Really enjoyed this place. Trying to find a place like it for years. My first taste of Georgian food in the US, and it didn't disappoint! I got to try the Adjaruli khachapuri, Adjaruli ayran, khinkali, and matsoni yogurt, as dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and very fairly priced, in my opinion. The khachapuri was a Georgian classic, and recommended by the staff. They mixed it right in front of me! Very cheesy, very evenly distributed surprisingly. The edges are buttery and still crispy, my favorite part! You can dip them in the middle as well. Very very good. The khinkali were equally delicious. 4 juicy dumplings with a top that makes them perfect for flipping, drinking the juice, and then eating the whole thing. Staff gave directions on the process! It's still messy, but well worth it. The filling and the soup are so flavorful and tender, just perfect. Earlier, I went to another NYC restaurant to try ayran, and discovered I was obsessed with it, so I ordered it here too. It's supposed to be their Georgian take on it. Not sure how authentic it is, but it was still pretty tasty. I do think I preferred the other place more, but the presentation on this one (came in a clay container, foamy at the top) was great. Finally, I ended the meal with some delicious yogurt as a dessert: Matsoni. Absolutely loved it. Very creamy, slights undertones of sweetness. They added honey and almonds as well. Just perfect. Highly recommend it!

Grilled meat, bread, and cheese. What more can you ask for. Meal here was great! Got the Chicken Mtsvadi which was super tender and had a nice sauce on the side. Got the Chvishtari on the side as well which was like a cheese stuffed cornbread. Had a stellar crisp on the outside and so much cheese inside it was awesome. Finally a nice Georgian beer called Kazbegi which was delightful.

I had no idea what Georgian food entailed and so had really no expectations coming in, but I was absolutely amazed! Everything was delicious and had amazing flavors and was so perfectly filling. The pkhali was our absolute favorite, an appetizer dish with so many interesting flavors and we could not get enough! We got the adjaruli aragvi khachapuri which was also really good, a little more on the cheesy side but I loved it! We also got the khinkali with mushrooms, really good and also couldn't get enough of it. Service was great and our server helped us out with vegetarian options! The vibe inside is classy upscale but still gives a fun vibe. Definitely recommend checking out this place especially if you are skeptical!

What a cute and cozy spot! Never had Georgian food before, so I was excited to try it out. My group of 4 shared: - Chef's Khinkali: basically giant and thick soup dumplings! You hold it using the dough stem, which was pretty cool. - Adjaruli: you can't go wrong with this as a cheese lover. I definitely could've eaten one by myself. - Royal Chalahach (lamb chops): loved the pistachio sauce on this. Lamb was cooked perfectly - Lucky Duck: super tender and on the sweeter side. The group really enjoyed this - Honey Cake (dessert): Huge hit with the group as well, perfect dessert to end the night. I loved the food and definitely want to come back to try more of their menu. Our server was really nice, all her recommendations were spot on. In total with a few drinks came out to $240ish.

I really love Georgian food, the kind you won't find in Atlanta. This was quite a spacious restaurant with a good sized menu. Only regret is that I couldn't eat more dishes during my visit! Chef's Khinkali: These are like massive thick skinned soup dumplings. I've had these before at other places, but this was the first time I received instructions on how to eat them. After it cools a little, you can grab them by the dough stem and bite off a little dough on the side then suck out juice. It kinda looks funny and feels like a post-date activity, but it's so tasty! Love all the meaty lamb and lamb juices. And somehow just black pepper is enough, not needing soy sauce or vinegar. Adjaruli: This is exactly what I think of when I think of Georgia cuisine. As a cheese lover, this is right up my alley. It's kinda like fondue, if the fondue pot were made of bread. Love breaking off side pieces of the bread and dipping it in. Such a nice tangy cheese. Lamb Lula: It's a bit like a deconstructed wrapped. Reminds me of an adana kebab. Love the pickled cabbage and sauce for all sorts of nice flavoring. Georgian Tea: Sweet and herbal. The perfect way to extend a meal with friends for more conversation.

So far I only been to one other Georgian restaurant, so when I saw a Georgian spot on GrubHub I had to check it out. When I went to pick up my food, I saw it's a cute little place. But, I didn't get to take photos of the interior, since I was only there briefly. I thought their dinner deal was reasonably priced. We got a good amount of food and ordered a boat bread separately (how could you not get a boat bread at a Georgian spot?) What we ordered: Lamb Lula Dinner Platter Rice Borscht Soup Chef's khinkali (Lamb and Beef) - Georgian dumplings Adjaruli with mushrooms Not sure if I would do take out there again. I think it was meant to be more of a dine in spot than take out.

Nice ambiance and good service until they got busy then the service was not good. The dips platter was overpriced but I liked the flavor. The bread was cold I wish it was warm. The beef and lamb dumplings were super good. Wish there was more soup. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Overall would recommend for groups and if you need somwhere to dine without having a reservation.

Came here around 6pm on a Thursday night and was able to get a seat immediately. Our waiter came around immediately to ask which type of water we preferred and gave us ample time to decide what we wanted to order without rushing us. He was also very patient in explaining to us what each dish was so we'd be able to make our decisions more swiftly. Started off with a light salad which has a good balance of all your classic salad ingredients with a light vinegar dressing. Can't really go wrong with that one ! We also ordered the Classic Khachapuri (cheese boat) and it's one of the most amazing things I've tried. It's got a crispy base to hold the cheese in so when you take a bite, you're getting the perfect amount of cheese and bread! Best part is, your server will show you how the cheese is suppose to be melted and folding - talk about a good pull! Also got the lamb skewers which is soo juicy and meaty. I'm not a huge lamb person at all but I enjoyed this a lot ! Not gamey at all (which is honestly my biggest concern when it comes to lamb.) Finished off with the honey cake which is a must!! I've had my fair share of honey cakes but this one tops them all for how moist it is and has the right balance of sweet and savoury. The drizzle of I think pistachio was a great touch. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something new and not be disappointed. Great vibes for date night, work catch up or just a reunion with friends and family. You'll get good food and great service!!

Delicious food, excellent service, beautiful decor! My two sons and I visited Aragvi restaurant for an early dinner on Dec 29, 2024. All ordered food was delicious and perfect. Service was very friendly, attentive, and overall flawless. Very importantly the dishes were served with right timing, not all at the same time. Restaurant has a beautifully designed decor and a warm atmosphere. We also liked personal electronic menus that looked like a menu book and had an easy navigation. It was so much better than scanning a QR code and figuring out the menu on a phone screen. Thanks! We had a great time and we highly recommend Aragvi as a stylish restaurant with delicious Georgian cuisine. It fully deserves the super high rating it has! Food ordered Baje - in addition to a perfect base and texture it had a nice distinct spices combo and a generous amount of chicken. Khachapuri Megruli - excellent. Royal Khachapuri (Adjaruli with cheese khinkali on top) - this was absolutely delicious!!! Never tried such a thing. The cheese khinkali on top were amazing! And the actual Adjaruli was also perfect! Chef's Adjaruli (with ground beef) - this was tasty but more like a pie than an a usual Adjaruli. Well, it was not supposed be a usual Adjaruli :) Chef's Khinkali (lamb and beef) - fresh, flavorful, with thin soft dough outside and plenty of delicious broth inside! It was so good that after eating first piece we immediately ordered more :)

I was seriously taken with this establishment. Walking distance from my office, so we did our team luncheon there. My goodness- stellar selection of Georgian dishes and WINES! The place is beautiful- very striking upon entering. We were pleasantly surprised when we first walked through the door. Full bar, and quite spacious for its location. Bright, lighted interior brings up the fun. Since it was a colleague's first time trying Georgian food, we went with a variety of apps and 1 entree, all shared family style. If you're familiar with Georgian food, you'll notice this is a slightly modern take on traditional, celebrated dishes. (The khinkali are huge! Had fun eating mine like giant lollipops ) Our server, Néneé (spelling?) was so sweet. Very knowledgeable about all the various wines. And food, of course :) Good for groups and I think they mentioned they have space in the back for private events/large groups.

I went to this Georgian place a good while ago. The place is quite big and the food is a bit better than some of the other fancier spots like the more well known Old Tbilisi Garden and Chito Gvrito and a lot better than the popular Chama Mama. The staff was fine. To drink, I had as usual for a Georgian spot, Qveri, a type of traditional Georgian wine. I am unsure which one I got but from the menu description and vague memory it was likely the Vine Ponto Mtsvane which was tasty. The food here is a bit pricey but the portion sizes were big and the food is rich and filling so it was more worth it at that price point and besides the location means that it's going to be a bit more expensive. I started with the Chef's Khinkali for $18 or so which are a filled dumplings with a combination of ground lamb, beef, cilantro, basil, mint, and chopped onion. There's also a few more options such as mushrooms and some other things which is a bit more than the usual Georgian spot. If you haven't had khinkali before, the closest thing I can think of are soup dumplings/XLB but it's more herbal by comparison and the dumpling texture is a good amount thicker. These were pretty good with tender tasty meat and a bit of soup. I mostly compare these dumplings to the excellent ones at Cafedelia and these compare pretty well with a few more options. For my main dish, I went with the Pork Ojakhuri for around $20 which had pieces of pork, potato, onion, and Georgian seasoning which was pretty good. The meat was tender though there wasn't enough for the price point. The potatoes had good flavor from being cooked down and the dish came with tkemali on the side, a sour green plum sauce which helped with the richness. Along with my food, I remember otherwise someone else having a salad and I don't think there were other smaller plates though notably someone else did get a Puri (or rather Shotis puri,) a type of bread which is $3 here. Also listed as shoti in other restaurants, this is a thick bread and goes well with their stews with one person ordering the Chashushuli and another getting another stew which had a pot pie like topping. I tried each of the stews and they were solid and more flavored than my main and would recommend them. One person also of course ordered a khachapuri which in this case was the Chef's Adjaruli. This open-faced variety had ground beef, cheese, onion, and authentic Georgian spices for around $22 (the regular version is cheaper.) It was a bit smaller than others places being slightly bigger than the one at Chito Gvrito and it was fine. I would have preferred trying the more traditional variant but the flavor was decent. My dessert was the Honey Cake, a traditional layer cake with honey and almond for $15. This was worse than the one at CafeDelia being a bit drier and less rich. The presentation was nice though and it's more that the other place has an outstanding version then this place having a bad one as it's better here then at some of the other fancier spots. Someone else had the baklava (with walnuts, raisins, and honey) for the same price which I had a bit of which was drier by comparison to the Greek version but less sweet as expected which was preferential. I would probably go back here again and stick with the smaller plates or potentially try one of their mtsvadi/shish kabobs as a main dish. The food here is reasonable for the quality and better than some of the other fancier spots though in general, I still prefer CafeDelia the most with this being up there and being certainly better than the three most popular ones. Mid/low 4.

Shalva was our waiter and Saba were very nice and helpful. Shalva explained the menu items and recommended good dishes. Beautiful ambience and very friendly staff who are helpful and explain to you what the dishes are and recommendations if you want, the iPad tablet menu was extremely helpful and paperless, but don't take it outside because it will make a noise. Cheese bread with smoked cheese on top of the cheese filled inside. The bread was amazing, but it was a lot, and it was quickly filling up our stomach stomachs. It was hard to eat a main dish while eating the bread, but it was tasty and very cheesy. Gender, neutral bathrooms, but also gender specific bathrooms.. and a nice addition was they use a very thick comfortable toilet paper which is surprising for a restaurant it was not too loud but loud enough so that you can still have a conversation, but also enjoy the music and other people talking. I would say every piece of the restaurant as a picture worthy angle.
