Pasanauri

The food here was excellent—we visited Georgia for over 10 days and ended up coming back to this restaurant twice. The BBQ chicken was especially delicious, and the Ostri was also outstanding—perfect for dipping with bread. Prices were very reasonable, making it one of our favorite dining spots during the trip. The staff were attentive and friendly. However, some dishes take quite a while to prepare, so if your food seems delayed, it’s a good idea to politely follow up. The only downside was the strong smell of cigarette smoke from outside, which often drifted into the restaurant and affected the dining atmosphere a bit.

Good atmosphere. Got a lot of food however I found the khinkali quite salty, still Worth a try though! The beef stew was really really really tough. The servers are grumpy and have an attitude, they look like you’ve annoyed them, for just breathing.

Tasty food, reasonable price and great location. I tried the iconic khachapuri and khinkali for take away first and second day because it seemed that the restaurant was always fully booked. Reservation is recommended. The staff was busy as well so, I had to be quick and clear with my choice. Waiting time for order was 20-30 minutes.

If you want to try Georgian cuisine done well but without posh atmosphere, this is the place. A perfect mix of "locals dine here but tourists are still welcome", very close to major sights but slightly off the beaten path, rather busy but no wait. Good home-made wine and fine brandy also in abundance. I heartily recommend them.

A delicious four hour lunch with a warm welcome on a chilly day. We didn’t want to leave. We shared freshly made steaming hot khinkali, pkhali with a side of carrot salad and Georgian salad and many glasses of homemade wine. The atmosphere is private, cosy and traditionally rustic with lattice booths. They have a call button on each table to alert the wait staff which is really cool and convenient. We pressed it many times to order more wine and within seconds a smiling face would arrive to take our order. What a wonderfully delicious and casual long lunch. Pasanauri has a reputation as a solid Tbilisi staple and now I know why.

Good georgian food. I came here for the second time now and i am even more impressed than after the 1st visit. Congratulations to the owner and staff!

It’s an awful experience starting from the waiters only 1 of the 3 waiters were actually smiling and helpful . Moving on to the food the chicken salad was below average and just had a lot of mayonnaise in it , the Khachapuri was ok not the best but wasn’t bad for sure , lastly the chicken with garlic sauce was the worst by far we’ve only tasted it and couldn’t even eat it ( too dry + the sauce was watery >> supposed to be thicker and flavorful )

We stumbled upon Pasanauri on Alexander Griboedov Street just by chance. A short climb to the small front door…lo and behold onto a charming quaint Georgian style wooden interior. The welcome at the door from the get-go was phenomenal! What a pleasant surprise! Rustic. Cozy. Aged. These are words that come to mind. They specialise in Georgian cuisine, though the menu is not extensive it’s sufficient to quench your appetite. And we were not disappointed… the chicken soup was delicious with two huge chunks of meat within. The traditional beef soup was laced with paprika and other flavour full herbs. The beef melted in your mouth! Meanwhile the grilled trout was seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper. Very fresh. Grilled to perfection! Come whenever you’re in the neighbourhood…!!! …. service was good too!
