One of the best Georgian restaurants in Brooklyn!
We visited Sunny House for my uncle's birthday celebration in April 2025, and again for my own birthday in September. The first visit was a banquet letting us sample most of the menu. On the second visit, I completed the list. On both occasions the food was consistently fresh, full of flavor, and overall delicious. It's impressive how they maintain such a high quality across every dish - including dessert and even tea. A few dishes absolutely stood out: Khinkali (both beef and lamb), Megrelian Khachapuri, Adjaruli Khachapuri, Veal Stew (Chashashuli), and Baby Lamb Chops.
The interior is warm and nicely decorated, creating a cozy ambiance. The table setup feels like a proper restaurant, rather than a casual café vibe usual for Georgian spots. The two dining rooms layout allows for some privacy if you host a party. There is nice live music on weekend evenings, but it's very loud. Even in the inner room with doors closed, the music makes it hard to hear each other. If quieter setting to talk and socialize is important - arrive before the music starts.
Service is polite, friendly, and attentive, though it can lag during busy evenings. On non-banquet visit, the entrées arrived immediately after hot appetizers and khachapuri, leaving no time to enjoy the starters while they were still hot. Not sure why it's done that way, probably cultural norm. To have sufficient time to focus on appetizers explicitly ask the staff not to rush the entrees.
I highly recommend Sunny House for its high-quality Georgian cuisine and beautiful, welcoming ambiance!

Potatoes with Mushrooms - delicious! A simple dish elevated with garlic, grilled peppers, and fresh herbs.

Mains & Grilled Dishes
Khinkali with Beef / with Lamb - this was another hit! Certainly one of the best khinkali I've tried! Flavorful, well-textured, and full of juice.. Lamb version is quite spicy.
Chicken Shkmeruli - very tasty.
Megrelian Kharcho - excellent! Rich sauce with a bold Georgian spice blend. Same note on meat texture as the regular kharcho.
Veal Stew (Chashashuli) - absolutely amazing! Tender veal that melts in your mouth. The sauce is a magical combo of veggies and Georgian spices creating a unique delicious flavor. I think it's one of the best dishes at Sunny House.
Lamb Chops - outstanding! Juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly.
Mixed Grill platter (chicken kebab, pork kebab, baby lamb chops, lulya kebab in lavash with grilled peppers) - everything on the platter including grilled peppers was awesome and delicious!
Grilled Trout with Grilled Vegetables - well-prepared and fresh.
Dessert
Napoleon Cake - very fresh and fluffy. The filling didn't resemble the classic buttery Napoleon, but still enjoyable. read more
