Omg, where do I begin? The food is to die for, I'm a huge cheeseoholic and all the different breads stuffed with cheese make me feel like I'm in cheese heaven!!! Make sure to try khinkali and adjaruli khatchapury. You will not be sorry! read more

Classic Georgian cuisine prepared the way my grandmother would do it. The servers let you take your time and the courses are properly spaced out. I like the fact that they don't bother you or ask you how the food is very couple of minutes. Small and cute restaurant, no crazy frills, as Georgian vibes should be. I celebrated my birthday there recently and Shoti Bread House made it super special read more

Not friendly service, food and so-so, time will close, not recomendet, The girl at the cash register behaves very unfriendly

Nothing else like it- delicious try the adjaruli khachapuri it's like grilled cheese to the next level. Amazing! Khingali is great tko read more

I have to leave a 5 star rating for this wonderful Georgian cuisine restaurant. I ordered an imeruli which is a cheese pie with bread on top and below and I was set to pick it up at 12:30. I couldn't make it but I called and asked if I could pick it up a little later around 2pm. The gentleman told me that would be no problem and that they make their pies fresh and hot. Amazing service. This pie was hot and right out of the oven...so delicious and cheesy. Cannot wait to come back! read more

I was born in Tbilisi. I know exactly how authentic food tastes like. The restaurant is not authentic Georgian food! Most over salted! Went there with my husbands family and was embarrassed how bad it was. They liked it, but they don't know how authentic Georgian food supposed taste like. Also never ever get their desserts! Horrible! Not fresh. I would never recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste real Georgian food. read more

Shoti Bread House - Compote fruit juice apricot - Georgian Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

Amazing food!!!!! Have tried it already few times! Mostly have done take out. It was fast and delicious.

Amazing food. We visited today and had Georgian cuisine for the first time. The bread was warm, fresh and flavorful, the cheese pastry app was crisp and flaky but the best was the lamb stew. This was so flavorful and delicious. Lamb can sometimes feel heavy on the stomach but this was lean meat, full of wonderful warm flavors and spices and salted perfectly. We had the lamb dumplings as well and those were pretty tasty too. I would love to go back. This was simple, home made delicious food that brings back fond memories of your mom's cooking. read more

Nice cozy place for lunch or dinner. Food is delicious and service staff is friendly. Definitely will be back

I am dairy-free and gluten-free so you'd think I wouldn't have anything to eat here. WRONG! I told the waitress and at first she was taken aback. But the cold vegetable appetizers (eggplant pkhali made with walnuts) were GREAT. Also had the lamb stew with potatoes and eggplant and they were delicious! Definitely a meal I'm thinking about days later. This place is a hidden GEM! read more

Well this was a pleasant new replacement for Muscle Maker Grill and quite appropriate for the area. Anyway, this place only opened a week ago and it's already crowded. It's a small place but most of the tables here are large (6+ people) so I assume a lot of people do takeaway. A person in fact came in there for their shoti (a type of whole wheat bread/the origin of their name name.) There is also a nice cheap selection of Georgian groceries (sauces, drinks, some sides) as well. The man in front was nice. Anyway, I ordered two dishes as well as a bottled Georgian pear lemonade. They told me it would take around 15 minutes (mostly for the khachapuri) which was fine though he also noted that it would take less as they usually have one prepared before. Ajdjaruli Khachapuri (Baked boat shaped pie with gooey (Sulgani) cheese, poached egg, and butter, $11.00.) I've had this before from another place and for 11 dollars, it could make a meal for two or three less hungry people which makes it a great deal. The cheese was salty as known and the egg added a depth to the flavor. The bread had a great texture to it as well. Green Phkhali (Spinach with walnuts/spices, $8.00.) I have not had the spinach version of this dish (I think I had a beet version) and I was pleasantly surprised. The dish was very garlicky and it came with some pomegranate seeds as well. Outside of garlic, there was another strong spice but I could not tell what it was. This would make for a great side dish to take home as well. Good portion as per the other dish. This place is new but I hope they do well. Though with the clientele in Fair Lawn, I would not be surprised at this at all. Excellent Georgian food and a real gem. I'll be back for some of their other excellent looking dishes. read more

Shoti Bread House - Georgian Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

I never had any Georgian food before, I wasn't even familiar with their cuisine. However, I love to try foods from different cultures so I went ahead and ordered from Shoti. We have ordered from Shoti at least 6 times already. It's so nice to have some different cuisines around here because in Bergen county, we have the same types of food all over. I wish there were more variety of cuisines here. We ordered chikhirtma, kharcho, shawarma, assorted pickles, khinkali, mushrooms with cheese, kotnis lobio, and quite a few other dishes, just too many to list here. Everything we have ordered from them has been really delicious. Ordering the adjaruli khachipurri is a MUST. It's a bread boat stuffed with cheese and a fried egg on top. The portions are not large, but the food is fresh and great quality. And the food has always been the correct temp. They don't put cold food with hot food. And they have not messed our order up like so many places have. My only small complaint is I wish they would give some type of starch for the veal stew or the lobio. But that's a very small issue. If you order from Shoti, make sure you purchase lots of compote to wash all that great food down. I've never had a drink like that before and now I have to order it every time. read more

From the kitchen to the waitstaff, Shoti Bread House is all heart. Great food, caring staff make for memorable meals.

Excellent excellent excellent. Unfortunately due to "social distancing" measures I was only able to try this place for delivery via Uber Eats but wow am I happy to have this place so close to home. If you haven't had Georgian food before, I suggest you drop whatever you're doing right now and get some. It's real "stick to your ribs" kinda food in all the best ways, and Shoti Bread House has some of the best I've had. Ordered a bunch of items and every single thing was delicious. Adjaruli (the infamous georgian cheeseboat you've seen on every foodblog) was still gooey and delicious when it arrived. The Penovani Lobiani was also great, flaky on the outside and the bean filling on the inside was perfect. The Khinkali were gigantic and flavorful, so so good. Also the Chicken Kebab and the Lamb Lula Kebab (ground lamb) in lavash were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Also would like to shout out the Chikhirtma Soup (chicken soup) which doesn't sound exciting but might have been the best thing I ate the whole meal, it was so flavorful and hearty without being too heavy. Overall, I had an incredible meal, which considering it was for delivery, all the more incredible. Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

I'm going to take an average rating for all the food I sampled at my first Georgian food experience. Shoti: 24 stars. When I die, I want to be wrapped in a large shoti before being buried. If I win the lottery, I will have a fresh shoti baked every night for me to wrap myself in before falling asleep. I can no longer eat bread unless it is a shoti made by Shoti Bread House. To anyone who knows the joy of Bertucci's rolls: This is like a larger, even better Bertucci roll. Yes, I just said even better. Pkhali: 8 stars. Eggplant was sliced thin, I don't even know how it was cooked, but it was super smoky and barely tasted like eggplant. The walnut filling was fragrant and just otherworldly. The pomegranate seeds and lettuce somehow brought it all together by balancing the salty smokiness. Who figured out this magic? Adjaruli: I feel bad only giving this 5 stars now. It was a lot for one person, but I think the intent was multiple people order multiple dishes and split them. That would make sense, since each dish arrived in order (the same order as my review). You take the egg yolk and the butter pat and mix it with the cheese. I don't know that that's really necessary. This is like a calzone without tomato sauce, but you can always order a side of sauce for $1.50. (My friend got sauce with his kebob. It was cold. So you may want to ask for it hot if you go this route.) Lamb kebob: 4 stars. Lamb chunks were huge, wonderful flavor on the outside (somewhere between chargrill and lemon), but the cold tomato sauce didn't seem to fit. Maybe that's traditional, though. The sauce was the weakest link in the whole evening, since it really tasted like a very mild salsa at a Tex-Mex restaurant. Again, maybe that's traditional Georgian food, and my palate has just been ruined by years of bad chain salsa. We were too full for dessert. I definitely need to come here on a very empty stomach next time, as the portions are no joke. My ex-girlfriend could and would have made an entire meal out of the pkhali appetizer. One shoti feeds a family of 6 for a day. Teach a village how to bake shoti, and that village will eat for life. So let's see... 41 stars, 4 dishes. The pear lemonade would need to be worth about -20 stars to bring this all down. I'll just say this. In most restaurants, $2.50 wouldn't even buy you a glass of the lemonade. Here, it gets you an entire bottle straight from Georgia. The real Georgia. I'll throw 9 stars at it. Rating average: 10 stars, but there were two people dining, so I'll give it a solid 5. I will be back. Often. read more

9 month ago it was 5 star and now only 3 The quality went down, the food was salty, meet was not very good quality. Did not finish, took home and went into garbage next day. It was lamb kebab that supposed to be tender but it was not at all. Maybe chef changed or inflation playing the role. But I think for the restaurant it is better to have less on the plate but the best quality. Will try again in some time and hope it would be better. read more

I swung in here with a friend last Sunday and, while my review won't be as crazy long as his was, I can't say enough good things about Shoti Bread House. I had spent the day in the City and swung over to Jersey on my way home. My friend (a North Jersey Yelp Elite) mentioned that he had been eyeing Shoti and, since it was sort of on my way home, I agreed that it would be a good place. I had never had Georgian food before, but I know that this won't be my last time. First up: shoti. Can't go somewhere without ordering the namesake dish. For $2.50, I was expecting a small piece of bread. Not something that was the size of an athlete's arm. One of these alone could be a meal. One of these could be bread for 10 people. I will pay to have these shipped up to Albany so I can eat them with every meal. Next up: phkali. My friend ordered this as an appetizer. I'm not a huge eggplant person, but it was tasty. The walnut filling and pomegranate seeds somehow combined for a unique culinary experience. My friend's entree was the adjaruli, kind of like a calzone minus tomato sauce. It was huge and he enjoyed it. Last out was my entree, the lamb kebob. Massive chunks of lamb with an excellent flavor and grilled to perfection. The sauce with it, a cold tomato-based sauce, was unlike what I'm used to having with a kebab, but it worked well. After eating almost an entire shoti, I had a hard time finishing this. Shoti Bread House, I will be back. But when I return, it will be after fasting for an entire day. I ate normal lunch and snacks that day and I had trouble finishing what I expected to be a normal meal. The portions here are massive, the flavors are amazing, and the cost is very reasonable. I need more shotis, and soon. read more

Great food. Feels home made. Great local Georgian place that I go to every so often when in the area.

Shoti is a nice addition to the area! Though Fair Lawn has many Russians and Georgians, the nearest Georgian restaurants (until this one opened) are in NYC or Central Jersey (yes, I checked). Though I'm not Georgian, I have relatives that are and I've had lots of different types of homemade Khachapuri throughout my life. Just looking into the kitchen operation, I can tell that this is as close to traditional homemade as it gets. For those that have never had it, be ready for lots and lots of cheese. Unfortunately, my stomach can't handle that but I brought a large Imeruli pie for a family gathering. It was gone in less than 5 minutes and everyone loved it. The Imeruli is very similar to the cheesy bread that you'd get at Papa John's however, there is a layer of yogurt underneath the layer of cheese. They also have some Georgian products over by the cash register. read more

Shoti Bread House - Adjaruli khachapuri - Georgian Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

Stumbled upon this little restaurant several months ago from a yelp search of restaurants local to me. Since our first time dining in, have already dined in four more time and ordered take out several more. We have tried the adjaruli khachapuri (bread boat with egg and cheese), imeruli (cheese pie), lamb lula kebab, mushroom dish, eggplant, and the lamb khinkali (soup dumplings). We were not fans of the eggplant dish and the mushroom dish was good but nothing special. But OH. MAN. the lamb khinkali, lula kebab and the adjruli were absolutely mouth watering delicious. The restaurant is on the smaller end, simple, and service can get a little slow like many small european restaurants. We ordered the lamb stew on our first visit but never received it. We were too stuffed from the other dishes anyway so they just removed it from the tab. Another patron was having it out with one of the workers (maybe the owner actually?) complaining that she was waiting over 30 minutes for her order and there was also a patron who definitely over served himself and was intoxicated and smoking. So definitely not a fancy place, but man the food is definitely worth it. read more

Went here for a job outing and MY MIND IS BLOWN I wish I took pictures of all the dishes we ordered but my inner fat girl came out and demolished everything. Never had Georgian cuisine before and Shoti Bread House is my #1 spot so far. The flavors and aromas of the chakapuli (pictured) stews were phenomenal. My coworkers tried the veal and beef stew and said it was a hit as well. Their famous Shoti bread is served on the house with the soups/appetizers. I ordered the Adjaruli which is a cheesy bread bowl on steroids. It has a poached egg in it which cooks in the bowl as you mix it with the cheese and butter. So so so good. We also had the Lamb, Pork & Beef Khinkali (GIANT SOUP DUMPLINGS) which were top notch. They were like the size of my fist and it comes 5 per order. The waiter was kind enough to show us how to properly eat the soup dumplings. He was very kind and attentive, gave us great recommendations, and had the utmost patience of our game of 21 questions regarding the menu lol Lastly for dessert we had the bird cake and napoleon pastry (pictured). Out of the two... my favorite was the napoleon which is a light fluffy pastry with custard on each layer. We came here the day before NYE and I have already gone back multiple times for more ! Highly recommend!! read more

Great food, and friendly service. They were very quick with the food serving. Every minute counts when you arrive with an infant

We have been to Shoti Bread House several times over the last 6 months. The first time we went there we were served quickly, warm bread and butter was placed on the table when we sat and the food was delicious and served quickly. Every subsequent time we went there for dinner the food was good but the service seemed to get slower and slower. This last visit as usual we made reservations ahead of time and were quickly seated when we arrived. The place had several open tables when we were seated. After sitting for several minutes the waitress showed up and we ordered two spring waters and our meals. No bread and butter was ever placed on the table this time around. It took 15 minutes for the bottled water to arrive and it was warm at room temperature. Our dinners came out in shifts delivered 10 minutes apart. The waitress never came by once to ask if the food was good or if we needed anything, they just walked by and ignored us to closely tend to other patrons who apparently spoke the Georgian or Russian language. At the end of our meal we wanted to take the uneaten portions home with us but again, no waitress to be found. I had to chase down our waitress for containers to put the leftovers in, she came back with one foil container for both meals leftovers. I wanted to order dessert to go but the waitress never came back so I flagged down a different waitress and placed the dessert order. I also asked her for a cup or container to place the sauce that we wanted to take along with our leftovers. She along with the cup for the sauce never arrived. Our waitress never showed up to give us the bill so I got up went to the cashier and asked for the bill. The bill was printed out and I mentioned the dessert we ordered hadn't arrived even though it was on the bill, the cashier told me "Oh, they were getting it". As I mentioned we noticed that we were the only people there who didn't speak Georgian/Russian in the restaurant so we felt because we were "different" we were ignored. The entire "visit" for two meals took from 6 pm when we were seated to 7:30 when we left, or 1&1/2 hours which is waaay too long for two people to be served their meals. This time I didn't leave my usual 20% tip due to the poor service, in fact this time around I left no tip. Needless to say, this visit to Shoti Bread House turned out to be shoddy service in house with no bread on the table. We won't be going back to Shoti Bread House any time soon - if ever again. The food is good there but unless you can speak Georgian Kartvelian language or Russian don't expect good service. read more

Very strange variations of Georgian food. My order was for pick up, I was rushed to put and pick up the order. I felt not welcomed at this place. read more

How this place doesn't have 5 stars is beyond my comprehension. The khachapuri is what I would wish for as my last meal on death row. I just had the dumplings for the first time, and I am not sure how anyone left Georgia to come here and share this delicious cuisine with us undeserving Americans, but I am great full for it. Even their soda is better than our sodas. Please eat at this establishment because if they close, I will have to move to Georgia, and my cats don't like relocating. read more

The food here is amazing -- an adventure for the taste buds. Shoti and lobiani (bread filled with kidney bean paste, my favorite) made with expert execution. The owner is accommodating and patiently answered our many questions about the menu. Though the food may look heavy, it is not greasy at all. I highly recommend this place and am getting hungry just writing this review. read more
