Literally a few hundred steps from Freedom Square, in an inconspicuous place, in the basement there is a very good cafe for locals. Yes, it's not bad, it's good. It looks like a small room, with obvious flavors of the kitchen, but we went so far that we were there twice a week.
The order and payment are made at the checkout. There is a waiter, but he only brings the order and clears the tables. Local men were sitting at the next table from us and drinking white wine. They were talking long, beautiful, but incomprehensible toasts. It was loud, but very interesting.
What we ordered:
1. Kharcho. I really love this spicy, rich Caucasian soup. Well… I have never tasted such a delicious meal.
2. Chikhirtma. Oh my god You can sell your soul for this soup. Maybe it tastes better somewhere – but this is my TOP.
3. Kuchmachi. The offal wasn't bad. But I compared it with the Khinkali House. So there they were fried, but here they were probably closer to stewed. Delicious, but no more.
4. Eggplant rolls. Good. We ordered it twice.
5. Khinkali. With a thin dough and juicy filling. There's nothing more to say. Delicious!!!
6. Shkmeruli. Because of this chicken, we returned for the second time. Well-fried chicken in a delicious sour cream and garlic sauce, in which it is very good to dip magnificent, fresh tortillas.
7. Homemade wine (white). To be honest, it was the best homemade wine on our trip.
Well, what can I say – this place is a must-visit.

A very cozy cafe with Georgian cuisine! The prices are reasonable, the service is good, fast. The portions are large and very tasty, and the lemonade is just a bomb. Recommend 👍

Delicious and inexpensive, good khinkali with cheese and mushrooms, cooked especially for us, brought hot. The only thing they missed was, they ordered pork legs with garlic, they thought there would be something like a shank, but they brought pork almost hooves (the lowest part of the leg, where there is no meat, only cartilage and skin), also for 12 lari. it would be better to take a barbecue for 15. But there are also advantages: they did not have to wait for them, they are brought immediately and cold :)

We read a lot of laudatory reviews and on the first day of our trip to Tbilisi we went to have lunch at this cafe. I was immediately surprised that we were the only visitors. Everyone wrote that there were no places, you couldn't get in, but everything was empty here. We thought it was Monday, November, okay, since we came, we'll try. We took chicken chikhirtma soup, I don't know what it should be, we liked it, eggplant with nuts are ordinary, but they didn't eat khinkali, the minced meat is sour, strongly peppered and, as it seemed to me, not fresh. The prices are yes, budget, khinkali 1.5 per piece, eggplant 10 lari, soup 15 lari. I hope my feedback will be useful.

Excellent homemade food without a bias towards "commerce and tourists". CASH PAYMENT.
We tried khinkali, chicken and pork kebab, vegetable salad, draft beer.
Everything is at the restaurant level, but without pathos and cheaper at times)
For 2 people - 1.5 rubles.

I decided to check the conflicting reviews, suddenly, it's just that people who are very demanding of the service are dissatisfied with something, but in fact the place is great?
Alas, everything is very wrong here..
The order included saperavi (but rather something sweeter and more vigorous), ajepsandali (fast and not bad) and shish kebab.. that's where the main puncture was - we were literally sitting at the first table from the cash register/kitchen, and there had been no barbecue for 40 minutes. When I approached the staff, the first thing I heard was "you didn't order a barbecue." Then the woman looked at the recordings, saw that he was there and said OK, wait another 20 minutes. The meat was brought, but it was not a barbecue, but a rather dry frying pan.
In general, the place is authentic in its own way. For the sake of experiment, you can go in

A great, authentic place with local cuisine. It is located on the outskirts of the bar streets, but at the same time, due to its location (in the basement), you may not know about it while inside, enjoying the local old flavor. The portions are confident, the prices are among the best in the city.

Racha is a restaurant that my family and I visit every year when we come to Tbilisi. The atmosphere of the real old Tbilisi reigns here, and the comfort and warmth of the institution make our visits special.
We pay special attention to local cuisine in this institution. Khinkali with cheese is a dish that I order every time, and it is always delicious. Dough, filling, spices – everything is balanced and cooked with love.
The Racha restaurant also offers a wide range of wines. We prefer local Georgian wines, and they always have a wonderful taste.

В Раче идеальное соотношение цены и качества. Довольно уютно. Я вообще обожаю стилизованное под старину ресторанчики. Ну это же старый Тбилиси, это же просто кайф. В зале совершенно нет запаха кухни и даже шашлык жарится прямо в зале, но вы не услышите, а совершенно что это происходит? Это прямо классно. И вот что ещё важно шикарное вино по просто шикарной цене. Не нужно ехать куда-то на рынок или искать в частном секторе вино, можно зайти и купить. Увезла домой шикарную пятилитровую бутыль, очень довольна, 😍 спасибо.

I was looking for a place to eat in the evening, I came across it by accident. Before that, there were establishments with fairly high prices and the same dishes. I saw both doma and pali and other dishes here. I don't remember the name like that. Cutlet with pomegranate seeds. Very tasty dogwood morse. I'm going to have breakfast there now

I'll give you an A for the atmosphere!
It is a very peculiar place, mostly Georgians sit. Order at the checkout, count on the accounts 😍
The prices are low, the food is ordinary.
Georgian salad 12 lari
Lula kebab 15 lari
Wine 8 lari/liter

A very friendly cafe. We went there on the advice of friends and did not regret it. Indeed, mushroom khinkali are very tasty khinkali. And how satisfying! We ate enough and were ready to drink tea for a long time in a calm and cozy atmosphere.

The only thing that tastes good here is Tarragon from a bottle. Ojahuri with French fries, are you serious?! The meat is not chewy at all. This is the only tasteless cafe during my entire Georgian vacation

It's just awful. Almost all the dishes came cold, absolutely not tasty. I do not recommend it, choose another restaurant. (Even if you choose to go here, don't take husbands, for your health.

The first place I visited in Tbilisi. What can I say, khinkali as khinkali =1.5lar/piece , minimum order from 5 pcs, wine from 0.5 liters = 7lars, the waiters are unfriendly. I did not understand at first that the lack of orientation towards individual travelers and the lack of smiling service is the norm in Tbilisi. And then I realized. So if you, like me, have read / seen enough about the innate Georgian hospitality, and incredibly delicious cuisine, then this is a bit wrong) I will not go here a second time, and I hope I will not come to Tbilisi

Khinkali with too small minced meat, as if it were some kind of children's food. They do not understand that the flatbread should be served with the soup, and not after — but here, in general, they do not know how to serve.

Наткнулась на рекомендацию заведения где-то в интернете. Были недалеко и решили зайти. Встретили нас очень хорошо, радушно. Заказ приняли быстро и блюдо мы ждали недолго. Когда пришли, были одни, но где-то за час подтянулся народ и кафе заполнилось посетителями. В целом, осталось очень тёплое ощущение, поэтому рекомендую заведение к посещению)

Delicious kharcho, basic khinkali, no tax is added to the bill, all prices are as in the menu (nice). You can observe the color :)
Well, any - price / quality. I recommend you to visit :)

Delicious food and fairly low prices for this area, decent kharcho soup and kebab, as well as salads. Phali didn't like it very much. It's also a little frustrating that salads and snacks are already served in advance on plates under plastic wrap.

Acceptable, but better not. Shkmeruli is just terrible, but it cost 30 GEL. It was as if salt had been spilled on him. The snack is acceptable. Overall a disappointment.

Не советую! 👎
Зашли по положительным отзывам, на негативные закрыли глаза, о чем и пожалели. Тут действительно не Рача, а СРАЧА. Заходишь в подвальное помещение, очень шумно и много людей. У входа очень жарко, от кухни по сквозняку выходит весь жар. Туалет в плачевном состоянии, соответствует названию заведения. Заказывать нужно у кассы. Весь персонал абсолютно не заинтересован, деньги платишь при заказе, может поэтому дальше они не хотят обслуживать. Заказали хачапури, грибные и мясные (в меню просто хинкали) хинкали, домашнее красное полусладкое вино: 40 лари. Хачапури неплохое; грибные хинкали уж очень острые; мясные достаточно вкусные, но мяса, мне показалось, очень мало; вино нам не понравилось, кто-то тут писал, что это хорошее вино, понятие, конечно, растяжимое. Но сравнить можно с вином из коробки, которое было популярно в 2000-х, а у кого-то видимо и сейчас.
Самое ужасное: хачапури принесли через 5-10 минут, а все остальное… мы ждали минут 40. День был тяжелый, очень устали. Были голодными. Пришлось несколько раз напоминать про наш заказ, но нам просто сказали ждать. При этом просили напомнить заказ и столик. Даже вино не принесли к хачапури
Большое разочарование, пока мы ждали заказ, за соседним столиком плотно поели несколько компаний и семей. Не понимаю, дело в том, что мы русские, или может мы мало заказали? Чувствовалась неприязнь со стороны персонала. 👎

Были в прошлом году, шумно играет музыка, низкие цены, весело, много народу. В общем атмосфера Грузии.
В этот год приехали, музыка не играет, сидят одни туристы, цены повышены, хачапури и различную выпечку убрали, оставили только 2 вида хинкали: сырные и мясные, вкус никакой, мяса мало, кинзы мало, размер маленький. Ушли разочаровавшись

Хорошее и спокойное место. Езжу не в сезон и постоянно кушаю в этом месте. Блюда без выёживания и чень вкусные! Если хотите чего-то особенного и высокой кухни то вам не сюда! В этом месте только по домашнему и с местным колоритом! Вкусно, приятно и по домашнему. Спасибо ВАМ!!!

Terrible wine!!! They say it's saperavi, but it tastes more like isabella. White is not ice either. The only place where I couldn't eat onions in a salad because it was too salty. Khinkali is normal, but nothing special. If you love wine, don't even look here! There's some kind of low-quality gibberish here instead of wine!

Демократичное кафе в смысле цен и обслуживания. Еда вкусная, домашнее вино на любителя. Обстановка простая, без излишеств. Если просто зайти перекусить - вполне подойдëт.

Не место, а находка. По соотношению цена качество, несправедливо дёшево за такую вкусную еду. Хинакали, хачапури, аджапсандали, лобиани здесь настолько вкусные, что хотелось вернуться сюда, даже после набитого желудка. Хозяйка, это олицетворение этого места, с виду суровая и угрюмая женщина, на третий наш приход уже была к нам добра и даже улыбнулась!! Так и место, непримечательное со стороны, но попав сюда на второй, третий раз (а вы гарантировано сюда вернётесь), понимаешь всю душевность и семейность места. Мой дичайший совет - лобио в горшочке.

Культовое для нас место... Случайно узнали о нем перед первым посещением Грузии и с тех пор каждый приезд не забываем заскочить. Много перемен случилось и в интерьере и в персонале, но атмосфера все равно стоит того, чтобы зайти. Хинкали, жареная мойва, чача - все на уровне!

Плюсы: приветливый персонал, все говорят на русском, хинкали недорогие (1,5л), с мясом даже вкусные. С сыром лучше не брать.
Минусы: ну очень душно, везде кучи мух)

Удивительно, но в старой части Тбилиси нашлось достойное кафе с низкими ценами, если Вы ценитель домашнего уюта, вкусного вина, хинкалей и любитель посидеть в Wi-Fi определённо судя стоит заглянуть

Ужаснейшее место которое можно придумать, если у вас низкие стандарты, то это для вас. Начинается все с того, что повар утром приходит когда он хочет, а не к открытию. Второй момент вы должны идти до персонала сделать заказ, афициантка только приносит его. Блюда приготовлены в огромном количестве масла и крайне жирные, сами же порции среднего размера. И оплата все еще наличными. Сомнительное место, не тратьте время
