Deda

A grill in the yard of a ruined house

Deda is Georgian for mother. The place occupies the yard of a half-ruined house on Saiatnova Street: tables stand at different levels among old walls, with an open grill and a kitchen under a canopy in the middle.

The point here is mtsvadi: lamb, chicken, pork, kebabi and vegetables go on the coals in front of you and come with tkemali or narsharab. In summer the yard works late; in winter there is little room.
