About

I’ve visited here 5 times and I feel like this place deserves review. I’ve sat at the bar and for dinner. The drinks are good. And the food even better. Definitely any of the kachpuris or dumplings. But anything off the grill does not miss. I personally get the pork skewers with that delicious green plum sauce every time!

The staff here are amazing. They know Georgian food because most of them are authentically from Georgia. The restaurant is small but it has a very homey feeling to it. We started going here when it opened about a year ago and we now know a lot of the staff, so that makes it fun to go. We feel welcomed there. They have great Kharcho. They also have a great assortment of Georgian wines

Well worthy of its Michelin recognition! LALIKO is a beautifully curated Georgian restaurant. Between the beautiful wall murals showing points of cultural significance, to the Georgian staff, to the absolutely scrumptious food, this restaurant is steeped in tradition. The staff are very knowledgeable, and are more than happy to share the history of the food with you. The food itself is delicious, and I left eating much more than I expected, because everything was so delightful. Will be coming back here again soon, and bringing friends.

Great experience!!! Food was amazing!!! Very good dumplins, drinks and service!! I will definitely be coming back

Amazing bartender, full of information about the food, wine and Georgia in general. Everything he recommended was delicious. We had a wonderful time!

First timer with Georgian food. Every dish was awesome. I will be returning.

What a lovely brunch- holy heck. The service was really appreciated, he brought us some of the Georgian cheese on the side. Beautiful food, so incredibly tasty. Not usually a fan of egg plant and I’d happily order the eggplant rolls over and over and over again.

The shrimp Khinkali were great. Its usually always beef so it was nice to see something new. The bartender was very nice. He makes the bar a welcoming spot

Went to Laliko with my wife for a relaxed date night and it turned out to be a great choice. The place is cozy and perfect for a simple evening out. The khachapuri was honestly one of the best I’ve had, perfectly baked, rich, and comforting. The khinkali were just as impressive, juicy and full of flavor. And the Georgian wine was a highlight for me, some of the best in the world in my opinion and a perfect match with the food. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and truly satisfying food. We left happy and will definitely be back.

I’ve been to Laliko twice now, and both visits were excellent. The food is the star the khachapuri (especially the Adjaruli) is rich, cheesy, and perfectly baked, and the khinkali dumplings are juicy and flavorful. Many dishes strike a nice balance between traditional Georgian flavors and thoughtful modern touches, and the wine list features great Georgian selections to pair with the meal.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, very attentive and friendly staff, specially Eric. Very clean and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended it!

haven't had much georgian food so it was nice to try a lot of dishes here. everything was well cooked, i was pleasantly surprised by the flavors!

The food is amazing, and the khinkali are the best in the city!! 🥟✨

Great khachapuri and khingali, we liked chicken kebabs on skewers as well. Our new favorite Georgian spot.

Everything was absolutely delicious, with such a creative and beautiful presentation. The staff was wonderful, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even more special.

Good service food food recommended.

I recently visited Lalico for a brunch event and it exceeded all expectations. The restaurant has such a cozy and stylish ambiance — you instantly feel relaxed and at home. The Georgian cuisine was outstanding: rich flavors, beautiful presentation, and generous portions. Our group was especially impressed with the wine selection and the overall dining experience. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and every guest felt comfortable. Come here just once, and you’ll instantly become one of their regular guests!

I was a guest at a brunch hosted at Lalico and I was absolutely impressed with this place. The restaurant has a warm, stylish atmosphere where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The cuisine was incredible — everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic Georgian flavor. I was especially impressed by the large selection of wines and how perfectly they complemented the dishes. The service is truly top-tier: attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. The team made sure every guest felt special and taken care of throughout the event. I wholeheartedly recommend Lalico to anyone looking for a place with amazing food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service. I will definitely be coming back again!

Great service and delicious food!

It was my second time when I visited Laliko Georgian restaurant in New York, and both times the experience was delicious. The food is amazing, my favorite is khachapuri with mint, Georgian salad with so a tasty sauce. This place is great for a big party or a small intimate dinner. highly recommend

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.

Lalico is one of the best Georgian restaurants in New York. The food is incredibly flavorful and authentic — every dish tastes homemade and full of tradition. The khachapuri and khinkali were absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy interior that makes you want to stay longer and enjoy the experience. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of. If you’re looking for real Georgian cuisine, great wine, and a beautiful dining experience in NYC, Lalico is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommend

I finally made it to this place. Their khinkali inside khinkali were all over Instagram, and I just had to try them. The khinkali were delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was really nice. I’ll definitely come back and recommend this place

Very delicious food, fresh salads, and amazing khinkali. Incredible service and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend saving this place. We had such a great time at Laliko

Delicious Georgian Food! Great spot in the heart of NYC! Super atmosphere and lovely service!

10 out of 10! Beautiful space and delicious food from wonderful Caucasus!

Really enjoyed Lalico. The Georgian cuisine is flavorful and authentic — everything we tried was delicious and well-presented. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and stylish. Great spot for dinner or brunch with friends. Definitely recommend if you want to try quality Georgian food in NYC.

Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere, great cocktails! Menu offers Georgian cuisine classics - will be back to try the rest!

Nice place with a good atmosphere and good food. The bartender made well-crafted cocktails. Overall, a place I would definitely visit again.

Amazing place with best bartender Eugene 🤍 tasty cocktails and foods with perfect atmosphere. I definitely will come back again with my friends. Thank you so much 😊 you have really professional staff

Incredible food, great drinks, thoughtful and kind service - one of the better places I've eaten at in NYC, and the best Georgian restaurant by miles. Order the khinkalii - they're mind-blowing.

Such a nice place with great food and atmosphere!!

best khachapuri in NY

Laliko never disappoints. The food is consistently high quality, beautifully prepared, and always served hot and full of flavor. You can tell real care goes into every plate, and that consistency is what keeps me coming back. The staff truly elevates the experience. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive without hovering. A special mention goes to Milan, who is an outstanding server. He’s personable, knowledgeable, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish. Service like his turns a great meal into a great experience. This is a place that gets both food and hospitality right. If you’re looking for excellent food paired with a warm, professional team, Laliko is a must.

I absolutely love Laliko. The food is consistently excellent and always comes out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, which honestly says a lot these days. Every dish feels thoughtful and well executed, never rushed. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. The entire team is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special shoutout to Mari, my favorite server. She is phenomenal. Professional, kind, and always perfectly attentive without ever being intrusive. She makes every visit feel personal and memorable. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to, not just for the food, but for how you’re treated. And my favorite way to treat myself here is their deconstructed Napoleon cake. It is absolutely to die for. Highly recommend.

A modern example of Georgian hospitality and amazing cuisine. I am very picky about khinkali and believe I have found my new favorite spot!

Best food in city 🫶🏻🙌

Delicious food, my fav is Adjarian Khachapuri (cheese boat), very nice selection of Georgian wines, good atmosphere and a great staff👏🏻

Cozy spot with incredible Georgian food—everything is flavorful and comforting. Highly recommend!

It is a totally amazing totally authentic Georgian restaurant. Delicious!!! Highly recommend!

Delicious!

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!

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

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

Great food, vibe and service!

Very delicious Georgiam food. This is Khinkali and it was so good!🫶🏻

Good food and a journey to Georgia

We love it. Good food, good wine, very good service.

Excellent Georgian restaurant! The food truly captures the authentic flavors and atmosphere of Georgia. Everything was fresh, rich, and full of aroma. 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. Highly recommended!

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.

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!!

Great food, nice space and excellent service.

Excellent

Khachapuri was excellent!

The most tasty Georgian food in New York City! Wonderful service and atmosphere! Don’t forget to taste cocktail - Laliko Sour! 🤩

Delicious food. Georgian food not to be missed. INteresting wine list of almost entirely Georgian wines & they are good, too! I'll be back!

Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious food ♥️🥰

Wonderful place with great Georgian food at decent pricing and nice seating with music just at right volume so you can still talk. Our host Mariam was very attentive, warm and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.

Great service and even better food! Highly recommend!

So good! Definitely recommend!

Very much enjoyed the authentic food and wine at Laliko. I would certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to experience suberb Georgian cuisine.

The wine was absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal-so friendly and attentive. I will 100% be back with both family and friends!!

Amazing experience! Great service and great food!

The best! I come here whenever I’m in town -Megan Rizzo

My experience at Laliko was amazing! The staff was so welcoming to my family and I. The wine was also so great, one of the best I’ve ever had. They’re also all natural, have no preservatives and are so delicious, perfect! We will definitely be back soon.

Этот грузинский ресторан приятно порадовал, очень вкусно, приятные цены и обслуживание прекрасное! Когда буду в NY, обязательно приду ещё.

Delicious! Good selection of Georgian wine

This spot is a hidden gem in the West Village! As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere makes it seem like as if you’re in a restaurant in Europe. The food was nothing short of amazing and the staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend trying this place!

I’m actually amazed how good the restaurant is 😍great service, smiley and warm staff, delicious food and wine, everything’s clean and feels so cosy! Thank you 🤍

I go there all the time and usually im not the type to write reviews but i HAVE TO. Food is always delicious, very fresh and drinks are soooooo good. What makes me come back is the service. They are ON POINT, very knowledgeable and truly make sure that i have the best experience.

Everything was absolutely delicious hands down the best khinkali I’ve ever had. Our server, Mariam, was amazing: friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We had brunch here and everything was so good! Khinkhali and Syrniki were next level 🤤 Huge windows great art and a really beautiful interior!! Big thank you to our waiter Milan for the attention 💛

Delicious dinner!!!

Great spot! Laliko is a fantastic find in the West Village. The khinkali and Adjaruli khachapuri were delicious, the atmosphere is warm, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Great Georgian wine selection, tasty dishes, and an overall memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Went for a closed private birthday party. Everything was perfect. Service was amazing, Bartender was a Mixologist, food was delicious!

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!

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

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.

If you’re looking for a Georgian restaurant in NYC, this is the best choice. Definitely a must-go!🤤

Thank you so much for such delicious food and out of this world service! Today I ordered some food for my school and was left extremely satisfied with the service and the food! Konstantin you are best!♥️

I tried it today for the first time and it was delicious!! So so good, will definitely go again 🙂

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.

Delicious Georgian food. Good service. Nice quiet place to sit with a friend’s.

Musaka sa jajima je divna bas kao i ljudi

Litterally my favorite place in the city, I get the same two appetizers everytime and they are consistently amazing. Went here for the first time in July and have been back 6 times since

Laliko effectuates a phenomenal environment cultivated by attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, namely Milos, as well as authentic and virtuoso cooks. I will certainly be returning my patronage to this establishment time and time again.

Delicious neighborhood Georgian spot, came here for a date with my husband. Thoughtful food, quality ingredients, care with every dish. I highly recommend!!!!

This place is real.

Very yummy and fun dining experience, esp the mother khinkali. Meatballs and khachapuri also delicious.
