Where to Order Home-Cooked Food in Tbilisi
Tired of restaurant food, but no energy or time to cook every day? We get it. Sometimes you just want something simple — a plate of real home-cooked food: made from fresh ingredients, with care and without rush, the way it's done at grandma's. The good news: in Tbilisi you don't have to cook it yourself. You can order it straight from home cooks. Here's how it works and where to look.
Why home-cooked food, not a restaurant or canteen
Home food has something the food-service industry can't give you. A real person cooks it, not a kitchen conveyor — so the taste is "like home," not averaged-out. The ingredients are usually fresher and more natural: a cook shops for their family and for your order, not to freeze in bulk. It's often cheaper than a restaurant and more filling than a canteen. And most of all — variety: every cook has their own signature dishes you won't find anywhere else. Tired of identical business lunches — home cooking gives food its character back.
Ulupa — a marketplace of Tbilisi's home cooks
Ulupa connects you directly with the city's home cooks, confectioners and farmers. You go to ulupa.ge or open the app, open the Catalog, pick a dish or a specific cook — and place your order. There are no extra middlemen between you and whoever cooks: you see the cook, their menu, photos and reviews, and you order from them.
How to order — in 4 steps
- Open the catalog. Browse dishes and cooks, filter by category, taste and allergens, find cooks near you — your city is detected automatically.
- Build your cart and pick a date. Cooks prepare for a specific day, so orders are planned ahead — it doesn't get fresher.
- Choose delivery. A courier brings it, or you pick it up from the cook — whichever suits you.
- Pay online. By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Done — your fresh home-cooked food is on the way.
What you can order
From everyday to festive. The classics — khinkali and khachapuri, lobio, kharcho, ojakhuri, fresh salads. In autumn come the seasonal flavors of rtveli: pelamushi, churchkhela, badagi. Setting a table for guests — you put together a whole supra without stepping up to the stove. Love something unusual — cooks make signature dishes too, like colorful "kesane" khinkali where every color has its own taste. All of it — made by hand by a real person.
How we keep quality in check
Safety comes first for us. We verify every cook's documents, each cook uploads photos of their kitchen, and you see reviews and ratings from other customers. These simple things make it easy to form a clear picture and order with confidence. And after your order, don't forget to leave a review — that's how good cooks become more visible.
Fair price
The price in the catalog is final: no hidden fees added on top for the buyer. Whatever the cook set is what you pay. Payment is online and secure.
