About Laliko Restaurant

Laliko offers a casual dining atmosphere that is both welcoming and dynamic. Begin your day with hearty Georgian breakfasts and lunches that bring comfort and satisfaction. As evening falls, indulge in a dinner menu that blends classic Georgian dishes with innovative twists. One of our standout features is the open kitchen behind the bar, where guests can watch the artistry of preparing crusty Ajarian Khachapuri and the meticulous hand-wrapping of fresh Khinkali, steaming and ready to be savored, emerging steaming and ready to be savored.

Marvel at the 200-year-old carpet and the specially handcrafted tiles engraved with the coats of arms of ancient Georgian regions. The large, hand-painted murals that adorn our walls depict significant historical and cultural moments from Georgia, adding a touch of history and artistry to your dining experience.

David Janashvili2025-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best Georgian restaurant in NYC! And coming from a Georgian, this is saying something (we're snobs). The pkhali, the khinkali, khachapuri, chkmeruli, chanakhi - were all top notch! The menu is just right and the execution and service are both excellent. You can tell the owner (Gurami) is an excellent and experienced restauranteur. Can't wait to go back for more! manan thakkar2025-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very good looking restaurant - superb ambience with great vibes all over. That said, I feel you can get slightly better Georgian food but a bit cheaper elsewhere in the city. Their dessert was brilliant though!
