Mimino

This Georgian takeout joint also has four seats at the window, if you're just passing through. That's where I had at my harcho ($3.99), a spicy and oily soup with tomato, onion, lots of cilantro, and two fatty hunks of lamb. A quarter-slab of lavash was indifferent; even when it came to soaking up soup; the harcho itself was appetizing but not filling. Judging by the continued flow of what seemed like regular customers, however, this might be a good place to provision a picnic on the beach.
