Chito Gvrito, New York NY

We have visited this place couple times. The food and drinks are delicious. Highly recommend.

The cheese bread (not pictured) was the highlight of the meal.with gooey cheese and fluffy dough, it was an excellent start.however the rest of the dishes, although good, did not stand out to me.the meat dumplings (khinkali) were huge,
with a lot of the dough being undercooked.the meat inside was a little tough despite being nicely spiced.the lamb risotto was light but not very flavorful and a little bland.the pork and chicken char grilled meat were well spiced.the pork was a little dry and not as tender as i would’ve liked it but the chicken was perfect.the almond cake had a nice chewy texture but was too overly sweet for my taste.

All is perfect in this place, the fresh food and prices are ok. Good service, thanks we will be back.

They put us at a table at the entrance to the street with a baby, the door constantly opens and blows cold winter air from the street, although I booked a table six days before the event and warned that we will be with a child. The worst part was that an hour later they came to us and said we had to vacate the table at 7: 15 (we came at 5 pm) as it had to be taken by other guests. When I made the reservation they did not tell me anything about this.

This is a great Georgian (country) experience this 1 place alone makes me want to go to Georgia first I had got the cheese pie which had a egg and butter which had bread that tasted like a baguette which was very good the mix of the cheese and bread was so delicious next I had got the Georgian salad which was very fresh and good and also I got chkmeruli chicken which was very good and juicy also it had a white whine garlic sauce which was delicious lastly I had the walnut cake which was creamy and very light

5/5 expensive but worth the money
(also the food is very light so you might not be full after)

The food is exceptionally delicious and very filling. Save some room for desert - their Ideali honey cake is a piece of heaven on a plate

Delicious food, friendly and lively atmosphere, authentic Georgian cuisine with organic food, and real Georgian hospitality. Thanks to the owners, Lika and Zaza. They are amazing hosts. Your visit in Chito Gvrito will be an unforgettable experience in your life ️

Great food; some of the best Georgian I’ve had in NYC.
The acoustics are terrible, though – way too loud for me at dinner. And the tables in the front are pretty small and uncomfortable.

I have been here three times. Food is consistently good. Service consistently leaves a lot to be desired. We had an early dinner there (6pm), there were only a few other parties.

We were about to be seated at a two-top table next to the front windows (re: cold). I asked the hostess/bartender to be seated at the next two-top table (farther from the window) and was told "it and the table next to it are reserved for a party of four". This "party" never came and two separate parties of two were seated there. TLDR - I don't appreciate the blatant lie.

The waiter was not friendly. Pushy, not helpful, not pleasant.

The Illegal Libation (Mezcal cocktail) had no mezcal. It's really easy to smell/taste mezcal.

The ambiance is fun, the food is good, but overall Chama Mama provides a better overall experience (food, ambiance, and nice staff).

Wonderful Georgian gem near Union Square - not completely traditional Georgian food, but a fusion.

The various cheese dishes are a highlight - some of the best I tasted.

I had the wonderful experience of trying Georgian food for the first time here. The server provided infallible suggestions among an can’t go wrong menu. Do not deprive yourself of this experience

The food was satisfactory, but the staff kept bumping into chairs in the narrow aisle while I was eating at the bar table. If the restaurant wants to maintain a width that is difficult for its employees to pass through, I think changing the structure of the table angle is a priority.

We love this place! The food is consistently tasty and the team is very nice, we feel like home there

We got the Chakapuli lamb stew and Espresso cocktail recommended from the people working here, they taste amazing. The lamb was soft and juicy, the cocktail was fragrant with scents of coffee. The classic cheese bread also got a nice chewy texture.

I tried the food here once and I loved it, but what made me go back is the nutty express (espresso martini). It’s the best I’ve had in NYC so far! It’s SO GOOD. It’s made with fresh coffee and a homemade walnut syrup. You have to try it.

If you want traditional Georgian food this is definitely not your place. I would say it’s more liken American version of Georgian good served here. After I ate chicken with garlic sauce garlic taste was in my mouth for 2 days probably
