall it has a nice mom and pop store vibe. Because of the higher prices, would recommend Khinkali house as more of a nicer dinner option. For 3 people after ordering so much food, we weren't full. There's are paid parking lots nearby.

The chicken soup was great! We also tried the dumplings. I had the beef boiled and the cheese fried. Both good, but the cheese was better. I didn't try the mushroom one because a person in our party said it was heavy on dill. For me the highlight was the cheese bread! Delish!!!! Nice place and service was great.

March 2023 Khinkali House: After an art event & shopping in Glendale, my friend & I decided upon Khinkali House, as it was by the mall. He had also once enjoyed their dumplings & I wanted to give the dumplings a try, amongst other dishes! Beautiful restaurant, loved the ambiance! Mushroom Dumplings: Tasty, favorite dish! Georgian Cheese Dumplings: Not into the flavor or consistency. Vegetable Skewer w/Okra: Bland. Sturgeon Osetrina Skewer: Extremely Salty. Customer Service: Wildly friendly & attentive! Super friendly hostess from the moment we walked in, she was all smiles & personality plus, as well as wonderful servers! Overall: Loved the ambiance, enjoyed the mushroom dumplings & friendliness while dining! It's always nice to try a new restaurant. Unfortunately, we left plenty of food on the table, but happily went to another restaurant on the way home!

I was shopping at the americana mall and got hungry. I searched for good restaurants in the area, and found this place which is only a 5 minute walk. We walked in, and were seated immediately. There were only a couple of tables seated, so we got taken care of immediately. A couple of their items were not gluten free, but I found plenty of other options. The waitress was knowledgeable and double check with the kitchen to be sure. First, they bring you a bowl of chickpeas which are a nice little snack. I started with the mediterranean salad. It was a good size to share. It's pretty light and healthy. I mixed it with the chickpeas. Then I ordered 3 items from the skewers section. The lamb chops were nice and juicy but a bit small. The chicken breasts skewer was really good and full of flavor. The beef skewer was just ok, not bad but not amazing either. We ended the meal with armenian coffee, which is very strong and exactly what I needed to finish my day. Overall their meats are decent. I recognize that their best m dishes probably are khinkalis and pelmenis, which I cannot eat due to their gluten content. But you still have good options to go with.

If you're looking for a foodie experience to impress your dates, here is a hidden gem for you. Beautiful atmosphere along with amazing food and great service. If you have a love for dumplings, this is something unique and different to try. We started with their famous charcuterie board. And they had this delicious bread stuff with cheese and our favorite is definitely boiled khinkali with beef

Was so excited to try this place, as we'd gone to their original Yerevan, Armenia location. The menu is just the same! We ordered the khachapuri, mushroom and beef/pork khinkalis (half were fried and half were steamed), the pelmeni, and beef and chicken skewers.We also ordered some Cornelian cherry compote juice. All the food was delicious and well prepared. Brought back good memories.

The location of the cafe is questionable. It's a little hard to find. The food is very tasty. I had the least questions about the food. I had khachapuri, 5 khinkals and tea with mint. It came out $87 for two people. Service - the guys are good, but it feels as if each person is very tired and frozen.

Khachapurri; Khinkali & Pidmani Pretty simple Georgian food It's the simple things sometimes that make things great... The Cheese bread or Khachapuri was a different take on fried bread stuffed with cheese... the cheese has some herbal flavor which is a change of pace... love it The Khinkali steamed Beef dumpling was my fave... get three all steamed They also fry them and they recommend the mushroom and cheese fried... good too The Pidmani again steamed was amazing ... lather them in butter and sour cream if they're steamed... or fried... The Armenian lemonades came in a bottle and are imported; we got the pear and tarragon Sweet and bubbly goodness... Gonna have to come back and try the meats next time... Dinner for two was about $80

I tried this place just last week on the recommendation of a Lyft driver who was raving on and on about this place. The food was delicious and had flavor profiles that I haven't experienced before. I started off the meal with Khachapuri - Georgian Cheese bread. This was cheese wrapped in a very light dough then baked. Very delicious! I then ordered a variety of small items to sample, the server recommended Khinkali - Georgian Dumpling filled with ground beef & pork, but I also ordered a cheese one and a mushroom filled one. I also tried two meat Skewers: Lamb Chops & Tiger Shrimp. All delicious! I finished off the meal with a slice of House Special Honey Cake covered with fresh berries. The service was great and I found the place to have a nice relaxing atmosphere to escape the chaos of the city in a little side alley.

The menu is abundant with a variety of dishes, each unique and incredibly delicious in its own way. I highly recommend trying the signature Georgian khinkali--they simply melt in your mouth! The service is top-notch: the staff is always attentive and friendly. Special thanks to the amazing waitress Anya, who made our evening unforgettable. Without a doubt, 10 out of 10!

Came here with friends to try a new cuisine. Curious to see there were tons of dumplings in the various shapes and sizes of a chef's hat. Novelty aside, I did not find the flavors compelling. I tend to prefer strong flavored foods but the flavors here were mild. Also the prevalence of wheat in most of the dishes did not bode well with me. I had a bit of a food coma due to the high gluten and carbohydrate content. Overall it was an interesting cultural evening.

Amazing food and ambiance. If you want authentic Armenian or Georgian food you have to try this place. Khingali is the best in town and so is the kebab. You can't go wrong with any orders here.

Came here for lunch with my coworkers and I absolutely loved it! The staff did a fantastic job at servicing 10 people and giving menu recommendations. We ate family style and got to try out tons of menu items! I tried the mediterranean salad, ICH salad, kachapuri, seasoned fries, fried mushroom khinkali, boiled mushroom khinkali, fried cheese khinkali, and potato skewer. Everything was so tasty and filling!! My favorites were the fried cheese khinkali and boiled mushroom khinkali. Both of the salads were also to die for but I liked the mediterranean one better. My meat eater companions (I'm vegetarian) had a resounding approval for all of their food items as well! Their system for differentiating dumplings was also super clever! Some will either have waves or a flat top to ensure you know which dumpling you're getting. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure we understood the menu and had everything we needed from enough food to drinks. They had a wonderful indoor/outdoor area with a covered cabana. They also have overhead heat lamps for the colder months. Great spot!

The food was terrible, the service was awful, and instead of adjika, they just served tomato sauce. The portions were very small; the lamb dish had only two pieces of meat, just so you know. The satsivi was just horrible, and the chicken with cream and walnuts had nothing to do with the traditional Armenian dish. I paid a bill of over $600, but neither my son, whose birthday it was that day, nor I were even allowed to place an order. They silently took the menu and only accepted the order from our guest, who happened to be of their nationality. My child's birthday was ruined! He's still upset! Check your bills carefully! Never visit this place if you don't want to ruin your celebration and mood!

We love coming here for some good khinkali. To be honest with you, we have tried quite a few khinkalis in Georgia (the country! and the birthplace of khinkali) and these come pretty close to the best ones we've had. So they ARE authentic and very delicious! We prefer the boiled kind with beef - this is the original way to eat those - with the cucumber/tomato salad. The sour cherry compot is great with it as well as the bottle of red Kindzmarauli. If you wanted to venture into the fried ones, then I recommend the one with mushrooms. There is quite a few other things on the menu, but we stick to these classics when we go. You definitely want to try!

I was happy to try my first ever Georgian dumplings here! Before I went, I did some research on how to eat the dumplings. I wanted to make sure that I was eating them correctly. I really enjoyed the fried dumplings and the honey cake. Though the regular dumplings were also good. I was part of a large group, for a birthday. The staff were very kind and extremely accommodating. I would definitely like to visit again.

The cuisine of the Caucasus region is one that most Americans would just write-off as Armenian, or maybe even simply Middle Eastern (which it is definitely NOT). This area is Europe. Eastern Europe Yes, but Europe nonetheless. Europe goes all the way to the Ural Mountains - and Georgia is still west of them. But there is more to it than that. When the Asiatic Mongols smashed into the region between the Black and the Caspian Seas, the people of the Caucasus fled into the mountains and became partisans, which left this region "too difficult to take". So there is a huge originality in the cuisine. Sure, they have the Asian influenced steamed dumplings, but they also have dishes that are similar to Russian, Arab, Greek, and Roman foods. My favorite dish is the big meaty dumplings that you can't eat the stem of. This place is well worth a try - even just in an anthropological way.

It's one of the best khinkali I ever tried in the US. They reminded me of my childhood when my grandmother cooked them... Very fresh and tasty!!! Waiters are very polite and helpful with food choices. Especially I want to mention Anna, she was very nice, very familiar with the menu and all ingredients. We will definitely come back next time we will be in the area. Thank you, Anna!

Their pickled vegetable medley is SOUR. This is coming from someone who practically drinks vinegar. Just a heads up. Tastes good though. Their mushroom khinkali isn't bad, but it wasn't the best khinkali I've had. It's also too expensive, seriously. Almost four dollars for a single dumpling? I know they aren't equivalent, but I can buy a bag of like, 50 Chinese dumplings for less than twenty bucks. I like how they offer a mushroom filling, though. Their dolma is also a bit overly sour. Lastly, the quinoa apple salad is delicious. Each bite was super fresh and light, I loved it.

I'd been meaning to stop by this spot for a while now and finally got around to it! Interior is very clean and spacious- there was lots of room to sit and nice music choices as well We started off with the Khachapuri which was warm and toasty, the cheese inside oozed onto the plate and was very delicious I also got the cheese and mushroom khinkalis (fried and boiled) and both were to par! The boiled khinkali resembles a soup dumpling and both types tasted great with sour cream For dessert, we tried the special honey cake and mikado which were both just sweet enough! I will warn my fellow foodies with a weaker stomach- go easy on the Georgian cheese!! It is delicious but I had a stomachache for a day or 2 after because I had too much Overall a great place to try Georgian cuisine for the first time

My friend had us visit this restaurant that she often comes to when she is the area. We had her order for us what she thought we would like. She order a variety of plates for us. We had the bread basket with Puri and Lavash, cheese plate with a variety of cheeses and veggies. A plate of dolmas, plate of different beef and chicken skewers, Mediterranean salad and of course a variety of Khinkali. It was nice to have such a variety to have. We got to have a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. The staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I love that they serve Mexican Coke and bring the bottle to the table. Sure takes of having to worry for a refill. It was very different than other Mediterranean restaurants that I have been to and I enjoyed it very much.

If I had ordered the only Khinkali Ground Beef, it would have been 5 stars Khinkali were delicious. But we have ordered also Khachapuri and Lamb Chops. Guys, almost fell down laughing from the size of the portions. I have never seen such small dishes anywhere before. Please find the photos attached to compare. Even more, Khachapuri was burned down and the cheese inside was extra sour. Chops were so small that we're not even able to understand the taste. Service was good. Ambiance is unremarkable.

This is a restaurant that serves Russian/Armenian/Georgia recipe entree's, most notiably the Khinkali (Dumplings) Food is meidocre at best. My friend got Basturma, Sujuk, Meat Khinkali and I had the Mushroom Khinkali, Cheese plate and my life didn't change at all. Not even 5% for the better. I get it; Russian restaurant so You hire beautiful Russian waitresses and hostesses, fine. I'm sure the men enjoy the eye candy. I will even give you a pass for the OBNOXIOUS 2007 Lady Gaga music BLASTING in my ear like Im at Cheetahs strip call during last call. However, as a feminist, make sure to EDUCATE your 'beautiful' female staff so they know if a soup is vegetarian or not. EDUCATE your staff to be able to have the most basic conversation considering this restaurant is located in Glendale and we dont all know Russian. I felt awful trying to use sign language and dumbed down English to ask for the most simple anwers, such as "do you suggest a dipping sauce for the Khinkali"? "Does your mushroom soup have meat in it?" I felt like I was being demeaning and she indeed felt uncomfortable sheepishly walking away after not being able to answer the most basic menu questions. My anxiety was a 10. Not coming back sorry! But good luck! Pretty chandeliers though!

Admittedly, we stumbled upon this restaurant, not really knowing much about the cuisine. We asked the waitress to recommend several items including each of the khinkalis, boiled and fried. It might just be the style of the food, but it was pretty bland and not very interesting. I think the thing that made it 3 stars for me was the extremely slow, inattentive service and the price point for the portions you got. I felt like I spent 3x more than I would have liked and was still hungry.

Armenian/ Georgian/ Eastern European food restaurant that from what I know, is known for their dumplings (the khinkali). I've been here a few times now and love the place. It's located in kind of an 'off street' in Glendale. I had just a little trouble finding it the first time I went. Really close to the King Taco there. Now, I don't know too much about the cuisine of this area of the world, so the kind young lady behind the bar was super help on this past visit. I do love the universal language of dumplings, so I feel loving the food here comes naturally. On my most recent visit, I came here with one of my good buddies (so there was only two of us). We ordered the khachapuri, some khinkali (boiled and fried), and some pelmeni. We got a side of sour cream for the khinkali and pelmeni. The khachapuri came out hot and crispy. As soon as you cut into it, you soon discovered the delicious gooey middle. The khinkali- we got the beef and mushroom both boiled and ordered the cheese fried (I wanted the crispy outside and gooey middle; I'm a fan of the textures) The pelmeni is pretty much like pierogi of a different name. These were like delicious oversized raviolis and tasted delicious with the sour cream. Would definitely go back

I had been wanting to try this place for about a year and finally brought myself on a date to do so. I love it's almost hidden area, it really makes you feel like you've unlocked something special. I ordered the mushroom and cheese Khinkhali. Very delicious! I was not expecting the cheese to be that good! The salmon skewers were grilled to perfection although I will say one of the four pieces isn't taste as fresh as the others but it's forgivable. I was also given a small bowl of salty chickpeas to start. I wasn't sure what to do with them but I will say they were a fun thing to munch on and mix with my choices! Definitely recommend this place for a different experience. Service made me feel like I was a fancy person out on a fancy person lunch. Thank you to my server Jenya and all the other staff for making me feel special!
