    Adjaruli
    Adam B.

    I really love Georgian food, the kind you won't find in Atlanta. This was quite a spacious restaurant with a good sized menu. Only regret is that I couldn't eat more dishes during my visit! Chef's Khinkali: These are like massive thick skinned soup dumplings. I've had these before at other places, but this was the first time I received instructions on how to eat them. After it cools a little, you can grab them by the dough stem and bite off a little dough on the side then suck out juice. It kinda looks funny and feels like a post-date activity, but it's so tasty! Love all the meaty lamb and lamb juices. And somehow just black pepper is enough, not needing soy sauce or vinegar. Adjaruli: This is exactly what I think of when I think of Georgia cuisine. As a cheese lover, this is right up my alley. It's kinda like fondue, if the fondue pot were made of bread. Love breaking off side pieces of the bread and dipping it in. Such a nice tangy cheese. Lamb Lula: It's a bit like a deconstructed wrapped. Reminds me of an adana kebab. Love the pickled cabbage and sauce for all sorts of nice flavoring. Georgian Tea: Sweet and herbal. The perfect way to extend a meal with friends for more conversation.

    Lamb Lula Dinner Platter Rice

    So far I only been to one other Georgian restaurant, so when I saw a Georgian spot on GrubHub I had to check it out. When I went to pick up my food, I saw it's a cute little place. But, I didn't get to take photos of the interior, since I was only there briefly. I thought their dinner deal was reasonably priced. We got a good amount of food and ordered a boat bread separately (how could you not get a boat bread at a Georgian spot?) What we ordered: Lamb Lula Dinner Platter Rice Borscht Soup Chef's khinkali (Lamb and Beef) - Georgian dumplings Adjaruli with mushrooms Not sure if I would do take out there again. I think it was meant to be more of a dine in spot than take out.

    Nice ambiance and good service until they got busy then the service was not good. The dips platter was overpriced but I liked the flavor. The bread was cold I wish it was warm. The beef and lamb dumplings were super good. Wish there was more soup. The bathroom could have been cleaner. Overall would recommend for groups and if you need somwhere to dine without having a reservation.

    Came here around 6pm on a Thursday night and was able to get a seat immediately. Our waiter came around immediately to ask which type of water we preferred and gave us ample time to decide what we wanted to order without rushing us. He was also very patient in explaining to us what each dish was so we'd be able to make our decisions more swiftly. Started off with a light salad which has a good balance of all your classic salad ingredients with a light vinegar dressing. Can't really go wrong with that one ! We also ordered the Classic Khachapuri (cheese boat) and it's one of the most amazing things I've tried. It's got a crispy base to hold the cheese in so when you take a bite, you're getting the perfect amount of cheese and bread! Best part is, your server will show you how the cheese is suppose to be melted and folding - talk about a good pull! Also got the lamb skewers which is soo juicy and meaty. I'm not a huge lamb person at all but I enjoyed this a lot ! Not gamey at all (which is honestly my biggest concern when it comes to lamb.) Finished off with the honey cake which is a must!! I've had my fair share of honey cakes but this one tops them all for how moist it is and has the right balance of sweet and savoury. The drizzle of I think pistachio was a great touch. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something new and not be disappointed. Great vibes for date night, work catch up or just a reunion with friends and family. You'll get good food and great service!!

    Delicious food, excellent service, beautiful decor! My two sons and I visited Aragvi restaurant for an early dinner on Dec 29, 2024. All ordered food was delicious and perfect. Service was very friendly, attentive, and overall flawless. Very importantly the dishes were served with right timing, not all at the same time. Restaurant has a beautifully designed decor and a warm atmosphere. We also liked personal electronic menus that looked like a menu book and had an easy navigation. It was so much better than scanning a QR code and figuring out the menu on a phone screen. Thanks! We had a great time and we highly recommend Aragvi as a stylish restaurant with delicious Georgian cuisine. It fully deserves the super high rating it has! Food ordered Baje - in addition to a perfect base and texture it had a nice distinct spices combo and a generous amount of chicken. Khachapuri Megruli - excellent. Royal Khachapuri (Adjaruli with cheese khinkali on top) - this was absolutely delicious!!! Never tried such a thing. The cheese khinkali on top were amazing! And the actual Adjaruli was also perfect! Chef's Adjaruli (with ground beef) - this was tasty but more like a pie than an a usual Adjaruli. Well, it was not supposed be a usual Adjaruli :) Chef's Khinkali (lamb and beef) - fresh, flavorful, with thin soft dough outside and plenty of delicious broth inside! It was so good that after eating first piece we immediately ordered more :)

    I was seriously taken with this establishment. Walking distance from my office, so we did our team luncheon there. My goodness- stellar selection of Georgian dishes and WINES! The place is beautiful- very striking upon entering. We were pleasantly surprised when we first walked through the door. Full bar, and quite spacious for its location. Bright, lighted interior brings up the fun. Since it was a colleague's first time trying Georgian food, we went with a variety of apps and 1 entree, all shared family style. If you're familiar with Georgian food, you'll notice this is a slightly modern take on traditional, celebrated dishes. (The khinkali are huge! Had fun eating mine like giant lollipops ) Our server, Néneé (spelling?) was so sweet. Very knowledgeable about all the various wines. And food, of course :) Good for groups and I think they mentioned they have space in the back for private events/large groups.

    I went to this Georgian place a good while ago. The place is quite big and the food is a bit better than some of the other fancier spots like the more well known Old Tbilisi Garden and Chito Gvrito and a lot better than the popular Chama Mama. The staff was fine. To drink, I had as usual for a Georgian spot, Qveri, a type of traditional Georgian wine. I am unsure which one I got but from the menu description and vague memory it was likely the Vine Ponto Mtsvane which was tasty. The food here is a bit pricey but the portion sizes were big and the food is rich and filling so it was more worth it at that price point and besides the location means that it's going to be a bit more expensive. I started with the Chef's Khinkali for $18 or so which are a filled dumplings with a combination of ground lamb, beef, cilantro, basil, mint, and chopped onion. There's also a few more options such as mushrooms and some other things which is a bit more than the usual Georgian spot. If you haven't had khinkali before, the closest thing I can think of are soup dumplings/XLB but it's more herbal by comparison and the dumpling texture is a good amount thicker. These were pretty good with tender tasty meat and a bit of soup. I mostly compare these dumplings to the excellent ones at Cafedelia and these compare pretty well with a few more options. For my main dish, I went with the Pork Ojakhuri for around $20 which had pieces of pork, potato, onion, and Georgian seasoning which was pretty good. The meat was tender though there wasn't enough for the price point. The potatoes had good flavor from being cooked down and the dish came with tkemali on the side, a sour green plum sauce which helped with the richness. Along with my food, I remember otherwise someone else having a salad and I don't think there were other smaller plates though notably someone else did get a Puri (or rather Shotis puri,) a type of bread which is $3 here. Also listed as shoti in other restaurants, this is a thick bread and goes well with their stews with one person ordering the Chashushuli and another getting another stew which had a pot pie like topping. I tried each of the stews and they were solid and more flavored than my main and would recommend them. One person also of course ordered a khachapuri which in this case was the Chef's Adjaruli. This open-faced variety had ground beef, cheese, onion, and authentic Georgian spices for around $22 (the regular version is cheaper.) It was a bit smaller than others places being slightly bigger than the one at Chito Gvrito and it was fine. I would have preferred trying the more traditional variant but the flavor was decent. My dessert was the Honey Cake, a traditional layer cake with honey and almond for $15. This was worse than the one at CafeDelia being a bit drier and less rich. The presentation was nice though and it's more that the other place has an outstanding version then this place having a bad one as it's better here then at some of the other fancier spots. Someone else had the baklava (with walnuts, raisins, and honey) for the same price which I had a bit of which was drier by comparison to the Greek version but less sweet as expected which was preferential. I would probably go back here again and stick with the smaller plates or potentially try one of their mtsvadi/shish kabobs as a main dish. The food here is reasonable for the quality and better than some of the other fancier spots though in general, I still prefer CafeDelia the most with this being up there and being certainly better than the three most popular ones. Mid/low 4.

    Shalva was our waiter and Saba were very nice and helpful. Shalva explained the menu items and recommended good dishes. Beautiful ambience and very friendly staff who are helpful and explain to you what the dishes are and recommendations if you want, the iPad tablet menu was extremely helpful and paperless, but don't take it outside because it will make a noise. Cheese bread with smoked cheese on top of the cheese filled inside. The bread was amazing, but it was a lot, and it was quickly filling up our stomach stomachs. It was hard to eat a main dish while eating the bread, but it was tasty and very cheesy. Gender, neutral bathrooms, but also gender specific bathrooms.. and a nice addition was they use a very thick comfortable toilet paper which is surprising for a restaurant it was not too loud but loud enough so that you can still have a conversation, but also enjoy the music and other people talking. I would say every piece of the restaurant as a picture worthy angle.

    In a city where elbow room is often a luxury, Aragvi stands out--not just for its delicious Georgian cuisine but for its refreshingly spacious layout. Here, you can actually eat without feeling like you're on a blind date with the stranger at the next table. It's one of the few spots in NYC where personal space isn't just a dream--it's reality. The Food: The food at Aragvi is a journey worth taking. I dove into an array of Georgian delights, each dish bringing something special to the table: * Dolmas: Tender grape leaves stuffed with a flavorful filling--these were a delightful bite-sized treat. * Green Lobio: This green bean salad was bright, zesty, and herbaceous, a nice lighter option amidst the richer dishes. * Chef's Adjaruli: This was a standout! A traditional open-faced khachapuri loaded with ground beef, cheese, onion, and Georgian spices. The flavors were rich, bold, and beautifully balanced--a must-try for sure. * Pork Ojakhuri: A hearty mix of pork and potatoes, this dish was comforting and flavorful--a true crowd-pleaser. * Kupati: Georgian sausage done right! Juicy, meaty, and perfectly spiced. Sausage Ojakhuri: Like the pork version but with a smoky twist from the sausage. A winner. The flavors were spot-on, though if I had to be a little picky (and I usually am), a dash more salt could have elevated some dishes even further. That said, everything still tasted delicious and felt authentic. The Atmosphere: Besides the spaciousness, the decor is warm and inviting, but the service could use a little adjustment. The staff seemed like they were auditioning for a speed-waiting championship. Plates were cleared almost before I finished my last bite, and before I could even think about a post-meal breather, they were already asking about dessert. I get it--efficiency is great, but letting diners relax a bit would enhance the experience. Sometimes you need a moment to miss your meal before diving into dessert! The Verdict: Aragvi delivers on flavor, space, and comfort--three rare finds in New York City dining. The dishes were delicious, the ambiance was inviting, and the roomy setup was a much-appreciated bonus. With just a little more attention to pacing and maybe a pinch more salt, this place could easily earn a five-star crown. If you're craving Georgian food and want to savor it in a setting where you're not practically sharing a table with the next party, Aragvi is the place to go. Just be prepared to fend off a speedy plate-clearing here and there!

    This was my first time eating Georgian food, and I was very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! The restaurant itself definitely felt a little more upscale, it seemed like most of the dinners around us were corporate meals with clients. The waiters were very polite and attentive. The food itself was also really good, since this was my first time eating Georgian I didn't know what to expect. The Borscht soup was a little spicy and a little sour and the adjaruli wasn't too cheesy or heavy and you could still taste the mushrooms. I will say the star of the show was definitly the lamb though - I'm typically not a huge lamb person but the pieces were grilled so perfectly, the meat was so tender and flavorful! This was a great first experience to Georgian food, I would definitely recommend this place!

    One of my colleagues and I were looking to unwind after a long day at work, so we thought dinner and drinks was the perfect remedy. After a quick search of spots in the area, we landed on Aragvi. Both of our experiences with Georgian food was limited, but we were excited to try somewhere new - so of we went. Aragvi is conveniently located in Midtown East, it's somewhat inconspicuous from the outside but the interior tells a different story. The space is gorgeous - ornately decorated without being tacky, and lots of space with pops of color throughout. We arrived relatively early for dinner, but by the time we left there was a good amount of people dining. The menus were on iPads and contained pictures of each dish; I normally don't like this, but in this case I didn't mind as it helped me navigate a cuisine I had little experience with. We started with drinks - I had the strawberry mojito which was better than I expected; not too strong with a lot of flavor mmm. For food, we decided to order a bunch of things and share: shkmeruli, adjaruli, lamb lula, pkhali, crepes with meat, and khinkali with pork and beef. Everything was really tasty - the biggest standout for me was the adjaruli (I mean, cheese, egg, and bread - what's not to love). I really enjoyed the khinkali too - think of these as Georgian soup dumplings. To make them extra showy, they were presented in a huge dumpling and cut open to reveal the smaller ones tableside. The crepes with meat were my least favorite, they were lukewarm inside which was kind of a turnoff. For dessert we had the honey cake and Aragvi dessert (a layer cake with chocolate). The latter was pretty good, but that honey cake was really something special. Huge flavor without being overly sweet. Service was great - everyone was really friendly and attentive which really enhanced the overall experience. Overall, I had a great time at Aragvi - food and service were excellent, and I would definitely return for another meal.

    Had a great late lunch here. It was pretty easy to get a seat during a late lunch on a weekday. We got the mushroom khinkali and the spinach khachapuri. Both were delicious but I liked the khachapuri better. The portions were large and we had leftover.

    Happy Lamb

In love with all the food and drinks. They offer malt vinegar for the fries on the side which is crucial. Perfect pours on the beers from the bartender, big portions. Our waitress Cathy (or Kathy) was awesome! Checked in on us but not obtrusively, was so friendly and personable, helpful, funny, and really took care of us for lunch. *They're open LATE -- til 2AM most nights, 3AM Fridays and Saturdays.* My partner said: "I loved the private environment even on a busy street, the vibes, selection, our waitress, the bar and decor, our food, even the house draft beer which was only $6 and described as light but was really refreshing." come visit!!

    Beautiful rooftop bar on the west side. It's dark and cozy inside; invites intimate conversation…read more The cocktail selection is great, a wide range of tart and tangy to sweet and smooth. The service at Dear Irving is top notch, they are reliable and quick. They understand the difference between providing privacy and providing assistance. Great date night spot.

    As I've said previously, I try to avoid midtown. It's congested and touristy and the restaurants…read moreare usually just not that great. But Irving on Hudson is an exception. The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.
