15 Best Khachapuri in Tbilisi

Khachapuri is the dish you order when the table can't agree, and this basement off Gorgasali Square holds a 4.9 from 6,541 Google reviews. Khinkali Bar N1 calls itself the first khinkali restaurant in Tbilisi and has a second address on Orbeliani Square. One reviewer eating alone got a table on a packed night, and a staff member walked them through the khachapuri and the khinkali. Come with anyone who has never done either. It runs 1 to 11:30 PM daily, and its Instagram says a table booking costs nothing.

The balcony is the whole argument here, and 418 Google reviews name it. Usakhelouri is a Georgian restaurant and wine bar on Abano Street, next to the sulfur baths that another 97 reviews bring up, holding 4.8 from 5,192 reviews. It's named after a wine its own listing calls the most famous in Georgia, so the list is not decoration. Come after a soak, when you can let lunch run 2 hours. Doors are 1 to 11 PM, the street parking outside is free, and booking a table costs nothing.

This is the one you'll need a car for. Tsiskvili is in Tskneti rather than Tbilisi, and its own line is that it works in all seasons, which is fair for a place with a fireplace in 6 reviews and live music in 19. The Adjarian khachapuri has 2 review mentions of its own, and most of what sits around it comes off a grill. Come when the afternoon is free and the drive counts as part of the plan. The room runs 12 PM to 1 AM, the kitchen stops at 10:30 PM, and the entrance, parking and restroom are all step-free.

One reviewer walked 45 minutes out of their way to eat at Gobi 2 days running, and the same review points out that you can look into the kitchen. It's a Georgian restaurant on Vasil Barnov Street holding a 4.9 from 540 Google reviews, and an intimate setting is one of the things its review topics pick up. Come at lunch: Google lists solo dining next to lunch and dinner as what the room is busiest for, and there are outdoor tables when the weather holds. It runs 12 to 11 PM daily, and tables go through its booking page.

Come here when it's past 11 PM, Orbeliani Square is still going and the thing you want is khachapuri rather than another round. Dariko's kitchen takes orders until 1:30 AM and the room stays open until 2. It's a Georgian restaurant and wine bar on Pkhovi Street, 4.8 from 1,827 Google reviews, with Adjarian khachapuri named in 18 of them and welcoming staff in 32. The description it wrote itself puts celebrations at the centre of the business, and bookings run over WhatsApp.

The khachapuri at Charru comes off the grill, and one reviewer counts it as the biggest they have run into. That's the reason to turn down Fkhovi Street for it, because the rest of the kitchen is a grill too: kebabs, mtsvadi, chicken skewers and vegetables. The listing holds 4.8 from 1,813 Google reviews, and kind staff is its most named quality at 39. Come when you want bread and smoke in the same meal, and take an outside table if one is free. Doors are 12 PM to midnight, every day.

This one is out in Isani-Samgori rather than the old town, and Google files it as a family restaurant. Cafe Irioni holds a 4.9 from 385 Google reviews, with Georgian food the broadest review topic at 46 and home food at 27. One reviewer gets to the point faster: this is actually somebody's house, and when the rain came that table got driven home. Come here when the evening is free and you don't need to be back in the centre by any particular hour. It opens at 10:30 AM and runs to midnight, every day.

Google puts a meal here at 10 to 20 GEL, which turns khachapuri from an occasion into a habit. Tar Tun is a family-run counter on Pavle Ingorokva Street, open from 9 AM, with pastries and coffee at one end and Georgian home cooking at the other. Google marks the listing for great coffee and a great wine list too, and home-cooked food is its biggest review topic at 57. Come at 9 AM before the city starts, or at lunch, which is when it's busiest.

Open 24 hours is a claim most Tbilisi kitchens quietly walk back by 1 AM. Lavera doesn't: the Gogebashvili Street room runs all day, 7 days a week, which is how a 4.8 from 639 reviews gets built out of breakfast, lunch and dinner in equal measure. Google marks it for great coffee, great dessert and a great wine list, and files the room as quiet. Come here when the flight landed late and you want khachapuri rather than a hotel sandwich. The listing takes reservations, though at 4 AM you probably won't need one.

There is nowhere to sit, and that's not an oversight. This is a bakery on Tianeti Highway with a few standing tables, a phone line and a counter that mostly sends people out with a bag. It holds 4.8 from 468 Google reviews, and the food is its most repeated review topic at 23. Come here when you want the khachapuri and not the evening built around it. Doors are 9 AM to 10 PM daily, waiting time carries 5 review topics and advance ordering 4, so call ahead.

Some terraces sell the view and let the kitchen coast. Supra Sololakshi doesn't: it's a Georgian restaurant on Amaghleba Street holding 4.9 from 229 reviews, with the terrace named in 8 review topics and Georgian charm in 5. Come at lunch, which is what Google lists the room as busiest for, and come hungry, because generous portions has 2 review mentions of its own. It runs 11 AM to 11 PM daily and Google puts a meal at 20 to 30 GEL.

Khachapuri is the second dish at Pasanauri and it still picks up 56 review topics, because khinkali takes 205. The Kazbegi Avenue branch holds 4.7 from 2,937 Google reviews and comes with a private dining room, a wheelchair-accessible entrance, free Wi-Fi and its own free car park. Come here when you're feeding 3 generations and somebody has to park. It opens at 10 AM, runs to midnight in the week and to 12:30 AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with late-night food on the listing.

Walk in and the first thing you get is the family: ancestors on the walls and paintings by relatives, which is why living room turns up as a review topic at 5. Sakhli Kipianze is a women-owned Georgian restaurant on Dimitri Kipiani Street with 4.9 from 212 reviews, and home cooked food carries 9. Come when you want a family kitchen rather than a supra, and when somebody at the table is vegan: vegan options has 6 mentions of its own. It's dine-in only, 12:30 to 11:30 PM, and street parking is hard to find.

The wine list is the reason you're here, and the khachapuri is what you order against it. St.Bunny calls itself a modern restaurant and wine bar near Rustaveli Avenue, with over 300 Georgian and international wines and a sommelier named in 140 review topics. It sits at 4.7 from 2,725 Google reviews, and cozy place carries another 103. Come for the long version of dinner: it runs 11 AM to 2 AM daily, and tables go through the restaurant's own booking page.

Tbili Kera is the new room on this stretch of Old Tbilisi, and it's already at 4.9 from 203 Google reviews. It's a Georgian restaurant on Giorgi Leonidze Street whose own listing pitches Georgian warmth alongside European flavours, with pelmeni at 12 review topics and lovely staff at 5. Come when you want Old Tbilisi without the queue outside it, and take the second floor, which is low sofas and a table rather than chairs. Doors run 12 PM to 1 AM daily.
