Anonymous - The tone oven is actually the same as the tandoor in India and Persia. It is also used in Central Asia. The tone was probably importend into Georgia during the Persian rule and has become a big part of the Georgian cuisine.
Sarah B. - I love this bakery and eat here at least three times a week–they even know what my regular is and gave me free bread yesterday!
Sarah B. - Oh! And I notice you didn’t have any Lobiani, their best dish by far. The Hachapuri is wonderful and tasty, but the Lobiani is what I get every day–filled with kidney beans, garlic, and cilantro–it’s spicy, hearty, and decadent.
