Aromatic spices and the scent of roasting meat fills the air as you step into Beirut Pasha, an authentic Lebanese restaurant in Tbilisi. Hidden between the crumbling art nouveau architecture of Ivane Machabeli Street and opposite the Writers’ House of Georgia, this restaurant may be not special to look at, but its food makes it worth a visit.

The friendly staff at Beirut Pasha cook up a variety of traditional Lebanese dishes, from tasty shish kofta sandwiches, to tabbouleh and fattoush salads, grape leaves and mixed grills. All of their food is halal. Known for surprising their guests with a red fez hat, don’t be surprised if you find yourself posing in your new accessory by the end of the evening. For those who are looking for a change from khachapuri and khinkali and who want to try something different, Beirut Pasha is an unassuming Lebanese restaurant with delicious food.
