Saami Somi means three doughs in Georgian and this spot in Reading Terminal Market is serving the street foods of the former Soviet Republic.
The main dish is called khach'ap'uri. It's a boat-shaped loaf of bread stuffed with a heaping pile of cheese. The cheese boats come in a collection of flavors like traditional or walnut brie.
Saami Somi is the project of siblings, Michael and Donna Kolodesh. Their parents are from Georgia's capital city of Tbilisi. They grew up in Northeast Philadelphia in a household filled with Georgian traditions and culture. Georgia's language is one of the oldest in the world and there's a mural on the floor with phrases in both English and Georgian language and a poster on the wall with the Georgian alphabet.
The siblings took their grandmother's Georgian street food recipes and gave them to Ukrainian chef, Lor Kats.
