There are five Khachapuria restaurants in Nizhny Novgorod, but if you want to combine a pleasant stroll around the historical district with a good lunch or dinner, go to one of the two Khachapurias in the pedestrian area on Bolshaya Pokrovkskaya Street: there is one at the beginning of the street, just a hundred meters from the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin wall, and the other at the opposite end, in a low house built before the 1917 Revolution. Here you will find everything Georgian cuisine is famous for and even something that no other restaurant can boast of: pomegranate wine.

Another of the restaurant's visiting cards is dolma, made of tender meat, rice and spices, wrapped in young grape leaves. Dolma comes with sour cream and herbs as is customary in Georgia.

Try traditional Georgian cheeses, salads with fresh or marinated vegetables and, of course, the famous khinkali dumplings and khachapuri pies.
