Frequently asked questions
General & Food
What is Georgian cuisine?
Georgian food from the country of Georgia, between Europe and Asia. Think walnuts, pomegranate, herbs, and cheeses, plus breads, dumplings, stews, and wine meant for the table. Built to share.
Do you have a corkage fee?
Yes. Guests can bring their own wine. Corkage is $30 per 750ml bottle. Please bring something that is not already on our wine list.
Where can I park?
Free street parking on University Ave and nearby streets. There is also a free public garage directly behind the restaurant, plus other public garages a short walk away.
Do you take reservations?
Yes, we accept reservations for lunch and dinner. You can book a table directly on our website or give us a call. We recommend booking in advance for Friday and Saturday evenings.
What is Khachapuri (Cheese Boat)?
Our signature cheese bread. Adjaruli comes boat-shaped, filled with melted cheese and butter, finished with an egg. Tear the edges, swirl the middle, eat with your hands. Best hot from the oven.
How do I eat Khinkali (Dumplings)?
With your hands. Hold each dumpling by the twist, bite a small hole, sip the broth, then eat the rest. The twist usually stays on the plate.
Do you have vegetarian or vegan options?
Yes. Georgian food has plenty of plant-based plates. Try Mushroom Khinkali, Ajapsandali (vegetable stew), Pkhali (vegetable spreads with walnuts), and fresh salads.
Is your menu gluten-free friendly?
We have several gluten-free dishes, such as our Grilled Chicken, Fish, and vegetable appetizers. However, please note that our kitchen uses a lot of flour for our breads, so there is a risk of cross-contamination for those with severe allergies.
Do you offer takeout and delivery?
Yes. The best way is to order pickup or delivery straight from us with the Order Online button on our website. Pickup orders are tip-free too. We're also on DoorDash and Uber Eats, our official delivery partners.
Can you accommodate large groups or private events?
Absolutely. Parties of up to 12 guests can book online, and for bigger groups just write us. Any group of 4 or more can choose a set family-style group menu at $63, $78 or $110 per person, or order from the regular menu. Our semi-private space holds up to 15 guests and the private dining room seats up to 25. For larger gatherings we can use the main dining room, the covered patio, or a full restaurant buyout. Write us with the date and headcount and we will confirm the space. Every group menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. Bevri is tip-free, so there is no room fee, no service charge and no automatic gratuity. Check out our Private Events page for more details or to submit an inquiry.
Do you have dog-friendly seating?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on our outdoor patio.
Do you accept tips? / Is gratuity included?
Bevri is tip-free. The price on the menu is the price on the bill (tax aside). No tip line, no service charge, no automatic gratuity.
Can I come with kids?
Yes. Families come in every day. We have high chairs, and there are plenty of dishes kids usually like: khachapuri (cheese bread), khinkali (dumplings), grilled meats, potatoes and fresh salads. Nothing on the menu is spicy by default.
How much does dinner cost per person?
Most guests spend about $40 to $60 per person for dinner. We do not add a service charge and we do not accept tips, so the price you see is the price you pay.
I have never had Georgian food. What should I order?
Start with khachapuri (cheese bread) and khinkali (soup dumplings), then add a grilled meat and a salad to share. Most dishes are for the table. Ask us if you want a short path through the menu.
We are a group with very different tastes. Will everyone find something?
Yes. The menu covers grilled meats, dumplings, breads, stews, salads, and vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Mixed groups usually do fine.
Can we come without a reservation?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome. We keep tables for walk-in guests, though on Friday and Saturday evenings there may be a wait, so a reservation is a safer bet if you have a fixed time.
Is there a patio? Is it covered and heated?
Yes. Our patio on University Avenue is covered and heated, so it is comfortable year round, and it is also where guests with dogs usually sit. The covered, heated patio is split into two areas, so it works well for a group.
Can we bring our own cake?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a cake for a birthday or celebration. The cake-cutting fee is $3 per person.
What are your hours? Are you open on holidays?
We are open every day from 11:30am to 9:00pm. We're open on Thanksgiving with regular hours. The only two days we close are December 31 and January 1.
Is the restaurant stroller and wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The entrance and dining room are on street level, so strollers and wheelchairs are no problem. Let us know when you arrive and we will seat you where there is the most room.
Where can we have dinner for 20 people near University Ave?
Bevri is at 335 University Ave in downtown Palo Alto. Our semi-private space holds up to 15 guests and the private dining room seats up to 25. For larger gatherings we can use the main dining room, the covered patio, or a full restaurant buyout. Write us with the date and headcount and we will confirm the space. A party of 20 usually goes in the private dining room. You can order from the regular menu or choose a set group menu, starting at $63 per person, and because we are tip-free there is no service charge and no automatic gratuity.

Is Bevri good for a group dinner in Palo Alto?
Yes, and the food is built for it. A Georgian supra means a long table covered in dishes everyone shares, so a group eats the way this cuisine is meant to be eaten. Our private dining room seats up to 25 and our semi-private space holds up to 15. Set group menus at $63, $78 and $110 per person mean nobody has to order individually, and there is no service charge and no automatic gratuity on large parties.
Is Bevri a good place for a date night?
It works well. Dinner is unhurried, the room stays conversational, and Georgian qvevri wine is new to most guests. Dinner runs about $40 to $60 per person, and because we are tip-free that is the whole bill (tax aside).
Can we host a business dinner or a team dinner at Bevri?
Yes, we host corporate dinners, offsites, client dinners and team celebrations regularly. Parties of up to 12 can book online, and for larger groups just write us. Any group of 4 or more can choose a set group menu, or order from the regular menu. Our semi-private space holds up to 15 guests and the private dining room seats up to 25. For larger gatherings we can use the main dining room, the covered patio, or a full restaurant buyout. Write us with the date and headcount and we will confirm the space. Set group menus keep the billing simple: one price per person, no service charge and no tip line, so the invoice matches what you were quoted.
We are visiting Stanford. How far is Bevri, and is it walkable?
Bevri is at 335 University Ave in downtown Palo Alto, about a mile and a half from the Stanford campus and a short walk from the Palo Alto Caltrain station. There is a free public parking garage directly behind the restaurant and free street parking nearby. University Avenue itself is easy to walk, so dinner here works well before or after something on campus.

Yes. Parties of up to 12 guests can book online on our reservations page, or by phone at (650) 600-0433.

We can seat you in the semi-private space, which holds up to 15 guests.
What is the largest group Bevri can seat?
Our semi-private space holds up to 15 guests and the private dining room seats up to 25. For larger gatherings we can use the main dining room, the covered patio, or a full restaurant buyout.
