TL;DR
Must-try dishes in Tbilisi include mtsvadi (Georgian skewered meat, better than regular shashlik) and local shawarma in lavash with tomatoes, cucumbers, and hot peppers — no cabbage or carrots like in Russia.
What the community said
For the best grilled meat in Georgia, order mtsvadi rather than regular shashlik. Authentic Georgian mtsvadi cooked properly is considered superior to any other skewered meat — seek it out specifically.

Georgian-style shawarma has become very popular in Tbilisi. The classic version comes in lavash with plenty of meat, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, ketchup-mayo or house sauce, and hot peppers — notably without cabbage or carrots. One of the early popular chains was Gldani Shawarma, though quality has reportedly declined.
