Tiflisi: A Taste of Georgia in the Heart of Toronto’s Beaches
Tucked away in the charming Beaches neighborhood, Tiflisi is a family-run Georgian gem that has quickly become a beloved spot for those seeking an authentic taste of the Caucasus.

This iconic Georgian dish is a true comfort food masterpiece.
