role of the "supra" or tablecloth. The supra holds profound importance in Georgia, symbolising
hospitality and warmth. This communal and celebratory approach to dining captures the essence of
Georgian culinary traditions, where the joy of sharing food and raising toasts is a cherished
expression of hospitality. So, you’ll find plenty of warmth and Persian tradition at Shoty.
