This is probably the best restaurant in Tbilisi in terms of price/quality ratio.
We have been here 3 times. Not because it's delicious, but because it's cheap and fast. (you can see the prices on the photo menu and you will be pleasantly surprised).
The service is pleasant and very welcoming.
We tried a lot of things from the menu and I can definitely recommend them: phali, kharcho soup and kharcho with beef/chicken, bread, beer.
What I didn't really like was ojahuri, because the meat is very dry, corn tortillas and white wine are simply impossible to drink.
If you want to experience Georgian cuisine for the first time, then you can be a little disappointed here. But if you've already tried everything and want to eat hot food quickly and cheaply, then you're definitely here.
They cook very tasty and inexpensive. We tried khinkali, khachapuri and kharcho soup. Everything is cooked perfectly. Very friendly and friendly waitresses. The cafe is very popular among locals and tourists from all over the world. There are not always tables available.
This place used to be wonderful, but with the influx of tourists it has lost its flavor. However, the food here is still good and not very expensive, but you need to know what to take and what not to take. I always laugh when someone takes khinkali or shish kebab there :)
The service is fast.
The power devices are terrible, aluminum.
They ordered mashed potatoes with a cutlet (cutlet puree is on their menu), mashed potatoes with lumps and cold, cutlets are terrible. It's like bread was fried in breadcrumbs, it doesn't even smell like meat.
We took kharcho soup with nuts and chicken - the broth is cool, chicken with skin in the soup, and there is little meat, mostly just bones.
I definitely won't go here a second time, the food quality is terrible.
On the plus side, for those who care about prices, prices are very cheap. But for me, smaller portions are better, but more meat.
A great place for lunch. Inexpensive, clean and bright inside. The food is purely Georgian. The order is made through a girl who comes to the table, and the payment is made at the counter.
The best place in Tbilisi, and maybe in the whole of Georgia. Delicious, fast, inexpensive, the perfect place. I don't understand why he doesn't have a Michelin star.
Why is this place praised? We ordered grub with nuts. Meat with overcooked veins and a film, cold and tasteless. The shish kebab is also cold and smoked, just pieces of dry meat. Khachapuri is a horror in Megrelian, oil drips off it. It can be seen that they just warmed up. I didn't like the interior. Maybe they came at the wrong time, but it doesn't happen that way, or it's always delicious, and not just once
The most horrible place I have visited in Georgia. The advantages are the speed of delivery, but the service is very unfriendly. It was a very bad experience of my first day in Tbilisi, which greatly spoiled my rest and food impressions.
Why is the rating high? The reviews are probably screwed up. Stay away from here.
We came across this place by accident. We were satisfied with everything. It is home-cooked food that is served and prepared here. Do not expect frills, this is a simple, clear and delicious food) it may seem spicy or greasy to someone, but we liked everything) the portions are large! You can safely take one dish for two. The guests are greeted by a smiling, sociable and cheerful girl) the order was delivered quickly. There are always a lot of people, you may have to wait for a free table for a while.
I will be happy to come back.
A very nice authentic cafe with a normal price tag in the city center, which is amazing.
I liked the girl who took orders - cheerful, friendly and very prompt. After 5-6 minutes, everything was on the table! They left a tip for this, which she was very happy and surprised about. Apparently, the locals don't spoil them with this 🤗
Dumplings with cheese are just a fairy tale!
An unusual thing is spinach with nuts...
my son loves this cafe very much
An authentic dining room with minimal prices and a small assortment of dishes. In general, it is delicious, but sometimes spicy and fatty: khachapuri in Megrelian - 5, kharcho - 4 (a huge portion with meat, but then you turn into a dragon), shish kebab is just pork with onions and fried potatoes (without frills), elarji - take everything (curiously, for an amateur).
It is advisable to place an order immediately at the counter, or even better, to pay, but only cash is accepted. They speak Russian without problems and tension.
Delicious unusual homemade juice, the dishes were brought in a couple of minutes (except khinkali), everything is probably ready.
The pickles are tasteless.
Khinkali is not the most delicious, but it will do
The Georgian liked the salad.
Very authentic) it looks like a dining room, but it will do for once)
3 stars for juice and salad
Russian Russian is a great place, the price and quality are fully consistent, to eat for two 36 GEL, payment is only for cash, the place is not always free, you can wait, the menu is in English and Georgian, the staff speaks Russian
I don't know, that's why such high reviews, especially on Google maps, disappointed the place. Of the 5 dishes ordered, only 1 turned out to be more or less tolerable. The dishes with cheese are almost tasteless, khachapuri does not seem to have cheese, but cottage cheese with a slight taste of cheese. Homemade wine tastes like alcohol. The whole next day after the evening, I felt sick and nauseous here.
The only advantages are the polite staff and very low prices, but it's not worth it, to be honest

A very colorful place worth visiting.
We arrived in the evening, while we found and checked into the apartment, it became very late. I had to practically run to eat, the dishes were ordered and went across the street to the exchanger). Nino's waitress is very friendly and polite. Then we ate there in the main while we were in Tbilisi. There are a lot of locals and tourists. Inexpensive and delicious really. We were in September 2023.

It's an amazing place. The first impression upon entering is bewilderment from the positive reviews. We decided to trust and did not lose. We were fed delicious thick grub with nuts and drunk with excellent homemade wine at very pleasant prices.
This is a legendary place, for all bloggers, in tripadvisor. There is always a lot of people who want to eat here. What is it so famous for, you may ask. This is delicious homemade Megrelian cuisine, fast service and the most pleasant check in the city. I recommend it!
cheap and delicious dishes are brought quickly, but there is often a queue for boarding, it is better to book. it looks a bit like a cross between a dining room and a cafe. there is no khinkali on the menu, it's a pity, the rest is super!!!
There is no clear sign that this is an eatery. We happened to pass by and went in. They repeated it the next day. A small basement room made of red brick, there are booths, the impression that the tavern has been here since the construction of the building. The menu is not rich, the dishes are simple and cheap. We liked the food from what we chose, the service is fast! Very tasty seasonal juices from strawberries and apricots - thick, homemade! Homemade white wine is weak, but in the heat it does not give you a head. I recommend it if you don't have too pretentious taste.

One of the most favorite places in Tbilisi. It is delicious at home, very pleasant interior, fast and cool service. Everything that was taken was always incredibly delicious, fresh, including wine. The staff is smiling, the menu is in Russian, the prices are ridiculous. I sincerely recommend it! 🥰
Promoted by reviews of the cafe, it is not recommended to visit
Khachapuri - one dough, no cheese
Shish kebab is ordinary meat fried in a frying pan, brought in 2 minutes, i.e. ready-made, only warmed up
Wine - the remains of wine from carafes from other guests are poured into a common vat, from where the same wine is poured for everyone
Incredibly delicious homemade food for little money) Immediately the place seems rustic, but these small separate rooms won my heart!) If you want a delicious and budget lunch, definitely try to go, you will not regret it!
Today I visited this institution with my wife. I waited for an empty table for about 15 minutes (I can't get into the cafe, everything is packed with visitors). The cafe is authentic. The serving of dishes is very fast within 10 minutes, almost everything was brought except for the hot one, but they did not wait long for 10-15 minutes. I ordered: pork kebab, chicken liver, giblets-beef stomach and lung, eggplant with nuts, a plate of pickles, lobiani, potatoes, salad with nuts, pita bread, various sauces, 2 lemonades. The portions are very large. The receipt is 45 lars. Everything is very tasty, maybe some dishes are too rich, but I love this. I've visited a lot in the capital of Georgia, but the food here is really not really delicious - homemade. There are national dishes that cannot be found in ordinary cafes. I recommend it to everyone. I will definitely come here again, even if I have to wait for an empty table again. Everyone speaks Russian well and others too).
Delicious homemade food. The dishes are simple but delicious! The service is fast. You can recommend dumplings with cheese: 🤌

I understand that most of the food is ready, they brought it to us a minute after ordering.
The "natural juice" was only peach. Unusual, but for once.
Mashed potatoes with a cutlet are delicious.
Georgian salad with nuts too.
They took pickles, everything except cucumbers was disgusting.
Khinkali was still cooked to order. They are leaky, there is no broth, tasteless.
Payment is in cash only.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to evaluate the place, because it was closed on May 3-4 without warning. We arrived there, and came across a closed door. Perhaps temporarily, or maybe completely closed
Very fast, very tasty, very inexpensive, very salty and a little bit insular. The entrance is inconspicuous, easy to miss. There are queues in the evening.

Every time now I am surprised by the reviews, because we were very unlucky with the food. The most delicious was the juice, homemade, good. The Georgian salad was over-salted, the khachapuri was fatty, but the pork kebab turned out to be the most terrible: the meat, soaked in oil, which could not be bitten off, was eventually left like that. Fried most likely just in a frying pan. There was a feeling that it was not the first time it was already served on the table and just as untouched it was taken back)
They only accept cash. We were told that it was impossible to book a table in advance, but the other day we saw a reservation on one table🤷🏻♀️ The food is delicious, cheap, but a little greasy. The dishes are served very quickly, kind and lovely workers. There are often queues in the cafe, so it is better to choose the time to visit, taking into account the peak hour. Overall, we were satisfied with the visit.
Delicious, fast and inexpensive!
Orange juice ,freshly squeezed -top 👍

Place the cannon! The interior is very interesting, the people working there communicate with you as if you have known each other all your life, the food is delicious,they cook it very quickly, ordered wine, it cost 6 lari, 1 liter!, homemade sweet wine, not fusel, does not give alcohol, liked it,drank as much as 2 liters. I advise you to visit
A legendary place. The cheapest cafe of Megrelian cuisine in the city. The food is delicious. Payment is in cash only. It's cheaper to eat here than to cook.
