Cheese khinkali with pressed Matsoni and spinach sauce

“I got professional education at Culinary Academy. I have been working in this field for 5 years already. I love my job. I’m where I need to be and it makes me very happy. I have established the company “Tsomi” and I have my own author’s restaurant “Chef Saradjeff”. I want to popularize Georgian dishes in this space. With my interpretation and vision, taking into account the world’s culinary trends, I want that my dishes suit both lovers of traditional dishes and tourists as well.

The guest who comes to my restaurant is greeted by the warm atmosphere, my family history and time travel, childhood tastes and my vineyard wine.

Entertaining guests with delicious dishes is my hobby! ” - Nikoloz Sarajevi
