It’s not every day you’ll find authentic Georgian food here in Washington (and for the record, we mean the cuisine of the country at the intersection of Europe and Asia). But in 2019, Dediko opened in Vancouver, bringing the delicious dishes of George right here to the Evergreen State. And while most Washingtonians are unfamiliar with a Georgian menu, most also find they absolutely love what’s being served here.

Dediko is located on West Evergreen Blvd. in Vancouver, where it opened last summer.

Mark Hanna / Google The interior is cozy and intimate, and due to current conditions and restrictions, reservations are recommended.

It all started when Ella Bakh, who grew up in Georgia and moved to the United States in 1996, decided to put her cooking skills to good use and open the restaurant of her dreams.

Fivos / TripAdvisor Bakh had always had a passion for cooking and baking, so she opened the eatery with the help of her adult son.

Dediko’s menu is full of tasty Georgian classics, like soup-filled dumplings called khinkali, walnut-heavy vegetable dishes called phkali, and lots of grilled meats and veggies.

Fivos / TripAdvisor They also make the country’s signature stuffed breads, known as khachapuri, which are downright addictive.

The food here is both nutritious and delicious, so you don’t have to feel guilty about dining here if you’re watching your diet.

Yevheniy Shestakov / Google If you’re a fan of stew, try the lobio, a bean stew served in an imported Georgian pot, complete with a side of fermented vegetables and a Georgian cornbread called mchadi.

Ella Bakh really did her homework before she opened Dediko.

Fivos / TripAdvisor She completed courses at the Northwest Culinary Institute in Vancouver, which included an internship in Tbilisi. Tbilisi. is Georgia’s capital city and Bakh’s hometown.

This is one restaurant where you’ll definitely want to save room for dessert.

Fivos / TripAdvisor And if you imbibe, enjoy it with some Georgian wine – the restaurant specializes in it.

Dediko is open Tuesday - Friday from 3 - 9 p.m., Saturday from noon - 3 p.m. and from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m., and Sundays from noon - 5 p.m.
