The food is solidly okay, but I am giving them an extra star based on the service I received. When I first arrived, I was advised that there was a large party at the restaurant. Normally, that would be a red flag as that means I would be largely ignored throughout the night. Instead, multiple servers came to check on me regularly, chatting with me, giving me recommendations on what is good to eat, and so on. No, I have never tried Georgian cuisine before. Uzbek and Russian do not count. This cuisine is similar to both but it has its own unique characteristics. The soup I got first is hearty with good spice. It comes with two pieces of bread which help clean up the rest of it. This is something I would appreciate more if it were colder outside. Definitely not something for the summer months. The Chanakhi, or lamb stew, is a little disappointing. Very tomato heavy, I could hardly taste the lamb. The aromatics completely overpower the whole stew. Even the side bread has no taste because of the heavy tomato aroma. Khachapuri, a popular cheese bread from Georgia, is insane. Cheese, egg, butter, swirl it up and dip. More restaurants are starting to catch onto this addictively fattening dish, but this one does a nice job with it. The portion is a little small, but since it was just me, I was able to eat most of it before tapping out since the rest was slop on a plate. -- Would I come back? Probably not so fast. Nargis, an Uzbek restaurant up the road, does a better job for a better price point. Good service is nice, but if the food is okay, I feel no need to run back, especially since this is not a cuisine I would run back for anyway. I am happy I tried it, now I can continue on with my day. read more

My husband and I visited Oda House - Sheepshead Bay on a Saturday during the early afternoon. The restaurant was quiet with maybe 5-6 full tables. The main room was dimly lit and had chandeliers and a bar. The ambiance was overall pleasant and common to the vibe of the other restaurants in the area. We were promptly greeted and given tablets to order from. Our waiter was pleasant and helpful. We order a few dishes including the famous Georgian bread with egg and cheese. This was served nice and fresh and tasted great! It was very rich. We also ordered the baked eggs. A very hearty meal again and tasted good. We shared an order of the special dumplings which tasty as well. All in all, we had a nice time. We will be back! read more

Oda House - Khinkali Oda Special Zhulien Khinkali, Khachapuri, and baked eggs - Georgian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Don't waste your time - not about triple wine prices for ordinary wines, not about mandatory 20% tips for 4 adults AND ONE BABY - now FIVE people... Most important: bad service, bad cuisine, not real Georgian flavor or dishes. Waste of time and money- skip this place. Take my honest advice - skip it. read more

This restaurant just recently opened, and already you need a reservation. The space is small, all the tables are placed very close to each other--get cozy next to your neighbor. Call in advance to reserve a table. Only a few tables for two are available. Mostly tables for groups of 4-6. The service was superb. Waiters were accommodating and courteous. The manager circulates the floor and makes sure you are doing well. We changed our seat thrice, because of the draft from the door, and we were accommodated in our request. Live music available on some Saturdays--piano and guitar player. Classy music playing in the background at all other times. The ambiance is classy and cozy. Crystal chandeliers, piano in the corner, electric fireplace, dimmed lighting,--everything to justify you paying Manhattan prices for the meal you are about to enjoy. Full bar available on premises. Alcohol is on the expensive side--$19 per glass of red wine. Manhattan prices. The menu is very extensive--we took our time deciding what to try on our first visit. Definitely hoping to return to taste more of the delicious items. $19 Megruli was divine--one of the best khachapuri I've ever had, and I've tried quite an extensive number. Super cheesy and gooey. Perfect for a cold night's meal. The portion is great for sharing. Very salty, due to suluguni cheese, so prepare to drink tons of water afterwards. $31 lamb Apkhazura was superb. The portion looks small but it will fill you up. The intestine stuffed with minced lamb + herbs was bursting with flavor. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The herbs did magic to highlight the flavors of the lamb. Definitely try this. $32 Oda House Special - Salmon and mushrooms was delicious. Delicate and flavorful salmon. Mashed potatoes were a bit dry and bland. Tomatoes were out of season, so they were expectedly tasteless and hard. $10 for a tiny pot of tea is overpriced, but that is the reality of beverages. Be aware that a $3.5% credit card fee will be applied if you are paying with card, so bring cash to avoid this useless waste of money. read more

When Oda House was still in it's original location in the East Village it was my favorite restaurant for Georgian food. Been there SO MANY times and used to throw my birthday parties there too. With their new location on Emmons I HAD to try it. Honestly, I was not impressed. Yes, the food is good there's no doubt about that. Prices are insanely high and the service was sloppy. For four people the bill was $300. Crazy crazy crazy. We had the Georgian salad with walnuts, pkhali trio, lamb khinkhali, kharcho, an adjaruli khachapuri as well as a penovani khachapuri, the Oda House special salmon (this was my all time favorite dish in the East Village), mtsvadi, and some wine and cocktails. Like I said, I can't really criticize the food much. It's good. I remembered the salmon being better in the city location. However, for the price you can get the same things at plenty of other Brooklyn locations. Also, they overcharged us for a drink we didn't order. The waiters took forever to come to our table/check on us, some of the food arrived before the drinks, when they brought out our bottle of wine they didn't bring any wine glasses...you get the point. I get that they're new and probably are still ironing it all out but it was annoying. What was nice is that they have some live music on Saturday nights. Make a reservation, it gets busy. Would I come back? Unsure. I can definitely get my Georgian fix elsewhere for half the cost. Oda House is more upscale so perhaps save it for a special occasion. read more

The service was not great. We constantly had to ask the servers for something. Unlike other "Russian" restaurants in the area, they don't even go arround helping distribute the food to the guests. If you are considering this place for a banquet, I think you will be disappointed. Most other Russian restaurants do a better job. read more

New place on Emmons, Georgian Cousine. I'll start with the interiors. I think they relied on the very busy and popular geo location and put a lot of tables, thinking they would be very busy and so they can accommodate many customers. The tables are very close to each other , very uncomfortable. So we went on Saturday, which is always busy day for restaurants. The place was empty. The service was not good. The girl was rushing all the time, making us very uncomfortable. The good thing they would bring food pretty fast. Now the most important part- the food. We love Georgian food for its rich and savory spices and aromas. This one was such a DISAPPOINTMENT. Very plain, not tasty at all, no flavor. My lamb was so rubbery!!! Horrible. And the portions are small, not for sharing, and prices are high. We are definitely NOT coming back and NOT recommending the place. Very sad. read more

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon and had a fine dinner. The food is authentically Georgian and very tasty. The menu is expansive, the service was fine, and two young women came in to provide music that was much more pleasant than the generic dance club rock dominating many restaurants today. read more

Oda House - Chakapuli and Chacha (grape vodka) - Georgian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food is delicious! The service is absolutely terrible! Sunday around 4pm. No customers here. Just us party of 4. Staff is sitting around. We wait 20 minutes to order food. No one checks how we are doing. We ran out of water. No one came over to bring more water. My aunt had to grab my glass and drink my water! They will most definitely require a 18% tip on top of the bill. If tip is optional I would leave 5%! My advice to ownership is to start understanding that we live in America and customer service is important! This isn't Russia, Ukraine, or Georgia where it's custom to be an ignorant jerk to your customers! I will never come back here again! read more

Food is good, but the service was horrible, we couldn't get waiters' attention when we wanted to order, to ask questions when one of the dishes will be ready, ask for more water, order dessert (so we didn't), ask for receipt. The restaurant is decorated really nicely. It is important to highlight that I was there one year ago, and the service was on a high level. read more

This used to be a good restaurant. But my second visit today left our whole party of 5 with a bad taste in our mouths. The food was good but the service was awful. How do you manage to bring a 8 fl oz bottled water for a party of 5? Why bring bread when entrees have almost been finished? Moreover, even if you are imposing an automatic gratuity of 18%, why isn't the credit card owner signing to authorize this charge? Our entire lunch was spent asking (3x or more) to provide a basic level of service that we still were charged an UNDESERVED 18% gratuity for. They weren't even busy. There were 3 tables including ours! Disappointing. Edit: I just looked over our receipt and it seems we were overcharged by an extra entree that we never ordered. (Brooklyn location) read more

2 star, just because the interior is pretty descent, but this is a Georgian cuisine so we have to rate the food and service. 1st- the staff is not friendly, showing their attitude, do not want make their brain work and accommodate the guests, tables are super close to each other. 2- We've been in all Georgian restaurants in the area and close by. This one the most expensive, the food is not even OK comparing to other places and the staff is not friendly. read more

Lovely ambiance, live music, great georgian food. It is not low price but every time I in it's someone in this restaurant the impression was pleasant. Staff is calm and collected. Love this place. read more

I do not recommend. the restaurant is located at the entrance. Parking is like everywhere else. interior, simple, no frills. medium-sized hall, you can even dance a little if a small company. Food. Well, as in the dining room. Cook, 3 points. There are no specialties in the dishes. You don't have to go to a restaurant to eat this quality food. sorry for the money spent. The waiter, in general, showed himself as a person who simply takes out food. Recommend that either can not or does not want to. Dinner for two without alcohol $150 - too expensive for such a vague place. Coming back a second time - definitely not! read more

I have been to the upper east side location in the past and thoroughly enjoyed. We were very excited that one opened in Brooklyn so decided to take my parents there. The food was very good however we found the experience overall unpleasant due to the host/ waitress. We made a reservation for 5 on Sunday evening and asked if 3 more could possibly Join us when we got there. She very rudely said no that they were booked up. Okay no problem - we did not push further. For the 2 hours that were there more than 50% of the restaurant was unoccupied. She also rushed us to order in the beginning, was rude to my father when he asked about wine and then completely ignored our table for the rest of the evening. I feel the food was also pretty overpriced for what it is (260$ for 5 and we did not order any mains) and our bill came out with a 20% service charge already tacked on. While the food was good we will not return due to the service. There is a plethora of food options in our area, most with better attitudes and reasonable pricing. read more

Oda House - Georgian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here a total of about 3 times. The first time when they first opened the service and food was phenomenal. However the last two times I went I was disappointed and I could not justify paying the price I did. The cheese boats were undercooked, I had to hunt down the waiter for my check, and the bread was stale. The borsche was good but first time it was much better. The ambiance is on par and the music is lovely but cannot justify paying Manhattan prices. read more

Sunday evening party here. We closed the entire restaurant. Ambience was ok. There were only 2 waiters working the entire restaurant. Everything went very slow. Food -we had banquet menu- oh my god- I'm still eating salt on my mouth hours after I left the place. Almost everything was over salted. Very few dishes were fresh. The 3 good options- blintzes / caviar, and bread w/ the cheese and mushroom julienne. Everything else I couldn't eat. Waste of a lot of money. Never coming back again. I'm sorry to post a bad review: I look at other reviewers and I definitely didn't have that experience. read more

Waaaay Overpriced. NOT WORTH THE VISIT. They want to get rich quick with fancy decor. No wonder they've steadily declined in ratings over last year.

Do not even waste your time! Food is average but extremely over priced! There's no reason to charge $40 for one kebab! Or $400+ for only salads and a few appetizers! The servers are polite but the owner is a very different story!! We called ahead when we made the reservation to make sure we can bring our own bottles for the dinner party and when it came time after the first bottle, our bottles were held hostage. We were told that we can only have one of our own bottles and we would have to purchase one from the bar at a 200% up charge. PLUS A $60 CORKING FEE FOR ONE BOTTLE!!! It's not worth the hassle at all and now my father in laws birthday is ruined! WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN! read more

I have never had Georgian food before. This spot was a very good introduction to it. Live music, great service and a very homey feeling. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone. One thing I will say is that it is expensive. Keep that in mind. read more

Overall, my experience here was subpar. I've been to the Oda House on the Upper East Side, and my opinion still stands that the food is certainly not as great as true Georgian food can be, and is EXTREMELY overpriced (who ever heard of $19 khachapuri???). Additionally, the staff mixed up several components of our orders, including omitting certain side dishes and bring us those that we did not ask for. The location, while on beautiful Emmons Avenue, is located essentially in a basement and leaves much to be desired. I have so much else to say about the owners of the restaurant and their horrendous attitude, but I will refrain. Save yourself the trip and go to Argo on Kings Highway - you will be treated like family, will receive the most delicious Georgian food, and won't have to sell an arm and a leg for it. read more

Noting to write home about. The food is ok, but the prices are astronomical. Not worth the spent. For the four of us the bill was over 300, and that didn't include main course.

Not a returning customer !! read more
