Shoti Bread House 14-29 River Road, Fair Lawn, NJ 07410

"This was a WONDERFUL dining experience! The food was fantastic, and the service was truly a pleasure! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings can get quite busy, but reservations are accepted! You must try the Georgian lemonade! It's my new favorite drink! The lamb with tarragon and the bread with the cheese and poached egg were incredible!!!"

"Didn't know that there was authentic Georgian food in Bergen county. Food was great and economical. My only suggestion would be to the people serving that they need to be a little more calm especially when we don't know much about the cuisine. The place does get crowded during the weekend. Give it a try"

"Really amazing food. I looked up the menu before I came and even looked up names of the dishes because I never had Georgian food before. It’s mostly meat, bread and cheese dishes. Everything is delicious and very good. They give you warm complimentary bread with butter to start. We got the Adjarul bread as well, which is the boat shaped bread with egg and cheese. the waitress was so nice and mixed it for us at the table since we never done it before. It cooks the eggs instantly. Reminds me of fondue. The bread is so buttery and melts in your mouth. We got the medium $11 and couldn’t finish it between the both of us. We also got he grape leaf appetizer which we couldn’t finish either but it was really good and packed with meat. I really like the whipped butter on the side. We also got the order of 5 lamb dumplings. They are soup dumplings and warm the soul! Great flavor of the meat and broth and I loved the texture of the dumpling dough. They are big and filling. For dessert we looked at the refrigerator of desserts and the waitress told us about each one. We went with the bird milk cake and a slice of the more chocolate looking cake. Both were very good, square layered cake with creme filling. Both not too sweet and easy to eat. Huge slices. I liked the bird milk cake the best, it had a chocolate frosting type thing on the top. I also got churchkhela which they make there too and from grapes. It looks like a fruit roll up and has walnuts and nuts in it. Excellent experience. It’s so warm and rustic inside. Pictures of Georgia on the wall. It feels like you are transported to the country. It was pretty busy at 3 on a Sunday. Small parking lot too, only about 4 spaces. Def come here and try this amazing cuisine!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This place was an amazing find! It was my first time trying Georgian food, and I must say, I had an exceptional experience. The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. As a Hispanic person, I was a bit apprehensive about trying a completely new cuisine, but the menu was surprisingly comprehensive, offering a wide array of options. Almost everything on the menu was unfamiliar to me, but that made it even more exciting! To my surprise, the flavors in Georgian food were not as different from what I'm used to in my Hispanic cuisine. However, the combination of spices and unique ingredients made it an unforgettable and truly novel culinary adventure. Each dish was bursting with delightful flavors that tantalized my taste buds in the most delightful way. If you're looking for a new and exciting dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The blend of familiar and novel flavors will take your palate on an exhilarating journey. I highly recommend it, especially if you've never tried Georgian cuisine before. Trust me; you won't be disappointed! In conclusion, the restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to return to explore more of their delicious offerings. Kudos to the chef and the entire team for creating such a wonderful dining experience. Don't miss out on this gem; go and savor the flavors of Georgia for yourself!"

"I'm always on the hunt for different cuisines to try, that I don't normally eat. Shoti Bread House has been on my radar for a while, and we finally got the chance to check it out one Friday. We came at around 6 pm and there were a good amount of people dining there already. Out of the handful of times I've tried Georgian food, all of them have involved khachapuri, or the bread boat filled with cheese. So this time, I wanted to do something a bit lighter, and try something else. We ordered: -Strawberry compote - a really sweet and syrupy strawberry juice, which I would not recommend -Shoti (grilled bread) - first plate is complimentary and extra is $3, but so worth worth it. It's warm and perfectly grilled and they give you butter on the side -Potato pancake - not sure if it’s supposed to be soft but I was expecting it to be crispy -Khashi (beef tripe and leg soup) - I have tried this soup elsewhere before but this was a bit bland. However, I did appreciate that the waiter explained the dish to us and even recommended that most people add milk to the soup (which did make it better) -Shkmerull (cornish hen in creamy garlic sauce) - this was my husband's choice. It was okay, but probably not something I would have ordered -Lamb Lula Kebab (ground lamb wrapped in lavash bread) - this was both of our favorites of the night. They do not skimp on the lamb Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The servers were really patient. Most of the people dining there seemed like locals, so it was nice that they took the time to explain certain menu items with us. We will definitely be back to try some other dishes, and for that lamb kebab!"
