Those who like to taste the classics of the capital's Georgian cuisine inexpensively, quickly (service), come here. 30 minutes from Tbilisi (there are traffic jams, but who can be surprised by them?) along the road there is a whole complex of cafes both in detached houses for 6-8 people and in the hall.
Roasting pies with meat, potatoes, lobio in clay pots, khinkali, kababs, wine, beer…
Everything is prepared very quickly, but there is no feeling of fast food. The main menu is in Russian. The staff is polite, however, those who have been to Georgia will not be surprised by this fact. For khinkalifils, I immediately convert the price into rubles: about 50 rubles/piece.
I've been there 5-6 times. The result is always delicious!
Great place and very tasty food! I recommend you to visit! And I will explain a little, since I did not find it in any review before ...
05.2024 prices (for 1 piece): khinkali 1.5 lari, khachapuri 14 lari, lemonade 3 lari. Khachapuri 1 for 2 behind the eyes)))) First, look for a place to land, there is a number on it (right on the table) and send a messenger to place an order! When ordering, you name the number of the table where you will be waiting for your order. Here, the waiters only bring when ready, and you place an order at the checkout. The left hall is khinkali, lula and everything with meat, the right hall is khachapuri and all flour. The ticket offices in the halls are different, so you need to run to both if you want variety))))
And so the food is very tasty and satisfying, the average check is for 2 30-35 GEL. Enjoy your meal!
The place has become popular, now you don't have to try to make it good and tasty. The serving is long, the food is not tasty, the attendants, as in the Soviet years, do not make a single warm gesture, silently throw plates on the table. By the way, to make an order for a separate quest, khinkali in one queue, salad in another queue, staff shouting all around, you have to ask again. Indeed, all the guidebooks say like a mantra that the best Khinkali are here - everyone is going, and I'm hardly the only one who said to himself that he would never come here again!
We have been visiting this institution for 35 years, several generations have grown up here! Always before or after Mtskheta...as a tradition! Lobio with mchadi, khinkali... Yes, everything was delicious, and what a more colorful place- branded! And this year is just terrible. Lobio was brought half a pot... The price tag, like everywhere else, has grown, but the mchads have raised the price terribly (((The chicken kebab was not ready even after three reminders (in Georgian). And when they made an order, the man was swearing terribly at the window (the place where the meat dishes are now ordered was slightly redone). The end of an era! Not another foot!
Solobie - taste of Georgia
Atmosphere: The establishment at first glance is a simple eatery, but inside... interesting! It resembles a hunting lodge with wooden walls, very cozy. I traveled around the halls a bit before finding a toilet. For beginners, it's an adventure.
Reference Khinkali and Khachipuri: Discovery! This place is a Georgian food lover's dream. So fragrant, so delicious - they just melt in your mouth. After them, any other Khinkali is just a pale likeness.
Overall Impression: A real taste of Georgia! It is well suited for group gatherings. Khachapuri and khinkali are a must-try here. A great place to immerse yourself in Georgian culture and cuisine.
P.S. The cafe is just huge, two-storey, with a large veranda and cozy gazebos. A great place for large companies and a secluded holiday.
A place of worship. Delicious, inexpensive. A lot. May overtake the "chemomecham" 😀
When visiting Tbilisi, I highly recommend coming here and having lunch or dinner. There is no fashion, but right here everything is fine. Any local knows this restaurant
A very tasty place!it's a little unusual, of course, that there are two service halls, but that's okay, we figured it out with the help of the staff, who, by the way, are very friendly, despite the large flow of customers)) I was very pleased with the menu in Russian!!!
I really regretted that I visited this "restaurant", only unpleasant impressions remained:
- there are some gloomy people everywhere in the institution, no one greets or smiles;
- there are a lot of visitors, it was difficult to find a free table;
- you need to order food and drinks at the checkout at the bottom and call the table number for food delivery;
- bank cards are not accepted, only cash;
- the place is dirty everywhere, the tables are dirty (if you wipe it with a napkin, you can immediately see everything);
- of the dishes brought, only khachapuri and lemonade were more or less decent in taste, the rest (kebabs, salads, eggplant, sauces) completely sucks;
- instead of a veal kebab, they rather served pieces of beef that had passed away on their own👎
We have been coming here for many years. I remember a time when it was a small cafe. Years have passed, the Salobie has grown, the quality is still excellent!
It is divinely delicious!
I am very picky about Khinkali, as I have been spoiled since childhood. So here are the perfect khinkali!
This is Love. Here, in my opinion, the best red lobio in a pot is a dump of everything. Khachapuri in Imereti, I also advise you to take the perfect thin dough, delicious filling.
And I advise you to take cheese and pickled assorted to lobio.
A nice place with a beautiful view! The food is delicious, but the menu is not very varied. You need to order meat dishes yourself in one place, everything else in another, it's not very convenient.
Super fast and super tasty!
There are many halls
Despite such a large number of visitors, the service is fast and high-quality
I recommend both with groups and independently to visit;)
Salobie is a picturesque place of Sakartvelo. Despite the fact that I plan to build a recreation area and I know Dmitry 's grandfather from birth , I advise all guests to visit this restaurant and relax in my houses
A wonderful place with very tasty cuisine. You need to be prepared that the kebab and khinkali will have to wait. There are a lot of visitors. I especially liked lobiani and pies.
You come in, no one greets you, they don't tell you where to sit, when you sat down everything was very dirty and the table and benches were wiped with napkins themselves, they were completely black with dirt, as if no one wiped the tables at all, no one fits the menu, the kitchen is separate, which is also not convenient, there were a lot of waiters available but they were sitting having collapsed, why do they need them if they do not bring the menu, our waitress with a dissatisfied, sour face put on each ready order and threw it at us, why keep such pigs of employees if they cannot serve politely and affably as they should be, the toilets are also in terrible condition there are no toilets in the women's toilet, just a hole as if in the village I went in, the khinkali was also salty, the fries are fine and the khachapari is also fine, but the service is the worst of all that I know.
An old cafe. Consistent menu and good quality. The assortment is not large, but it is done quickly. Maybe the barbecue orders will have to wait a little longer. Among the disadvantages, there are a lot of people and a specific order system. Potatoes on the right, meat on the left.
September 2024.
If you are in Mtskheta, then eat only here!!!!
I liked everything: the prices and the dishes!
Be sure to taste their signature dish Lobie (beans in a pot). A kebab is a must. The barbecue is great. The wine is light and nutritious. Chacha 🔥
I recommend it 100%%
Fast, tasty and inexpensive. But! To order, you need to find the order window, and there are two of them! Depending on what you want to order, you choose a window. Everything except the hinkals is brought quickly.
We stopped by on our way from Mtskheta. They were served quickly. There are a lot of tables and visitors. Khachapuri liked it. The staff was friendly.

The food is very tasty, the cuisine is Georgian, the service is fast, polite and caring. The staff is friendly. It is cozy and spacious, there are many family guests with children and many tourists. It's delicious and good for everyone! I highly recommend it! Very comfortable prices👍
A place where you can just overeat with hinkals. As far as I understand, it is very popular in Georgia and is on an important path. But the food seemed a little bland, but the lemonade is super.
A must-visit! The most delicious lobio, kebab, khinkali, khachapuri! The service speed is incredible with a huge number of gazebo tables. And the place is very cozy)
This is probably the best cuisine in Georgia. Lula, shish kebab, khinkali are just great. There are always a lot of people, but they work fast

Please note, this is not a restaurant in the usual sense!!! This is a tavern! Catering company :)
The place is cool! We returned here twice during our trip. The place is huge! For several hundred people, and in the evening the landing can be very dense. There are many locals, many Russians. I was impressed by the battery of bursting barbecues, whose pipes stick out from behind the fence, the door to the slightly open locker room for staff - the scale is like in a gym.
The menu is short and capacious: lobio, cucumbers, tomatoes, khachapuri, khinkali, pickles, various kebabs. They cook relatively quickly, even taking into account the large number of visitors.
You look for the table yourself, remember the number, order at the checkout, then they bring everything to you. As far as I understand, the system with different cash registers has been eliminated. Everything can be ordered on one. Russian Russian is spoken at the checkout, and there is a menu in Russian.
Great khinkali, great kebabs, and don't expect more! :) Delicious and very inexpensive!
Наивкуснейшая кухня!!!!!! В красивом и интересном месте, в исторической Грузии.
Интересный интерьер, хорошее обслуживание. Места на балконе, у фонтана, в зале, короче все для вас. Стоянка с бесплатной охраной. По крайней мере с нас денег не просили.
И главное - цены очень демократичные.
Lobio (beans), khinkali and khachapuri are 100%. On the way to Mtskheta, you should definitely visit this place, but keep in mind that there are huge queues there during the season
If you decide to go to the worst institution in Georgia, feel free to go to the damn solobei.
1) Waiting
We waited for Khinkali for more than an hour. hour's
2) Taste
Terrible pre-prepared food. Tasteless, not juicy
3) price
The price is like in Tbilisi, although there is no service from the word at all.
4) service
Ordering different dishes in different departments, each with a standing queue with ignorant staff
Одно из самых востребованных кафе в Грузии. Очень много людей, соответственно суета и обслуживание хромает. Заказ нужно делать самостоятельно в двух разных местах. Большой зал с низкими столами и стульями, там заказывают лобио, пирожки, хачапури, соленья, зелень. И второй, маленький зал, слева от этого большого (если стоять к нему лицом), там заказывают хинкали, шашлык, кабаб. Если захотите чай или кофе, есть еще ларек на улице. При заказе нужно называть номер стола и где он находится. Надеюсь немного облегчил вам посещение этого модного места
The chicken kebab was cooked for more than an hour
You make the order yourself, with the salad and vegetables in one place
Meat and khinkali in another
There are no signs, you need to figure it out yourself
The view is beautiful, but the waiting time is unbearable
It's not the first time we come to this place for lunch. There are always a lot of people, queues are long, waiting for dishes is long. But before, at least everything was justified by delicious food at adequate prices. Today we arrived for lunch, ordered beans and eggplant. Everything was brought quickly enough, BUT there was an insect in the bun brought with beans!!!!! from shock, they did not think to take a picture, but immediately gave it to the waiter. We thought maybe they would return the money for the dish or AT LEAST apologize. As a result, they just brought a new bun, but the desire to eat food disappeared completely!
In the future, we will think carefully about whether it is worth coming here again and recommending this institution to friends!
The cafe has been open for many years, a lot. A cafe with its own history. It was recommended to us as an original place, where one of the best lobios is. We were very satisfied with the kitchen. The serve is fast, it pleases.
The longest wait for an order is here. We waited 1.5 hours for Khinkali, despite the fact that we were repeatedly reminded of him. This was the first time we had seen such a thing during our stay in Tbilisi and in Georgia in general.
Останавливаемся второй год подряд, очень вкусные хинкали. Хачапури по аджарски восхитительно. Не дорого. Есть нюанс, оплачиваешь и ждёшь. Официанты приносят. Главное номер столика правильно сообщить. Лучше дважды сказать. Меню на русском есть.
Неплохая еда, приемлимые цены, очень вкусное лобио, но есть несколько НО, заказ необходимо делать самостоятельно на стойке, причём их две, на одной только шашлык и хинкали, на другой остальное. Время обслуживания более 30 минут, причём для того чтобы заказ принесли полностью пришлось дважды ходить на стойку и напоминать. В итоге выяснилось что про часть заказа просто забыли и даже не собирались его готовить. В итоге всё что касается сервиса не про это место, а в остальном вполне съедобно и неплохо.
The place is beautiful, but they waited for their order for more than 40 minutes((
Khinkali for 3, very very salty. We are disappointed, because we expected that they would taste better.
Персонал не приветливый, задачи сервиса точно не стоит тут, салаты сухие, еда средняя, как и ценник, про который все пишут. Заплатил меньше, сервис, качество, всё получил меньше ))))
Еще не удобная оплата за заказы, в одном месте салаты и еще что-то в другом месте хинкали.
Потом надо не забыть где, что заказал , а если что то еще надо заказать, а это в другом помещении и уже может быть очередь и тд ))))
А так большое заведение, своя специфика.
Обожаю это место!!! Всё свежее, очень вкусное, цены демократичные! Потрясающе вкусные хинкали, мало где так готовят, рекомендую посетить если едете в/из Мцхета или в Боржоми.

Dishes of national cuisine as they should be. The best Adjarian khachapuri I've ever tasted. Lobio in a pot is incomparable. But the staff leaves much to be desired. They can easily forget or bring the wrong thing. But for the sake of food and price, you can "close your eyes".
Большое популярное место с доступными ценами. Пользуется спросом у местных. Хинкали и мангал вкусные. Интерьер крайне аскетичный и простой. Туалеты в плохом состоянии.
Вкусно, брали хинкали, хачапури, фасоль, баклажаны, шашлык, даже детям понравилось, цены демократичные, есть парковка, находится за городом, но доехать не долго.
Приятное кафе. Интересно то, что это древнее знаковое место, на этом месте многие известные люди останавливались и отдыхали, из того, что помню, здесь останавливался Пушкин. Еда вкусная.
