Where to find specific cuts of meat (chicken thighs, turkey, drumsticks) in Tbilisi, not just whole chicken?

In September 2026 a shopper looking for places to buy meat and cottage cheese wrote that the prices for chilled meat at Carrefour were shockingly high. So the supermarket is not the budget option for such purchases.

Finding them on a map is awkward: in mid-August 2026 a traveler noticed that on maps they are marked the same way as fruit-and-vegetable shops, and suggested that the practical way is to walk around the neighbourhood.

In August 2026 participants recommended small standalone shops that sell only meat: the range there is wider than in regular grocery stores. The easiest way to find one is to ask locals — for example, staff at the nearest grocery store.

An early-August 2026 visit to a regular market was disappointing: the breasts looked stale and were leaking, there was little pork or beef, and the fridges were half-empty. The shopper suggested it may be necessary to come very early in the morning for a fresher choice.

At Samgori and Varketili markets, travelers in August 2026 found the meat selection rather thin, and in ordinary shops the freezers held mostly whole chickens and over-frozen breasts. Boneless chicken thighs, separate drumsticks, turkey thighs, hearts or duck were not to be found there.
