Klike's Khinkali — Restaurant in Tbilisi

Dined here last night with very high expectation after reading about this place in Forbes top list to hit in Tbilisi. But honestly, it wasn’t something very special. The foods are rather too salty for us so I had to balance it out with sour cream which didn’t help. I had a terrible throat dryness and tear all throughout the night even as I woke up in the morning. But I believe this could be a perfect taste for locals. The dumpling itself is very juicy with a perfect dumpling dough texture but the salt is all around. We got the special, urban and cheese khinkhali, to which we all preferred the urban among the three, with cheese as our least fave. The place is simple and wasn’t very crowded. As you arrive, you will be greeted with a smoky-alcoholic barlike smell. The choice of music is also nit very appetizing for a meal. I’m rating 2 for the service as we didn’t have a pleasant interaction with the young lady staff who attended to us. She was informative when necessary but the sense of disgust and coldness she shows upon is was rather unpleasant and uncomfortable for our dining experience. The other 2 staff were neutral. Apart from that, they were informative when needed. Prices are reasonable with 1.80 gel per piece of khinkhali and a minimum of 5 pieces for each order of each kind. Prices doesn’t include VAT which is 18%. Overall, this place is a good stop for those who live around and just wanna dig into a quick warm khinkhali bite with alcohol. But, not recommended to tourists compared to what better you could...

Klike's Khinkali is a hidden gem just off Rustaveli Street, tucked away as though guarding its culinary secrets. The intimate setting, with around 10 tables, creates a quiet ambiance that allows you to focus on what you came here for: the khinkali.

This spot offers what are arguably the best khinkali in Tbilisi. The dumplings are crafted with exceptional skill and care, ensuring each bite is a celebration of authentic Georgian flavors. The wine menu is equally impressive, with an array of options that pair beautifully with your meal. The glassware and service do not disappoint either.

Waitstaff are highly approachable and friendly, effortlessly enhancing the overall dining experience. The option to pay by card is also available. As for parking, it's primarily street parking, but given the focus of this review, that seems to be a minor point.

They also offer draft beer, which is a nice touch and makes for a well-rounded beverage selection.

In summary, Klike's Khinkali is a must-visit if your focus is on enjoying top-notch khinkali with a solid wine or draft beer pairing. If you're after a full spread of Georgian cuisine, you may want to explore elsewhere—but for khinkali aficionados, this is the...

I'm so sorry to give this place a low rating, the place itself It's very cool since it's on a basement, but I do have to address the very strong smell of mold and humidity, it was so strong. It was so hard for me personally to breathe and be able to enjoy the food. I think this is what added to me not having a pleasant dining experience. Also the menu doesn't explain but if you are here for the Khinkali you can only get five of the same at first, which it's kind of hard to do when you want to try them all. Especially if you're here as a tourists or you have come to this place because you saw the TV show somebody feed Phil. The atmosphere fell very blunt un inviting or welcoming whatsoever. And when it comes to the taste of the food, to be honest it wasn't any special thing as the show makes it seem like, it didn't have any amazing taste. We have the same dishes at other places that honestly were more tasty and better mix and match options, but I do appreciate that they were willing to accommodate us without a...
