We were a party of four adults who came in for an early dinner. The food was excellent. Everything we took was really good. The Georgian wine was also good ($85 for the bottle - not cheap). Two points to consider: portions are rather small. This is also true for the main dishes. For example, when the veal main course arrived we thought that it was a starter dish. Salad was rather small. We ordered bread, and got one very modest size piece of bread. The other point is that you order starter dishes and main course dishes, the main dishes arrive before most of the starters. This is a fairly minor point, but is a bit unusual. Having said all that, we will come to this place again.

Delicious, authentic Georgian food with a trendy vibe!

Everything we ate was delicious! And our server, Nerissa, was the best ever. Her grace, attentiveness, menu recommendations, and skill elevated the evening.

The whole experience was so good, we went twice within 3 days. Phenomenal food, great staff, wonderful ambience. These flavors will stay with me for a long time.

I've been to most Georgian restaurants in NYC and as things currently stand Laliko is the best one in the city. The food, service (iirc the server name was Milan), ambience and experience was all super. The eggplant with walnut sauce and cheese khinkali were both phenomenal. We also enjoyed the lobiani khachapuri also but look forward to trying other styles of khachapuri they have next time + look forward to going back!

Tired and exhausted after sightseeing in New York, we went to Laliko like hungry wolves and we truly did not regret it. We got a great table immediately, even without a reservation. The food was sensational, the service outstanding flexible, attentive, and accommodating. The prices are really fair. You can enjoy fine dining here, but you can also grab something quickly if you’re just hungry. It’s just like in Georgia: the guest is king, and that’s all there is to it. Thank you very much. We attacked the food so eagerly that we forgot to take photos of it, but the interior is pleasant as well, so this time, only photo and video of the inside.

This is the best Georgian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Not just in NYC, but anywhere. Eggplant rolls, khinkali, lamb chops - everything just perfect
Deanne Flores
Came here for our anniversary dinner. It was our first time having Georgian food and it was fantastic! Although it took a little time to get seated and to order food, everything was well worth the wait. The cocktails are so good and the food left us impressed and full but not bloated. The dessert was a thoughtful touch 🙂 Can’t wait to introduce this restaurant to more people, some of the best bites and sips of the year!

Nous n'avons malheureusement pas mangé dans ce restaurant mais je tiens a mettre un avis car ils nous on ouvert leurs portes en plein après-midi de grand froid. Nous avons passé un moment super agréable au bar avec le responsable qui nous a entre autre offert de l'eau de son pays avec des explications et nous a également offert un martini café qu'il venait de créer. Fort sympathique et mérite le détour et nous ne manquerons pas de venir manger chez lui la prochaine fois. Merci encore. Le cadre est charmant et d'une grande propreté

The staff is very polite, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The interior is beautifully designed with great attention to detail — clean, cozy, and inviting.

everything was perfect. Mari was cute, professional, and low-key ate. Polished, confident, and handled everything like it was light work. Main character energy without even trying.

Waiter walked us through getting Georgian favorites. Would highly recommend based on food and service.
Romina Montti
Wow really enjoyed our dinner here! Food was delicious, everything was hearty and filling but did not leave us feeling heavy or overindulged. We loved the chicken meatballs, eggplant rolls and of course the giant dumpling! Cocktails beer and wine were all wonderful and complimented our dishes nicely. The servers were attentive and helpful with selections/teaching us how to eat. Would definitely be back soon!!

Went for a closed private birthday party. Everything was perfect. Service was amazing, Bartender was a Mixologist, food was delicious!
Larissa Licha
Super yummy! We had the Kachapuri which was super delicious and not heavy (strangely enough given all the cheese and butter). Also had the mushroom truffle dumplings which were incredible. The sour cocktail was also very yummy. Nice staff! We'll definitely be back 🙂

I had an amazing experience at Laliko, a Georgian restaurant in NYC! The food was absolutely delicious and full of rich, authentic flavors. The “Mother Khinkali” — a giant dumpling filled with smaller ones — was both fun and tasty, and the Adjaruli Khachapuri (the cheese boat with egg yolk) was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is cozy and stylish, with warm lighting and a modern Georgian touch that makes you feel comfortable right away. The staff were very friendly and took the time to explain the dishes, which made the whole experience even better. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of the food and service makes it worth every penny. Perfect spot for a date night, a family dinner, or to impress friends with something new and unique. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend Laliko to anyone looking to try authentic Georgian cuisine in NYC!
Oliver East
Fantastic food for a special occasion. Milos looked after us and was a genuine, knowledgeable host and all round great guy. Thank you for a memorable evening
ARIADNA SOPHIA ...
Overall, it was a great experience, the staff were very welcoming and attentive, and the dishes featured fresh, natural ingredients that made for both a beautiful presentation and a great tasting experience. We spent about $60 per person, which we thought was quite reasonable for the amount we tried: the beef and pork khinkali (3 pieces), the mushroom khinkali in truffle sauce (4 pieces), Adjaruli khachapuri, and the pork mtsvadi as our main dish. We paired everything with homemade pomegranate juice and ended the meal with a delicious Georgian-style Napoleon. The mushroom khinkali was such a creative twist, and everything was truly excellent. We’ll definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu.
Daria Kokhon
If you’re looking for a Georgian restaurant in NYC, this is the best choice. Definitely a must-go!🤤

I tried it today for the first time and it was delicious!! So so good, will definitely go again 🙂
Mr. Igor P.
Laliko is a gem for authentic Georgian cuisine! The eggplant rolls with walnut paste were a refreshing start, the khinkali dumplings stole the show with their juicy fillings, and the grilled meats—especially the kupati sausage and chicken shashlik—were outstanding. Warm atmosphere, great wine, and excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience true Georgian flavors.

Artem Bakatov
LALIKO was an incredible place to try! A very good selection of Georgian plates that are made fresh and are very authentic. I enjoyed every bite of this dinner. Great and quick service. The restaurant has a very beautiful decor that makes your dinner even more enjoyable. Recommend sitting outside to take in the vibe of the city. Recommend getting a reservation as on Wednesday night it was almost full.
Anastasiia
Absolutely loved LALIKO! Hands down the best Georgian food in Manhattan. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor - from the perfectly baked khachapuri to the juicy khinkali. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. If you’re craving real Georgian comfort food, this place is a must! 💫🍷🇬🇪
C Irving
Ceasar was the perfect bar tender. On top of providing great service, he also recommended me a dessert that was incredible. I had never had Georgian food before and it exceeded my expectations. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious!
Maya Tsulaia
The best Acharuli khachapuri in the New York city I love the place. 100% recommendations
Summer Sanders
Some of my favorite food I’ve had in the city! They have vegetarian options! So pleased to have stumbled across this. Also, excellent service from our waiter who was very helpful at providing recommendations and making sure we were comfortable. Good place to go with a date, friends, or family. It was a bit loud inside due to there being a lot of people so we sat outside which was much quieter and cozy (they have blankets)! 🙂
Djuna Meskhi
Great food and atmosphere!

Love this place 🥰 adjaruli feels just perfect 👌
Kateryna Zinchuk
I’ve been to Tbilisi a few times and tried khinkali at different local restaurants, even attended a master class on how to make them. But I’ve never tasted khinkali this good. The dough practically melts in your mouth, the broth is rich—I’m drooling just writing about it. Truly the best khinkali! The service was excellent too: even the smallest detail, like a used napkin on the table, was immediately noticed and taken away. In short, the whole family left full and happy. Thank you!
hi lo
Cesar was wonderful, he explained how to eat each dish with such enthusiasm and made us feel very at home. Really enjoyed chatting with him at the bar, he has a great personality. The food was delicious and fresh, and healthy and hearty.
J K
Very good food! Just wish the prices were more Georgian 😁
Tyler Newhouse
Really delicious and filling meal of Georgian khachapuri (rich cheese & egg bread), chashushuli (veal stew over mashed potatoes), and khinikali (meat-filled soup dumplings). To drink, we had a pear soda and a pear cocktail - pear not being a flavor you typically see on drink menus, we were intrigued by the flavor and impressed with what we were served. Their other cocktails sounded delicious and I would go back to try them. Overall I found the khachapuri to be a bigger portion but much richer than I am used to at similar Georgian spots - still delicious but not my favorite. The main courses easily made up for it, with well-balanced spices and flavors. We sat at the bar and our server/bartender was talkative and knowledgeable about the menu, hailing from Georgia himself, and more than willing to give recommendations. The space itself is pretty intimate, so would recommend a reservation for peak mealtime or expect bar seating only (which was a little cramped but a fine experience).
Gea Elika
Half Georgian I have had my fair share of Georgian food over my life, Laliko is the real deal. Book it and enjoy the classics. 👍🏼👍🏼
David Chitanava
It’s a delightful Georgian restaurant featuring a stylish interior, friendly staff, and flavorful dishes. My main dish was perfectly paired by cocktail prepared by professional bartender Temo, who is highly skilled in his craft. I also tried a very interesting desert, which featured a unique combination of vanilla ice cream and grains that was well-balanced in taste. Finally, the bar had an excellent selection of wine, liquors and cocktails.
Andy Stark
Loved everything, Georgian Salad was out of this world, Lobio was ok, but bread saved it. I wish lobio was bigger. Overall great place. Would definitely comeback to try khachapuri.
Davit Giorgadze
Exceptional restaurant! For Georgian people to experience this sort of kitchen outside of Georgia is really rare. Can’t recommend this wonderful and unique place enough. One of the best food I have ever tasted. Well done!
Grace Huang
The food is really outstanding! Every dish we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I really suggest the Georgian salad and Khajapuri. Hands down, some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately! So good we even got take out after a big meal.
Mateusz Zygmunt
Was invited by a friend to try Georgian cuisine and it was an incredible experience! From the food to the service, the entire visit was great start to finish. Would highly recommend!
Gala Itkis
Very good experience at Laliko! Everything we ordered was tasty. Being originally from Tbilisi, we praised pkhali and georgian salad. The Adjaruli khachapuri with thin crusty dough was exceptional, the khinkali super juicy, excellent kupati . Napoleon dessert was a great treat - such a sweet touch. Friendly service, professional stuff. Complement to chef and his help. Thanks for a great evening and delicious food!
Luca Prohor
The food here was spectacular and the portions were great. Wonderful experience all around; this place has my complete recommendation.
Steven Chang
Was there for a brunch the Sunday before my daughter had to go back to college. My first experience with Georgian food and it was great. The dumplings were flavorful, but the eggs and salmon was out of this world! If you are here for brunch or breakfast, you have to try the salmon and egg!

This is the best Georgian cuisine in all of New York!!! Everything here is excellent - from service to insanely delicious cuisine! Be sure to try khinkali - you've never eaten anything tastier, I'm sure!
Dean C
The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and noticeably better than other Georgian restaurants I’ve tried. Service was outstanding; the staff were knowledgeable about the menu and created a welcoming atmosphere. Even though it was busy, the noise level was comfortable. I’ll definitely be returning.
Alex faes
Overall a great experience. We chose this place as we had never had Georgian food and it seemed like a unique experience to do so as well as them being a recommended option in the Michelin Guide. We had made a reservation and i would recommend to do so as they were quite busy when we arrived (sat around 7:30pm). The majority of the tables were for 2 people with a few to seat larger parties. We definitely over ordered the food as it all sounded so good and we were intent on trying a variety and it was all generally excellent. Unique and full of flavor. One point of consideration; due to them being fairly busy it was quite loud from the conversation of other patrons. We had a hard time carrying a conversation as a small table of two as we struggled to hear one another. In all fairness we went during what I assume to be one of their busiest times of the week. I would definitely recommend and return though next time i might be more apt to try and go during lunch and see if it was a bit more quiet.

The food is superb! Georgian salad was absolutely delicious. Khinkali soup was amazing. And fresh Napoleon is to die for!

Amazing food, adjaruli khachapuri is a must try
Iryna Shpigel
I have had a wonderful time in Laliko. A 5-star experience, thanks to Timur, the amazing bartender originally from Tbilisi. He introduced me to a unique, delicious amber wine—a true Georgian rosé—that was unlike anything I'd had before. His expertise and personal touch made the night unforgettable, I was happy to try his custom crafted sweet and spicy Margarita. Will definitely be back. 🍷🤍
Slava Shpigel
Loved the food and the drinks, very well prepared. Service is impeccable, vibes are mostly quiet and food centric. We sat at the bar and Timur was very helpful and professional.

Best Georgian restaurant in New York !
Tanya Anokhina
Such a great experience at Laliko! Everything we ordered was delicious - the Megruli khachapuri was cheesy and perfectly baked, the khinkali were super juicy, and those eggplant rolls with walnut and pomegranate were so flavorful. We also tried the tarragon soda, which was surprisingly refreshing. They brought out a flaky, creamy Napoleon dessert as a birthday treat - such a sweet touch. Cozy vibe, friendly service, and honestly just really good food. Definitely coming back!
