TL;DR
Sachashnike is praised as the best spot for shashlik and Georgian dishes, while Sakhli stands out for mussels, khinkali, and steak in a charming old building.
Sachashnike restaurant came out on top after trying 15 different places in Batumi — best shashlik and overall Georgian cuisine. A clear local favourite.
Sakhli restaurant is a charming spot in an old building with seating inside, on a balcony, and under trees. Menu available in Russian. Highlights include multiple mussel dishes, mussel khinkali, and excellent steak. Service is well-regarded.
Adjarian khachapuri is the signature dish of the region and a must-try in Batumi. Locals suggest seeking it out at traditional Georgian cafes rather than tourist-facing spots on the seafront.
