Nice to have a Georgian cuisine option nearby. Service was great, our server spoke fluent Russian. 20% tip automatically added to every bill no matter how large your party. Standouts: $26 Khachapuri Adjaruli | Boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and an egg. - delicious and unique, can see why it's so popular and their signature dish! $16 Artichoke with Baje | Fried artichoke, walnut sauce, tashmijab (cheese melted into mashed potatoes), red adjika oil, svaneti salt. - the tashmijab was really good texture and flavor, unique. The main courses ended up tasting all kind of similar in flavor and accompaniments, ended up blending into the same style from dish to dish. We tried the Khinkali dumplings and ate them the traditional way, holding it upside down w hands - these were okay. The skin is thick and kind of blots out the flavors in the meat, and the soup inside was not particularly juicy. Cocktails were excellent, faves were Seo, Bounty Hunter, and Metamorphosis.

"Bevri" (): is a Georgian word that translates to "a lot" or "much" in English. This restaurant in toney DT Los Altos (was formerly in Palo Alto?), is a gem of a restaurant. I came here to meet some people in the rear private party room, but walked through it's beautifully appointed front dining space. The food is delicious, well prepared, and although somewhat familiar to other mediterranean styles you might be familiar with, it is also quite different in many ways. The spices are different, and the mix of accent ingredients have a healthier touch, at least at this restaurant's offerings. (Cucumbers, Pomegranate, others. Perhaps this is just California's fresh cornucopia of ingredients meeting Georgian recipes at Bevri?) Our little sub-group ordered or shared: PKHALI - Chopped baby spinach and beets with walnuts and herbs fashioned in 2 separate half scoop domes, served with eggplant rolls and grilled rosemary bread with olives. Good appetizer starter. KHINKALI - (Georgian Dumplings) - these are like Xiao Long Bao's (XLB) bigger brother! There is a little soup in there, but the dough is heavier. You can get Beef, Pork, or Mushroom, in 3, 5, or 8 pieces. You are actually supposed to hold these upside down by the tail and bite and suck out the soup with the bottom on top! AJAPSANDALI - Vegetable stew with eggplants, bell peppers, onions and carrots, cooked with tomatoes, cilantro and spices. PORK CHALAGHAJI - Marinated, slow-cooked baby pork ribs with Adjika sauce. (Adjika is a spicy, savory, and flavorful condiment or spread made from chilies, garlic, herbs, and spices. It's similar to a tomato pepper salsa and is often used in Georgian cooking.) KHACHAPURI ADJARULI - Boat-shaped bread with cheese, butter and an egg! (Bevri put this in their logo, it is so tasty and popular.) MTSVADI - (chicken or pork) Grilled medium-size meat cubes marinated in onions, herbs and spices. WINTER PEAR - (dessert) Ripe pear cooked in Georgian wine with Ice-cream paired with fresh mint and walnuts ZANDUKELI - (non-alcoholic beverage) - Pear flavored Sparkling Lemonade Soda Service was excellent, with a roomful of 25 - 30 diners, all arriving at different times, with separate checks, the staff brought out all the orders in timely fashion, hot and nicely plated, with no mixups! And Bevri doesn't charge for tips! You know, all these dishes sort of rhyme, makes my mind create a sort of Drake slow song/rap about sweet girls and good food... We had a party at Bevri, the first inside was Beverly, We shared a nice pear beverage, no alcohol, no leverage, Beets and Spinach Pkhali, then walked in pretty Dolly, We slurping up Khinkali, hold upside down, no folly, Queue AjapSandali, as here comes Jean and Molly, Served Pork Chalaghaji, Chicken, Pork Mtsvadi...... Play it on Repeat!

Yum! I had never had Georgian food before so I didn't know what to expect, but my mom picked it for her birthday and I'm so glad she did! We loved the dumplings (all three flavors) and the chicken with potatoes dish. We also really enjoyed the bean filled pastries and the burrata filled bread (although that was a little too cheesy for me). I had the pear vodka soda and loved it and the desserts were really pretty (but didn't taste like anything spectacular). In the future, I hope to try the rosemary olive bread, one of the other cheesy breads, and their warm pear dessert. The ambiance and decor were cool - felt authentic. I will say our first waitress was nice, but it took a while for anyone to check on us after the food came out. Then, she seemed to have gone home because no one came to check on us until we pulled another guy over and asked for dessert and a drink, and he seemed confused about the menu, so it was a little disappointing. Had to deduct a star for the slow service. Overall I hope to come back soon!

Amazing food and good vegeterian options! Pkhali 5/5 My favorite dish on the menu. Khachapuri 5/5 Hype is real! :) Artichoke with baje 4/5 The mashed potato could use some more flavors/cheese. The adijka oil elevated the dish. Pista cocktail 2/5 it's sweet as opposed to tart as our server mentioned. They didn't take it back, but they were able to reconstitute it for us. Desserts seemed overly priced and uninspiring. Portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side. No typing policy is a nice touch. Service was a bit slow, ambiance is pleasant. There is a parking lot right behind the restaurant.

Tried this place for the first time and will definitely be back! I love the unique touch of the 'no tipping' policy--just enjoy the European cuisine. The cheese bread was my absolute favorite! I also tried the dumplings, which were okay for me, and the lamb was a good choice. The lamb kebab was flavorful, and the beef ribs were incredibly tender. We added a side of spicy sauce, which was a great complement. For dessert, we finished with the lava cake--it had a beautiful presentation and was perfectly gooey inside. Cozy and pretty inside! Servers were nice! Overall, a great experience!

I really enjoyed this place! My favorites include the Baked Brussels sprouts appetizer, the cheese bread boat, and the Napoleon Cake. For the Brussels sprouts, I really enjoyed the flavor with the combination of cheese - I don't usually see that combo. The cheese boat was soooo good, but I'd definitely recommend sharing it if you can, it is very large. The Napoleon cake was much bigger than I thought. It tastes like cream puffs and was easily shareable among 4 people. I think my entree was a bit too dry for me. The portion sizes for most of their dishes are also a bit smaller, so I'd recommend ordering more than just one entree. In general the ambiance was nice and calm! We went on a Sunday evening and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Bevri is a popular Georgian restaurant around Main Street in Los Altos. There's plenty of parking nearby. Food 5/5: every dish was a star in flavor and presentation. Everyone on Yelp recommended the boat cheese bread and it did not disappoint! It's extremely filling and delicious. I would recommend sharing with 3+ people. The lamb Khinkali Dumplings were also quite delicious. It's more similar to a baozi (Chinese bun) than a soup dumpling. In total, we got 5 dishes (4 + 1 dessert) to share for 3 people. The restaurant automatically adds a service fee to your receipt and does not ask for tip. The servers were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. The overall bill came out to over $40 per person. It was a little pricey for the quantity of food, but taking into account the service, presentation, and quality of food, it's definitely worth coming for a special occasion.

Exceptional experience trying out Georgian food for the first time! Great location in downtown Los Altos, and excellent friendly and helpful service. All in all a 5-star. The best dish highly recommended to try is Khachapuri Imeruli, the boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and egg I strongly suggest to have the waiter to prepare it for you (see video). The second recommendation is the dumplings. Make sure you ask waiter to explain how to eat it properly as it's not traditional! It's dumplings with soup inside with your hand, and you are supposed to pick it up, turn it upside down, eat the bottom first and enjoy the soup/juice! We also got the chicken liver pate, which was amazing, too.

Great main and apps, not great dessert. But to be fair, the waiter did say we should go with another one. Everything here was great for the savory food. Cooked perfectly, great and strong flavors, and high quality ingredients. The pictures of the cheese boat are spot on and the hype for it is legit. If you like Chinese Xiao Long Bao, you should try the dumpling. It's a different flavor profile but still good. The beef and pork one reminded us of the spices you get on a beef Kafta. It was good but we would want to try the mushroom next time. The dessert was where it was lacking. The size was small (that's fine) but the pastry was soft and my wife caught notes of staleness. I think they just make it in the afternoon and stick it in the fridge. To me, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The service was... service. We went at 5:15 and for 80% of our meal, the whole Wait staff was sitting at the bar scrolling whatever they were looking at. They didn't check on us and we had to flag them down for more water. It wasn't bad, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and they discuss we wanted to not be disturbed. The food came out hot and they mixed the cheese for us, so honestly it was ok, hence not marking them down a star. We would definitely come back it was very unique as we've never had Georgian food before

Delicious food!!! The short ribs were really tasty. The cheese bread was a touch messy but still enjoyable. The natakhari drink was too sweet for me.

Mind blown! I'd never tried Georgian food before, and it was amazing. The food, service, and drinks were all fantastic at Bevri. I came in on a Tuesday for dinner to catch up with a girl friend, and Bevri was a perfect place. It was easy to relax and talk and hear each other over good food and tasty wine. The Khachapuri Adjaruli was out of this world - you've gotta try it! I drool just thinking about that cheesy bread with an egg on top. We also thought the chicken mtsvadi was tasty. The staff were very welcoming and helped us navigate the menu and pick a wine. If you're into wine, you've got to try the Georgian amber wine here! We went for the Dilao Mtsvane/Rkatsiteli Amber wine, and it was fantastic with hints of melon and cantaloupe. Can't wait to bring more friends or come back on a date!

This was my first time at Bevri, and my first time trying Georgian food, and I was pleasantly surprised! Not because I expected it to be bad, but because I didn't expect to LOVE it this much. I highly recommend the Lobiani--hands down my favorite dish. I'd never had anything like it before: a flaky puff pastry filled with beans. It's totally vegetarian-friendly, but honestly, it's a great choice for anyone, regardless of diet. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of this one, but try it! You won't be disappointed. :) We also had the chicken kebab, which was flavorful and well-cooked. It was more familiar to me since similar versions appear in Indian, Afghan, and other cuisines I've had - but still, it was tasty. That said, the Lobiani really stood out. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

My first time having Georgian food, and I loved it! Parking is relatively easy. There is either street parking or the downtown area has some public parking lots just a short walk around the block. For a starter, I recommend getting the Pkhali. These tasty spreads come in spinach and beet flavors and are made with chopped walnuts and herbs. The colors are so vibrant and pretty! They also give you bread to spread it on, as well as eggplant rolls. You also must try their quintessential Georgian dishes--their Khinkali and Khachapuri Adjaruli! The Khinkali are Georgian dumplings filled with soup (similar to an xiao long bao if you've had those before). The Khachapuri is a boat-shaped bread with cheese, butter, and an egg. It's so yummy! Definitely big enough for sharing. For entrees, I was able to try a few different dishes, but my absolute favorite was the Kalmakhi! This grilled whole rainbow trout is stuffed with herbs and spices and is amazing! Sometimes when a whole fish is served, it can be difficult to remove the meat, but this one wasn't difficult at all. The inside stuffing was so tasty and really made this fish dish stand out! Highly recommend this and would definitely come back just to eat this rainbow trout! The Chicken Mtsvadi was pretty good, but a more standard dish of marinated chicken. Pork Chalaghaji ribs were also tasty. All entrees come with a dressed side salad. Many dishes are also topped with pomegranate seeds, which I thought was a great addition! Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience here. Get the Pkhali, Khachapuri, and Kalmakhi!
