Meama

Our visit was an absolute blast! The place had this warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious - we couldn’t stop talking about how tasty it was. This place is a hidden gem! It’s unique and super good. I’ve never had modern Georgian food as flavorful and interesting as this. We had the Georgian salad, which was a mix of traditional and new flavors. The meat, mushroom, and spinach dumplings were all great, and the khachapuri dish with pear, honey, and blue cheese was the star of the show. And for dessert, we had the bask cheese cake brûlée, which was absolutely incredible! We’re definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu. A special shoutout to Saba, our server, who made our evening truly memorable!

Stopped by to try Georgian food for the first time. Saba, the bartender was incredibly helpful and patient on explaining the food and wine. And the experience was just fantastic. I had the beef and pork dumplings with Georgian beer which really hit the spot. Then I got the red Georgian wine with cheese boat with great taste and texture.

My new favorite spot in NYC! The atmosphere was so lovely, the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious! I visited with my family and we had Eggplant rolls with walnut, Pkhali Trio, Adjaruli Khachapuri and Chikhirtma. Everything was delicious but eggplant rolls and Chikhirtma were my favorite! I highly recommend their cocktails too, I had Pelamushi (a wine cocktail) and I’m definitely coming back for this one. Also their Basque cheesecake tasted as good as one I had in San Sebastian! 10/10

I loved the restaurant! Exquisite food, different from what we usually get. The people working here are so nice! And the wine, OMG! Did you know that Georgia has a 8,000 years tradition in wine making? Definitely a place to be visited!

We celebrated my birthday at Meama with over 30 Turkish friends, and it was amazing! The food was super tasty – we especially loved the khinkali and khachapuri. The service was great too. The staff were friendly, helpful, and really took care of us, even with such a big group. The place has a nice vibe and beautiful decoration. Everyone had a great time and left very happy. Thanks to the Meama team for making my birthday so special. We’ll definitely come back!

We’ve been to quite a few Georgian restaurants before. This one is definitely one of the best ones in the city. All the food we tried was fresh and delicious, the people are super friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful time. Definitely get the basque cheesecake for desert - it’s to die for.

The cornish hen with the blackberry sauce was really memorable! I was worried at first because the sauce looked like it'd be overpowering, but it was actually pretty light and a great addition to the chicken, which I thought was cooked well. The adjarian khachapuri was also TO DIE FOR. Probably one of the best I've had. The beef mtsvadi was on the drier side. I liked the flavor, but wouldn't order again. We also had the eggplant with tomato sauce appetizer. It was served cold, which I didn't expect, but that's on me for not knowing. It wasn't bad but wasn't great, it was just okay. Our server Saba(?) was pleasant and answered our questions thoughtfully. He also gave us extra bread, which I'm guessing was made in-house. It was pretty good! Overall would recommend this place!

Happy hour featured a Georgian lager and an Adjaruli Khachapuri. The Adjaruli Khachapuri was a cheesy, salty good meal. The lager was reminiscent of a cream ale or Kolsch rather than the Czech or German pilsners. Having opened a week ago this place is not yet well known but I think that will change.
