Elvis Restaurant

Hello friends, hope you are all doing well. Today I want to share with you all an important place in Tbilisi. This is not a place that you should visit to learn history or place that is filled with natural beauty to attract you but this is a place with some perfect food that will attract you with its aroma and taste. Yeah I'm here to share with you a perfect American diner located in the heart of the city called as Elvis. The restaurant is named after the famous American pop singer Elvis who was called as "The King". This restaurant has some awesome menu each with its own unique taste which I will share with you in detail here.

The restaurant is located in the centre of the town a stop before the Rustaveli metro station. It is easy to reach the restaurant bu city bus than by metro train. Buses with a number 150, 6, 88, 9 etc will take you to the bus station that is located right in front of Elvis. The building where the restaurant is located is also the famous Tbilisi Concert Hall where some popular Georgian concerts take place. There are also many mashruthka's or minivans and taxis available to reach the restaurant. If you are travelling by metro then you should get down at the Rustaveli station and walk in the reverse direction till you find this big building named Tbilisi Concert Hall. The first floor of the building and a part of the second floor contains this restaurant. In front of the restaurant you can see a big underpass and two statues with a fountain. The fountain works during the summer months with water flowing up from the ground. This is actually a pleasant look to see from the inside of the restaurant. Once inside you can find two seperate sections. One is for the hot food and the other one is for ice creams and other deserts. There is a model of Elvis sitting in a chair with a guitar in his hand inside the restaurnat similar to the Mac Donald's model. Near the entrance there is also a stair case that will take you to the second floor. The second floor is a little dark and illuminated by lights. This hall is a little elegant where you can mostly see families sitting in each table. It is entirely upto you to choose whether to sit up or down.
