Kiwi Vegan Café is an informal vegan cafe and hub for young people. Kiwi Cafe became famous all over the world after the curious "meat pogrom" of 2016, when radicals broke in there with sausages – since then, the cafe has only gained popularity among the free-thinking public.

It was probably the only fully vegan establishment in the Caucasus: “Outside of seasonal fast menus, probably the only vegan place in the Caucasus. The food is cheap, excellent, and the wine is dry”.

Translated: the food here is inexpensive and stunningly delicious – the guests especially like falafel, tofu burgers, curries, and vegan cakes.

The atmosphere is very relaxed: the walls are painted by artists, there is a book exchange, film screenings and concerts take place in the evenings.

Kiwi Cafe is located in a basement at 6 Makashvili St. (next to Rustaveli Avenue) and has a cult status among alternative youth.

The reviews are mostly enthusiastic, although the service can be slow – no one is in a hurry here.

Nevertheless, the cafe holds a high rating of ~4.5, and guests appreciate its unique atmosphere and delicious plant-based food.

For all vegetarians and just the curious, Kiwi is a must–visit point.

    As vegetarians, we entered with hopes for a solid vegan meal, but it felt more like a theory than a restaurant. The food was truly disappointing from beginning to end. We ordered a burrito and a chickpea burger, but the chickpea “patty” was merely a falafel in disguise, which came off as a lack of creativity and effort. The burrito was surprisingly devoid of any flavor—no seasoning or depth, just bland ingredients wrapped together like an unpolished draft.

    It was one of those rare meals where you start eating and slowly realize you won't finish—not because you're full, but because there's nothing compelling enough to continue. We left feeling hungrier than when we arrived, which is quite an achievement in the worst way.

    The concept and messaging are clearly aiming for something meaningful, but good intentions can't replace basic cooking. Right now, it feels less like a restaurant and more like a paid lecture, with food being an afterthought.

    At the end of the day, customers shouldn't be part of an experiment. If people are paying to eat, they should at least expect food that tastes like someone put in the effort.

    This is one of the few vegan spots in Tbilisi, and I’m really glad we chose to eat here. The staff is extremely friendly, and the ambiance is both welcoming and relaxing. It’s a great place to unwind and savor delicious vegan dishes! I highly recommend the buckwheat with tofu and the eggplant sandwich—they're really tasty! The fresh carrot juice and homemade lemonade were also excellent. The pasta with vegan cheese could use a bit more seasoning. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit to try some items from the menu! 🙌

    I had a wonderful lunch here. I had a delicious lentil soup with Georgian seeded rye bread and a detox smoothie. It was only ₾32 lari, which is under £10. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is comfortable, making it a nice spot to connect with local vegans.

    This place was the first fully vegan restaurant to open in Tbilisi, 11 years ago. The owners are dedicated vegans who care deeply about animals, supporting local sanctuaries and helping re-home abandoned dogs.

    The menu is extensive, featuring soups, shawarma, burgers, and tasty desserts, as well as juices, smoothies, and kombucha.

    Das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker und wird frisch zubereitet. Das Personal ist super freundlich. Die Mexican Potato ist ein echter Geheimtipp, die Wartezeit lohnt sich! Wir waren zweimal dort und haben sie beide Male bestellt. :)

    The noodles were tasty and came in a big portion. I also liked the avocado bread with cheese. My friend had a burger and really enjoyed it. The service was quick and friendly. I recommend this place for anyone looking for vegan options.

    Heel lekker! We zijn geen veganisten, maar ik zou dit elke dag kunnen eten. Grote fan van de Shawarma en de Falafel.

    The vegan dishes are very tasty. We tried a falafel wrap and a tofu wrap, and they were both delicious. The setting is also beautiful and inviting. Highly recommended.
