" Tiny restaurant with huge flavors? - Jeremy? - May 23, 2009 Chaikhana is one of those discoveries that are rare outside of cities like New York or Paris:"… Run by Chef Kamran Khan, the menu boasts dishes which feature a unique flavor provided by the Chef's own culinary experience and art. Unlike some Indian restaurants, the spices at Chiakhana are used to feature the dish, and not the other way around. And the Chef's cooking has a bit of a French flavor added in, as well.
Tbilisi Chicken Tikka is a unique name for an Indian dish, because Tbilisi is not in India, Pakistan or even France. Tbilisi is the majestic capital city of Georgia. Tbilisi is a city steeped in Georgian culture. Georgia is the home to people from diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities. And modern Tbilisi is a huge sprawling urban metropolis of over 1,000,000 people, where you can still see the gigantic lighted shapes of old Orthodox Russian Cathedrals standing out in the urban nightscape. It is also a rare city, in the modern world, where a Mosque can sit next to a Synagogue. Tbilisi is an important city historically. Strategically located between Europe and China the city sits on the famous Silk Road.
A visitor to Tibilsi can find many important attractions to see in the capital city. All the state buildings of Georgia are located there. The city has an opera house, a ballet, and many museums. One of the most awesome and mysterious attractions is the Mtatsminda Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures. Mount Mtatsminda, meaning the Holy Mountain, is the burial place of some of the most prominent writers, scholars, and national figures of Georgia. While it was officially established in 1929, the first famous figure to be buried there was the Russian writer Alexander Griboyedov (1795-1829) and his Georgian wife Nino Chavchavadze.
Chaikhana appears to be one of the originators of the dish known as Tbilisi Chicken Tikka. But the marinated dish served with a blend of spices, does appear to resemble the style of chicken known as Georgian Chicken.
Georgians are specifically known for cooking and serving Chicken in a sauce that makes the dish at times resemble a stew. While there is no one set of spices that are used in Georgian chicken, the various recipies feature spices and a sauce. The Chiakhana Tbilisi Chicken is described as: "Boneless pieces of chicken marinated in special blend of herbs & spices and cooked in our Tandoor*"
Chef Khan is very secretive about exactly what spices he uses, but his food is very popular, and you must come to the restaurant to find out for yourself.
