Thanks!!

It was inexpensive and the actual place was somewhat hard to find (good guide books helped), but once you got there, you could eat the most amazing khachipuri! The food was excellent and in 2002, if I remember correctly, they renovated the place- a sign of good business. I've found a few reviews by searching online... http://www.sptimes.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=17288 http://www.ruscuisine.com/articles/index.php?article=33 I don't know if it's still good, but at the time, it was spectacular! If I were in Moscow I'd give it a try. Tue May 27 16:10:27 -0700 2008 2869697 183643 sfumato 2 3791613 Guria was our favourite place way back in 1991/2 when we were students in Moscow. There wasn't a whole lot of food available in the shops, and Guria did by far the best food in the whole city. I still remember the khachipuri and the aubergine dish they did. Happy days!
