| - Omg! Take it from someone who is from the Caucasus- this restaurant is the real deal :) The food is amazing! I came here with my family and we loved everything. If you have not had the fortune of eating Kavkazi food, do yourself a favor and check this place out.
The food: DELISH!! To start, we ordered Qutabi with all of the fillings- meat, greens, and pumpkin, which I'm guessing is a seasonal specialty. They were delicious and light, slightly crispy on the outside and dusted with sumac. The kharcho soup was comforting and full of flavor but SPICY! Then came the Israeli eggplant salad, which was very good on the house bread they serve before meals (ask for the bread warmed up, much tastier that way). We also tried the pelmeni, and if you're a fan of these little meat dumplings you will definitely like them here.
For our entree, we ordered two platters of different shashlik with sides of white rice and potatoes. Let me tell you- I've never had lulya kebab like this before. No hint of gaminess in the lulya or the lamb chops. The chicken was juicy and tender. The thin sliced potatoes were AMAZING! Crispy and oily and just mmmm. I would eat those every day, We ordered two steeped teas with walnut baclava to finish. The tea is very enjoyable- not too strong and not too weak with good leaves. I liked the baclava but I wish they had more sweet offerings.
The service- fantastic! We had a lot of requests and the servers honored all of them. They definitely seem to care about pleasing their guests!
The music: FAB! I don't know their schedule but we were here on a Friday evening and a musician was singing a variety of songs in Russian and English. I never heard a Russian singer cover "Hotel California," lol. Later, they played instruments. Very talented and pleasant guys! We definitely worked off those calories in the little dancing area by the mini stage at the front of the restaurant. The restaurant is called "Kavkaz" so of course they played lezginka and Azeri music, too.
The ambience: This isn't a big banquet hall like other Russian restaurants in the area, it's missing that...over-the-top factor those places have. It's a perfect mix of classy and casual. Some people were wearing dresses and heels and some were in jeans. Everyone felt very welcome here. Just don't come in wearing like, raggedy sweat pants, and you'll be fine.
This is a great place to celebrate an important occasion, have a date night, but also to just chill with family and friends. I would DEFINITELY recommend "Kavkaz" to anyone who likes good food and music.
