Happy Independence Day, Georgia 🇬🇪
We love Georgia loudly, proudly, obsessively. And we’re here to make New York love Georgia as much as we do.
It’s beautiful to watch New York fall for it too — the khinkali, the khachapuri, the wine, the warmth, and everything that makes Georgia so impossible not to love.

📸 thank you for the photo.

Eggplant pkhali is one of those dishes that feels simple at first — until you take the first bite.
Roasted eggplant, walnuts, garlic, herbs, and Georgian spices come together in a spread that is earthy, bright, and deeply flavorful. It has that soft, smoky richness from the eggplant, balanced by the freshness of herbs and the gentle texture of walnuts.
We shape it into neat little rounds, finish it with pomegranate, and serve it as something small, beautiful, and very easy to fall in love with.

Pick your mood — both are very much Laliko.
New World Margarita — Mijenta Blanco infused with watermelon, De Kuyper Triple Sec, fresh watermelon, and lime. Bright, juicy, and fruit-forward, with a clean citrus finish.
Laliko Highball — Bombay Sapphire infused with Oishii strawberry, strawberry-tarragon lassi, lemon, and Badger Club soda. Creamy, crisp, botanical, and quietly herbal.

Our Megruli Kharcho has a new name: Veal in Bazhe Sauce.
We know, we know — for a lot of people, kharcho means soup. So we made peace with it. But the dish itself is still exactly what you remember: tender veal, rich walnut bazhe sauce, elarji, green adjika.
Honestly, ask anyone who works here what to order — this is usually one of the first things we’ll tell you.

When you want everything. At once.

A reminder for the weekend: khash is on brunch.
Deeply rich, slow-cooked, warming, and restorative — the kind of soup that makes perfect sense after a long Friday or Saturday night.
Have it on its own, or as part of our Hangover Kit with khinkali, house pickles, fresh bread, and a shot of chacha.
Available Saturday and Sunday, 12–4 PM.
It’s not a cure.
But it helps.

Today feels like the right day to share her.
This is Kartlis Deda — Mother of Georgia — watching over Tbilisi with a cup of wine for friends and a sword for those who come with bad intentions.
Photo by — thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of our favorite city with us.
And since there are more of you here now, we thought it was time to bring a little more Georgia to your feed. We’ll be sharing more photos, more stories, and more of where we come from — the places, traditions, and little details that shaped us.
So you can know us better, feel us better, and maybe fall in love with Georgia a little more too.

Honey Of The Forgotten
Dark rum, wild honey, chocolate, spice — basically, a love story with better lighting.
Aged Santa Teresa 1796 brings the deep, polished warmth; chocolate adds something dark and velvety; fermented honey and pineapple skin give it that bright, wild edge; and cherry bark vanilla finishes it softly, with a little mystery.
It starts smooth, turns aromatic, and somehow gets more interesting with every sip. Rich, unexpected, and very easy to remember — despite the name 😅

Some things don’t need reinvention.
Lobio — one of the pillars of Georgian cuisine. Slow-cooked beans, deeply seasoned, rich without being heavy.
Naturally vegetarian, effortlessly satisfying.
Ours is exactly how it should be — and we’re very proud of it!
Come try.

To serve this Georgian dish known as khachapuri adjaruli, you drop an egg yolk and some cold butter into the molten cheese and stir it into a gooey, stretchy cheese puddle. https://nyti.ms/4m2ZRdG

Year one — so far, so good.

We know. You’ve seen this before.
But look at it again.
Grilled oyster mushrooms, glazed in green tkemali — bright, tangy, just a little wild. Not the most traditional Georgian dish, and we’re perfectly fine with that.
Our vegan guests love it. We do too.
For very good reasons.

Two cocktails. No wrong choice.
The green one — “Last Word of Georgia”:
chacha, Luxardo, dry vermouth, lime, tarragon, a touch of demerara and triple sec. Bright, sharp, slightly herbal.
The orange one — “Georgian Airways”:
chacha infused with shiso and lavender, Amante 1530, lemon, Amaro Nonino. Softer, deeper, a little more mysterious.
Pick your mood — both land perfectly.

Weekends, handled properly.
Our brunch now comes with a Hangover Kit — because we respect your Friday and Saturday nights.
A deeply rich khash, slow-cooked for hours!!! with pepper, garlic, and herbs — a traditional Georgian hangover soup, rich in collagen and unapologetically restorative.
Served with freshly baked bread, a couple of classic beef and pork khinkali, house pickles — and, of course, a shot of chacha.
We’ve been there. This is the right way to do brunch after a long night.
It’s not a cure.
But it helps.

Our kind of spring.
Soliko — an amber wine from Imereti, made in qvevri with light skin contact.
Citrus, orchard fruit, bright acidity — precise and effortless. A modern expression of a very old winemaking tradition.
One of our favorite wines right now, and it feels exactly right for this season.

Simple things, done properly.
Our lamb chops — perfectly grilled, served with asparagus sautéed in butter and a smooth ajapsandali cream.

A proper start to the week.
We gave our veranda a little love — cleaned, trimmed, replanted, and let it breathe again. The flowers are back in shape, the light feels right, and we’re quietly counting down to proper New York spring.
As soon as the temperature behaves — you know where to find us.

Thank you for being part of our very first year.
They say the first year is the hardest. Ours was also the wildest.
Looking back at our camera roll — press features, bloggers sending our dishes into orbit, events we never imagined we’d be part of. What a year.
But the best part was much simpler: endless lunches, long dinners, and all the moments you shared with us. Your stories, your reviews, your celebrations at our tables. That’s the real magic.
Tonight at 8 PM we’re cutting a giant Napoleon to celebrate.
Everyone joining us tonight gets a glass of Georgian Pet-Nat on us.
If you’re around — stop by. Just a small, friendly little gathering. Thank you for being part of our very first year. 🫂

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.
