For a more local meat experience, lamb got especially strong praise: one traveler described it as so tender it practically melted. Telavi was mentioned as a reference point, which makes it more of a Kakheti food trip than a central Tbilisi option.

Among hearty meat dishes, travelers highlighted a kazan-kebab style serving: a very large piece of meat with whole potatoes. This is a useful option if you want a filling traditional meat dish rather than a steakhouse-style meal.
