First time having Georgian food at Saperavi and it was delicious! The restaurant is small with a few indoor and outdoor tables. Therefore, I'd recommend making reservations in advance due to the limited amount of seats. The interior is decorated very indigenously to Georgian culture with the brick flooring and cultural murals. Ambiance rate 7/10. The dishes my boyfriend and I ordered.... 1. Spinach & Cheese Khinkali: These Georgian style dumplings were so soft and filled with a flavorful soup. One thing I wished is that they put more cheese and spinach, but besides that it was delicious. Rate 8.5/10. 2. Adjaruli: This dish was so unique, it was like a cheesy bread bowl. They crack an egg yolk and swirl it all together to create a cheesy dip. I wish it had more flavor though only because it just tasted like cheese. Rate 8/10. 3. Kapati: This dish was a Georgian style sausage and it wasn't like your typical sausage. It had more of a meatball texture and shape. The meatball itself was mediocre and the sauce it was doused in wasn't my favorite. It had a sour and tangy flavor that I wasn't fond of. However, the mashed potatoes on the side was good being it had cheese mixed into it. Rate 5/10. 4. Shkmeruli: This dish was impeccable! The creamy garlic sauce was delicious and the chicken was cooked nice and soft. This was my favorite dish by far! Rate 10/10. 5. Truffle Fries: These were subpar being it didn't even taste like truffle. I told the waiter and he gave me a small sauce dish of truffle sauce, and even then it didn't help. But the portion size is generous and the fries were cooked very crispy. Rate 6/10. The portion sizes were a good size and matched well with their prices. The service was relatively quick and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Service/staff rate 8/10. Overall, this restaurant does a great job of encapsulating Georgian cuisine and I encourage everyone to try it if they haven't had Georgian food before! read more

3 of us were craving something warm and hearty on a cold Monday night. We stepped in for an early dinner around 6 and the place was virtually empty. Mealz is a bit on a small side with 10(?) modular tables that can be grouped together or split up for multiple couples. What's intriguing is the menu. It's literally a hodgepodge of breakfast cafe items (eggs, etc) to American burgers, Mexican , Italian , and Georgian dishes. Pricewise, from ~$10 upwards to $48 for ribeye steak. We liked the chicken tabaka as well as khachipuri adjaruli. The burger and fried chicken sandwiches were ok but nothing exciting. Similarly quesadilla was average, good size though. All-in-all I would go back for more Georgian dishes. read more

Excellent place for a delicious lunch! The service was top-notch and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved the eggplant rolls and Mtsvadi. All the veggies were fresh, the pork was perfectly cooked, and they didn't skimp on the superb plum sauce.

This is one of my new favorite places in NYC. I came across the restaurant few months ago and i decided to book a table prior to my NY trip. It's my first time trying Georgian food and I was very very impressed. We ordered several appetizers and dishes and they all didn't disappoint. Their khachapuri were exceptional, they were very cheesy and dough was delicious. Their lamb chops were ok but I wouldn't order them again. Their khinkali were great. The beef was cooked with perfect spices. I also fell in love with their honey cake. Overall I enjoyed my time there. The restaurant is very small so make sure you book in advance. The staff was friendly too. read more

Fantastic food, even better than Chama Mama. Lovely staff. Try their cheese breads and request their house-made hot sauce.

I has never had the opportunity to eat before authentic Georgian Cuisine. The cheese, wines, dumpling, honey cake freshness and flavor are the best. The lamb chops with salad delicious. The service and cleanliness of the place were excellent. I will visit as often as possible. read more

If I didn't know this was a Georgian restaurant, I'd never know it walking by. They have a huge menu of mostly American food if you know what I mean (burgers, sandwiches, meats). But they also have most of the classic Georgian foods, from starter spreads to cheese breads and full entrees. For vegetarians, I recommend the Lobio. It's a very filling bean stew with a corn pancake and unusual pickled vegetables. You really need the soured food to balance the beans! Bring a bunch of friends if you want to try the khatchapuri, it's not really a meal unless you're the kind of person who orders a plain slice of pizza with no sauce (ok maybe it's a meal). They don't have it on the menu, but if you ask, you might get a bottle of tarkhun :) You can order in English, Georgian or even Russian here (just don't be a jerk). Taking off one star for excessively loud music and inadequate filtration of smokey air. Clean restroom at least! read more

Check out Saperavi for some delicious and authentic Georgian food! This restaurant was very warm and cozy. If you're a cheese lover, then you're going to really love Georgian food. Many of the dishes had a lot of cheese in it from the adjaruli khachapuri and the spinach and cheese khinkali. They really go heavy on the cheese! The adjaruli khachapuri had an amazing cheese pull. With the khinkali, these are like big dumplings or momos, you flip them over and then slurp it. Lastly, their chicken tabaka was really good, their sauce was heavenly. Overall, this restaurant has really authentic Georgian food that was warm and cozy. The portion sizes are also pretty big for each dish, and the food fills you up. It really felt like home cooked food. They also serve wine here that has been fermented for six months, to give the wine an extra kick and zest. Their customer service was also amazing! The waiters were really nice, polite, and informative of the food. The prices were also pretty good, things were priced to $15-$20 per dish. This restaurant inspired me to check out some other Georgian restaurants out there in the city. Price:$15-$20 Rating: 9/10 read more

We stopped upon Saperavi by accident while looking for something else, and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! With an impressive 4.9 rating, we decided to call and check for availability. The host, Gio, went above and beyond and despite the restaurant being fully booked, he told us that if we could arrive within 15 minutes, he would find a way to accommodate us. That level of hospitality is rare, and it immediately set the tone for a fantastic experience. We sat at the bar with a perfect view of the open kitchen, where we could watch the chefs at work. We started with a bottle of red wine and a selection of appetizers, all of which were outstanding. The hand-cut fries took me straight back to my village. Simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. Cut by hand and not by the machine. For the main course, we both went with the lamb chops and potato purée. Wow, they were spot on! The service was just as impeccable as the food. Our server was attentive, and the entire atmosphere, from the warm hospitality to the lively open kitchen, made our experience even better. Saperavi is a true gem, and we will definitely be coming back. Great job to the whole tea. You deserve all the success! read more

I've always wanted to try Georgian food but the options aren't very abundant so when i saw @hungryartistny post about this place, I had to go. On a cold Saturday night, there were three different groups seated to eat, two tables empty and seats at the counter. We were immediately given a menu with an extensive list of foods from all day breakfast to sandwiches and quesadillas to traditional Georgian cuisine. I ordered the shkmeruli, beef khinkali, and adjaruli khachapuri and my friend ordered the fried potatoes w/ mushrooms and surf and turf Everything came out piping hot with a huge serving size. The beef khinkali was soo juicy and flavorful. And huge! I wanted to finish the whole plate but I needed room for everything else. I tried the fried potatoes and mushrooms my friend ordered and it was really earthy and well seasoned too. They used at least two kinds of mushrooms and the potatoes were thinly sliced. Next, the shkmeruli came and i have no words. A hot plate of tender roasted chicken was bathing in a garlic sauce bath. It's so simple but executed incredibly. I could not stop taking bite after bite although I was quickly filling up. My friend's surf and turf was honestly food for two to three ppl but I was limited on space in my belly so I didn't taste it. He thoroughly enjoyed it though. The adjaruli khachapuri came at the end and I think that's because they were baking the bread from scratch. It was hot, fresh and sooo soft. The pool of cheese on top had a camera worthy cheese pull but I was so engulfed in the meal I couldn't bother to look for my phone And to top it all off, it seems to be a two man show. The guy serving us and helping with the menu was the sweetest. He had a great playlist going that varied from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Michael Jackson to Earth Wind and Fire, I was grooving in my chair the whole time. He explained how to correctly eat the khachapuri and khinkali. He suggested a semi-sweet red wine that I would love to bathe in and i don't even like reds. Super casual restaurant with ridiculously good food. Im really happy I got the chance to eat here read more

We saw this on TikTok and it looked good. I'm a fan of Georgian food, so I had to go here. We were immediately seated after checking in. We ordered the following: Georgian Style Chicken Tabaka, which is pan fried chicken served with Georgian Tkemali sauce. It's sprinkled with pomegranates, which we weren't fans of. Shkmeruli (chicken with creamy garlic sauce). This was the best item of the evening. It was very garlicky and we love garlic. Both chicken entrees were small. I think they used Cornish hen and not chicken. Adjaruli Khachapuri- This was delicious. We love the raw egg yolk and that we got to stir it around with the cheese. The bread was nice and soft. Khinkali filled with spinach and cheese. This was surprisingly good. We've always ordered it with lamb and never had it vegetarian style. Eggplant rolls, which is filled with a garlicky walnut pesto. This was underwhelming in that it tasted bland. I saw chicken Tabaka on the menu and asked if they had peanuts in it. The server went in and asked the chef and was told that it didn't have it. But, I didn't tell him I wanted it. So, imagine my surprise that he brought us the chicken Tabaka AND shkmeruli. Hubs was saying that it's ok, we'll keep it. We were hoping that we wouldn't get billed for it since we didn't order it. Nope, they charged us. Didn't bother fighting it because I'm pretty sure business is slow. Whatever. Service was a bit slow. Not many people were eating in there. The adjaruli khachapuri took a while to come out. We thought they forgot to put in the order for us. I won't be returning because I didn't care that they put in an extra order for us when we didn't order it and then didn't take it off our bill. Normally, I would say that I will be returning to try other items on the menu, but I won't be saying that here. Don't like their business practices. read more

Never had Georgian food. Thought I'd give the Adjaruli Khachpuri a try. It's like a decadent white pizza but more creamy and the bread perfectly cooked. I ate in and it wasn't very crowded. Very clean and the server was very nice and helpful. She even showed me the correct way to mix the egg into the cheese. Will return. read more

I'm a huge fan of Georgian food, so finding food Georgian food in New York City was important. It's a small restaurant with a very cute ambiance. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming to us. If you come, you absolutely must order elarji balls, khinkali (Georgian soup dumplings), khachapuri (a bread and cheese bread boat) and kupati sausages. A honey cake to finish everything off is a must as well. Top tier food, people, and place. Will absolutely be coming back here. read more

amazing food, very decent prices, very friendly stuff. Highly recommend. Small place, so recomend to make reservation.

A very unassuming eatery that is SO DELICIOUS!! Came here on a weeknight and they had enough seating for 6 people. They have enough tables and seats for around 20 people with a few outdoor tables. The menu is quite large with a lot of American items such as burgers and fries but we came here for the Georgian food. A small menu for it but it has all the staples. We got the beef khinkali which were SO GOOD. My favorite is usually Oda house but these were definitely a winner. So much soup and seasoned to perfection. The cheese boat was full of cheese and no undercooked dough. Chakapuli came out tender and hot. My favorite of the night was the schkmeruli. The chicken was fall off the bone tender and the sauce was so perfect. Usually my favorite dish and this place made by far the best. The lamb chops were standard. Their burgers are as if out of a commercial, large, fresh, and delicious. I am definitely coming back again and highly recommend! read more

I had the pleasure of finally having dinner at Mealz on 14th Street , between 2nd and 3rd Ave. I had been wanting to go there, for several weeks, but unfortunately never did get the opportunity to go there. The food looks so delicious, from a menu board outside restaurant. I decided to go with the steak, and mashed potatoes with chicken gravy. I omitted the vegetables,as that is also included in this meal . The steak was thin slices, which was a Hugh plus for me, as I don't like thick portions of steak. It was nicely seasoned, cooked to perfection and moist inside, where other restaurants, overcook the meat,then it's overly dry. The mashed potatoes were creamy and so delicious. I was in heaven with the Chicken Gravy, it was a smooth gravy,not thick nor lumpy, like in other restaurants, that I have been too . This restaurant is very clean ,to include the restroom,super clean restroom. To me, when I dine in a restaurant, it makes me so happy to see a clean restroom., I have been to several restaurants, where the floor, seriously needed to be mopped, or there was lots of graffiti on walls and doors. The restroom in Mealz was immaculate... I have to say, the service here was great, Tina is so friendly, has a beautiful personality and was so helpful in explaining items they had for dessert. I chose a blueberry muffin which I took home. The blueberry muffin was so fresh, I truly enjoyed it. I also selected a cinnamon scone, which was delicious. As I love Chocolate Chip cookies, I just had to get two of them, one thin, and a regular Chocolate Chip cookie. I most definitely will return to Mealz, as I want to order my usual,in most restaurants, Salmon with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli. This will be my go to place for eating a great meal. I highly recommend Mealz, Food Presentation it gets a 10, and as a rating, food wise, it definitely gets 5 stars read more

First of all , please don't take all of my words. This place is an exceptional dining place located along 14th Street and 2nd Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.( across from 99 cents Pizza store) I highly recommended steak at Mealz because the steak is juicy, tender and fresh. The steak came with yellow gravy, mashed potatoes and carrots. This place, Mealz has the best Coffee Latte. Again, you have to come and try all these goodies. Thanks Mealz, you guys are the best. read more

A secret Georgian restaurant. The shkmeruli, a crispy chicken in a cream sauce, was amazing. Khachapuri was flavorful, with a little kick, and the bread soft and steaming. The ambiance is pure Georgian. The word "Georgian " does not appear on the outside of the restaurant, and had no idea that this was a Georgian restaurant. I will remember to return. read more

This cute and cozy restaurant in EV was definitely worth the experience! There's not any Armenian restaurants in Manhattan and I love Georgian food and you can't wrong here!! The staff was great and very warm and welcoming as you would walk into a Georgian home and get that same hospitality treatment like no other! The menu was perfect, and of course a variety of authentic Georgian dishes with comfort food, I loved the vegan and GF options but the ultimate recommendation is the Khacapuri!! You can't go to a Georgian restaurant and not have one! This place served it up right and you can taste the love they put into it!!! If you are in the area, please check this place out, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Work near by; food here is always stellar, I've only gotten the salmon and chicken bowls though, but both very good and healthy. Good for those who work out, and tastes great too. Quick service; prices are reasonable given the quality of food, it's not fast food. Staff here are nice as well! Highly recommended for a quick, healthy bite / pre or post work out meals. read more
