Say this to the waiter (Georgian)
დარწმუნდით, რომ ფქვილი არ არის გამოყენებული გასასქელებლად. ტყემალს ან მწვანე ტყემალს შაქარი არ უნდა ჰქონდეს დამატებული, ან ზომიერად გამოიყენეთ. ხახვი ცოტა, თუ შეიძლება.
Please ensure no flour thickeners are used. Confirm tkemali/plums have no added sugar, or are used moderately. Reduce onion quantity.
