Came here on a Saturday with a group of 5. we were sat promptly. The table setting and the interior was very chic and modern. We got the Ubani salad, Adjaruli Khachapuri, the dumplings, lamb stew, and the honey cake to share. My friends also ordered Georgian lemonade both in grape and in tarragon flavors. The salad was refreshing with a massive barrata. The khachapuri was so good. The staff mixed it for us and taught us how to eat it. The cheese and the spinach filling was flavorful but not greasy or dense. The lamb stew was also delicious. The dumplings are fun to eat - they're like massive soup dumplings with a handle to grab onto. The honey cake is a must try! It's dense, chewy yet crunchy. It's also not super sweet. Overall it's an amazing experience exploring this new cuisine and would love to come back.

Went during lunch, and its honestly the perfect low key vibe with charming ambience and cozy food and scents. Service was chill and friendly without being overbearing or hyper-salesy. The lamb stew was lovely, though there was more vegetables than lamb I felt like, and the lamb itself was on the drier side. The veggies were amazingly juicy and flavorful, which aided the dish as a whole. They didnt have rice it seemed, so I got their cornbread instead of the regular bread (being gluten intolerant). Satisfying overall, and pricing was reasonable. The fresh herbs on top was par excellence.

Cute Georgian restaurant in the West Village. Ubani has a few locations now but I really liked the vibes of this location. The restaurant feels warm and makes for a good date spot. We had the eggplant rolls, the khachapuri and the beef khinkali. It was all pretty solid, and the broth in the khinkali was delicious.

My Georgian friend brought me here and we had an excellent meal from start to finish. First of all, this is my Georgian friend's favorite Georgian restaurant in the entirety of NYC so of course I had to let him take the lead in ordering. The chef clearly pours his heart and soul as well as his artful expertise into crafting his dishes, and honors authentic Georgian flavors while delivering it in a way that makes you feel taken care of. Authentic Georgian cream soda was delicious, and a cultural experience. The platter of different dips with Georgian bread was delicious - a mix of eggplant, cheese, dips made from beets and other fresh ingredients. and the special khachapuri variant with kidney beans and cheese. All delicious, and an experience to remember. The wine was also delicious and so well curated. Would highly recommend coming here. If you're unfamiliar with Georgian cuisine, or you're wanting to experience some of the best Georgian NYC has to offer, you MUST come here!

I've never had Georgian food before and this was such a wonderful introduction to all the different flavors, spices and types of dishes. We came with a group of 8 at 6:45 on a Tues night with reservations which we're glad we did because the restaurant quickly filled up. To drink I love wine so I wanted to try some Georgian wine. Unfortunately I tried their amber (more funky and fermented flavor), their white and their red and didn't enjoy any. Very dry overall without any specific nuances of flavors. So I ended up getting their Georgian lager which was delicious! For food we got sooo much. We ordered the Georgian traditional salad, the eggplant rolls, Mkhali Trio (beet, pumpkin and spinach flavors), Adjaruli Khachapuri (bread boat with cheese, egg and butter), kupati (Georgian style sausage), chicken in pomegranate sauce, Chanakhi (lamb stew), cauliflower with walnut sauce and khinkali (lamb and a beef and pork - essentially Georgian version of soup dumplings). Standouts for me were: - traditional salad (creamy texture from the walnut paste, vinegar and oil and really unique flavor and textures but refreshing as well) - eggplant rolls (had a walnut fenugreek garlic paste that was interesting and well cooked eggplant) - chicken with pomegranate sauce (well cooked chicken and the homemade sauce was not too sweet) - Adjaruli Khachapuri (who doesn't like cheese, eggs and butter? Very savory and rich. Definitely good to share. The cheese almost had a feta like taste and texture to me) All that being said, every dish was so good and I was happy we ordered all of them. Service was very friendly. The appetizers came out really fast and the mains came out much slower with the chicken coming out last when we had finished most of the other dishes. We were so happy full by the end!

WOW, absolutely delicious meal! I have never had Georgian food but I will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu. My friend and I got the kachapuri to start with and that already left me in shock and a food coma because it was just perfect. And then we had the lamb stew where the lamb was cooked to absolute perfection! The restaurant itself is a bit small so I recommend making a reservation in advance (yes, even on a weeknight) but it's very cozy inside. The service was well paced and the waiters were very nice and our water was always checked up on and filled, which I always appreciate. Can't wait to go again!

I've recently been obsessed with trying every Georgian place in the city and this place did not fail to impress. We got the khinkali (beef and pork), kachapuri, ajapsandali, and chashushuli (beef stew). My favorite was the beef stew, which was full of flavor and was extremely tender. Khinkali were so huge and full of juicy broth! The kachapuri is a staple to get. Most of the dishes were large, making this place good for sharing with friends and eating family style!

The service was timely and professional. It's such a cozy spot nice for group gatherings or dates. We tried the Beef Chakandrili which was very good--flavorful and perfectly cooked. The Cauliflower with Walnut Sauce was delicious, highly recommend it. Don't skip the Imeruli Khachapuri, it's a must-have! We also enjoyed the Ubani Salad and Eggplant Rolls, both were so fresh and the sauce was perfect. Lastly you have to try the dumplings! Definitely will be returning!

First time trying Georgian cuisine and we enjoyed it. The Cornish hens in garlic sauce was excellent ! My favorite of the night ... Tremendous th sauce was delicious and the Cornish hen was cooked to perfection

Great place, great staff, great service, great food, great wines. Can't say enough good things. From the food to the many glasses of wines, this place didn't really miss the mark at any point. Highly recommend the classic khachapuri as well as the honey cake. If you find yourself here, give the amber wines a try. No matter if you prefer red or white normally, they'll have an amber for you.

TLDR: a bit pricey for the quality and quantity of food. The restaurant was open late and accommodating but the food was not wowing. The cheese boat was tasty and done well but some of the appetizers were quite dry.

Came here after dinner for some dessert as honey cake is quite hard to find in the west coast. This honey cake flavor was on point! The last two layers were a bit dry and the service took forever even though there were only 4 groups at the restaurant. That's my main complaint that they could've been more attentive but I enjoyed the honey cake and I'd come back if I was ever craving Georgian food. Honest rating is 4/5

Under-the-radar Georgian spot with lovely minimalist decor that somehow avoided the restaurant price mark-up of both the NYC Georgian cuisine boom and the pandemic. That alone should warrant four stars! But also, the food is quite good. The Lobiani is huge, cheesy, carby, and beany--absolutely delicious. The Adjaruli Khachapuri was a tad salty, but otherwise perfectly done. The Chanakhi was a perfect stew, while the beef and lamb Khinkali were both bursting with broth and flavor. I made the mistake of getting the Honey Cake for the table, and remembered one bite in that I don't actually like Georgian honey cake that much (too dry)--but Ubani says theirs is made in-house, so that's something, right? Drink-wise, there's plenty of that Georgian amber wine to choose from at affordable prices of $14-16 per glass.
