How was the food It was a treat to try Georgian food . Trout is served in every restaurant and is delicious . As the main product of Georgia is fruits and vegetables , all restaurants serve fresh food . Tinned / canned food culture does not exist at all . There are 7-8 Indian restaurants as well .
Any restaurants that you loved Maharajah , an Indian restaurant with Georgian chefs was superb . Another restaurant above the funicular near the TV tower serves fabulous Georgian food .
Tried their street foods ? Street eats such as Kachapuri ( Georgian bread with layers of cheese ) and Khinkali ( which looks like momos ) are delicious and worth a try .
