Shila plavi is among Barbarestan’s most popular dishes — a creamy, spiced rice preparation served with meat or with mushrooms. Like the rest of the menu, it comes from the recipes of Barbare Jorjadze’s nineteenth-century cookbook.
The dish illustrates how the restaurant revives comforting historic Georgian home cooking rather than modern fusion plates.
