Saxlis gemo — Restaurant in Tbilisi

Strolling through Old Tbilisi, we stumbled into this little Georgian spot — tiny indoor tables, everyone squeezed in shoulder-to-shoulder, but that’s part of the fun. Feels like eating in grandma’s living room… if grandma, mom, and son were all running the place at once. 💁‍♀️👩‍🍳👨‍👦

Tourists everywhere, couples even grab a bench outside and turn it into a street-side dinner date. Pretty charming.

🍕 The kids loved the khachapuri — less salty than most places, super cheesy, and honestly addictive. 🐖 The ojakhuri pork? Next-level good. 🌮 The “Mexican appreciation dish”? Let’s just say… Georgia should stick to Georgia.

Honestly guys, I have no idea who provided non-5-star rating so that this lovely family restaurant got less than 5, but this is truly a gem of Tbilisi old town area.

This is easily one of the best restaurants we found in Tbilisi. Saxlis Gemo is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and intimate, making you feel like you've been welcomed into a Georgian home.

If you're looking for an unforgettable meal in a clean, charming, and welcoming environment, you cannot go wrong with Saxlis Gemo. Highly...
