AVRA’S STORY

“More Than Great Food”

AVRA stands as Bangkok's sole and most genuine Greek and Georgian restaurant. The inspiration behind AVRA's menu arises from a profound appreciation for exquisite cuisine and a passion to introduce the finest flavors of both Georgian and Greek gastronomy.

The dishes at AVRA boast a delightful blend of savory and well-seasoned tastes, consistently delivering comfort and delectability. Each plate tells a captivating story, infused with the essence of Georgia and Greece, and a generous portion of love.

Greek cuisine, with a rich heritage extending back 4000 years, holds a special place in culinary history. Notably, Archestratos, a Greek philosopher and poet celebrated as the world's first professional chef, is credited with coining the term "Gastronomy," signifying the "Art of the Stomach."

Georgian cuisine, on the other hand, exhibits its own distinctive character, influenced by various culinary traditions from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

One of the defining features of Georgian cuisine is its use of aromatic herbs and spices, which infuse dishes with complex and delightful flavors. Ingredients such as walnuts, pomegranates, and a variety of herbs are staples in Georgian cooking, adding a distinct freshness and depth to many dishes.

KHINKALI BLACK PEPPER

Khinkali is a popular Georgian dumpling dish known for its unique shape and delicious filling. These dumplings are traditionally filled with spiced minced meat, typically a mixture of beef and pork, along with various seasonings such as

onions, garlic, and cilantro. Khinkali can also come in different varieties, including vegetarian options that use ingredients like mushrooms, potatoes, or cheese as a filling. They are usually boiled or steamed.

Nom Nom Nom

Syrniki, a cherished Russian and Ukrainian treat, are cheese pancakes crafted from quark cheese, eggs, flour, and sugar. These fried delights boast a crispy exterior and a creamy, slightly sweet interior, typically served with sour cream or jam. The preparation is a straightforward yet magical process, as the dough is formed into small, flattened rounds and pan-fried to achieve a golden-brown exterior, creating a delightful interplay of textures. The dough is also mouth-wateringly fluffy and soft.

SYRNIKI

Tahun lemonade, a refreshing and zesty beverage, captures the essence of a tropical paradise in every sip. This exotic elixir combines the tangy brightness of lemons with the subtle sweetness of ripe, sun-kissed fruit, resulting in a harmonious fusion of flavors that dance on your palate. Tahun lemonade is the perfect companion for warm days, offering a revitalizing burst of citrusy goodness that leaves you feeling invigorated and ready to embrace the sunshine.

TAHUN LEMONADE

Bobo de camarao

Having to get to experience going to AVRA was absolutelty wonderful. Not only was all of the food unique to me, they also tasted delicious. My favourite was definitely the kachapuri as I love to eat cheese. I also liked the khinkali. It tasted very similar to pasta, or chewy dumplings as they also had minced meat inside.

The chkmeruli’s chicken was tender and the garlic accentuated the dish in a plethora of aspects. Drink-wise, the tahun lemonade was

zingy, like a soda pop, but with an aftertaste unfamiliar to me. Lastly, the dessert - syrniki, was not one my favourites (probably because I dislike the taste of when overly sweet and overly savoury meet), but I would predict that any other individual would enjoy it as all my friends had no problem downing the dish.

The restaurant’s interior was also decorated in theme which suited the atmosphere and the food well. Overall a good experience, although the price is on the high side.

Doro Wat is known as the national dish of Ethiopia and one of the most famous of all African dishes. It is a spicy chicken stew, mouthwatering, and comforting one-pot dish slowly simmered in a blend of robust spices. Injera, an Ethiopian flatbread, is served to accompany this dish. Both the sourness of the injera and the smoky beef are a perfect match when eaten together in one bite.

ETHIOPIANCOFFEE

Coffee from Ethiopia is renowned for its vibrant fruity and flowery characteristics. It often contains complex taste nuances, a light to medium body, and a stronger acidity. The processing technique significantly influences the coffee's final flavor. Ethiopia is the largest producer of coffee in Africa and the 5th largest in the world.

At first, Ethiopian food can be intimidating due to the look and spices in each dish. The injera, a fermented flatbread, does not have the best smell and is very sour when eaten by itself. Injera also has many holes so it does look slightly scary. However, when the injera is paired with the different spices that the dish comes with, especially Doro wat and the Ethiopia Meat Combo, it is very tasteful.

We had ordered a Banana filled Sambusa as the dessert. The spring roll wrapper itself is very nice and light when eating. It is also served with ketchup and makes a wonderful match. By the end, we ordered 2 servings because it was so delicious. Sambusa are definitely the highlight of this meal and it is a very enjoyable dish. Anyone who comes is able to eat it with no worries.

One major cultural shock is eating with our hands instead of using a fork and spoon. This was expected since the moment we came into the restaurant, there were not any individual plates given out but rather eating together directly from the plate it was served in. It was an eye opening experience, however, the smell of the spices and flavorful food would stick to your hands for a little while. Overall this experience is definitely something you cannot find at any other reaturant.

A "melting pot" is a metaphorical concept that describes a society or community in which people from different ethnic, cultural, or national backgrounds come together and blend into a single unified culture or identity.
