Lovely restaurant with attentive service. Dumplings were very good and fun! The rest of the food was good but not exceptional but a nice experience of Georgian food.

My third visit to restaurant to celebrate friend's birthday. Quiet lunch but very attentive server. We started with Pkhali traditional Georgian spread it cones in choices of spinach/eggplant/beet, we choose eggplant order their freshly baked bread that is topped with garlic and rosemary super delighted it arrived to the table hot went well with the spread & ordered a second piece because you going to needed for the sauces of other dishes. For Main choose Chicken with Elarji which is crispy chicken served with rich walnut sauce quite delightful. Other main dish was Shkmeruli crispy pan seared chicken filled in creamy garlic sauce, it also comes in spiced blackberry sauce which is alot but is not as spicy as it says in menu you can always ask for their hot sauce which it improved the taste with the blackberry. Here comes the bread where you will delicioulsy dip into walnut sauce and blackberry. The amazing Mushroom Khinkali in rich truffle sauce was superb. The dessert napoleon light and quite delicious..we also ordered mint tea wich came in a tea pot amazing aromas of fresh leaves. Laliko is a place to explore every dish a must plus their Georgian wines are very unique indigenous grapes must try. Thank you for making a delightful afternoon memorable. We'll be back again and again. Their background music is also great.

Laliko never disappoints. The food is consistently high quality, beautifully prepared, and always served hot and full of flavor. You can tell real care goes into every plate, and that consistency is what keeps me coming back. The staff truly elevates the experience. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive without hovering. A special mention goes to Mari & Milan, who is an outstanding servers. He's personable, knowledgeable, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish. Service like his turns a great meal into a great experience. This is a place that gets both food and hospitality right. If you're looking for excellent food paired with a warm, professional team, Laliko is a must.

So unique. Every dish was particularly special, definitely something you can't experience anywhere else.

My wife met a couple of many years' acquaintance for an early dinner. Two of us were born in Russia, and the American-born two studied Russian decades ago in college and worked in Moscow in the 90s. The awesome wait staff knew Russian so we had great fun messing with the language.

Very cozy restaurant in the heart of West Village with excellent Georgian cuisine. The best were their khinkalis!
Janel
Delicious food and great service! A little pricey but the chill vibe (and again, great food) helps make up for it.

This was our first experience with Georgian food and it was delightful! The khinkali (broth-and-beef-filled dumplings) were a fine appetizer; the tomato and cucumber salad was delicious; and our entrees were the shkmeruli, the megruli kharcho, and the chicken mtsvadi. Not knowing anything about the cuisine, we wondered/ worried about whether it would be heavy and coarse, like hearty stews. It was the opposite of that! Delicately spiced and not too filling. A lovely surprise and a learning experience for all three of us!

Great spot! Laliko is a fantastic find in the West Village. The khinkali and Adjaruli khachapuri were delicious, the atmosphere is warm, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Great Georgian wine selection, tasty dishes, and an overall memorable experience. Highly recommend!
