Budget Georgia. If you want to try Georgian cuisine at the price of a dining room, go here. There are not enough stars from the sky, but I advise you to try. There may be no tables available. The staff is pleasant and always helpful. The food is served quickly, the bill is paid at the counter.

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.

Good cuisine at ridiculous prices. Unsurprisingly, there are not always available seats. Perhaps the most affordable pub without loss of quality. Megrelian cuisine mainly. And, yes, spicy - 🔥

If you are looking for homemade Georgian cuisine, then you should take a look here. It is inexpensive, a good assortment, incredibly nice staff. They speak Russian. They only accept cash. I ordered strawberry juice, kharcho soup and a barbecue. I paid 20 lari for everything together.

I was here in 2024, and now I'm here again. The prices have not changed, they are still affordable. The food is delicious, the service is fast, but sometimes there are simply no places during rush hours, they ask you to wait. I recommend trying the usual kharcho soup and homemade strawberry juice.

The most delicious thing I ate in Tbilisi is here. A small family cafe, almost in the center. She is a very caring and sincere hostess. He'll make you sit down and warm you up with a word. Everything will be prepared and brought quickly. Thank you for the incredible porridge with cheese and corn tortillas. And the meat... wah. I miss.

Among the advantages: very fast delivery, cost. We ordered kharcho soup, chicken kharcho, khachapuri, eggplant rolls, salad with vegetables and 2 lemonades, everything came out at 65 GEL. The center paid an average of 100lari for the same set. Of the cons: this is not a pretentious establishment, it looks more like a canteen)

We went there on the recommendation of friends, highly recommended. In the end, I don't know, it was a three. Kharcho is more like an ordinary vegetable soup, slightly flavored with spices. In Georgia, Kharcho was much tastier, and in Moscow it was tastier and richer. Khachapuri in Megrelian was very disappointing, it smells and tastes like margarine insanely. It doesn't taste good. Chacha is tough, I didn't like it either, the worst in Georgia. I'm sorry, you're warm-hearted people, but your kitchen didn't please you at all. July 2025

Nice place, delicious Megrelian spicy dishes. I really liked khinkali, shish kebab with potatoes, kharcho. We've been there several times, and we try different dishes each time. Red wine is light, slightly watery, and suitable on hot days. Friendly staff, the girls/women are wonderful. Cleanliness in the hall and in the toilet. And the prices are ridiculous, a hearty lunch for two with drinks costs 35-45 GEL.🤌🤌🤌

Disgusting khachapuri in this place.The staff doesn't know anything about politeness.I left a couple of hairs wrapped in a napkin, I was so assaulted. … They gave me 35 lari for change from 100 lari , they thought I was drunk and wouldn 't notice when I said it , and they threw the remaining change in my face .in general , I don't like the edge , the place is uncomfortable , the character is impolite ; the food is 3/10

It's a great place. Russian Russian is spoken by the waitress's grandmothers (poorly, but they do), and there is also a menu in Russian. The prices for Tbilisi are amazing. A liter of red table wine is very cheap and so delicious. Overall, I really like it for everything.

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

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.

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 place that you will definitely hear about if you talk a little with the locals. It's cheap here, very cheap, and that's why Mapshalia is constantly full of students, relocators, and local men. They cook quickly. You wait about five minutes for the order. They pile on fat Georgian stews in large portions. The kitchen is almost homely, dense. The waitresses are colorful elderly Georgians. Mapshalia is a kind of folk tavern that you can go to.and have a big lunch when there's very little money.

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

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

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 :)

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
