In the roaring galley of a steam‑powered bazaar, gears hiss and pistons grind as skewers of spiced meat are wrapped in warm bread. Kababi, the Georgian bread‑wrapped kebab, becomes a mechanical marvel — smoky meat encased in rustic dough, a portable feast for travelers of the steam age.
Kababi is a Georgian street‑food variation of kebab, where grilled minced meat skewers are wrapped in lavash bread. It is often served with onions, herbs, and sauces like tkemali or adjika. This dish reflects Georgia’s tradition of combining hearty grilled meats with bread, making it both convenient and flavorful. This variant came to the country through historical contacts with the Persian and Ottoman empires. It is usually prepared by mixing beef, pork, or lamb with onions and Georgian spices and shaping the mixture onto skewers. Kababi is traditionally served in thin lavash bread, sprinkled with onions and sour barberries or spicy ajika. Unlike mtsvadi, which is eaten with shoti bread, kababi highlights the diversity of Georgian barbecue culture.
