Serious EatsJuly 7, 2013One of the only sources for Georgian good in Manhattan, now something of a hub for Georgian expats. Though some dishes come underseasoned, the khachapuri (cheese bread) is great.
Eileen PheifferMay 17, 2013Be adventurous with the menu -- it was all new to me but with each course the combination of herbs and spices along with the other fresh ingredients made for a culinary delight. 2 big thumbs up!
LeisurelyFebruary 28, 2018Georgian food is a cuisine that really needs to be more represented here in NYC, and for one and good goddamn reason- khachapuri. What is khachapuri you ask? Aside from one of the...
Olexy SadovyNovember 26, 2017High quality Georgian food. Khachapuri, khinkali are a must to try. One of the best I've eaten. Very friendly host, will give thoughtful advices.
Kate FurmanJanuary 11, 2018One of the best places to get Georgian food. Love the ADJARULI, lamb dumplings, and red wine also known as "peasant's tears".
ChrisJuly 21, 2019Georgian wines, khinkali, khachapouri, mtsvadi, everything is great. Authentic food.
Geoffroy BablonJuly 27, 2014Surprisingly tasty food, and unusually friendly service. Share the massive appetizers: try the Pkhali Trio and the Adjaruli. Then the Chakapuli. The Saperavi - Pheasants Tears is delicious.
Jarel HillMarch 25, 2019Holy Cheese board! This place was so great. Dumplings were great and filling. Cheese-y bread everything was great. The one with meat in it was my favorite.
ChelseaJuly 11, 2013New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue says to try the adjaruli khachapuri, stuffed with feta and mozzarella and topped with a poached egg. Bonus: Georgian wines served in traditional clay cups.
Omer ZachNovember 24, 2014It's a bit pricy but awesome and pleasantly casual. Start with a khachapuri (cheese bread) for the table then share some entrees. The liver dish was great.
Hande ErfusAugust 26, 2013Trio is delicious and good to share. Imeruli (one of the Khachapuri -Traditional Georgian cheese breads) is also delicious. Will come back to try the other khachapuris.
Neal JosephJune 1, 2014Fabulous combinations of flavors, I particularly liked the sausage bread and the dumplings. The Georgian red wine has such a lovely purple color (and taste).
Village VoiceFebruary 10, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Oda House to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest!
Sergio KubaDecember 2, 2013Went here a sunday night. Try the adjaruli khachapuri, stuffed bread with cheese, butter and poached egg. They have live music too, which was very good!
Lauren MacNovember 7, 2015Cheesy breads are divine. Get the first one on the menu with an egg in the middle; the salmon and mashed potatoes are also creamy!
Egg and cheese bread and salmon entree are always my favorites!
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Only Georgian restaurant in NYC at this time. You'll enjoy unique bites, including the Georgian molten cheese bread. It's unbelievable.
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014You’ll want the version called adjaruli, stuffed with cheese, and with an egg cracked into the hollowed-out center like a toad in the hole. Or the soup dumplings called khinkali.
Alexander RadziesvkiyMay 15, 2016Everything was exceptionally delicious! Even in Georgia you don't always find cooking this fine. It can get a bit noisy though.
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 23, 2014Make sure you eat their cheese breads!! One of the most interesting/delicious foods I've ever had! Hidden gem amongst so many great restaurants!
AmateurConciergeApril 7, 2016If you're craving Georgian, this may be your only option. The cheese boat bread (whatever it's called) is an awesome snack. Rest of the food is pretty middle of the road. Georgian wine is not good.
Michelle C.October 24, 2014Tasting table tip: try the khachapuri, pkhali trio (eggplant, spinach and leek spreads). chakapuli & the pelamushi. Skip the salmon.
Daniel L.July 5, 2013The adjaruli khachapuri is stuffed with feta, mozzarella, and poached eggs. Enjoy yours with traditional Georgian wine and fall in love.
Nikki PalumboJuly 23, 2013What to get: adjaruli khachapuri, stuffed with feta and mozzarella, topped with a poached egg; Georgian wins served in traditional clay cups.
Yami AlonsoJuly 20, 2016Great lamb stew like dish. Dumpling appetizer is delish in a great cooking sauce
Emily K.September 30, 2014Must-order: the adjaruli khachapuri - bread stuffed with cheese, butter, poached egg. Sounds as heavenly as I just described it.
Kira FisherJune 15, 2013Georgian version of soup dumplings and khatchapuri (cheese bread) that will make your knees weak. Chicken shish kebab also GREAT
Sofia UzMay 1, 2016Great Georgian food! Tastes just like my childhood in Tbilisi. Definitely try Pxali
Lizzy SaxeApril 4, 2016You basically can't go wrong here. From eggplant to pickles to lamb, it's all delicious.
Anechka M.April 6, 2018Authentic Georgian food - go for adjaruli, pkhali Trio and a bottle of kindzmarauli:)
Rachel BJuly 16, 2014Georgian food, amazing bread and yummy, saucy stew-type dishes for dipping. Good sidewalk seating.

Sveta MAugust 30, 2014Food, service and atmosphere are amazing! Try their orange cake it's beyond your imagination :)
AditiJuly 25, 2016The lamb in white wine was cooked to perfection. So well seasoned. Complete comfort food
Anna DzhenkovaMarch 15, 2015Authentic Georgian food. Delicious. In Georgia it costs times less though. The atmosphere isn't that great.
Lincoln DavidMay 28, 2014Chakapuli is really tasteful. Didn't fell in love with the Khinkali though.
Marc ZinamanJuly 27, 2013Adjaruli is like a bread bowl of melted cheese, egg, and butter and is the greatest thing I have ever tasted.
Mary RinaldiDecember 30, 2014Delicious! Get the dumplings and traditional Georgian cheese bread. Yummm.
