Klike's Khinkali

Top choice in Tbilisi


You have to know about this rather hidden boho brick-lined basement on the Mtatsminda hillside, but once you've been here you're likely to keep coming back, as for our money its khinkali are Tbilisi's best. The thin dough and delicious fillings are super simple but utterly mouth-watering, and there's good-quality beer and wine by the glass too.
