The menu is small, but there is everything you need to eat delicious food: khinkali, khachapuri, kebabs, etc. Everything is very tasty! Both we and the children were satisfied.
Inexpensive, without a service fee, lunch for 3 with alcohol turned out to be 50 GEL, this is the smallest amount for the entire vacation.
Very friendly staff, decent level of service. The waiters, even with a low level of Russian (and English), sincerely tried to help, explain, and serve.
It is clear that there are a lot of locals, the place is more for their own than for tourists.
There is no summer porch, there are no many traditional dishes, only the main (the most popular, apparently)
For some reason, there is no local white wine (but a decent sparkling one), only European. The rest of the wine is local.
If you want to eat tasty and inexpensive food, if you are not tired of khinkali, khachapuri, shish kebab: here you are.
Staying in Kutaisi in August, we went to have dinner at Cafe EL PASO. I must say right away, I was very pleased with the prices, noticeably cheaper than in a cafe in Tbilisi or Batumi. The Bible says: "It is better to have a little and act righteously than to have a large income and act dishonestly" (Proverbs 16:8). I think the owners of this cafe adhere to the principles of the Holy Scriptures. The menu includes main dishes of Georgian cuisine, salads, drinks, and pizza. The cafe is located in an old building with access to the main square to the fountain. The hall is small, but high ceilings and a beautiful interior, there are enough tables. There is no menu in Russian, but there are pictures in English. I recommend the cafe to visit. The food was brought quickly and everything was delicious.
Kutaisi was our 5th point on the map, but the most delicious kebab and khinkali (cheese, potatoes, meat) We tried it only here! The prices are just a gift from God! A bottle of brut, 9 khinkali, 2 kebabs, salad, pickles and compote - 75 GEL!
The cafe looks unsightly, but in the evening there is a full boarding, fast service and really very tasty food!
It's a great place. The kitchen is very good. I recommend that you be careful when ordering dishes, especially if you are hungry, the portions are huge. For example, Caesar salad is a basin, you can't eat it in one person. Well, if you order khachapuri and khinkali from above, then this is already a festive table for 5-7 people. Have a nice time!
It's a nice cafe. Very tasty khinkali. Especially with mushrooms. I didn't like the cheese. It's a matter of taste. Prices are lower than in Tbilisi. For maintenance. The waiters are attentive. They speak Russian poorly. But you can explain yourself partly in Russian, partly in English, partly with gestures. In general, you will not stay hungry. I would love to visit this place.
We were with my wife several times - we were satisfied. They came mainly for khinkali "eldepo", rumored to be the best in Georgia - that's right, khinkali is amazing! I also became a fan of the local kebab - spicy, juicy, delicious. Good and fast service, nice price tag and convenient location - in the very center.
I was here a long time ago - in 2018.
I remember the place because of the amazing Khinkali. I have never seen such a thin, undeveloped dough anywhere else. How such a thin dough can be made in principle, I do not understand.
The food is mediocre. We waited for the order for about an hour. Only 4 tables were occupied. At this time, the waiters themselves were eating khinkali at the bar.
Bad. We waited for food for 50 minutes, they brought us an incomplete order. We sat for another 30 minutes waiting for the rest. The prices are not bad, the food is not the worst. As for the maintenance, everything was done "on the dump".
Khinkali is very good! There are small ones on the menu for 1.1 lari, there are large ones for 1.4. Yes, there are few dishes on the menu, but the owner of the apartment advised us to go there! And we didn't regret it. Thank you, it's very tasty.
The choice of food is meager, everything fits on a couple of pages, wine by the glass - no, tea custard, too.
The food quality is mediocre. We took kebabs and khinkali - everything is very spicy, so then it burns in the mouth.
They do not know how to brew tea, they also pour something very questionable to taste from the vending machine.
The best Khinkali in the city. Not sharp at all. There are no such good khinkals in either Tbilisi or Batumi. The menu is really two pages, but everything you need. It's a long wait.
