A short guide
What is khachapuri?
Khachapuri is Georgian cheese bread. If you have not had it before, this is the difference between the ones we bake.
- Imeruli
- Traditional round bread filled with melty cheese. The everyday one.
- Megruli
- Same round bread, filled with cheese and topped with extra cheese.
- Acharuli
- Boat-shaped bread filled with cheese, topped with egg and butter.
- Penovani
- Layered flaky bread filled with cheese. The quick, hand-held one.
Not in the mood for cheese? Lobiani is filled with spiced beans, kubdari with spiced meat, and chakhrakina with beet leaves.

Megruli Khachapuri
Round bread filled with cheese and topped with extra cheese.
Imeruli's richer cousin from Samegrelo in western Georgia. Same dough, same filling, but a second layer of cheese goes over the top before baking so it browns and blisters into a crust. If you like the crisp cheesy edges on a pizza, this is the one to order.
How it is eaten
Straight from the oven, in wedges. The top layer sets as it cools, so it is at its best in the first ten minutes.
Imeruli Khachapuri
Traditional round bread filled with melty cheese.
The everyday khachapuri of Imereti in central Georgia, and the one most Georgians mean when they just say "khachapuri". A soft round loaf with the cheese worked all the way through the middle rather than sitting on top, so every piece is the same.
How it is eaten
Cut into wedges and eaten with your hands, hot enough that the cheese still pulls. Good on its own, better with a glass of something cold.
Lobiani
Traditional round bread filled with spiced beans.
The same round shape as imeruli khachapuri, but filled with beans instead of cheese — kidney beans cooked soft, mashed, and seasoned with onion, coriander and often a little blue fenugreek. Traditionally eaten at Barbaroba, the feast of St Barbara in December, and eaten happily all year round.
How it is eaten
In wedges, warm. Hearty enough to be lunch by itself, and it travels well.
Kubdari
Bread filled with spiced meat.
The meat bread of Svaneti, high in the Caucasus mountains. What makes it kubdari rather than any other meat pie is that the meat is hand-chopped rather than minced, and seasoned hard — most often with svanuri marili, the Svan salt blend of coriander, blue fenugreek, dill seed, garlic and chilli.
How it is eaten
In wedges, hot, with the juices soaking into the bread. Mountain food built for cold weather.
Chakhrakina
Traditional bread dough filled with beet leaves.
From Khevi in eastern Georgia, the Kazbegi region, and the least-known of the group outside Georgia — which is a shame. Beet greens are wilted and chopped with onion and herbs, then folded into a thin round of dough. Earthy and green rather than rich, and the one to order if you want something lighter than cheese.
How it is eaten
In wedges, warm or at room temperature. Good alongside a cheese khachapuri rather than instead of one.
Penovani Khachapuri
Layered flaky bread filled with cheese.
Penovani means layered. Instead of a soft yeasted dough this uses a laminated, puff-pastry-style dough folded around the cheese and baked until the layers separate and shatter. Usually folded into a square or triangle, and the most portable khachapuri there is.
How it is eaten
In the hand, walking. The classic breakfast-on-the-way-somewhere khachapuri.
