"Cute little Georgian cafe with real authentic Georgian food. Some of the best Georgian food I’ve had in the U.S."
"The best place I’ve stopped at in NY! Been craving lobiani and khachapuri since I went to Georgia in 2019 and for 5 dollars each and complementary tea this place was more than worth it."
"Real representation of Georgian food."
"Delicious Georgian food!"
"The ✨🍳🧀Adjaruli Khachapuri, the 'egg & cheese boat' thing was mind blowing..!"
"I am Georgian and I can safely say this is one of the best Georgian restaurants in the city."
"Absolutely delicious Georgian food in town!"
Cons:
"As a Caucasian, I can say that khinkali was far from being authentic, too spicy, definitely not worth 4$ a unit."
"Honeycake was not any of honey and very far from being a honeycake we know and make."
"For $20, basically got a microwaved portion of stringy chicken stew and flavorless mashed potatoes that didn't look anything like the pictures."

"Super helpful staff, just ask about any uncertainty even if you don’t know what to order and they will happily and patiently explain the whole menu and tend to any allergies."
"The staff were all very friendly and patient."
"The staff is extraordinarily kind."
Cons:

"The prices too are pretty decent compared to the neighborhood they are located in."
"Prices are extremely generous too."
"If you are not extremely hungry, the pies can get you full for less than 10$."
Cons:
"The price might be a bit high for casual food, but this is no big deal knowing the amount of food it comes with."
"Salad with tomato & cucumber was bitter and with boring dressing, I couldn't finish it... So just boring and tasteless salad for $9."
