OUR STORY
Ever since I came to America in 1995, I have wanted to open a restaurant and share the Georgian culinary tradition.
The name Tamari derives from three sources: my daughter; my grandmother, who passed her love of cooking down to me; and Queen Tamari of the 12th century, who led Georgia to peace and prosperity. These women continue to inspire me, and it was with them in mind that I opened this restaurant. We are family owned and operated, serving 100% authentic, Georgian food. We pride ourselves on serving only the freshest and highest quality food and wine.
Facts about Georgia:
– Georgia is one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Dated over 8000 years ago
– Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, was founded in the 5th century
– Georgia is the birthplace of wine and home to over 500 indigenous grape varieties
– Europe’s highest settlement, Ushguli, is in Georgia at 6,900 feet
– Georgia has the world’s most liberal visa policy
