Aragvi

7.5/10Eastern European

AI-generated summary

Georgian food two blocks from Grand Central, and plenty of people call it their favorite Georgian in the city. The come up most, a little more flavorful and slightly cheaper than Chama Mama's. It isn't cheap though, and a few people found it overpriced and the khachapuri small. The dining room is nothing special.

    replying to u/CabassoG: Saperavi is easily the best of all the Georgian spots in Manhattan. Didn't have a bad dish there and they had the best version or among the best versions of shkmeruli, ostri, and kupati with an excellent khachapuri and everything else was really solid also. The only spot better is deep in BK (Tone Cafe.) Chito is a but pricey and the portions are smaller than most other Georgian places but the food is pretty solid. I personally don't get how enamored everyone else with Chama. The food is fine but they're almost more of a Georgian wine bar and outside of their pretty solid khachapuri, I don't think the rest of the food is that good.

    “Been there before. Super overpriced and kind of flavorless. They also overcharged us for something we didn't order. Surprised it has such good reviews on Google”

    “Aragvi hands down. Chama mama is a very close second, I love it. But Aragvi’s khinkali I think has just a little more flavor than Chama Mama’s and is slightly cheaper.”
