The Michelin Guide's review
On a prime corner in the West Village, this welcoming restaurant radiates with Georgian pride. All of the classics are accounted for, starting with a selection of vibrant salads. Khachapuri is a must. The well-known, hearty adjaruli variation packed with melted cheese as well as the lighter imeruli made with mint both delight. Skewers and stews are available but consider crowding your table with several rounds of khinkali, large, plump dumplings filled with hot broth and the likes of ground lamb or beef and pork. Servers are quick to explain how to eat them. A long communal table anchors the center of this handsome room surrounded by murals and colorful touches. Adding to the fun is a wine list that’s entirely Georgian.
