September 2024. We always come here with my husband when we are in Tbilisi. He says that kharcho and khinkali are the best in the city here. I rather like the location and the atmosphere. Such a refined Soviet dining room with unexpected paintings on the walls. And it is located two steps from Rustaveli Street, almost to the side of the Museum of Modern Art. Yes, it is important! The staff does not speak Russian, only Georgian or English! And the menu is also in English-Georgian without pictures, so Google translator will help you) My husband tasted fried khinkali here. To my taste, it's just chebureks in the form of khinkali) pork kebab is not very tasty, it's a little dry. In the Georgian salad, tomatoes are of the "supermarket" type, despite the fact that September is the season of ground delicious tomatoes. People enjoy drinking beer and wine. The price tag is humane. You can take it with you in a foil package, but it's better to eat right there!
I tried 4 types of khinkali. Very tasty. Inexpensive. 1 khinkali 2 lari. Servings from 5 pieces (serving 10 GEL). The service is in English (young people work). According to the cards, for some reason only cash was accepted (maybe I was so unlucky, although there is a common story in Georgia, they love cash here).
The best khinkali in Tbilisi, especially branded fried khinkali - I have not eaten anywhere else in 3 years of emigration. It should be taken into account - there will almost always be a queue at the entrance, Friday / Saturday / Sunday evening - 30-40 minutes + they will also cook for 30 minutes and beyond, which is also normal for this institution, and for Georgia as a whole. There is no armor! The service is also one at a time, most likely you are not used to this, but just make a discount, fried khinkalki are worth it😁
