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!
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👍
Definitely visit in Georgia! Despite the unusual format of the service, everything is clear and fast. And how delicious it is! We always come here every time we come to Georgia, for 7 years now. All the dishes are consistently good, and the wine is the best!
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!
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 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.
It's just a delight! The most delicious lobio and shish kebab)
Kindzmarauli red wine is above all praise.
I was very pleased with the price tag for lunch, for 4 people it is very acceptable!
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!
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%%
Perhaps the most delicious khinkali we ate here. They cook very quickly, apparently due to the fact that there is a large flow. The place turns out to be very old, it seems to be from 1967 or something like that. The interior is of course so-so when we entered, we thought that this was some kind of dining room. But I recommend it to everyone!
This is not a tourist destination! They cook quickly. Delicious khinkali. Sit on the second floor, the tables are low on the ground floor.
The serving leaves much to be desired, but everything is delicious.
To be honest, I didn't like khinkali or wine. There are a huge number of seats, and only 2 toilets.
The only thing is, the views from the restaurant are of course very beautiful!!!
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!!!
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!
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
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👎
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
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;)
The most delicious cuisine!!!!!! In a beautiful and interesting place, in historical Georgia.
Interesting interior, good service. Places on the balcony, by the fountain, in the hall, in short, everything is for you. Parking with free security. At least they didn't ask us for money.
And most importantly, the prices are very affordable.
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)
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.
One of the most sought-after cafes in Georgia. There are a lot of people, respectively, the fuss and the service is lame. You need to make an order yourself in two different places. A large hall with low tables and chairs, where they order lobios, pies, khachapuri, pickles, greens. And the second, small hall, to the left of this large one (if you stand facing it), they order khinkali, shish kebab, kabab. If you want tea or coffee, there is also a stall outside. When ordering, you need to tell the table number and where it is located. I hope I made it a little easier for you to visit this fashionable place
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 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.
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 are staying for the second year in a row, very tasty khinkali. Khachapuri in Adjarian is delicious. Not expensive. There is a nuance, you pay and wait. The waiters bring it. The main thing is to report the table number correctly. It's better to say it twice. There is a menu in Russian.
Good food, reasonable prices, very tasty lobio, but there are several BUTS, the order must be made independently at the counter, and there are two of them, on one only shish kebab and khinkali, on the other the rest. The service time is more than 30 minutes, and in order for the order to be delivered in full, you had to go to the counter twice and remind. As a result, it turned out that they simply forgot about part of the order and were not even going to cook it. As a result, everything about the service is not about this place, but otherwise it is quite edible and not bad.
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.
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
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
The staff is not friendly, the service tasks are definitely not worth it here, the salads are dry, the food is average, as is the price tag that everyone writes about. I paid less, the service, the quality, I got everything less))))
It is not yet convenient to pay for orders, salads in one place and something else in another place khinkali.
Then you need to remember where, what you ordered, and if something else needs to be ordered, and it's in another room and there may already be a queue, etc.))))
And so a large institution, its own specifics.
