My
colleagues
and
I
literally
walked
to
and
from
the
Hotel
Rzeszów
in
the
heart
of
the
city
to
this
amazing
restaurant.
By
the
time
we
arrived,
we
were
all
thirsty
as
it
was
warm
outside.
The
Georgian
beer
hit
the
spot
perfectly.
The
owner
was
proud
to
have
us
in
his
restaurant.
The
waitress
was
also
wonderful
and
spoke
English
well.
Luckily,
we
had
a
menu
in
English
although
we
all
knew
we
wanted
some
Khachapuri
and
some
Khinkali.
We
ended
up
getting
two
appetizers
of
each.
The
five
of
us
opted
for
a
platter
called
the
Desk
of
Sakartvelo.
This
dish
contained
a
pchali
mix,
a
mix
of
pickled
vegetables,
baked
potatoes,
Georgian
sausages,
Lula
kebab,
skewered
pork,
skewered
chicken,
grilled
chicken
wings,
lamb
ribs,
cheese
sticks,
grape
leaves,
bakhcha,
Khachapuri,
Khinkali
Tblisis
style,
and
sauce.
I
am
full
just
typing
of
all
this.
This
owner
proudly
brought
the
dish
to
our
table
with
such
a
smile.
We
finished
just
about
everything.
The
platter
even
came
with
a
half
liter
of
wine,
which
was
finished
with
no
problem.
Then,
the
owner
brought
on
the
typical
Georgian
shots.
We
stopped
at
two,
but
he
may
have
kept
going.
After
dinner,
we
all
dressed
up
in
Georgian
attire
for
one
final
photo.
What
a
great
dining
experience.
I
did
learn
why
the
platter
was
called
Sakartvelo.
Georgia
is
the
Western
name
of
a
country
in
the
Caucasus.
However,
locals
call
it
Sakartvelo.
The
name
comes
from
the
core
Georgian
region
of
Kartli,
also
known
as
Iberia
in
Byzantine
and
Classical
sources.
It’s
believed
that
the
Russian
name
Gruzya
and
the
Western
name
came
from
the
Persian
designation
for
the
area,
“gurğān,”meaning
the
“land
of
the
wolves.”
However,
there
is
more
than
one
theory
as
to
how
the
country
came
to
be
called
Georgia.
Sakartvelo
consists
of
two
parts:
its
root,
Kartvel-i,
which
formerly
represents
a
resident
of
the
central
region
of
Kartli,
and
its
Georgian
prefix/suffix
combination
“sa-o”
that
stands
for
a
general
geographic
identification
meaning
“the
area
where
…
live.”
By
the
early
ninth
century,
the
definition
of
“Kartli”
had
been
extended
to
other
regions
of
the
country
that
shared
similar
cultures,
religions,
and
languages.
How
is
that
for
a
filling
history
lesson.
I
was
so
full
that
I
wanted
to
call
a
cab,
but
was
out
voted
four
to
one.
At
least,
I
will
burn
off
some
of
these
wonderful
calories.
This
is
a
must
dine
experience
in
Rzeszów.
Don't
miss
out!
