Metekhi

Super GemSkokie (suburb) · Georgian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3341 Dempster St, Skokie, IL 60076

Georgian food is still rare enough in the Chicago suburbs that Metekhi functions as a genuine introduction for most first-time visitors, and the restaurant leans into that role rather than assuming familiarity — staff are consistently described as walking newcomers through the menu, not just taking orders.

★★★★★ 4.8 (171 reviews) via Google

Order the khinkali first, then the khachapuri, and go in understanding that "small" on this menu is a suggestion, not a serving size.
📈 Scores in the top 5% of Chicago Exclusive Gems on ChicagoSpecials.com

Everything is handmade with real technique: khinkali (dumplings) twisted by hand, cheese melted into khachapuri exactly the way it's supposed to be, spices blended in-house rather than bought pre-mixed. The Ajaruli khachapuri — an open boat-shaped bread filled with cheese and topped with a raw egg you stir in yourself — and the Georgian beef stew are the two dishes that come up most in reviews, alongside mtsvadi, skewered grilled meats cooked simply and well.

The room itself gets consistent praise for its decor, genuinely reflecting Georgian design rather than a generic "ethnic restaurant" look, and live music plays most Friday nights. Dishes are built for sharing across a table, which makes this a naturally good pick for a group rather than a solo dinner.
