    Georgian pizza
    Lavinia P.

    Nice cozy place, I liked the tables with the couch. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend and will go again.

    Chinahi( meat in broth/ sauce with veggie)

    The food was phenomenal!!!!!!! I am sorry they don't have reviews on yelp, by reading i was expecting - so so food-but it was so much better I had chanahi ( meat in clay pot in sauce), ostriy- beef in red sauce, we had chicken dish with garlic-& salad with dressing with nuts/ every dish was excellent- fragrant - fresh- bold with flavors, sadly ( understandably) restaurant industry struggles with ingredients, labor, cost.... service was - less then ok-( i don't think he have experience, but hey-happy someone bringing the food)- its why i hold 1 star back-; alcohol was -2 options for beer( only on top( no bottles));2- red wines- Georgian( i do like them)- its-hidden jewel- i have to go back!!!!( & i don't say often that - even before Covid)-

    Chachapuri -- awesome salmaguni cheese experience
    Yuri Y.

    Georgia on my mind? Well yes Ray -- with a twist. This is not the land of Jimmy Carter -- but it is that peanut farmer president's 40 year old immigration policies who these Georgians of the Caucuses have to thank -- for a soft Brighton Beach landing and a sturdy foothold for their very authentic Tbilisi-style restaurant. Brighton is, after all, the land of milk and honey for expat Soviets and their gold coast in NYC -- and a more recent influx from central asia and the Caucuses has written yet another chapter into a centuries old melting-pot food history of Brooklyn. As a well traveled expat, sweetie knows Georgian food from her visits there -- when Russia was still a "Union" -- and she was skeptical about the authenticity of everything we ate -- but I am impressed by the contemporary Georgian food culture at GH, it's service and the overall ambiance. For starters -- the room itself is warm -- as in earth-tones with wood everywhere -- which makes it very appealing on the cold and blustery day when we visited. This is also true about the wait staff -- two sturdy young gents who happily answered all of my questions about the variety of food we ate -- and the Georgian wine that we drank with it (Mariani btw - make sure the SKU starts with "86" to be sure its authentic -- said our server). The dry white was crisp but perhaps too dry and lacking in depth and fruit for my tastes. Just about everything in Georgian cuisine relies on ground walnuts, pomegranate and a spice mix known as "khmeli suneli" -- the last being an intoxicating mix of coriander, dill, basil, bay leaf, marjoram, blue fenugreek, parsley, safflower or saffron, black pepper, celery, thyme, hyssop, mint, and hot pepper. This is the Georgian version of Indian curry or garam masala and it made the lamb dishes we ate exotic and redolent with bright flavors. The Georgian salad starter was infused with this spicing and walnuts which turned simply sliced cucumbers, red onions and tomatoes into a home run of flavors and textures. Get this. The Phali is another winning first -- showcasing several versions of ground and spiced walnuts with additions -- like spinach in one, eggplant in another and a third wrapped in steamed cabbage. The shoti served with -- a traditional crusty bread delivered steaming hot -- is just the best vehicle for eating the various walnut spreads and the tastiest bread I've eaten in ages -- so good we took the leftovers home with us. The Chachapuri was decent -- this is basically a tomato-less cheese pizza -- but with Salaguni cheese -- a salty and tart version of mozzarella -- not as stringy and very creamy. Nice. Less to our liking was the Khinkali -- the Georgian take on xiao long bao -- which here is made with beef and pork (Tbilisi style) but which we've had elsewhere with only ground lamb as a filling -- which I prefer. The dough used for these dumplings was thick and rubbery -- and while the filling was decent and spiced authentically -- the overall experience was underwhelming. Somewhat better was the Chanakhi -- a traditional lamb stew with potatoes, tomato's and eggplant -- braised until all the flavors and spicing come together. Very satisfying -- if a bit skimpy on the lamb -- and heavy on the rendered fat -- but great for mopping with the gratis bread. The lulya kebab (Georgian adana) comes wrapped in lavash and is pretty standard Georgian fare -- the filling is well seasoned ground lamb served with roasted potato wedges along with house made satsebeli (tomato) and tkemali (green plum) sauces -- 2 traditional sauces served with this meal. We also ate an excellent chicken kebab that was perfectly moist -- well seasoned with Georgian spices and charred just right. On the food alone -- GH is a 3.5 for me -- I round up to 4 based on the vibe and service. This is not your average mediterranean food and you should not confuse the two -- it is much more sophisticated in flavoring and spicing -- unique really. GH also offers live music on weekends and caters to a mostly local Russian/Georgian crowd said our server -- serving until 3:30 am. If you are up for a cultural immersion foray in Brooklyn -- this is one place to consider. Top Tip: GH was empty for our early dinner -- but I so want to hang out here and drink Georgian wine into the wee hours -- with Georgian music blasting in my ear. I can tell these folks know how to party and with that in mind -- we will be back. tbc

    Fantastic !! We started with Khachapuri, a delishious I must say " white pizza " type dish. Oozy, just amazing. Then we had Kuoati, a sausage on a bed of basic French fries and red onion. Khinkali, my favorite fried dumplings, resembling soup dumplings. And finally Chicken Tabaka, a Cornish hen cut up and dry grilled with an amazing spice. A great meal with good friends, some vodka and wine !!

On an unusually warm day in March, they set up the classy outdoor seating. I asked the server for recommendations - the menu is great for sharing and trying lots of different dishes, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with too many calories. She was a gem and suggested: Eggplant Pkhali - I really love this vegan dip of eggplant, walnuts, roasted onion, garlic, coriander, pomegranate molasses, cilantro and pomegranate. It comes with fresh bread, that is crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. It's perfection, refreshing, toothsome, and vegan! Khinkali - beef and pork soup dumplings were well folded, savory, and soupy on the inside. Red currant mocktails - pretty and refreshing! They also have an extensive wine, beer, and cocktail menu. I have also been here for lunch and had a number of other dips and salads and loved what I got. Chama Mama is great for a date or friends. I believe they will rent out the full restaurant for events. The vibe feels upscale yet simple, and everything is delicious. Prices are in the teens for appetizers and $30+ per entree. Recommend.

Beet salad was a hit served with big chunks of tender beets. I'm not sure if they boiled and chilled the beets or used another technique to soften them up, but it came out nicely. This time we opted for the khachapuri imeruli. It was delicious. I've yet to come across a khachapuri that I've disliked. Dough was crispy and flakey. Cheese was melty and gooey. Always such a cozy delight. We had the khinkali again - this time with cheese filling. It's a nice vegetarian friendly option, but I prefer the meat or vegetable blend fillings. Cheese in the khinkali was similar to the khachapuri, so it was redundant to order the two together. Would definitely recommend the khinkali but would pick a different filling if you're getting khachapuri. For the main course, we shared the shkmeruli - a roasted chicken in a creamy garlic sauce. I've seen this listed as chicken tabaka elsewhere. It was excellent! Less garlicky than the one I had a Saperavi earlier in the week. Chicken was juicy but the sauce was the star. We dipped the nipples of the khinkali in the sauce to maximize usage. Good list of Georgian wines. Full bar plus some beers including a Georgian one. Service brought out the dishes in a well paced manner. They were very patient as we lounged in their backyard. It was a very comfortable outdoor dining set up. There is one, spacious single occupancy restroom.

It was a rainy Saturday at around 1, so it wasn't too busy at the time. We ordered: -Eggplant rolls (eggplant with walnut, fenugreek, garlic paste, and pomegranates) -Megruli Kachapuri (classic kachapuri with extra cheese) - basically cheese bread and I mean, can you really go wrong with extra cheese? -Beef Khinkali - I would say this might only be the second time I've had Khinkali before and I don't think I'm a fan of the super thick skin. I did like that it was kind of like a hand-held soup dumpling though -Lula Kebab (ground lamb wrapped in lavash) - this was my favorite dish. They do not skimp on the meat! It's a ground meat skewer, which was very tender and flavorful (though a BIT too salty), and I loved the homemade tomato sauce it was served with. I ended up putting the sauce on everything -Kupati (Georgian-style sausage) - I liked the meat itself, but the casing was on the thicker side -Chicken in Bazhe (pan roasted Cornish hen in walnut sauce) - the chicken was a little dry, and I didn't love the walnut sauce If I were to come back, I think the only thing I would order again would be the kachapuri (or perhaps try a different variation), and definitely the kebab.

In the last few weeks, I have been to three Georgian restaurants, and this one may be the antithesis to everything I have tried up to this point. Because this restaurant is in Williamsburg, expect some hipster flair with some great food. Fortunately, Cheeseboat delivers on both fronts. This is the restaurant that introduced me to Khinkali, or Georgian soup dumplings. Six to a plate, these are outrageously, sinfully, delicious. Not terribly hot, but have terrific flavor that are not filling at all. Everybody should order these when they come here. The Shkmeruli is terrific as well. Full of flavor, amazing spice, the chicken is moist and juicy. I easily butchered this because I did not want to leave any meat on the bone. Unfortunately, the bread it comes with is a bit salty for my liking, but the chicken is the star, and that is why it can be recommended. Of course, you know what is coming next. I have been on the hunt for Khachapuri since I cannot get enough of this bread now. Everything I said previously I rescind (kidding), but seriously. This is dynamic. It is hot and stays hot. So much cheesy flavor and full of deliciousness I could not stop eating it. It is good for one person. This is not to be shared. I would like to take a moment to recognize my server, Liza, now. Pretty, exuberant, full of joy and confidence, with an intelligent aura around her, I think I fell in love with her each time she passed my table. Sonny from the film, "A Bronx Tale" once said every man meets three great women in their lifetime. Sometimes they come all once, sometimes they come around every 10 years. She is definitely someone who is going to make someone very happy one day. It was a joy to have her serve me. How often have I been giving out five star reviews lately? A lot, I know. However, you deserve the truth, and this restaurant does not tell a lie. Liza and all, this is the five star experience.

I came away disappointed -- nothing on the plate tasted authentic. Both the salmon mtsvadi and the chicken tabaka tasted nerfed, like the spices had been dialed way down.

It would have helped if the dill and pomegranate had actually been part of the dish rather than sitting on the side as decoration. Maybe this is just an Americanized take on Georgian cuisine, but either way, I didn't like it. The ambience didn't help either. We were seated behind the bar, where the tables were packed in. The row of people seated at the bar were a bit rowdy, and the passage was so narrow we got bumped every few minutes.
