Doli in Telavi: menu, reviews and what to check before visiting

At a glance

Doli Telavi is in Telavi, at 11 Cholokashvili Street, at the Communal hotel. The address appears on Communal’s page, and the Doli listing on Madloba can help you check the location on the map. Before travelling, confirm the opening day and your reservation: Doli has a separate venue in Kutaisi, whose menu and hours should not be applied to Telavi.

Information checked on 26 October 2026.

How to check you have the right restaurant

On Doli’s official website, select the Doli Telavi section. The same page also links to Doli Kutaisi, so check the city name again before viewing the menu or making a reservation.

For directions, open Find Us for Telavi and compare the address with your reservation confirmation. If you are walking there after exploring the town, save the entrance location. If you are driving, ask about parking before setting off.

Opening days and reservations

Doli Telavi’s official page lists hours of 14:00 to 23:00, with Tuesday and Wednesday marked as closed; checked on 26 October 2026. Confirm these arrangements with the restaurant before travelling, particularly if you are planning an early lunch or a weekend visit.

Communal’s page lists +995 577 94 12 12 as the contact number for Doli, checked on 26 October 2026. Give the date, time and size of your group. Ask how long the table will be held and whether a deposit is required.

Important. Restaurant hours, hotel breakfast and pool access are separate arrangements. Reserving a table does not include booking hotel services.

What to look for on the menu

The Doli Telavi menu section has separate links for food and drinks. Start with the menu for the correct venue, then ask whether your chosen dishes will be available on the day of your visit. The restaurant’s official description mentions seasonal starters, dishes cooked over fire and Georgian baked specialities.

For a group, discuss dishes to share and portion sizes. If you prefer vegetable dishes, ask about sauces and extras: a short name does not always reveal every ingredient. If you have an allergy, name the specific food.

Lunch for two: which dishes are good for sharing.

A group gathering: seating, portion sizes and the order in which dishes are served.

Dinner after a tour: kitchen hours and how late you may arrive.

A special diet: full ingredients and possible adjustments.

Tip. Pick a few suitable dishes and first check how much food to order. This makes it easier to try different things without ordering too many similar portions.

How to estimate the cost

Ask for the current restaurant menu and find out about any mandatory charges. Calculate the total for your own order: drinks and extra dishes can make a considerable difference.

Common mistake. Treating an old PDF or someone else’s receipt as a final cost estimate for this evening. Even an official menu link needs a check of availability and prices before ordering.

What reviews tell you

On Tripadvisor, visitors discuss the food, presentation and atmosphere. Restaurant Guru combines ratings from different sources. Use these reviews to decide what to ask before visiting, rather than as a promise of a particular service speed.

Compare accounts of the same venue and similar visiting times. A hotel guest’s breakfast review says little about the arrangements for a visitor coming for dinner. For a quiet meeting, discuss seating, music and nearby events in advance.

How to arrange your visit

Select Doli Telavi on the official website.

Check the day and time, then request a table for your group.

Discuss the menu, reservation conditions and seating preferences.

Save the confirmation, address and entrance location.

Example. “We would like to reserve a table at Doli Telavi. Please confirm the opening day and kitchen hours. We would like a quiet table where we can talk; please let us know the reservation conditions and the current menu.” This is a request, not a confirmed reservation.

Before you leave

Check before travelling: the city is Telavi, the opening day, reservation confirmation, address and entrance, menu and extra charges, and your return journey.

    Un restaurante muy interesante. La comida es sabrosa y las porciones están bien, pero el servicio podría ser un poco más rápido. El ambiente es genial, sobre todo por la noche. ¿Es obligatorio reservar mesa los fines de semana?

    ძალიან საინტერესო ადგილია. საჭმელი გემრიელია და პორციებიც ნორმალური, მაგრამ მომსახურება ცოტა ნელი იყო. ატმოსფერო საღამოობით განსაკუთრებით კარგია. შაბათ-კვირას წინასწარ დაჯავშნა აუცილებელია?

    Geçenlerde ziyaret ettik, çok ilginç bir mekan. Yemekler lezzetli ve porsiyonlar iyi ama servis biraz daha hızlı olabilirdi. Özellikle akşamları atmosfer harika. Hafta sonu için rezervasyon yaptırmak şart mı?

    Ein sehr interessantes Restaurant! Das Essen ist lecker und die Portionen sind großzügig, aber der Service könnte etwas schneller sein. Die Atmosphäre ist besonders abends toll. Muss man am Wochenende zwingend einen Tisch reservieren?

    რესტორანში საკვები მართლაც კარგი ჩანს, უბრალოდ მაინტერესებს, კიბის გვერდით არსებული ოთახები სტუმრებისთვისაც ხელმისაწვდომია თუ არა?

    Интересно, а бассейн в отеле при ресторане доступен только гостям или его можно использовать и при дневном посещении ресторана?

    I loved the quiet atmosphere and the attention to detail in the dishes. Does anyone know if the pool area is open to restaurant guests only or also to hotel visitors?

    Очень подробный обзор! Ресторан Doli действительно звучит как отличное место для тех, кто ищет спокойную атмосферу и качественную кухню. Минусы вроде количества мест — это важно учитывать, но они не делают место менее привлекательным. Кажется, что здесь действительно заботятся о своих гостях, и это главное. Хорошие советы для туристов и владельцев!
