Cite as: GTour desk, gtour.ge. - Canonical: https://gtour.ge/georgia-places/place-ethno-tsiskvili/ - Author: Prof. Giorgi Pkhakadze - Published: 2026-09-14 - Updated: 2026-10-29 - Language: en - Russian edition: https://gtour.ge/ru/georgia-places/place-ethno-tsiskvili/ ### In short Ethno Tsiskvili is one of eight restaurants operated by the Tsiskvili Group, a Georgian hospitality company that says it has run traditional restaurants since 2002. The restaurant sits at Beliashvili street 99 in Tbilisi, an address it shares with several other Tsiskvili Group venues, including Ludis Moedani Dighomi, Ghvinis Ezo (Wine Yard), Sanadimo and Theatre. The menu is built around Georgian staples — khachapuri, khinkali-adjacent grilled and stewed meats, pkhali, cheeses, and shared platters — alongside a grill section and a dedicated dessert list. ### The concept, the chef and the room The Tsiskvili Group describes itself, on its own website, as a network that has grown over two decades into what it calls a leading chain of traditional Georgian restaurants, known internationally as a place to encounter Georgian architecture, culture, cuisine and folklore. The group states its mission is to share Georgia’s cultural heritage through food, architecture and hospitality, and its stated values include authenticity, respect for culinary tradition, and treating guests “like family.” It says it employs more than 750 people across its eight restaurants and has received awards at Georgian and international industry competitions, though it does not name the specific awards or juries on the page reviewed. The company’s public materials describe the group as a whole rather than Ethno Tsiskvili individually, so no head chef is named for this particular address, and no specific description of the dining room, décor or seating capacity is given beyond the general claim that Tsiskvili venues showcase Georgian architecture and folklore. The group says it hosts cultural events, culinary masterclasses and folklore or choreographic evenings across its restaurants, and it has organised festivals such as Tbilisoba and a “Georgian Wine and Regions Festival,” which it says are designed to promote Georgian products and culture. Whether such events take place specifically at the Beliashvili 99 compound is not stated. *Image: Ethno Tsiskvili — Rustic restaurant interior with stone walls, wooden beams, and a wine shelf bar. — Rustic restaurant interior with stone walls, wooden beams, and a wine shelf bar.

According to the published menu, prices range from around 4.50 GEL for bread to 210 GEL for a whole baked beef shank intended for sharing; most individual main courses fall between 20 and 60 GEL. The site states that listed prices include VAT, and it asks guests to inform their waiter if they need allergen information, implying that a full allergen list is not printed on the menu itself. No opening hours are published on the pages reviewed, so guests should confirm timing directly with the restaurant before visiting. ### Reservations and practical details The Tsiskvili Group lists a single head-office contact for its restaurants: phone +995 32 2 00 55 55 and email info@tsiskvili.ge. The website does not provide a restaurant-specific phone line or an online booking form for Ethno Tsiskvili, so reservation enquiries would go through this central contact. The site also includes an “order” function for food delivery, though it does not specify which of the group’s locations this covers. ### Location and getting there Ethno Tsiskvili is located at Beliashvili street 99 in Tbilisi. Beliashvili street runs through the Didube–Dighomi area in the northwestern part of the city, away from the historic centre. The same address is given on the official site for several other Tsiskvili Group restaurants — Ludis Moedani Dighomi, Ghvinis Ezo, Sanadimo and Theatre — indicating that Ethno Tsiskvili forms part of a larger multi-restaurant compound rather than a single standalone building. Travellers arriving from central Tbilisi would typically approach via Beliashvili street; the website does not give parking, metro or public-transport details, so visitors are advised to arrange a taxi or confirm transport options when booking. ### Good to know - Part of the Tsiskvili Group, which the company says was founded in 2002 and now runs eight restaurants in and around Tbilisi. - Shares its Beliashvili 99 address with several sister restaurants in the same group. - Menu prices are stated to include VAT. - Allergen information is available on request from the waiting staff rather than printed on the menu. - The group says it employs more than 750 people across its restaurants. - The group states it hosts cultural events and festivals, including Tbilisoba, across its venues. - No chef’s name, dress code, or opening hours are published on the official website pages reviewed. - A delivery/order option is referenced on the site, though the covered locations are not specified. ### Questions travellers ask #### What type of cuisine does Ethno Tsiskvili serve?

The Tsiskvili Group lists a central phone number (+995 32 2 00 55 55) and email (info@tsiskvili.ge) for enquiries. No restaurant-specific booking line or online reservation system is published for this location. #### Is Ethno Tsiskvili good for group dining?

Beliashvili street 99 in [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/) and is one of several venues operated under the Tsiskvili restaurant group. The site states that the group has been serving “authentic Georgian” cuisine since 2002, positioning Ethno Tsiskvili within a longer-running restaurant tradition rather than as a standalone newcomer. The website presents a dedicated menu page for Ethno Tsiskvili alongside separate menu pages for the group’s other properties, indicating that each location has its own menu rather than a single shared one. The site also includes an option to order traditional dishes directly online, described on the page as “order traditional dishes,” though no delivery area, minimum order, or pricing details are given. Several other venues share the same Beliashvili 99 address or are listed nearby, including Ludis Moedani Dighomi (Beliashvili 99), Ghvinis Ezo / Wine Yard (Beliashvili 99), Sanadimo (Beliashvili 99), and a Theatre venue (Beliashvili 99). The group also lists Ludis Moedani Saburtalo at Al. Kazbegi 27, Tsiskvili Terrace at Z. Gamsakhurdia embankment 80, [Mtskheta](https://gtour.ge/georgia/mtskheta/) Tsiskvili at K. Gamsakhurdia 7 in Mtskheta, and Tsqneti Tsiskvili at Sh. Rustaveli 106 in Tsqneti. The site does not specify which facilities, seating areas, or services are exclusive to Ethno Tsiskvili versus shared across the group’s compound on Beliashvili street. The website’s news section reports that the group organized Tbilisoba 2026 celebrations at “Tsiskvili” and also staged the “Georgian Wine and Regions Festival 2026.” The site describes this wine and regions festival as a project aimed at reviving Georgian history and promoting Georgian products and culture. These are described as events organized by the Tsiskvili Group, without confirmation that they take place specifically at the Ethno Tsiskvili address rather than another group venue. - Address: A.
