Adjarian khachapuri (acharuli) is one of the signature Georgian dishes at the Samikitno/Machakhela restaurant chain. It is a boat-shaped yeast bread filled with melted cheese and finished with a raw egg yolk and a knob of butter stirred in at the table.
The chain is known for large portions of traditional Georgian food served around the clock, and acharuli is among its most ordered items across its Tbilisi locations including Freedom Square.
