Retro (Tbilisi)
რეტრო
A well-known spot in Tbilisi for Adjaruli khachapuri, using the recipe from the famous original branch in Batumi, with very generous portions.
Retro is located at 1 Gamrekeli Street in the Saburtalo district, close to the Technical University metro station. It specializes in Adjaruli khachapuri (cheese bread boats) made using the recipe from the famous original branch in Batumi. The large size costs about 20 GEL and is big enough for two to share; the five-egg-yolk "Titanic" is perfect for a family, while individuals can just order the small size and can even request less dough. The preparation process is visible through a glass kitchen window, and the meal is often paired with Lagidze-style lemonade. Reservations are not accepted, service reviews are mixed, and parking nearby is difficult, so taking a taxi or the metro is recommended. The average cost is about 20–30 GEL per person.
