I tried Galata House- not very good food and certainly not Georgian. The Golden Fleece in Talimhane closed up shop before I could get in there. There's a small place in Cihangir run by a Georgian lady (partners with Kay of Kay's pizza) but there's no kitchen talent. Lobio resembled canned Van Camp's. Hinkali was limp in places, hard in others. I can't believe that such a large population of Turks of Georgian origin haven't got one serious place to eat. There are some good Circassian-Turkish restaurants, particularly in Adapazari, but I'd like to find something specifically Georgian. I'm happy to make a day trip for a true khachapuri. thanks for the help. Mon Aug 03 22:14:26 -0700 2009 242937 antman
