The list
- 1Chelsea · $$ · 14 St (1 2 3 F L M) · 149 W 14th St
New York's most mainstream Georgian mini-chain, drawing groups to a lively glassed-in kitchen. It turns out the viral egg-yolk-topped Adjaruli khachapuri.
Cracking the egg into that molten cheese boat is the single most fun thing you will do at dinner this week.
The glassed-in kitchen turns out the viral egg-yolk khachapuri, so get it and mix the yolk into the cheese fast.

- 2West Village · $$ · W 4 St-Wash Sq (A B C D E F M) · 80 Carmine St
A modern Georgian room from Gurami Oniani, listed in the Michelin Guide. Dedicated khachapuri and khinkali chefs draw press for their precise dumpling pleating.
The hand-pleated khinkali are so precise they look almost too good to eat, until you do.
It is Michelin-listed with dedicated dumpling chefs, so order the hand-pleated khinkali and the giant Mother Khinkali for a group.

- 3Greenwich Village · $$ · Spring St (C E) · 174 Bleecker St
One of Manhattan's original Georgian rooms, open since 2014, with a backyard garden. It pairs grilled lamb and khachapuri with an all-Georgian wine list.
A boat-shaped khachapuri and a glass of saperavi in the backyard garden is a perfect Village afternoon.
Ask for the backyard garden in warm weather and pair the Adjaruli khachapuri with a Georgian wine.

- 4Upper East Side · $$ · 72 St (Q) · 406 E 73rd St
A longtime New York Georgian standby co-founded by chef Maia Acquaviva. It is known for elegant decor and well-priced khinkali and khachapuri.
The baked salmon in cheese and sour cream is the sleeper that keeps regulars loyal.
The baked salmon with cheese is a sleeper hit alongside the khinkali.

- 5Gramercy · $$ · 14 St-Union Sq (4 5 6 L N Q R W) · 173 3rd Ave
A wine-bar-forward Georgian spot near Union Square with a deep natural and qvevri-aged wine list. Charred khachapuri and khinkali soup dumplings anchor the food.
The qvevri wine list turns a khachapuri dinner into a genuine education in Georgian wine.
Come for the qvevri-aged Georgian wine list as much as the charred khachapuri.

- 6Brighton Beach · $$ · Coney Island-Stillwell Av (D F N Q) · 265 Neptune Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11235
The oldest Georgian bakery in the United States, operating in Brighton Beach since 1997. It bakes roughly six khachapuri varieties from a traditional clay tone oven at neighborhood prices.
Nearly thirty years on, the clay-oven khachapuri is still the real thing at a neighborhood price.
Nearly three decades in, this is the oldest Georgian bakery in the country, so get the Adjaruli khachapuri straight from the clay tone oven.
- 7Rego Park · $$ · 63 Dr-Rego Park (M R) · 97-26 63rd Rd, Rego Park, NY 11374
The only Glatt kosher Georgian restaurant in the country, in Rego Park. It lets observant diners get khinkali and khachapuri plus farm-to-table stews and grilled meats.
It is the only place in the country where an observant diner can get khinkali without a second thought.
It is the only Glatt kosher Georgian restaurant in the US and closed Fridays for Shabbat prep, so the kosher khinkali are the point.

- 8West Village · $$ · W 4 St-Wash Sq (A B C D E F M) · 401 6th Ave
A contemporary reimagining of Georgian cuisine from a co-owner of the wine bar Sipsteria. Expect inventive twists like pear and Roquefort khachapuri and wild khinkali fillings.
The pear and Roquefort khachapuri is the kind of risk that pays off gloriously.
This is Georgian reimagined, so try the pear and Roquefort khachapuri and the wilder khinkali flavors.

- 9Bay Ridge · $$ · 86 St (R) · 8309 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11209
A Bay Ridge Georgian spot, with a West Village sibling, known for its walnut-dressed Georgian salad. The khachapuri and khinkali roster covers the classics.
The walnut-dressed Georgian salad is the reason to come before you even reach the khachapuri.
Do not skip the walnut-dressed Georgian salad before the khachapuri.

- 10Astoria · $$ · Steinway St (M R) · 37-10 31st Ave, Astoria, NY 11103
Billed as the first Georgian restaurant in Queens, open in Astoria since 2025. It serves khinkali and khachapuri alongside Georgian wine, chacha, and cocktails.
Astoria finally has khinkali and chacha of its own, and the room knows how to throw a supra.
Billed as the first Georgian spot in Queens, so pair the khinkali with a shot of chacha.
