    A warm local Georgian place which is owned by a super friendly and easy going owner with a simple but cute decor. The service is also great with the owner happy to recommend the dishes. I wanted to tick off the traditional Georgian dish, Adjaruli Khachapuri. It's basically a bread boat filled with cheese and raw egg yolk. It's a baked dish and is best eaten when hot. One needs to mix the raw egg yolk properly within the cheese and then devour it. The bread was easy to break with crisp sides while the cheese was really creamy and smooth. It basically felt like a better version of NYC cheese pizza minus the marinara, and I would happily choose this one over pizza! The dish is simple, filling and soul satisfying which made me love it. The prices too are pretty decent compared to the neighborhood they are located in. Overall an amazing experience with Georgian food, would definitely come back to try their Khinkali (dumplings) next time!

    Mushroom pie
    Suri M.

    Georgian food! Yum. They even have tarkhun. You can order whatever they have ready or wait a few minutes for freshly baked food. The mushroom and spinach pastries are spectacular, and they have spinach and eggplant spreads. I will definitely be back to try all of the vegetarian menu items. There's quite a bit of counter seating or you can take things to go. Don't forget to get a grape nut sweet :)

    Vegan Spinach Pie.

    easy grab and go place as there's not that much seating inside. The workers were very kind. bright and open atmosphere. I got the vegan spinach pie for six dollars and it was very tasty, loved the crust surrounding it. it was warmed up for me and the crust was still crunchy which was a +1 for me. kinda got sick of eating the spinach filling the more i ate it but still good overall!!

    Leave it to a city like New York City to help make Georgian food accessible. Cities have sit-down Georgian restaurants, but this spot is more fast-casual. It's a tiny spot with friendly service. Pictures of the dishes decorate the walls, but a server is more than welcome to recommend items. My wife and I split a khachapuri, warm flat bread from the oven with cheese, butter and egg. Mix it together for cheesy goodness. It was delicious! There are tables inside or you can get your order to go.

    Spinach & Beets with Walnuts Salad

    Whenever I visit the city, I always eat in my tried-and-tested places, as well as try something new. For this trip, I finally managed to stop by this little Georgian cafe and taste their dishes. I wasn't disappointed. We sampled their famous cheese pizza and left wanting for more. It was as good as it looked. To be healthy, we also ordered the spinach and beet walnut salad; those little balls were delicious. Too bad I don't live in the city anymore coz this place offers delectable goodies at affordable prices. No complaints on the service. I think they even give discounts to NYU students and staff if I recall correctly.

    Beef stew
    Joseline C.

    great hospitality - the worker was so friendly and accommodating. She explained everything on the menu to me :') great food - I got the beef stew for myself but I def want to come back for the other pastries. The side of bread was probably my favorite bc it was HOT, perfectly salted, crunchy outside & soft inside. Divine smell. Nice ambiance - nice chill setting and v clean. Was skeptical to try something new but I 100% recommend

    Penovani Lobiani
    Madeleine B.

    Casual Georgian food near me, finally. This place is pretty great in terms of quality and price. I've tried: Penovani lobiani (bean pie): 4/5 Spinach cheese pie: 5/5 Chakhokhbili chicken stew: 5/5 Cheesy corn bread with spinach salad: 3.5/5 Honey cake: 5/5. Cheesy corn bread was kind of a letdown, it was not as soft and buttery as Oda House. Maybe that's just because in comparison everything else is so good. Also, sometimes you're served the food already cut into little kid-size bits which is annoying... I can cut my own food. But I mean, I'm still going to try the entire menu.

    Desserts and cold apps at the counter

    After knowing that it was my first visit, the girl who took my order patiently walked me through the main options and explained what the items were like. I ended up getting the eggplant walnut rolls and the dips, which came in a set of two of the same flavor, but she kindly offered to mix one spinach and one beet dip for me! The eggplant walnut rolls were really good, though rather oily, and the dips were good as well - subtle and natural flavors, not overly processed. I actually liked the beet one more though I'm not a fan of beets! I also got to try the mushroom pie, which was SO good. The pastry part was perfectly doughy and flaky, filled with generous amount of sautéed mushrooms. I really appreciated that everything tasted natural and subtle. It's a small storefront but spacious and very clean. Their customer service is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!

    Khinkali
    Vicki C.

    The guy at @cafedelianyc quickly persuaded me into ordering these Georgian dumplings, and he was right! They were delicious! Loved the fillings with meat, herbs, and spices. They were filled with hot broth as well!

    Spinach pie.

    Short review: Fantastic cheap Georgian food with very nice staff. Would recommend their khachapuri, pkhali/spinach dip, and honey cake and I plan on going back to try a lot more of their dishes (khinkali/soup dumplings and their stews in particular.) I walked here with another after seeing the glowing reviews and everything listed is accurate and more. I'm quite familiar with Georgian food and this is easily some of the best in the city at a lower price point than most Georgian places outside of a few hole in the wall bakeries in Brooklyn. The staff here is super nice and accommodating (almost a bit too much so with one of the guys (I believe the owner) giving away things to us and others) and they also explain the menu patiently for those unfamiliar. Before ordering, they had samples of some of their desserts. Churchkhela/grape and walnut "candle:" The version here was a lot softer than others probably as it was fresher. Unique texture and tasty Qada/Kada cake: A good buttery/sugary cake. Good version of it also. They also had a sample of their cigarette cake (which also has walnuts and raisins among other things) which the other person enjoyed. We decided to order a bunch of different appetizers. Along with the rest of the menu, they had a special mushroom pie of the day which we ordered along with a few other things while waiting for their khachapuri. Spreads: Pkhali/vegetable spreads with walnuts: The very accommodating staff allowed us to get one each of their spinach and beet spreads. As per usual, I preferred the spinach version which is excellent here but both were fantastic. Badridzhani Nigvsit/Eggplant with walnut sauce: Also well made. Better texture than the other places around there. Chvishtari/corn bread with cheese: They gave us each one for free which was very nice of them. It's not my favorite thing but they make quite a good version here. Pies: Mushroom pie: Don't know the Georgian word for it. This was a special. The mushrooms had some wonderful roasted flavors. Would recommend they add it to the menu. Mkhlovani/Spinach pie: Good version. Good texture though I preferred the mushroom version Adjaruli Khachapuri/bread boat with cheese/egg/butter: This comes out with an egg yolk in the middle. You put the butter in and then mix everything together. Excellent version; especially for the price. It's probably the most famous Georgian dish and for good reason. Very cheesy and rich and you could make a meal out of it alone. We decided to get dessert to go and the man again gave us two of their offerings for free. She wanted the chocolate cream cake while I got the honey cake and we cut a small part of each. The former was quite good being moist and better than expected (but then again everything was good here so I don't know why I expected different.) The honey cake here is fantastic. Very moist and not overly sweet and the best version in Manhattan by a mile. Their drink selection is what you find in other Georgian spots and the prices are similarly pretty cheap. Good lemonades (get the pear one) and borjomi along with some other things I didn't recognize. This small place is yet another good restaurant on 8th. Very nice staff and the food is both affordable and delicious. Great place to introduce people to Georgian food and highly recommended. Everything was either good or fantastic. Will go back (presumably multiple times) to sample the rest of the menu. Upper 4.

    Spinach & Beet salad
    Wendy B.

    The Spinach & Beet salad felt more like a dip or spread, YUM! Sliced Eggplant wrap walnut thingy was tasty too. Tried the Grape dessert it was really interesting! My first time, it's grape juice mix with flour, then harden somehow becomes line gummy sorta. Very interesting texture in a good way. Staff was super friendly.

    Cheese pie and meat pie
    William W.

    What makes Cafedelia is the service. Jeez. Warmer than the complementary tea I was served. The staff will explain all the menu options if you've never had Georgian food before and (for now) offer samplings of the various desserts. Fantastic place to stop by for a quick meal (though some items require an extra wait as they're prepared fresh). Do it! Lemon ginger tea Cheesy pastry flakes in mouth Satisfied again

    megruli khachapuri, this is 1/4 of the small pie, $9
    Michelle T.

    I've been wanting to try Georgian food for awhile and then I stumbled on this new opening on East 8th, between Broadway/University. I was warmly greeted by a woman who asked me if she could explain the menu to me... I was happy to listen to each delicious item she described before deciding on one of the cheese pies (megruli khachapuri, dough with melted cheese filling, plus extra cheese nicely browned on top) and the chvishtari (cornbread and cheese stuffed in dough, which they usually serve with their salads). The cheese pie looks like a personal deep dish pizza but tastes very different. You have no idea where the pillowy dough ends and the cheese begins. A small casual spot with the most gracious and welcoming service. They also offer complimentary coffee or tea with your order. Khachapuri $8-10 small, $16-18 large, depending on the type you order. I got a small and easily had more than half leftover for the next day. While I was delighted with my all-carb meal, they also have soups, salads and desserts. I will be back!

Reservations open 2 weeks in advance around 10am and they go super fest so I recommend you try for the day you need as for me I could only have gotten brunch on a Sunday. Those people spam the crap out of their buttons for the dinner spots and when I went I can see why. The place is brimming with old school New York charm and it's completely overwhelmingly beautiful and has an old jazzy vibe to it. It's large and spacious and they sat us in the middle of the entire restaurant. (I had a group of 6) The vibe was so good you don't really want to leave and they also don't really kick you out. I think we were the last ones to exit for brunch but they were so nice they didn't kick us out. Their espresso martinis are ok. It wasn't as amazing as a regular cocktail bar but it is just ok. We started off with a shrimp cocktail, smoked whitefish Caesar salad and the two plates of truffle monkey bread which was soooo good. I really enjoyed this as it's the main reason we came here. It's almost like a honey dinner roll with truffle. We got everything next which some people got their own and some shared. Some people got their own American breakfast platter which was some overdone eggs and a meat with gigantic toast and if you only order scrambled eggs it comes in a bowl but I would much rather order their classics like steak sandwich and the spicy shrimp was pretty good! Fries are top tier! I can see why people just come here for dinner. I would give it mostly 5 stars for the overall ambiance and environment and a few classics. I think their old fashioned is better than their espresso martinis though even though it looks so good in this type of setting! It's hard to get a reservation though so next time I'll need to try some new things if I score another!

Decor/actual restaurant: This particular location is very small and tight with limited in-store seating. The interior is cute, I like the blue color theme they have here. For a restaurant designed for to-go orders, I believe that there could be more waiting room and a couple less chairs. Service: Like many "fast food adjacent" restaurants, the people who work there have good customer service but I imagine deal with the worst. I know they're doing great with the situation they're in. Kudos to them. Food: this is probably my harshest critique. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and it was fine. I don't believe it was worth the $16 I spent though. The chicken was kind of bland, tasted similarly to frozen grilled chicken pieces you buy from a grocery store. I do wish there was more sauce. The pesto tasted good but overall there was too much bread. I fear you would be better off making something like this at home for a comparable price. The bread was good, just too much. I don't want to base the menu on this sandwich alone, a lot of the menu options sounded delicious, but this was just the experience I had!
