Racha resides in an old British Mandate period building on Havatzelet Street in Jerusalem, in the heart of the city, and its name derives from the Racha region in Georgia, where the restaurant owners were born and raised.

Racha's dining experience begins in the kitchen, with native Racha region chefs, led by the family matriarch, Tina. The kitchen serves the best of Georgian cuisne, all with the personal touch of the family, and offers a celebration of colors and tastes.

Among the recommended dishes are Ispanakhis, which is a spinach tapenade with walnuts in a wine vinegar; Patrigianni, where eggplant is layered among a mixture of walnuts and herbs; and Chanakhi, a dish that combines layers of lamb with potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, and herbs, served on a bed of rice.
