A stylish and cozy place. You won't accidentally come across it from the street, they pass it by word of mouth or through reviews on the Internet.)))
The price level is average lower, the taste of food is average high.
The room is not large, we did not book, and immediately after arriving in Tbilisi we went there with the hope of having dinner. When all the seats were occupied, they asked the owner - he recognized something, said to wait a little. After 7-10 minutes, a table was vacated. During our visit, 2 so many were occupied by local Georgians, the rest by tourists - both Russian-speaking and English-speaking. Which indicates the great popularity of the institution. There was 1 overlap: I asked for otjakhuri to be served without bell pepper, as a result they brought it with bell pepper, I had to clean it myself since I am allergic to it. The waiter apologized in the end.
As a result, I give a five to the institution, since overlays can happen at all)))
P.S. white wine is delicious!!!
Honestly, the kitchen and service are so-so. We were surprised, not for the better. Because this place is in the top 5 in Tbilisi.
We didn 't like all the dishes we took . The soup with olives is generally very strange. Vegetable stew (something like that, I don't remember the name), was generally sour , either the owner or the manager (a young guy) tried it and said it was normal. Therefore, we will not remove it from the account (as he said) in general, I would not go there anymore. And yes, the menu is hand-written there and when we ordered the pie. Tea was brought to us, and they said there was no pie. So we wouldn't have ordered tea then either…
The best restaurant in Tbilisi, the price and quality are excellent, the hosts are very hospitable, the food is delicious, the drinks are very pleasant in price and quality. In general, you will not regret coming, the best place for lunch and dinner!!
Very tasty national food. An authentic setting that is not just a decoration, but a real family decoration. The prices are average. The service is available in both Russian and English
The first thing I want to write about is the owner of the restaurant, Uncle Beso, is a very hospitable and good person - the cuisine is just at a very high level, the hospitality of the owners, excellent wine and chacha - this is where you want to come again and again! Thank you so much for a great time, as well as sincere conversations! A must-visit place!
the best restaurant in all of Tbilisi, where you want to come back again and again. very atmospheric interior and wonderful music. here, like in no other cafe, you can feel the real flavor of the city
A cozy, homely cafe. You feel like visiting a Tbilisi family; old photographs on the walls, a cupboard with crystal dishes. I can't say that the food is outstanding or particularly tasty, but rather acceptable. The prices are average. This is a very good place to sit mentally and feel the spirit of the city. The friendly host can come out and treat you to tea and chat (in English, Russian or German) about this and that.
A very cozy, homely cafe. Cunningly hidden, without a sign, but the locals will tell you :). There are not many places, but if you manage to get there, you will be delighted with the place. It's simple, cozy here. The homemade wine is great. We took Khvanchkara (40 lari liter) very tasty. We also took a homemade apple pie (3 lari). There are a lot of people here. It 's not for nothing 😉
I didn't have time to take a picture of the wine, we drank it :), there's not much pie left either
at absolutely affordable prices in the very center of the city, homemade wine, delicious apple pie and a menu of the main Georgian dishes. The hosts are kind to the guests. The restaurant may be full in the evening, but we were lucky! We spent a wonderful evening here after a boat trip
You can't tell, you need to visit. A small cozy place, like at home or like with good old friends. I didn't want to leave. Therefore, we dream of visiting it again!
Very soulful, atmospheric and lamp-like. Who needs a luxury environment-do not go in, the rest run there for ajakhtsuri and white wine! I want to go back there again!
A family restaurant in the very center without pathos, very tasty and cheap. The hostess cooks, the host pours wine - a very nice and pleasant atmosphere. The menu is handwritten, cash payment. We took eggplant and ojahuri, everything is deliciously delicious. The wine is very pleasant homemade. If you want to be "like a guest", then this is the place
Don't believe the good reviews. The cafe sucks. The menu consists of soups, chicken and pork. The prices are not small, and the food is not delicious. The owner constantly grumbles and serves with a dissatisfied look. It's hard to find a cafe. We came here in vain, we lost time and money. They came out hungry. One of the advantages is not a bad wine
For some reason, Yandex shows that the restaurant is temporarily closed, but this is not true. The restaurant is open.
An incredibly cozy home restaurant!
Hospitable hosts, you feel like you are visiting your family.
The cuisine is on top, khachapuri, ojahuri, salads are divine.
The most delicious homemade wine I've ever tasted.
We have already visited the restaurant twice and let's go again! I highly recommend it.
The most memorable and cozy place in Tbilisi. Delicious homemade wine, handwritten menu in a convenient language, delicious homemade Georgian cuisine. I really liked the interior and the service. Definitely 5 stars and a desire to come back again. The only thing may be difficult to find, but maybe it's for the best

This is one of those rare places that you want to come back to again and again while in Georgia.
It's worth starting with the fact that here you are always treated as a friend and guest, and not just a visitor, which is why all the tables are often occupied here - the atmosphere of this institution is charming.
The interior is very colorful and interesting. There are many historical photographs of the owners' family and beautiful paintings hanging here.
The owners treat each guest with respect, regardless of the visitor's views, which is why there are no flags of other countries (and never have been) or other policies here - this place is exclusively about spiritual gatherings, delicious food and interesting people.
They always cook delicious food here, with a soul and at home. Chikhirtma with ojahuri alone is worth it - everyone will find their own dish. Also, the insanely delicious wines that the cafe owner makes. At the same time, there are adequate prices here.
In summary, it should be emphasized that this place is a must-visit if you are in Tbilisi. There are not many such establishments and people who work in it.
Disgusting furniture with old tables, chairs, dishes. The dishes are served, probably, those that have not been finished in the coming days. The price tag is average, the staff cannot be found after filing to pay off.
A very pleasant place with a homely atmosphere. Eggplant rolls are the most delicious that I've tried. Kharcho is ordinary, a lot of rice, chumeruli is a strongly fried chicken, a lot of garlic. Both dishes are delicious, but ordinary. The prices are low. Since there may not be enough tables, it is better to come at an unpopular time or book. In the evening, it is not easy to find - it is located in the basement of a house on a dimly lit street and also does not glow much and is quiet.
Absolutely the best family restaurant in Tbilisi. Everything is very tasty and very inexpensive. Be sure to order homemade lemonade and coffee with ice cream at the end. Do not ignore wine and chacha (we got 70%, but today there is what there is today, and tomorrow it may not be). Ask Nikoloz (the owner), who is always in the hall and is responsible for drinks, or his son (unfortunately, I do not know the name), and you will have an interesting and informative conversation on almost any topic (Georgia, wine, football, skiing - something that you have checked for yourself). I recommend it to everyone.
Five minutes walk from the Peace Bridge. In the basement. Very cozy atmosphere, at home. There is Kindzmarauli. Eggplant is well cooked and not expensive. They used to cook excellent khinkali, but after the covid they stopped, it's a pity. Nice quiet music. There is a piano. Whenever I am in Tbilisi, I come here.
This is my old love! This is the place of my strength, where I try to return at the first opportunity! This is a real homemade Georgian food, these are true Georgian hosts❤️❤️ this is a small, cozy place, hurry up! You may not always be lucky with a free table! But being in Tbilisi, in the old city, it's a sin not to come here and drink wine, order ojakhuri, or khachapuri, or ajapsandali, or salad with nuts... I write and smile, I remember how delicious and cozy it was for me there!

An authentic family place, which at first glance may confuse, but if you drop the arrogance - you will really like it.
A soulful cafe with homemade delicious food, sooooo delicious wine (even took a couple of bottles with them as a gift) and pleasant hosts.
There are only positive impressions left, if we are still in Tbilisi, we will definitely look again, an atypical place, unlike 90% of establishments.
I read that they write about salty food in the reviews - I didn't notice this, despite the fact that I myself eat relatively everything fresh. It was delicious for me, they took soup, khachapuri, salad with walnuts and Kindzmarauli. Everything was served on time, without delay, unsalted 👌🏻
A photo in an institution is a separate pleasure, because it's so nice to know what kind of people feed us. So many old pictures...)
In general, a person spoiled by Moscow restaurants and quality puts 5 out of 5.
Even in spite of the dim lighting! 😁
A homely atmosphere. The food is very tasty. The hosts are hospitable. We were treated to a glass of wine and kiwi) nice. I really liked the wine! I got almost a tasting - semi-sweet, semi-dry, dry. And everyone is beautiful! I wish prosperity to this lovely establishment.
I read the positive reviews and decided to take a look, as a result: they give you a menu made up by hand + a piece of paper where you write yourself what you chose = authenticity;
The menu is very simple and there are no hinkaleks that are so praised in the comments. Soups predominate.
The room is damp, flies fly, sometimes they get on an electric fly swatter - there is a crackle and a new visitor shudders = entertainment;
The food is not very good. Everything is super salty.
People come here to drink wine, after a few glasses it makes no difference to the rest of the criteria.
You can only pay in cash;
To the toilet = wet area, it is not easy to get there, but it is interesting....
Honestly, I do not advise, the food is not much cheaper than in other places. There is little space, it is very narrow, because you are sitting in the basement of an old house in general.
Of course, the hosts smile sincerely, for this 2 stars, but the hair in the food is also sincere...
P.S. someone may like the interior, the furniture is old, simple and a bunch of photos / icons / and various little things placed in a chaotic order.
A place where you are welcome.
And this is not about the hypocrites smiling at the entrance, this is about a pretentious place with bright signs.
It's about the warm gaze of the owner and everyone who works there.
It's about a bottle of delicious homemade wine filled to the neck.
This is about an unexpected gift in the form of a liter of homemade wine with me when I ordered 0.5 liters
. This is a place where the change was given in more than one bill, and they did not want to take 1 GEL in order to fully pay off. And it's a nice little sense of duty that binds and that stays in the memory.
This is a delicious meal that you want to eat, stretching the pleasure.
Purposefully visited this cafe (or restaurant?) according to the feedback on the query in the browser: "Budget establishments with decent cuisine top-12". A very cozy place with generous and hospitable hosts! When choosing a wine, a WHOLE glass was poured for a sample, and a melon was cut under the wine itself as a treat. The ordered dishes are quite good, in the style of home cooking. Get ready for the author's khachapuri with an egg in the style of scrambled eggs. If you crave a warm and peaceful environment, you can safely head to this place. The menu is presented in handwritten form in Russian, giggled from the position of "meat with a grenade". Prosperity to your home! Didi madloba!
We are just delighted with Nikolozi! I didn't think you could be so impressed by a restaurant. The food is homemade and very tasty. The wine deserves special praise - I have never drunk anything tastier. But the main thing is the owners. You are unlikely to find such hospitality anywhere else in Tbilisi. You will feel at home and want to come back again, again and again.
A good place, but you need to be prepared for the fact that it is very specific, plus there is no air conditioning, it will be very sweaty on a hot day. The food is not bad, but ajapsandal, for example, was strange, served hot and with zucchini instead of eggplant. Although there may have been eggplants, but very few. The rest of the dishes seemed to be good, we just ordered strange dishes)
When you come to this place, forget about the traditional restaurant service with mannerisms and well-trained waiters. You will be greeted by the owner himself, a leisurely and good-natured Georgian grandfather, his wife will prepare homemade, hearty and simple dishes for you from a concise menu on a handwritten piece of paper. Just imagine that you are visiting and the atmosphere of an old Tbilisi house is around you. The food will not be exquisite and rich, but you will eat heartily. In this place, the main thing is not culinary talents, but a simple and welcoming attitude and environment. And to see this, it is better to turn off excessive expectations and enjoy the local flavor.
I was there twice, I wanted to eat and take wine with me before leaving, but they had a day off on Sunday, I didn't take it into account. The dishes are delicious. The hosts are friendly and generous. I ordered 200 grams of Chacha, they brought a bottle of 0.5, the conversation here is not 200 more, we will consider 200 in response to me. My grandfather then brought me 4 kiwis as a simple treat, for chacha, while the dishes are being prepared, my wife two glasses of wine to try, and a glass like Kiwi jam, only fresh. Well, the dishes themselves turned out to be very tasty.
A very cozy authentic place! Family friendly, warm. The food is delicious. They ordered wine, didn't finish it, asked to take it with them. The owner took the bottle, left and returned with a full one. They left with tangerines and kiwis. When they wanted to leave a tip, the owner refused, asked them to give it to those in need. Pleasant, kind atmosphere, delicious food (ordered labio, kharcho and khachapuri). But! as they say in the reviews - do not count on typical service.
If you want to eat delicious food and not get negative feedback from Tbilisi, then forget this place and do not believe the positive reviews. They don't know how to cook or don't want to use the word at all!!! Kharcho is from the positive, I asked for it not spicy, it is not spicy, and then - the rice is overcooked into trash, the garlic is almost raw in slices. Chkmeruli- in their performance, this is boiled chicken (there was not even a hint of fried) filled with broth that is tinted with matzoni or sour cream, and that's it!!!! And this is Georgia! Chashushuli - warmed potatoes with chicken in the microwave! On absolutely cold ketsi! Even the tea was cold, in battered mugs. All dishes are served in 5 minutes, although they said that everything is cooked from under the knife. The interior is stretched to 3, the toilet is creepy, although it performs its functions. There is no light bulb or backlight at the entrance doors. Deep disappointment, run to other places
This is a great place, we are regular guests here for the entire holiday period in Tbilisi! The atmosphere is like visiting relatives and I was visited by deja vu! Eggplant with nuts, soup with tarragon and plum chakapuli, the most convenient form of khinkali, khachapuri is very tasty! Shakmeruli and in general we tried all the menu and it's love! I recommend the place to everyone)
This "Family cafe" was visited purposefully based on reviews on Yandex... I can't figure out where the positive reviews come from. The place is really authentic, the local flavor in every meter of this institution is 2 stars for this. The menu is simple, uncomplicated. Actually about the food - it's not delicious. Khinkali is an undercooked dough, 1 gram of meat. Ajapsandali is a boiled vegetable paste, with a kilogram of chopped coriander on top (R. S. I have nothing against coriander). We were treated to water - thank you very much, but the glasses are so dirty that it is not clear whether they are made of glass or not. If you want to eat on a budget, buy khachapuri in any small bakery from a mega pleasant elderly baker). That's all.
I returned here after three years of separation. I really like the atmosphere and the food. It's a pity there was no semi-sweet racha this time. But in general, a wonderful place! Very friendly hosts😌

We were on November 25 - the place was empty . The food is not fresh, the chacha was heavily diluted. I found an institution based on reviews - I received a complete disappointment in fact. Perhaps it was not the tourist season and everything was ready to get off. I do not recommend it
I fondly remember the evenings in this lovely place. An out-of-tune piano that made us happy) The sweetest hosts who tried to understand what pancakes from a 5-year-old customer are))) and in the end, the owner himself played us old Georgian music and went to get ice cream for my daughter at the nearest store. It's incredibly emotional there.
It's a great place! We found it according to the rating of "Top 12 establishments with homemade food". And it's really top. The food, wine, atmosphere, friendly hosts — everything is at the highest level. Prosperity to you!
I can't tell you how emotional it is here.
The grandfather who delivers orders is just the epitome of cordiality.
The homemade wine is very tasty.
I also liked the mushrooms and cheese very much.
The main thing is not to take your time and feel the whole atmosphere.
the best service, the best people and the best toasts.Do you want to sit at home and relax? You are definitely here! As soon as I return to Georgia, I will come here! Hosts, thank you very much! Every time, my toast will be to love! And I will remember you!

A great place, the atmosphere is like my grandfather's in the village, delicious and inexpensive
If you can find this place, you will be provided with positive emotions. Delicious cuisine, excellent homemade wine, and most importantly, friendly hosts) for the first time they forgot to bring us wine, but compensated with ice cream for children
