Amazing hidden local jam. Super cheap but insanely authentic. Georgian salad with secret herbs is not something you can find anywhere else. compote made from fresh cherries, bread with goat cheese and insanely good cheeses paired with Saperavi - wine that is lighter than Chianti. Just go there. Best Georgian food in NYC, and I have been in all of them.

I am new to Georgian food in the USA in a sit down restaurant so this was my first time and it has a Michelin mention so I thought it was a good time to try it. I had no instructions. Menu was difficult to understand. I felt bad asking about every item but I asked about most. I like to know what I'm eating. Must try khinkali but it has a set of rules which I learned on my own by watching locals after my mess. You should take them from a plate with your hands, grab the dumpling by the top (called kudi), turn it around and sprinkle it with pepper. Then you carefully take a tiny bite into it, create a hole and suck the juice and only then start eating. The upper part is not for eating - they are discarded to the edge of the plate. I grabbed mine cut it in half got the juice all over and messed it up. No one told me it was a soup dumpling! Nothing like the Asian ones. This one is much larger and has a very delicious broth inside along with a meatball of two meats blended and green pepper. The Hot borscht was chunky, and was delicious once I added the sour cream. Without the sour cream it is a vegan soup. My last favorite was the eggplant rolls. They are served cold and are also vegan. They are filled with a walnut spread and topped with a few pomegranate seeds. Served with bread. I do not recommend the kebab. Too overcooked for me and they do not serve them medium. A few other things. They add a 10 percent service fee and a 3 percent credit card fee. The loss of a star was not due to the food but due to someone smoking in the kitchen and we were seated right near the kitchen and I enjoy my eating experience by smelling my food. I do not want to smell whatever you're smoking. It made me feel sick.

Excellent service , clean place, food tasted great , no steps to come in restaurant, Family friendly

Good food and service. Better than other Georgian food I've tried. Recommend the pear soda.

This place was the first time I got to try Georgian cuisine and I think I had a very great introductory experience. This little Brooklyn gem's interior is homely and cozy and so was the meal, a perfect way to describe Georgian cuisine. Hearty, warm, pleasant dishes that make you feel like you're eating a family dinner made by your Eastern European grandma in a cottage. We got the cheese bread, nothing crazy, basically another rendition of pizza, and the lamb soup to start, which I enjoyed quite well as it is a light broth base with warm spices and very nostalgic of Vietnamese chicken broth, only they used lamb to have a slightly gamier taste. For our mains, we opted for the waiter's recommendations for introductory Georgian dishes - homemade pork sausages, pan fried chicken with garlic butter sauce, and beef and pork soup dumplings. All the meat dishes were very comforting, filling, and not too heavy, but I personally liked the sausages the most, the soup dumplings next, and found the chicken a little too salty (but definitely juicy). These dishes didn't blow my mind but really do remind me of homely cooking - the preparation of these meats doesn't use excess ingredients to make you feel terrible. You feel good and fulfilled afterwards in a non bloated way. Finally, kudos to this place because I will be giving this a 5* on Yelp due to great hospitality, service, and $20 wine bottles. Yes, I'm not fucking kidding. $20 wine bottles. Don't walk, run here.

We personally think that this is one of the best restaurants with Georgian food in U.S.! Everything is very tasty, service is amazing We definitely will be back ! I recommend everyone to try their food.

My group and I came here for dinner after deciding, new year, new cuisine. We came on a Friday night and it was pretty busy, as there was a party of 10 in one corner. The restaurant is quite warm and cozy, good for a small party. There's only 1 restroom but that wasn't an issue. Anyway, food! We really wanted to order Khachapuri with the poached egg, however, they do not have it here, rather they have a flat soft bread with cheese in the middle...which we did order. It was enough to not feel too heavy, but if you wanted more cheese, they do have one with double the cheese. We also ordered the khinkali, or the dumplings. They were more the size of a bun than a dumpling. The top of the dumpling was quite thick, so it was a bit hard to eat, otherwise, the filling was pretty good. We also had an eggplant appetizer with walnut pate. It wasn't for me, as there was a heavy oil aftertaste. Next we ordered the pork sausage. My friends said it was their favorite. I have a neutral opinion on it, but it wasn't bad. It was perhaps slightly too smokey for me. We also ordered their mushroom appetizer, which reminded me of escargot, heavy garlicky butter smell and taste. Lastly, we ordered the chicken in garlic sauce. The garlic sauce was a bit runny, I kinda wished it was thicker or if there was slightly less sauce. However, the sauce was good with the bread they provided, as it tasted just like toasted garlic bread. I have to say, this cuisine isn't fit for everyone's taste, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try. They do have a 10% service charge already added to the bill, plus a 3.5% charge for paying with credit card and still need to pay tip on top. Just something to look out for.

I absolutely love the Turkish coffee here, perfect for my taste palate. The food is delicious and excellent service! Great place for dinner, totally recommend it!
