Khinkali is a must-try dish, featuring juicy, spiced meat or cheese fillings wrapped in dough. Traditionally eaten by hand, these dumplings burst with rich flavors. Head to Zakhar Zakharich or Pasanauri for some of the best khinkali in Tbilisi, where you can enjoy them in a lively, local atmosphere.
Khachapuri, Georgia’s beloved cheese-filled bread, comes in many varieties, with Adjarian khachapuri stealing the spotlight. This boat-shaped delight, topped with a runny egg and butter, is best enjoyed at Retro or Sakhachapure No.1. Rich, comforting, and delicious, khachapuri is the perfect dish for cheese lovers.
Often called the "Georgian Snickers," churchkhela is a traditional snack made of nuts dipped in thickened grape juice and dried into a chewy delight. You’ll find it hanging in Tbilisi’s markets, especially at the bustling Dezerter Bazaar. This natural and energy-packed treat is a great souvenir to take home.
For an authentic Georgian feast, visit Café Littera or Barbarestan, where historic recipes meet modern creativity. Supra, the traditional Georgian feast, includes an array of dishes like lobio (bean stew), mtsvadi (grilled meat skewers), and pkhali (vegetable pâtés), all paired with the famous Georgian wine.
Street food in Tbilisi is as exciting as its fine dining scene. Try kubdari (spiced meat pie) from local bakeries or grab a shot of chacha, Georgia’s strong grape spirit, from hidden bars in the Old Town. Exploring Tbilisi’s street food is a delicious adventure full of surprises.
