Vancouver Now Has Its Very-Own Georgian Restaurant!Dediko, owned by a mother-son team, serves the country’s famous stuffed breads and dumplings out of a cheery Evergreen Boulevard cafe. Dediko’s menu is stacked with the classics of that region, with a number of different khachapuri, soup-filled dumplings called khinkali, walnut-heavy vegetable dishes called phkali, and various grilled meats called mtsvadi. Also coming from the grill, Dediko’s kababi consists of a kebab-like grilled ground chicken patty with Georgian spices, folded in a roll of lavash flatbread. Nico Bakh is partial to a homey dish called lobio, a bean stew served in an imported Georgian pot, complete with a side of fermented vegetables and a Georgian cornbread called mchadi.

His favorite childhood memories include the tastes of dulce de leche, flan and grilled breads, reminiscent of South American flavors and commonly found on South African kitchen tables.

    1st time visiting and we came by word of mouth. So many things to talk about but I’ll go top three: Food tasted good and felt like the price was reasonable. The drinks tasted good with the right alcohol content. The attention to detail on plating the food and the use of fruit to decorate the drinks made me feel they have pride in what they serve. Finally, get the Dole Whip…we’ve been to the plantation and know what it’s supposed to taste like and this is it! We love soft serve and it was real good. Yes, we will be back!
