One of my favorite restaurants! The best Georgian food in the city. I have been twice and phenomenal experiences both times. We had Amber wine, Lobiani, Georgian salad, and Khachapuri. Really appreciated the staff’s recommendations and the atmosphere was very warm. We will be coming back and recommending to our friends!

First time going to a Georgian restaurant. I have a Russian friend who recommend trying it and I was really pleasantly surprised. Not only was the food delicious but also the restaurant was extremely well kept. I really appreciate a restaurant that's clean and well maintained, it makes the place feel so much more comfortable. It was a very quiet and calm dining experience, I loved it.

The beef&pork khinkali were AMAZING (10 out of 10) !! The KHACHAPURI even more amazing (15 out of 10!). For entrees, we had the chakhokhbil (9 out of 10) and was very tasty but the better entree for my fiancee and I ended up being the Lamb Lula Kebab with mashed potatoes (10 out of 10)!! I was surprised how well all the flavors per dish went together. We forgot to take a picture of the KHACHAPURI because we couldn't contain ourselves but it looks like the ones they have online ofcourse. 🙏👌👌👌 almost forgot! We didnt want to drink alcohol and so we got Pear flavored Natakhari, also recommend!

This is hands down one of the best neighborhood restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The food was wow, wow, wow — deeply flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared. Every dish felt special.<br><br>The service was just as impressive — kind, attentive, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and hospitality are this strong.<br><br>I left already planning my next visit. A true hidden gem.

Excellent experience at Oda House. Georgian food is awesome and still somewhat unfamiliar in the US, but on the rise. I can see this restaurant being hard to get a reservation one day.

Michelin where are you? If I could give more stars I would. Having visited Tbilisi 3 weeks ago, I had been craving Georgian cuisine on my trip to NYC. Thank the lord I decided on ODA House. Initially, I found a list of recommendations off Reddit and after seeing the reviews as well as pictures of the ambience, date night was locked in. The vibe and hospitality in there took me back to the streets of Tbilisi.<br><br>We had the Adjaruli khachapuri, Mushroom and cheese Khinkali, Meat Khinkali, and a WHOLE LOTTA medium amber wine (MUST TRY). Tarkhuna was also on our table (Tarragon Soda, looks like a magic potion and kinda tastes like it too haha).<br><br>Starting with the Meat khinkali which came first (we hadn’t even ordered it), my company was vegetarian so I am glad we caught it before inhaling them. Nonetheless I personally enjoyed them, aromatic soup, tender meat filling (not sure exactly I am guessing pork), and soft enclosure.<br><br>Now for the khinkali that we actually ordered. WOW. I was at a loss of words. Having only tried meat variants of the dumpling, the mushroom and cheese blew me away. Served with sour cream and a completely unique flavour profile, my most recommended menu item.<br><br>The adjaruli khachapuri was served next. Very traditional, only difference I noticed was that the egg was poached and the yolk wasn’t as runny as I have had in Georgia. Hot and soft bread, well-done brown crust, buttered…no sorry…lathered and the cheese was so rich. My final piece on this dish? TO DIE FOR.<br><br>Our server was nice enough, but the management was top notch. They attended to our khinkali hiccup with such accountability. Didn’t charge us for the menu item of course, but also put my 3 glasses of wine on the house. Not to mention the warm apology from what I will assume was the owner of the restaurant. Before leaving, he insisted on taking a shot with him…on the house again!<br><br>Chiche…Georgian brandy, went down like dessert. XO.<br><br>They indeed took care of us and I hope I have too. God bless this restaurant, they deserve Michelin attention. Can’t wait to be back in Tbilisi…sorry…NYC!!!

Response from the owner

Param, thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled that our dishes, wine, and atmosphere brought back the spirit of Tbilisi for you. We’re glad the khinkali mix-up was handled quickly and that you felt truly taken care of by our team. Your kind words and enthusiasm mean a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to our Georgian restaurant in Manhattan!

It was our first time visiting this Georgian restaurant, and the experience was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious — you can really taste the authenticity and tradition in every dish. The chef uses very old, traditional recipes, and it truly shows in the rich, flavorful results.<br><br>The restaurant itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, and filled with interesting art on the walls. The portions are quite generous, so we didn’t have enough room to try the desserts this time — but we’ll definitely be coming back to explore more dishes (and finally have dessert!).<br><br>The service was a bit on the slower side, but everyone was friendly and welcoming

Response from the owner

We visited this place for a Sunday brunch, having found it in Open Table. It’s our first time to have authentic Georgian food and this place didn’t disappoint. I ordered Adjaruli, my wife ordered the Mtsvadi (grilled chicken) and we shared kinkali (dumplings). The food is really tasty, well presented and the place is tidy with all the local deco. The only thing this place can improve a little bit is their service, our booking was at 11am and we arrived on time but the place is still closed. So we had to wait for about 15mins outside the restaurant and another 15mins or so to be served. But overall, it was a good experience.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you chose Oda House for your first Georgian brunch and that you enjoyed our Georgian food.

An amazing local restaurant that serves authentic Georgian dishes. From manager to servers; everyone was very accommodating, friendly, and attentive. Despite being a party of 14, the service was smooth with food coming out at the right interval and server/manager constantly checking up on us to make sure we got everything we needed. Ambiance-wise, the table set-up, lighting, etc was perfect. The restaurant ended up giving us complimentary tea at the end of our meal which is greatly appreciated. Highly recommended especially for those looking to host large parties!

I had never eaten Georgian food, so I didn’t know what to expect at Oda House. Now that I tried it I can only agree with my husband who asked as soon as we left, “When are we coming back?” Everything was wonderful from the dumplings to the<br>Borsch soup, a plentiful salad, wonderful Chanakhi, a lamb with eggplant, tomatoes, onions. Perfectly spicy, but not hot. My husband ordered the Kubdari, “Organic chopped beef, onions, herbs & Georgian spices baked inside yeast dough” and not only was it very good, but it was a huge portion, for two, even three people. The portions are generous plus.<br>The service super, super attentive.<br>UPDATE- we returned for brunch. Had the Oda House eggs with their super Georgian bread. You can choose four ingredients from a selection. I had pork belly, tomatoes, onion and mushroom and I recommend it.<br>Oda House is now in our list of favorite restaurants.
