Chikhirtma is a classic Georgian chicken soup thickened with egg and sharpened with herbs and a touch of acidity. At Ezo it is a house favourite, cooked fresh to order and repeatedly singled out by guests and food writers as one of the best versions in Tbilisi.
Ezo, whose name means courtyard, opened in 2015 in the Sololaki district of Old Tbilisi. The family-run restaurant serves simple, fresh Georgian cooking in a traditional Tbilisi-style yard with décor and installations from local artists.
