Primorski was opened by Buba Khotoveli in 1981.
Primorski is one of the original restaurants & nightclubs on Brighton Beach. Buba is a
Georgian Jew so naturally many of Primorski's food is ethnic Georgian-Jewish
Cuisine. Ethnic Georgian dishes include Khachapuri (Patty with mixed
Cheeses), Khinkali (Georgian Dumplings), Lobio (Fried Red Beans with Walnuts), our
Georgian Bread "Lavash" made fresh on our premises, just to
name a few. Ethnic Jewish dishes include our New York Times acclaimed
Gefilte Fish, Herring with Onions, and Dumplings.
When Primorski first opened it seated 75 people. Buba
took a very hands on approach to running his restaurant. Buba spent hours
in the kitchen preparing his ethnic Georgian dishes. All of Primorski's
dishes have a home cooked touch to this day.
Primorski became a famous hangout for Americans that wanted
to get a taste of the Georgian and Russian culture. People love to come to Primorski
for our great food, music, and dancing. With the success of Primorski, the
restaurant grew from a capacity of 75 to 140 and now to 210.
Since Buba retired in early 2003, his two sons, Jacob and
Michael, try to make Primorski keep in its tradition of being the "oldest and
finest Russian Restaurant in New York", with new entertainment, and variety of
new Georgian and Russian dishes.
In mid 2005, the torch had been passed on
again when Primorski was sold. Now new owners Sasha, Fima, and Ruben will
continue on in the tradition of Primorski.
