Best Georgian Restaurants in Long Island City

The staff is professional and personable. The ambience is business casual within a well-appointed European décor. Now the food: Say what!! The shrimp (5) in the spicy hot sauce were plump and cooked to perfection. The vegetables in the salad were crisp and garnished with a tasty, but nit distracting, dressing. The eggplant rolls are hard to describe: Delectable. The chicken entrée that I was certain I would dislike surprised me. The chicken was presented in moist morsels with crackling edges is a rich sauce. Finally, the melted butter and cheese dish in a unique bread bowl rivals the best raclette in Switzerland!

I have to be honest! I dined here two days in a row, once for lunch and once for dinner and had an outstanding experience both times. The food is very good and solid! I feel if anyone wants to know what Georgian cuisine is, this will be the place to educate your taste buds! I walked in for lunch unexpectedly coming from the gym and making my way home, but the host was so kind and inviting so I had no choice but to sit down and relax. I helped myself to the khinkali and the garlic Cornish hen and they 2 of the best culinary delights I probably ever had for lunch. I tried to watch my portion so I literally had to wrap my courses up immediately because I literally couldn’t keep my hands off of the food. I then decided to do the same thing the following day but for dinner. It was a great experience and my cocktail was very good. Lunch stood out to me because I like my food to come out very hot, almost to the point where it’s hot to the touch. That was how it came out Wednesday so that’s why that particular dining experience stood out to me. They have great lunch specials that will lure you in, but they’re full menu was so good that I just ordered what I wanted and took home what I wanted to finish later or the next day. All in all, I can’t recommend Ubani enough!

One of my favorite of all restaurants and definitely best Georgian restaurant in upper east side

Probably the best Georgian restaurant in NYC! Awesome food, great service, and the Khinkali dumplings are to die for!

Great family owned spot. Ordered off the recommendation of the server. He was very nice and great recommendations. The service was great!
