Why Visit Megobari?
The reasons are concrete. Megobari offers a wide Georgian menu in the center, with several kinds of Adjarian khachapuri, the boat-shaped bread, baked in a wooden oven, and khinkali made to old recipes from chopped meat, according to a description of the project.
A brazier in the hall grills shashlik, and the wine list leans on Georgian producers. The Maroseyka location is near Kitay-Gorod, Zaryadye Park and Red Square, so it suits a meal after sightseeing, and a listing gives hours to 06:00 on Friday and Saturday, which is late for the center. Prices were not found, so check the menu.
Highlights of Megobari
Khachapuri from the wooden oven
A description of the project says that various kinds of Adjarian khachapuri with fillings for every taste are baked in a wooden oven. Adjarian khachapuri is the boat-shaped bread with cheese and an egg in the middle. The oven is the heart of the kitchen, so look for the bread coming out hot. The range of fillings changes, so ask the waiter what is on offer.
Tip: Order khachapuri to share and eat it while it is hot.
Khinkali made to old recipes
The project description says that khinkali are made to ancient recipes from chopped meat. Khinkali are large Georgian dumplings, eaten by hand: hold the knot, bite, drink the broth and leave the knot. The fillings on the current menu were not checked, so ask which are available.
Tip: Eat khinkali by the knot and leave it on the plate.
Shashlik from the brazier
There is a brazier in the hall where shashlik, the grilled skewered meat, is cooked, according to the project description. Seeing the grill is part of the setting. The cuts on offer were not checked, so ask the waiter. Georgian shashlik is usually eaten with bread and sauces.
Tip: Ask which meats come off the brazier that day.
Georgian wines
The wine list includes many Georgian wines, according to the project description, and a guide calls Megobari a Georgian wine bar. Georgian wine is a good pairing for khachapuri and grilled meat. The list was not read, so ask the staff to suggest a wine by the glass or the bottle.
Tip: Ask for a Georgian wine you cannot find at home.
Hand-made baked goods and stews
A Moscow guide says the menu includes hand-made baked goods, meat stews and kebab platters, besides the wines of Georgian mountains. Stews and bread are the comfort side of the cuisine, good for a cold evening. The menu changes, so check it before you go.
Tip: Order a stew with bread for a full meal.

A restaurant guide lists two more branches of Megobari in Moscow, and a separate listing shows one at Andropova Avenue 1 in the south of the city, with different hours. The menu and the atmosphere may differ between branches. Use the official site to pick the one nearest your route.

About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
