Meatballs probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Georgian food, but maybe they should be. Ours are made from farm raised chicken meat with plenty of fresh herbs, garlic, and Georgian spices, then served over creamy mashed potatoes with a rich blackberry sauce that brings just the right balance of sweetness and acidity. See you soon.

We’ve talked about Soliko before, but there’s a little more to the story. Qvevri winemaking is one of Georgia’s oldest traditions, with wine fermented and aged in large clay vessels buried underground, where the earth naturally keeps the temperature steady. It’s a method that goes back thousands of years and is still very much alive today.
Soliko is one of our favorite modern expressions of that tradition: light, bright, just a little amber, and especially good while New York is still pretending summer isn’t over. If you’ve been meaning to try a Georgian qvevri wine, this is a very good place to start.

Our lamb chops, smoky adjapsandali cream, grilled asparagus... and one very photogenic blue bottle. We’re lucky to work with the team at Saratoga, but the truth is we’d probably be drinking it anyway. We love the taste, our guests love it too, and that’s usually the best kind of partnership.

Did you remember to take one? Our postcards have quietly become one of those little Laliko traditions people love. Pick your favorite before you leave, send it to someone, or keep it tucked inside a book until you stumble across it months later. We hope it brings back a good memory or two.

Some of the best things on the menu never ask to be the center of attention. Our Green Salad keeps it beautifully simple with crisp lettuce, cucumbers, a bright vinaigrette, and juicy pomegranate seeds. It’s listed as a side, but when it’s this hot outside... who cares?

Most people first notice it because it’s funny. Then they actually start reading it. If a playful illustration is what it takes to make someone remember what to do in an emergency, we’ll happily take that. Here’s hoping none of us ever has to put it to use.

Once you’ve had a proper Adjaruli, it’s hard not to become a little obsessed.
Ours has been the house favorite for as long as we can remember, and we get it. The bubbling cheese, the runny egg, the melting butter, that first crunchy piece you tear off the edge — some things become classics for a reason, right?

Nothing hits quite like a cold lager on a New York summer afternoon. If you haven’t tried Shavi Lomi Helles Lager yet, let this be your sign. Crisp, clean, incredibly easy to drink, and somehow even better with a plate of khinkali sitting right beside it.

There are hangover cures, and then there’s khash. Simmered for hours until the broth turns rich with collagen, finished with plenty of garlic and just enough heat to bring you back to life, it’s been Georgia’s answer to rough mornings for generations. You’ll find it on our weekend brunch menu from 11 to 4, and yes, it’s also part of our Hangover Kit for a reason.

Good moods have a funny way of lingering long after dinner, and we’d like to think a little piece of Laliko can too. Before you head out, grab one of our postcards from the front — keep it on your fridge, tuck it into a book, send it to someone you miss, or simply let it remind you that there are evenings worth repeating.

Some weeks feel like the weather is playing with us.
First, the kind of heat you can’t reason with. Then suddenly — half the temperature, rain, grey skies, and everyone’s energy somewhere on the floor.
For the weather-sensitive souls, we see you. The headache people. The “I don’t want to do anything today” people. The slow, cozy, let-me-be people.
Just know this: Laliko works in every mood.
Come when you’re happy and loud with friends. Come when the day feels grey and all you want is khinkali, khachapuri, and a glass of something good.

A little Burgundy moment at Laliko.
We’ve always built our wine list around Georgia — indigenous grapes, qvevri tradition, organic farming, and wines with soul.
Now we’re adding a few European bottles that speak the same language: thoughtful, natural, full of character.
First up: Domaine des Rouges-Queues, Burgundy.
Maranges 2022 and Santenay 2022.
Elegant, alive, and very much at home on our table.

What people say
Laliko Restaurant on Carmine Street is a delightful culinary gem that offers a unique blend of flavors and cultural experiences. One of the standout features is their innovative cocktail menu, highlighted by The Sunroom, a refreshing twist on the classic bellini. This cocktail combines peach-infused bourbon with peach liqueur, peach juice, lemon, demerara, and club soda for a truly delightful sip.
For those with a sweet tooth, Laliko serves up flaky pastries filled with smooth custard that have transitioned from French origins to become beloved in Georgian cuisine. This dish is sure to be a favorite at any table.
Brunch enthusiasts will appreciate the creative offerings like the Matcha Drift cocktail. This boozy matcha drink combines clarified rum with watermelon, lime, lemon, and freshly whisked matcha for an invigorating start to your day.
The restaurant also caters to hearty appetites with its Chicken Sandwich—a delicious combination of grilled chicken breast, fresh spinach, tomatoes, and sunny-side-up egg nestled between slices of sourdough bread.
Adding to the ambiance is a stunning mural that reflects Georgian culture. The sun symbolizes Georgia’s enduring spirit and rich heritage while dancers celebrate the vibrant history of dance choreography that has thrived for centuries.
Lastly, don't miss out on Chvishtari—an exquisite cornmeal cake from Svaneti served with poached egg, smoked salmon, and fresh arugula. It’s a perfect example of how Laliko beautifully marries tradition with modern culinary flair.
