Khinkali House

I've been coming to this place for over six years, and it has never disappointed me. Here is delicious food, fresh ingredients and the quality has stayed the same year after year! The menu has a great variety dishes, including appetizers, khinkali, khachapuri, homemade soups, grilled skewers, fresh salads, desserts, and a good selection of wines, cocktails, coffee, and tea. I always order the boiled khinkali because I just don't understand the fried ones! The dough is perfectly cooked, the filling is juicy, and the meat is always flavorful. I also highly recommend the mushroom khinkali. They actually taste like real wild forest mushrooms instead of ordinary button mushrooms with no taste. I was so happy to see borscht added to the menu. It's rich, hearty, full of tender beef, and has a deep homemade flavor. Definitely order an extra side of sour cream. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. This is one of the places in Glendale I recommend without hesitation.

Khinkali House in Glendale is a rare opportunity for truly delicious food 😄 Yes, it's a little pricey, but after the first bite, any questions about the prices disappear. The service is excellent—fast, polite, and with a smile. My personal favorite is the fried lamb khinkali. It's not just a dish, it's fantastic 🔥 Another plus is the warm and beautiful girls who greet and see guests off, making you feel like you're not just here for a meal, but in a good mood. A place you'll want to return to... and again and again!

Unfortunately, our experience at this Georgian restaurant was very disappointing overall. Right when entering the dining area, there was an unpleasant smell that seemed to be coming from the kitchen. The chicken soup we ordered for our child was overly salty, the rice in it was undercooked, and the broth didn’t taste fresh. The khinkali filling had such a strong garlic smell and taste that it completely overpowered everything else. The only highlight was the khachapuri — it was actually delicious. However, the worst impression came from the restroom. It was honestly the dirtiest restaurant bathroom I’ve ever seen. A rusty trash bin and toilet paper holder looked very unkempt, but what shocked me most was the extremely dirty plumbing fixtures. It felt like they hadn’t been properly cleaned for weeks, if not longer. Seeing this level of hygiene in the restroom makes me worried about the cleanliness of the kitchen. It’s hard to understand how management allows this. Overall, a very unpleasant experience — sadly, I can’t recommend this place.

Had to go to Glendale to take a civil-service exam, so I took advantage of the opportunity to try some authentic cooking from the Eurasian country of Georgia, which borders Turkey and Armenia. Got take-out: the megrelsky (similar to cheese pizza, perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned) one boiled lamb khinkali (dumpling) one fried ground-beef khinkali. All delicious, oil didn’t feel too heavy or too light; just the right amount of salt and seasoning. The lamb was just about perfect — tender, juicy, and flavorful, enveloped in savory broth. The fried dumpling was done just enough, and ground beef has never tasted so delicious 😋 $31.95 with tax. Staff is a mix of Georgians, Russians and Ukrainians, and their language sounds beautiful. It’s been said that war was invented so Americans could learn geography, and I hope the same will be said of LA-area restaurants 🙏🏻 If I lived nearby, I’d treat myself monthly.

Get the dumplings! I mean, it's in the name of the place! Trust me, you won't regret it! Got their Zhengyalov Hatz, but compared to another place I've been to, it's not bad, BUT the herbal flavors weren't as strong as what I've tried elsewhere. Still not bad though! I'd still come back and try their other dishes!

Fantastic dinner, we had a religious experience with the beef khinkali Georgian dumplings, we tried both fried and boiled dumplings with all the fillings, and the staff were very kind and taught us the proper way to eat them without making a mess. Highly recommend the boiled beef and fried cheese with some Georgian wine and cake, ptchye moloko.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The service truly elevated our visit. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about the dishes, especially the khinkali, and shared so much interesting information about Georgian cuisine that we actually thought she was Georgian! It turned out she was Armenian, which made her deep knowledge and passion even more impressive. She was attentive and genuinely cared that we enjoyed every dish we ordered, making sure everything met our expectations. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic flavors and excellent service.

After trying Khinkali House, I honestly cannot eat khinkali anywhere else anymore — they truly have the best ones! The dough is perfectly thin, the filling is always so juicy and flavorful, and everything tastes incredibly fresh and delicious. The service is always great, the atmosphere is cozy, and every dish we’ve tried has been amazing. One of my absolute favorite places!
