    Fried Khinkali
    John-Carlo B.

    Khinkali House is a fantastic spot for authentic Georgian food. I ordered the charcuterie plate, boiled and fried khinkali with cheese, beef, and lamb, plus the sturgeon skewer, and everything was flavorful and very reasonably priced. The khinkali were easily the highlight of the meal. Service was incredibly quick. I was seated right away, the food came out fast, and the staff gave great recommendations on what to order. The atmosphere is warm and casual, with a cozy dining room that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal. I would have loved some complimentary bread, but that's a very minor complaint. Overall, a great experience and a place I'd definitely return to.

    Okay, this place is officially a new favorite! The food is absolutely divine, and I'm still thinking about it. Huge shoutout to Irina because she is hands down the BEST!! Her energy and service were everything.

    We came for a light snack before dinner It was my first time trying Armenian-Georgian soup dumplings (the khinkali). We tried the lamb and the beef boiled ( traditional way) and then we tried the mushrooms fried. I would say traditional method is ok but those mushroom ones fries were excellent so I'm thinking them fried must be even better. The dumplings are quite big but they're mostly empty with a bit of ground meat and a thin broth. It's tasty but if you're expecting a soup dumpling like DTF (din tai fung) then this isn't it. It's heartier and less refined than the DTF version. The hummus is great and so was the khachapuri (Georgia egg and cheese bread boats). The staff was super nice and very accommodating to our family. We had a bunch of rambunctious kids and they're were super nice with them. The restaurant is nice and very spacious it can definitely have some big parties in there. They have a full bar and the prices are reasonable for their drinks. Would def come back

    First time here and I'll definitely be back. Our waitress was amazing.. Very welcoming, attentive, and helpful. Here's what we ordered: Cheese Plate & Charcuterie Board - Would absolutely order again. Great variety and perfect for sharing. Zhengalov Hatz - Loved it. Grilled Khachapuri - Solid and satisfying. Mediterranean Salad - Refreshing with a great mix of herbs that blended perfectly together. Khinkali (Fried Cheese, Beef, and Mushroom) - All were amazing. Definitely a must-order. Pork, Osetrina, Shrimp, and Lamb Skewers - Not bad at all, but probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, really enjoyed the experience, food, and service. Looking forward to coming back :)

    We had several delicious variations of meat and cheese and dough that were very good. Wasn't really feeling the white tablecloth setting/vibe. We thought they would have a fun selection of Georgian wine including orange wine but that was not the case. The one Georgian dry white wine and one Georgian dry red wine we tried were not good, but I guess they were kind of cheap at $10/glass. The only issue is they accidentally poured us an extra glass of red, took it away from our table, and still charged us for it (and we didn't realize until after we'd paid and left). We also wanted to try a little baklava at the end and they made it sound like the pieces were really small so we ordered two not realizing they were massive and $10 each! It was a...fine restaurant but I do not think I will be coming back.

    Khinkali House 8/10 Found this gem one Saturday when we were in town. Originally, we were going to this other place down the street but even on a Saturday at ~2 pm, the other place had almost an hour wait. Regardless, this place was amazing. No wait around 2 pm and really quick service. Famous for their dumplings, you can really see why. We grabbed the mushroom ones, both a steamed and fried. I do recommend the steamed. You're able to really taste and savory the soup. The cucumber salad and bread were highlights as well. Pro-tip: bring a group here so you can share things family style! Service: 5/5 Food/Drinks: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5

    The food was not what we expected. We had one of each Khinkali dumpling (boiled lamb, boiled beef, fried mushroom, friend cheese), the pickled veggies, borscht, and zhengyalov hatz. The salted chickpeas were a strange app, but could've be also we aren't regular connoisseurs of this cuisine. Maybe we incorrectly came in thinking this was comparable to Din tai fung which it definitely was not. Our experience here felt like every dish was an appetizer. The best dish we had was the zhengyalov hatz which is probably purchased from the place nearby that only does this and unlikely to be prepared in house. We left full but unsatisfied. Most of the food was heavy / greasy to us and no real main entree. The best Khinkali of the ones we got was the steamed beef. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor still. We likely won't be coming back because this type of food I guess just isn't for us, but clearly they have a lot of supporters who like it so it just comes down to personal presence for us. We came on a weekday late lunch hour and it was not too busy and service was great. The first water glass brought to me was chipped in two places but was replaced when I mentioned it. Definitely should be doing checks before putting it on the table. They could do much better on presentation. It's just - couple wet dumplings laying there on a white plate. It's what it would look like if I were to serve this at home"m. When you pay to eat out, you expect a little extra of an experience that you wouldn't be getting at home - for the preparation, plating, and presentation. Feedback is to add better presentation of your food, it could help it taste better for having the extra visual appeal.

    Boiled khinkali

    Came here today for lunch. Never had Georgian food before. So I was quite excited to see what that's all about. I really like the interior. Its quiet. It looks elegant. I like the exposed ceiling with the chandeliers. There's also seating outside as well. They have a pretty good menu. With so many Eastern European dishes and drinks. We ordered the following: 1. Mashed red bean (Lobi Pashtet)- 4 little clumps of red beans. Reminded me of raw meat. It was a good appetizer. Good seasoning. Not over powering. But pleasing to the palate. 2. Khinkali- they have 4 different types of these large Georgian dumplings. And they have them either fried or traditional, which is boiled. Reminds me of Xiao Long Baos or Chinese soup dumplings. But just a lot larger. Good flavors. Good amount of filling. I prefer the fried ones better though in that it held its shape easier than the boiled ones. The beef and lamb ones are a lot better than the cheese and mushroom ones. There's definitely a technique to eating them!! 3. Quinoa salad- this was really good. I enjoyed the slices of green apples. Added some sweetness and tartness. It was light and refreshing. 4. Beef skewer- the beef was tough. Maybe because we ordered it medium well. It wasn't that great. 5. Khachapuri (regular)- it was small. Like a little loaf of cheesy bread. Bread was crunchy on the outside but very cheesy and warm on the inside. 6. Chicken wings- this was one of the bigger disappointments. $15 for 4 anemic tiny chicken wings. Not crunchy at all. Extremely salted. And they just looked really sad. They belong more in the dollar per wing sode of things. 7. Okroshka drink- a yogurt based Russian drink. Had lots of dill and cucumber in it. It was interesting and unique. 8. Honey cake- this was really good. Light, fluffy, not crazy sweet. It was just really small though. 9. Armenian coffee- little cups of coffee with the grounds on the bottom. It wasn't strong at all, like turkish coffee. It was kind of weak and anemic. 10. Chickpeas- they had a bowl of this on the table to begin thr meal with. They were really tasty! Cooked well, had a nice bite to them. And flavors were just popping! Overall the food was good. Is it authentic? I think so. I have nothing to compare it too. But it was new and unique to me. I love the vibes here. They use that ugly butcher paper for the tables like Raffis does. Food does come out quickly here. Its family style type of eating here and we did order a lot of food, but the bill does reflect that. They charge a non cash pay fee which I find to be upsetting, because who payd cash these days...... And they didn't tell me about it beforehand. Must try here that we ordered would be the quinoa salad and the honey cake. I would never order the chicken wings again. The okroshka I was glad to try but wouldn't order it again. Everything else was OK to pretty good. If you've never had Georgian food or Armenian food, I'd definitely recommend it.

    Food was good but the service was absolutely abhorrent. We ordered beef shish kebab, it only came with one sad excuse layer of lavash that was already soaked. We asked for more lavash and they did not disclose that they would charge us for it. They charged us 4 dollars for a sad amount of lavash(see photo below). Genuinely baffling. It did not end there. We also ordered a Caesar's salad. They brought out fries instead, and at the time we thought they were just being nice so we didn't say anything about it. The salad never came out and the server made the poor excuse of saying that they heard us say "seasoned fries". (What is the "seasoned" portion I don't even know it was regular fries.). Do better khinkali house. Train your employees. Very disappointing.

    Honey Cake
    Lisa C.

    Im a fan. I've been here a few times and have enjoyed each experience. When I think Armenian food, this is the place I think of. Grilled Meats - it's all good. My favorite will always be the lamb with the salmon following as a close second. Dumplings - I like that you can order per unit so you can try a variety of different flavors. Honey Cake - my absolutely favorite. Say yes, every time. General Abiance - I prefer sitting outside. It's a bit bright inside. The outdoor area is more vibey and a bit more intimate.

    Hello I was wondering if any of the meats served at the restaurant is kosher or halal? Thanks in advance!

    Hello Nima, unfortunately, none of the meats served at the restaurant are kosher or halal. Thanks!

    Do you not have a liquor license?

    Hello Yulia, of course, we have a full alcohol license. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sell any alcohol at the restaurant.

    When I call nobody picks up the phone?

    Depends on when you're calling, the servers usually answer the phone but when you call on times when there's a lot of people at the restaurant it will take a little bit till someone picks up. Or if you're calling before 11.

    What's the dress code?

    There is no dress code me and my family come there in all sorts of clothes and they never said anything.

    Is there anything that might be safe to enjoy here for someone with nightshade allergies (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers including red pepper spices)?

    Are you open for dine in?

    They are open for dine-in, but it is outdoor seating only.

    Do they have khachapuri?

    Yes, the do! Very tasty!

On to the food - we ordered the eggplant appetizer, it's similar to baba ghanouj but this one is a bit spicier and so yummy with the bread that came with it. We also ordered khinkali which is Georgian's version dumplings (we ordered the boiled version but there's also fried ones available).

The hen was roasted so nicely with crispy skin, and along with the sauce just made the whole dish so hearty.
