Samikitno / Machakhela Restaurant review (Meidan square, Tbilisi)

Samiktno / Machakhela is a restaurant chain located in Tbilisi, Republic of Georga. One of it's prominent restaurants is located at Meidan Square, just in the heart of Tbilisi Old Town offering breathtaking views towards Metekehi church (in front of which is located Vahtang Gorgasali statue).

This is one of the rare places in Georgia where you can get combos

We are proud, that we were among the first to bring to Georgian market so-called ”combos”.  That is, combined portion dishes which are intended for one person and differ from the practice of delivering dishes to traditional Georgian feast, where food is shared by all members of the table. I would like to say, that the above-mentioned combos are very popular not only among local population, but among those numerous guests who come to our country.   

I have been heading here for dozens of times, in today's photo article I'll share some pictures I did here in frames of Piece of Life photo shooting: Tbilisi - Winter Fairyland

Now, this is more interesting, The food is called Gomi, which consists from rice porridge in which Georgian Sulguni cheese is stacked + fried chicken leg. I have tried this just once - and actually it tastes damned good.

The bottom line

This is a good, tourist friendly place, serving Georgian style food in European way. If you are looking for authentic Georgian cuisine, you will find it very softened here
