Salads

Ojakhuri Salad "Georgian"

$22.00

A Georgian-style salad served as a fresh, mixed plate.

“I've been wanting to try this spot for a few years now and finally made it in tonight with some friends. We went in knowing we wanted to some khachapuri but weren't sure what else to try. Luckily our incredibly friendly and helpful server Andrii made several fantastic suggestions and we ended up with a memorable variety of dishes. Highly recommend the cold appetizers mix, ojakhuri salad, chkmeruli, khinkali, ajaruli, and the honey cake. Can't wait to come back!”

Ojakhuri Salad Small

$15.00

A small salad; its ingredients are not specified in the menu.

“Wonderful authentic Georgian food. Highly recommend the khachapuri for cheese and bread lovers, the Nigvziani Badrrijani mix of pate/ spreads, and the soup dumplings are incredible. Different from anywhere else in the Chicago. The staff are super friendly and helpful (especially if you need advice on what to order). Good wine list too.”

Georgian Cold Appetizers

Pkhali

$19.00

Chilled Georgian vegetable and walnut mixture blended with herbs.

“We ordered the Ajaruli Khachapuri, the Pkhali, the meat crepes, and the dessert of the day - the honey cake. It was my first time eating Georgian food and I absolutely LOVED it. Everything was incredible, the three appetizers were enough for two people to share and still have leftovers, and we ate that INCREDIBLE honey cake for 3 days! Honestly, I would go back just for that cake. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!”

Satsivi

$30.00

Cold Georgian poultry served with a walnut-based sauce.

“Dining at Diplomat Cafe for a taste of Georgian cuisine was an absolute delight! The vibrant flavors and rich textures of the dishes transported my taste buds to a culinary haven. The star of the experience, undoubtedly, was our server Alex. His attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm elevated our dining experience, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that every detail was met with precision. Alex's professionalism and friendly demeanor added a personal touch, making our visit memorable. I highly recommend Diplomat Cafe for its exquisite Georgian cuisine and commend the outstanding service provided by Alex. A culinary journey worth savoring!”

Soups

Chikhirtma

$15.00

Chikhirtma is Georgian chicken soup thickened with egg.

“Excellent Georgian food. The potatoes, meat, onions and spices are delicious. Plan to return and try different items. Highly fresh and nice atmosphere with busy, but friendly staff. If you enjoy Georgian/Eastern European/Western Asian cultural food you will enjoy this place.”

Khachapuri

Ajaruli

$23.00

Boat-shaped bread filled with cheese and topped with egg.

“Do not leave here without trying the Ajaruli bread! It sounds a little adventurous with the egg on top, but it’s so comforting and delicious that anyone would love it. Beef stew was also good but next time I might skip an entree just so I can eat more of this bread.”

Megruli

$29.00

Georgian cheese bread with cheese baked inside and another layer on top.

“Chicago Diplomat Cafe is a fantastic Georgian restaurant with an extensive selection of authentic dishes. The Megruli khachapuri, filled with generous amounts of cheese and topped with crispy smoked Sulvuni, was a delicious highlight. The aromatic and well-seasoned Ojakhuri was also a standout. Don't forget to complement your meal with their excellent Georgian semi-sweet wines.”

Dumplings

Kebabs

Chicken

Georgian Stews

Lobio

$21.00

A Georgian preparation of beans, served as a savory hot dish.

“What a great experience! My friends and I had never had Georgian food before and we were especially impressed with the vegetarian options. The pkhali and the bean stew were such pleasant surprises. Of course the khachapuri was a crowd pleaser because who can say no to bread and cheese? The Georgian wine was also excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and overall I can’t wait to go back.”
