Fancy an evening in an aesthetic atmosphere with genuine hospitality? Leliani, located at Finowstraße 2 in Berlin-Friedrichshain, has quickly made a name for itself as the “elegant big sister” of the popular Khinkali House. And for good reason: the warm hospitality ensures that you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re here for a romantic date or a convivial evening with friends, the ambiance is perfect for special moments where good food and good company take center stage.
A culinary journey to Georgia
The menu pays homage to Georgian cuisine. There are a few highlights you shouldn’t miss. These include the Elarji balls, served in a creamy almond sauce, which offer a wonderfully hearty yet gentle explosion of flavor. Also worth trying are the Kveri, delicious dumplings filled with a sophisticated mixture of mint and cheese.
And the combination with the accompanying adjika sour cream sauce—a spicy paste that is indispensable in Georgian cuisine —is also highly recommended. For meat lovers, the Mtsvadi chicken is a good choice. The tender chicken meat is refined with a fruity pomegranate sauce, which gives the dish a sweet and sour note.
This balance of savory, fruity, and nutty flavors is typical of Georgia. Many dishes are traditionally shared, which emphasizes the communal nature of the meal. And to round off the meal perfectly, dessert is a must. The classic honey walnut cake is the crowning glory and promises a sweet finale.
