Stop 9

A well-known place specializing in serving khinkali. Rather hidden boho brick-lined basement on the Mtatsminda hillside, but once you’ve been here you’re likely to keep coming back, as these khinkali are some of Tbilisi’s best. The thin dough and delicious fillings are super simple but utterly mouth-watering, and you will be able to try Georgian wines made in traditional and European ways.
