Classic Georgian cuisine prepared the way my grandmother would do it. The servers let you take your time and the courses are properly spaced out. I like the fact that they don't bother you or ask you how the food is very couple of minutes. Small and cute restaurant, no crazy frills, as Georgian vibes should be. I celebrated my birthday there recently and Shoti Bread House made it super special

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8 Decor: 8 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Cute little restaurant that makes you feel like you left NJ and step into Eastern Europe the moment you step inside. My family and I had the fortune of finding this local gem on a recent trip. Honestly, the food was all quite good, but not necessarily better than other Georgian food I have experienced around NYC. However, their shoti bread was definitely a highlight. Grilled on an open fire and toasted to the perfect crunchiness, with a delectable chew in every bite full of flavor. So good we bought three more to go. The Adjaruli is always fun to order because it looks so wonderful as the server is mixing up the cheese, butter and egg. Unfortunately, I felt like their homemade cheese lacked a little bit of flavor. We ordered a cold appetizer of Eggplant Pkhali, which was quite good, full of walnut paste and pomegranate seeds. Of the two soups we ordered, Kharcho was decent, but the Khashi was quite bland. Our server was a nice lady who guided us on what and how to order. I think she was quite amused watching a Chinese family enjoying their cuisine. Anyway, the service was very good. If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely consider coming back to try more food. Maybe some of the meats on the grill, or some of the entrees.

I just discovered Georgian food this year in NYC & I never thought I would find it in New Jersey. The food from this place is extremely delicious and super fresh! The service from this restaurant is so welcoming & the ambiance of the restaurant alone is probably just like how it is at their home country. I can't wait to try more from their menu!

A hidden treasure to the area with reasonable prices. I came here with my mom for the first time. I have had adjaruli kachapuri once before, but this place felt more authentic. The waiter helped us stir it properly, with a very Instagram worthy effect. It was delicious and was even stuffed with cheese inside the bread. It was a cheese extravaganza. We also ordered lamb kebab which was not a very big portion but still quite flavorful and not too tough. The location is very inconspicuous and we almost parked in the bank next door by accident. This easy going casual spot is definitely good for lunch. Many people dropped in just to pick up the iconic shoti bread in bagfuls. We were very impressed by their business.

Excellent Georgian fair. As good as any I have had anywhere including NYC and Israel. We had the ajaruli khachapuri, panovani lobiani, Adjapandali (the Georgian Ratatouille), and the Soko Kefsze (mashrooms) but without tge cheese. Everything was delicious except for tge mushrooms which were plain and we gather the cheese is what makes that dish. Don't order it without. The service was very friendly and they explained everything thoroughly. The decore was interesting with a lot of pictures of Georgia and art. It is just too bad they draw the shades because it is very easy to miss from the outside tgat way. Our local friends had no idea it was there for years.

The staff is very warm and welcoming. I started with the Homemade Chicken Soup. The soup was very basic, just chicken pieces with dill and other Georgian spices. It had a nice flavor that reminded me of my grandmother's. For my lunch, I ordered the Adjaruli, which was everything I hoped it would be. The bread was soft, and the insides were buttery, cheesy, eggy goodness! This a must try dish! I am looking forward to coming back and eating my way up and down the menu!

If you are a cheese fan buckle up! I knew I would like this spot the second I walked in, you are immediately transported to grandma's living room ! I am not familiar with Georgian food, but don't fear, they are so kind and patient , explaining everything on the menu to us! You know the food is going to be good by how proud the waitress was of the food and culture ! I completely forgot the name of the dishes, but we started with a flakey savory dish stuffed with cheese. Then we got what is essentially a cheese boat, They bring out this melty bread boats filled with liquid cheese with an egg on top that you mix into everything! This reminded me of stuffed cheesy bread from dominos on steroids! We finished off with lamb kebobs that were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I gotta come back to try more !!!!!

Really amazing food. I looked up the menu before I came and even looked up names of the dishes because I never had Georgian food before. It's mostly meat, bread and cheese dishes. Everything is delicious and very good. They give you warm complimentary bread with butter to start. We got the Adjarul bread as well, which is the boat shaped bread with egg and cheese. the waitress was so nice and mixed it for us at the table since we never done it before. It cooks the eggs instantly. Reminds me of fondue. The bread is so buttery and melts in your mouth. We got the medium $11 and couldn't finish it between the both of us. We also got he grape leaf appetizer which we couldn't finish either but it was really good and packed with meat. I really like the whipped butter on the side. We also got the order of 5 lamb dumplings. They are soup dumplings and warm the soul! Great flavor of the meat and broth and I loved the texture of the dumpling dough. They are big and filling. For dessert we looked at the refrigerator of desserts and the waitress told us about each one. We went with the bird milk cake and a slice of the more chocolate looking cake. Both were very good, square layered cake with creme filling. Both not too sweet and easy to eat. Huge slices. I liked the bird milk cake the best, it had a chocolate frosting type thing on the top. I also got churchkhela which they make there too and from grapes. It looks like a fruit roll up and has walnuts and nuts in it. Excellent experience. It's so warm and rustic inside. Pictures of Georgia on the wall. It feels like you are transported to the country. It was pretty busy at 3 on a Sunday. Small parking lot too, only about 4 spaces. Def come here and try this amazing cuisine!

I'm always on the hunt for different cuisines to try, that I don't normally eat. Shoti Bread House has been on my radar for a while, and we finally got the chance to check it out one Friday. We came at around 6 pm and there were a good amount of people dining there already. Out of the handful of times I've tried Georgian food, all of them have involved khachapuri, or the bread boat filled with cheese. So this time, I wanted to do something a bit lighter, and try something else. We ordered: -Strawberry compote - a really sweet and syrupy strawberry juice, which I would not recommend -Shoti (grilled bread) - first plate is complimentary and extra is $3, but so worth worth it. It's warm and perfectly grilled and they give you butter on the side -Potato pancake - not sure if it's supposed to be soft but I was expecting it to be crispy -Khashi (beef tripe and leg soup) - I have tried this soup elsewhere before but this was a bit bland. However, I did appreciate that the waiter explained the dish to us and even recommended that most people add milk to the soup (which did make it better) -Shkmerull (cornish hen in creamy garlic sauce) - this was my husband's choice. It was okay, but probably not something I would have ordered -Lamb Lula Kebab (ground lamb wrapped in lavash bread) - this was both of our favorites of the night. They do not skimp on the lamb Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The servers were really patient. Most of the people dining there seemed like locals, so it was nice that they took the time to explain certain menu items with us. We will definitely be back to try some other dishes, and for that lamb kebab!
