A great place, including for those with children! The city center is almost on Freedom Square. Ground floor, atmospheric photos in the interior. Georgian cuisine. Excellent khinkali, delicious Georgian salad with excellent delicious tomatoes, the whole tsimes is from them) A pleasant white wine in a jug, light and soft. Children are delighted with the chicken kebab, tender and juicy (it is also delicious for adults))) There is a huge portion of Greek salad, keep in mind) The grub is so-so (the meat is rubber, it does not chew, I would cook it for another couple of hours ... The price tag is humane. I recommend it!

A great place for a quick lunch. The food is high-quality and delicious. They cook fast enough. The price is average, even slightly below average. But disadvantages follow from the advantages - a simple interior, terrible cold light, no comfort, service flaws - there is a lot of traffic, there is not enough attention for everyone. Definitely not worth coming here for a romantic dinner)))

The iconic khinkalnaya in the center of Tbilisi.
As we already know, if there is a queue at a restaurant, it means that there is a unique combination of price and quality.
Meet (if you haven't been here yet)
"Khinkalnaya Velyaminov", located in the very center, on Freedom Square. Georgian cuisine is very tasty here, and the check is 30 percent lower than in other popular establishments in the area.
The service is excellent.
This is a place where you can eat very, very tasty Georgian food, and pay for it a third less than in other good authentic restaurants.
Here are the most delicious khinkali of all that we have tasted in Tbilisi.
Our order for three:
- 20 hinkals (large and juicy)
- eggplant rolls
- a large salad of fresh vegetables
- chacha 250 gr.
We ate too much and everything was insanely delicious.
It came out for 630 lari (2,300 rubles).

These guys are the best! We went here three times during the trip and it was always incredibly delicious. Real Georgian cuisine, fast service, waiter girls help with the choice. Trout stuffed with suluguni, delight! I've never seen one like it anywhere. Khinkali are standard, the minimum portion is 10 pieces, for two it's best to take a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes with nuts. The veal was also on top. In general, an authentic, simple place in terms of interior, for those who want classic Georgian cuisine!

Russian Russian is a friendly atmosphere, the staff speaks Russian well (for Russian speakers, a special two-sided menu is completely in Russian). The prices are reasonable, they give you large portions for them, so don't order too much. Khinkali - from 10 pieces, but it is possible to take with you what you have not finished.
The receipt does not include service, but it is indicated at the bottom of the menu that this is 10% of the receipt.
Very tasty Imeretian khachapuri, try it!

Great cuisine, great atmosphere!
I have visited this place more than once with friends and family. The restaurant is modest and inconspicuous, but I advise guests of Georgia to definitely visit it! You won't regret it for sure.
But there is one very unpleasant moment: at the end of July 2024, the owners banned the use of a Russian-language menu in the restaurant. It 's a shame 🫤

We found an institution based on reviews on the Internet, pleasant staff, delicious food. The design of the place looks like an innkeeper, not a restaurant, the menu is in a file, but the cuisine is delicious. The staff speaks Russian, good service, we didn't wait for food for a long time. We ordered trout stuffed with suluguni and walnuts, and brought a whole fish generously stuffed. It is very tasty and unusual. We took a veal kebab, tender, not fatty meat. And pork ojahuri, the pork was fat. But as I understand it, all pork dishes in Georgia are fatty. Plus lemonade and beer to order. It cost all 64 lari. They were found, because the portions were good.

It's an amazing place. Coffee is brewed in jezve. Keep in mind there are "two" Velyamin places nearby. Two veris are next to each other. This is one place!!! There are more people in the area closer to Freedom Square. If there is a queue in it (which moves quickly), feel free to go to the next door. The order is at least 10 Khinkali, you can order 11, 12, etc. Don't be afraid, they are very good. My husband and I were scared at first, and then realized that we had to order 12)) Khinkali sauce is ordered separately. The main thing!!!! The kitchen closes at 21.30!!!! The last orders are only at 21:00 . At 21:15, everyone has already been calculated. You can sit until 22:00 for sure. Be sure to go, you won't regret it

This is the perfect and best home-made khinkal in the center of Tbilisi. We come here for lunch every trip.
1. Khinkali is delicious, fragrant, but the order is 20 pieces. I'm waiting for two.
2. Kebab and khachipuri in Adjarian at the highest level.
3. The salad is cool. It is coarsely cut, as is customary in Georgia. We definitely take it with nuts.
4. The staff is fast and friendly.
Minus, only waiting - there is often a full landing

It's a great place, we recommend it to everyone. We have been there three times in a week, we ordered different dishes all the time and they are all very tasty. The portions are large, so be careful with the order, otherwise you will feed chicken and khachapuri then cats and dogs in the city, as we did after the first visit.

Based on the excellent rating, we chose this place to enjoy Georgian cuisine. Everything was cooked very quickly. When we saw what was brought to us, we were delighted with how appetizing everything looked. I wanted to try it as soon as possible, we were anticipating the taste of Georgian spices. But... unfortunately, of all that was on our table, only Natakhtari lemonade can be called delicious... We ordered ojahuri with chicken. The chicken was fat, the potatoes were fat. No trace of Georgian spices. It was very salty. We ordered "Georgian bread" from the menu, which turned out to be yesterday's hard pita bread. The pork kebab turned out to be ordinary meat fried in a frying pan. The smell was disgusting, the meat was not chewed. In general, if you want to try real Georgian cuisine, then you definitely are not here. There was only lemonade from Georgian.

It's a great place, but it's better to book a table in advance. We were lucky, we were hooked up with a single girl, and as a result, the evening was also brightened up by a wonderful company. The food is delicious, the portions are large. One khachapuri, 10 khinkali and a decanter of compote were enough for two of us. The prices are quite reasonable. The rating of the institution, in my opinion, is justified.

Honestly, I fell for 5 stars on Yandex, but this is the worst place out of 7 visited khinkals and restaurants in Tbilisi, with the worst khinkals. These hinkals have the smallest amount of meat than anywhere else.
The salad is completely dry and looks, to put it mildly, not presentable, as if it was spat back out.
An eggplant snack, completely dry - well, very bad.
Do not repeat my mistakes, there are many good establishments in Tbilisi and this is neither it, nor wasting time, money and your mood.

We came here with our family to eat khinkali according to recommendations from the Internet
There was a terrible smell of bleach and something not particularly edible from the doorway.
Perhaps it was we who "got" at the wrong time ... and on another day / hour everything is OK in terms of smells, but my appetite strayed 100% right from the threshold. I wanted to leave this institution immediately, but my family asked me to give them a "chance" because the reviews on the Internet were very good.
As a result, we took a Georgian salad (tomatoes were not edible, Kakheti oil was not felt at all) and khinkali from beef (the dough was not bad, there was little filling).
There is no interior, it looks like a standard eatery, the service is terrible (plates are not put on, but thrown on the table)…
I will not come to this institution anymore.
Khinkali was very tasty in Tsiskvili - the service there is excellent and clean and delicious.
Therefore, whoever chooses a place to "eat khinkali" - I recommend another place.

We found this cafe based on reviews, and it turned out to be really good. Prices are relatively inexpensive, and food is much cheaper than in the old town. Khinkali 1.5 lari, kebab 10, eggplant with walnuts 10, homemade wine 8 liters. Everything is very tasty and satisfying. It's always busy, so if you come to lunch or dinner, you'll have to wait until a table is available. You can sit down without waiting in line at 4-5 o'clock.

To my great regret, I visited the restaurant and was upset by the Adjarian khachapuri, namely its quality - the cheese in them tasted like cottage cheese, and slightly seasoned with a more delicious variety of cheese. (score 3 (three) with a huge minus)
Quite edible khinkali kalakuri, but very thick dough (tvedaya-score 3 (three).
Only the shish kebab turned out to be delicious, a solid score of 5 (five). When it's delicious, then it's delicious.
