    Juicy soup dumplings & this swirling cheese, egg & butter action in this boat shape bread(Acharuli Khachapuri)! Overalll I was impressed. Service was fantastic and they were pretty busy considering it was Monday. Next time want to try their sizzling meat platter.

    First time having Georgian food and so glad to have found that restaurant! Delicious food and service was great given how busy they were. The Georgian kebab with potatoes was my favorite dish of the evening. Indoor and outdoor seating. There is no wait list but the line for a table went quickly. The cheese bread took about an 1h15m to come out but was worth the wait.

    Small family-owned restaurant, big Georgian pride. We've never had Georgian cuisine before, and Tiflisi welcomed our curious and hungry tummies with open arms. We went here for dinner and tried: - Assorted Pkhali: Colourful balled up vegetable spreads with walnuts. Super refreshing, tastily nutty, and great with bread. - Khachapuri Acharuli: OMG this was good. It was basically a lake of cheese in a boat of some of the best bread in the city. There's a yolk and butter sitting on top which you mix in with the cheese, making it even more thick and gooey. Not sure if this is the Georgian version of fondue but it was waaaaay better. Everything about this dish was so good! - Traditional Khinkali: Dumplings with soup, with a thick outer skin and a small patty-like filling inside. The beef and pork mix was pretty tasty, and I really loved the thick coating. - Chashushuli: Essentially, beef stew on a hot plate. While I would have liked the beef cubes to be a bit more tender, the hearty stew packed them with flavour. - Cake Napoleon: Light and flaky and buttery. Just a really good dessert. - Pelamushi: A traditional Georgian dessert. Consistency was jello-like, but sweet and much more gritty than I'm used to. But that's what's awesome about trying new cuisines right? Getting exposed to things that look seemingly familiar but taste entirely different. Service was super welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Kitchen was quick despite it being packed. Prices are not cheap but reasonable for what you get. Place itself is small but interesting and has a great casual atmosphere. I'm no expert on Georgian cuisine but I've definitely fallen in love with it because of this spot. Will be back for sure!

    One of my favourite Georgian restaurants in the GTA!! All the dishes are so beautifully made and they taste incredible!! My favourite dish are the Khinkali and the Khachapuri! The service is one of the best here! The staff and owners are really kind and thoughtful! The ambiance is always happiness! I always have the best time at Tiflisi!

    * 5 Stars are solely dedicated to the Traditional Khinkali (Georgian soup dumpling). First time to try Khinkali in my life and I LOVED this. Massive, full of meat, spices, and broth. Khinkali felt doughier than other types of dumplings especially the top knot part. But learned that this part is just a handle to hold the dumpling, and not supposed to eat. Make sense! They were boiled perfectly - the dough around the meat was soft and elastic. The inside was minced meat which was coarsely ground, and with the perfect amount of spices - super hearty. The broth was plenty and rich. One of the most powerful, flavorful and dynamic food that I have eaten ever. Served no frills. The simple deliciousness demonstrates the good quality of the ingredients and authenticity. SOOO Happy!!!!!

    What a great little place! Wonderful service and excellent food. I strongly recommend you call ahead and make reservations. Note, you will need to pay a deposit for the reservation. I'm guessing the restaurant has had too many people not show up for their reservation and losing out on potential walk-in business. The food is super taste. They seem to use quite a bit of cilantro, and if you are not a fan of it, like myself, the servers were great with providing recommendations of things I might like or dislike. We were a group of eight, so we were able to order a variety of items. Some of the highlights for us were: * Penovani - Puff pastry with cheese inside * Georgian Bread * Traditional Style "Khinkali" - Soup dumplings with beef & pork (this is one of the items with cilantro in it) * Chkmeruli - Fried chicken covered in a cream sauce with garlic (goes great with rice or bread) * Mixed Plate with Pork - comes with tried potatoes, marinated vegetables and rice. The menu says the platter seats 4 but we all agreed that I could easily feed 6 of us. * Strawberry Kompot We had a wonderful time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

    Georgian food is probably one of the world's most underrated and under-appreciated cuisine in Toronto. It has distinct flavours comparable to Greece and the Mediterranean as well as influences from Turkey and Persia. Toronto doesn't have a lot of Georgian restaurants so we're happy that we can at least try Georgian comfort foods at Restaurant Tiflisi. If there's one dish that you should try here - it's gotta be their Khinkali. Think of Khinkali as a comparison to a Chinese Xia Long Bao. The main difference being is that Khinkali is boiled while Xia Long Bao is steamed. Khinkali's dough is also much thicker which is similar to a Turkish Manti. Ordered Tiflisi's Traditional Style Khinkali and it was the real deal. The ground beef/pork filling was well seasoned and encased in a light and fluffy dough. It was pure heaven biting into one of these dumplings with delicious juices flowing into your mouth. Kachapuri Acharuli is another favorite here. It's a Georgian cheese boat bread with egg yolk in the middle. Buttery, cheesy and doughy, this cheese-filled bread ticks just about every comfort food box there is. Tiflisi is also a meat lover's paradise as their main dish menu is a plethora of meat and potatoes ranging from barbecue to stews. Their Chicken Shashlik and Beef/Pork Georgian Style Kebabs tasted juicy, moist and flavourful. Authentic comfort Georgian food, Tiflisi also now carries the Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction which is awarded to restaurants that offer multi-course meals at reasonable prices. An award that is well-deserved indeed!

    It's so hard to come to beaches and not eat at Limon, the restaurant next door which has been our favorite for a while. Finally, we made the leap and came here because we are big fans of the rich khachapuri. I think this is the only Georgian place or one of the few ones in GTA. Kachapuri was outstanding. It came out nice and hot and the cheeses and the eggs and butter were just perfect. The restaurant has a beautiful decor. Everything was smelling great. Wish we had a larger appetite to eat more. I know there will always be a next time. I would definitely categorize this place as fine dining. The service is very slow. That's the only reason I knocked a star off. The restroom is downstairs and has steep steps to go down.

    We made reservations for 6:30 on a Thursday. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and has nine tables. Although small it is modern and clean. Our server was really nice and gave us some suggestions as to what to order. We ordered several items as we were out for the authentic Georgian experience. For drinks we had the Feijoa compote, two semi-sweet Georgian red wines and a shot of chacha. All these were great The red wines tasted like real grape juice made into wine. Slightly sweet and delicious. The compote was refreshing and was a little like guava. Food: Georgian salad-tomato, cucumber, onion with walnuts and cilantro-deliciously fresh and great tasting. khachapuri #4 (cheese boat with egg yolk)-bread was freshly made and the cheese and egg yolk-wow!? khimkali traditional-stuffed dumplings with soup-nice and spicy-yummy! and chkmeruli (fried chicken with garlic sauce)-nicely fried with a creamy garlic sauce!!! This was my first experience with Georgian food and hopefully not my last....dont think I'm going to be able to find it in my area.

    yummy georgian food although they did spell the name of the restaurant wrong !! love the decor talia says "what about yelp"

    This spot is incredible. The food is so delicious and hearty, and the atmosphere is filled with Georgian paintings, pottery, and TV. The service was very kind and showed us how to enjoy the soup dumplings properly. The khachapuri acharuli is a must try.

    Koji S.

    Absolutely delightful, eye-opening experience. (Wild to see a non-East Asian culture have soup dumplings!) Played it relatively conservatively (in terms of selection) for a vegetarian friend, but I'm excited to come back and try all the options. Service and decor were lovely as well.

    I read about Tiflisi in an article from BlogTO about new restaurants that opened in Toronto. I have a friend from Georgia so I was super excited about trying some Georgian food. It isn't everyday that you get to try Georgian food. I picked up my order from the restaurant and it looked like a super nice venue. The staff were also ver friendly. The food, was amazing. My friend recommended we order Khachapuri Acharuli, the traditional style khinkali, and the Chakhohbili, some classic Georgian dishes. We enjoyed all of it. Our favorite was the Khachapuri Acharuli, soft delicious pide-like bread topped with Georgian cheese. It was absolutely breathe taking. I'm sorry to break it to my Turk friends, but I think I enjoyed the Khachapuri Acharuli better than Pide. I'm sorry.

    Kachapuri (cheese & egg yolk in the middle) - savoury deliciousness!

Many others in reviews of this place have complained about the poor table service and I urge you to take them seriously. It is REALLY BAD. Food wasn't much better. - Greeted at the door by waiter whose entire vibe seemed to be, "what are you doing here?" No warmth, no welcome, no charm, no good cheer; deeply disinterested. - No offer of drinks. None. Not alcohol or anything else. When we asked, the waiter was surprised that someone would want to order drinks. My simple soda did not arrive until the middle of the meal after I asked again. - Proper cutlery was never delivered for eating pasta. - Desert would have been nice if we hadn't already spent a ton of time waiting around intending to spend more money. We went elsewhere. As to the food... I ordered the Italian Classic Spaghetti à la Carabonara. The world is filled with terrible carabonaras but this set a new low. It was like ramen. I coated noodles sat in a bowl of thin yellow/brown fluid that tasted only of mushrooms, presumably from the guanciale. Parmasean would have been helped but if you don't care, you offer only Romano as was delivered here yesterday. So think of it as Pork Noodle Soup. Speaking of soup, I was interested in ordering some but the waiter couldn't describe it except to list every ingredient imaginable for soup. I took a pass on this notorious staple of fake restaurants, "the leftover everything soup". To be fair, my friend had the daily special, crab cakes. He found them light and tasty as opposed to thick and heavy. I am always disturbed whenever I see the presumed chef sitting in the dining room, this one did not have air conditioning on a beautiful June day, staring at the customers, offering no greeting or engagement. I had hoped this might become a regular neighbourhood spot for me. Nope, never. I'd rather travel to a different neighbourhood than come here again.

The Pork Borscht was hearty and comforting, and I loved the traditional pampushky bread. The appetizer portion was very generous. The Adjarian Khachapuri was beautifully presented. The egg and cheese combination tasted delicious, but unfortunately the dough was slightly undercooked. It felt like the kitchen may have been overwhelmed by how busy service was. For dessert, I ordered the Sour Cherry Varenyky -- dumplings filled with sour cherry and served with sour cream. This dessert didn't quite work for me. I can imagine it being nostalgic for those who grew up with it, but the filling lacked sweetness and the addition of sour cream made it taste even more tart. That said, I usually enjoy sour flavours, so this one just didn't land for my personal taste. I tried honey cake thst my friend ordered and I was not disappointed though. I would like to return and give this restaurant another try, as the extremely busy service may have affected both food execution and overall service quality.

My kid ate them and was so full, he refused a pizza at a birthday party some time later. At the same time, syrnyky (19 CAD for three) were a disgrace. Too sweet and sour and almost inedible. I'd suggest making them twice less sweet and get rid of the sour sauce. The restaurant is quite pretentious too! We walked in after the High Park and the waiter immediately said we have to have a reservation, only to then immediately say that we can indeed sit down. - But I understand.
