What to expect
Adžika Grill House is a popular charcoal-grill vendor inside the Bernardinų kiemas food court at Maironio g. 12, beside the Bernardine Garden on the edge of the Old Town. Because it sits within the courtyard's cluster of stalls, you can mix and match — order grilled meat here and grab drinks or a side from a neighbouring vendor, then sit out in the central garden setting.
The menu is focused on what it does well: high-quality meats grilled over real charcoal and served with homemade sauces and fresh vegetables. The signature is the šašlykas (shashlik), described by regulars as the 'golden standard', with lamb chops a popular alternative and a tender chicken šašlykas often recommended for children. The namesake homemade adžika — a spicy Caucasian sauce — comes alongside. Ask for your order without pita bread for a gluten-free plate.
