Tbilisi Georgian Restaurant

Tbilisi Georgian Restaurant in Phuket is a Georgian spot in the Bang Tao area, featuring a refreshed dining room and a scenic waterside setting. The terrace overlooks the lagoon, and dinner here is especially enjoyable in the evening — plenty of space, soft lights, a calm lake view, and even the occasional local monitor lizard.

The menu is built around Georgian classics with a few creative twists. Khinkali and khachapuri are the mainstays (including Adjarian-style, plus more unusual combinations such as pear with Dorblu). You’ll also find grilled meats, hearty bean-and-meat dishes, hot vegetarian starters, pkhali, a “Tbilisi” salad, kutabs, and desserts like baklava. The fish soup deserves a special mention — many guests end up coming back for it. Georgian wines are available, along with other drinks and alcohol.

Service can be inconsistent: some visits are quick and attentive, while at other times it may take a while to place an order, items can be missed, and the wait can drag on. Portions in some dishes feel on the smaller side, and prices lean toward the higher end. Indoors, it can get warm even with the AC running; on the terrace, mosquito repellent is useful on warm evenings. Music is sometimes played quite loudly, which isn’t always ideal for conversation.
