First time coming here yesterday as our friends keep Kosher. I lucked out with street metered parking right in front. There is a parking lot down the street that is fairly inexpensive.
Everything was absolutely delicious. The portions are large. We started with the Marani sampler and bread which was hot and fluffy. The sampler dips were all flavorful. There is a big cilantro flavor pallet here so be mindful for those who don’t like cilantro. We also ordered a version of soup dumplings which were hearty and warmed the soul. The sides were good too-rice, sweet potato fries (thick cut) and fried potatoes and mushrooms.
For entrees we for chicken breast skewers, salmon skewers-both grilled perfectly. Simple seasonings which enriched their natural flavors. We also got the lamb shanks which fell off the bone and did not have a gamey taste to it.
Overall a great dinner. Reservations good for a large group

Wow! Phenomenal restaurant with really unique traditional Georgian cuisine. We tried so many dishes we had never heard of and all of them were delicious! If I could remember the names of the dishes I’d recommend them, but honestly whatever you order you can’t go wrong. Everything was served hot & fresh, had lots of flavor, was well spiced, and the portion sizes were very generous. Great service and patient staff as well. Truly an enjoyable experience!

Very delicious, they did a cute birthday thing for my friends birthday. A bit pricey but great vibes.

So I have really mixed views.
The food is absolutely delicious, and for that quality, it is really affordable. I love that.
However, the big issue is the customer service; the workers were talking crap behind our backs in Russian and Georgian, thinking that my group did not understand them, and the food kept arriving with an attitude. Even though we were really respectful and didn’t do anything to deserve that attitude?
The place was extremely noisy. Maybe we were just at the wrong time, but they had many kids running around the tables, pushing and screaming. I’m all for kids as long as they behave. Where were the parents or the manager, and why did I have to enjoy that soundtrack for an hour? I have no idea
But overall, I’m willing to give it another try, as the food was incredibly nostalgic and delicious, especially since I’m from Tbilisi myself

Not our first time visiting this restaurant, and just like prior times it was great. The food, the service, the atmosphere…
For appetizers we had roasted beet arugula salad and kubdari (Imeruli style beef pie), and even though they both are simple dishes, they were delicious. Khinkali were superb, and chashushuli (braised beef with spices) just melted in the mouth.
Monday night and the place is packed, so if you want to get a table you better call or go online and make a reservation.

The beet salad wasn’t fresh, the beets tasted like canned beets no sweetness in it. The kabobs are amazing, great value and very juicy and tender.
I felt like the rest of the entrées are a bit overpriced for what it is. Total cost of the meal was over 100 for two people

Okay food. Big family portions. “Homely” in terms of flavor. Best to get food to go. Almost no service. The lack of service and explanation of the menu was not the best experience. Waiters just sat around. The lady filled the water. Not sure what I’m tipping for. And they forgot to pack my eggplant (the best dish) left over to go ☹️.
Booked a table for 2 almost a month in advance due their limited hours. Came on a Thursday evening. Not crowded at all. A reservation doesn’t seem necessary because it was only us and 2 other tables. Even past 6pm it was just 3 tables including us. It was practically empty.
We ordered the eggplant appetizer with pomegranate and was really great. We also had the freshly baked bread. Which was enough for a table of 4. The appetizers really made an impression in terms of flavor and texture. Went incredibly well with the freshly baked Georgian bread! This combo was the best from the whole meal.
We got the meat pie/bowl with the egg. This was hearty, beefy, and flavorful. Really freshly made and came out piping hot. Excellent to share and good enough as an entree. This was another winner.
The soup dumplings were interesting at best. Why no spoon with this dish? How am supposed to eat this with the juices all over the plate? Didn’t seem right. They were big and beefy and came with 6. Juicy but the juices just ran all over with the knife and fork or am I supposed to eat with my hands? Not the best experience here. Or maybe I’m missing something?
Finally, we had the lamb shank. Big enough for 4! Came with fries in on the bottom. This was fall off the bone tender. Not gamey. Lightly seasoned. There was a side of onion salad and cranberry sauce. Hearty and tender. Though rice is not included. I would describe this as “homely” in terms of flavor.
The first two dishes really stood out; eggplant app and the meat bowl. The dumplings and lamb shanks were more “home style” in flavor. Huge portions but didn’t really stand out in terms of flavor.
The food was good with big portions. The price is almost justified. Almost. But the experience in the restaurant was not good at all. Would probably be better to order to go and eat at home and save yourself the tip and the waiting. The waiters just sat around until they need to bring out the food. The lady did mostly everything. And finally they forgot to pack the delicious eggplant appetizer even though there were 1/2 left .

Omg – you HAVE to come here! Such an authentic blend of flavor, presentation and impeccable service. Truly loved this place – felt like I was in someone’s home enjoying their delicious cuisine. We had just about everything – most of it I can’t pronounce but was delicious. Highly recommend the lamb chops, pimelimi (fried balls of meat), they also have a dish with an egg on top in a bread bowl which was AMAZING and I wouldn’t miss the Shish kabobs!! Check it out, you won’t be upset!

This restaurant is such a hidden gem!! I’ve been to the Rego Park mall so many times but never thought to see what was behind it. I’m so glad that we decided to check out Marani. First of all, the customer service was impeccable! My friend and I were saying that it felt like we were in Europe, lol. The staff were attentive and didn’t rush us through our meal. The restaurant was relatively quiet when we visited, which was nice. I liked the layout and simplicity of the decor. All of the food that we tried, with the exception of one thing, were amazingly delicious. We had the eggplant with a nut puree and pomegranate seeds as an appetizer (easily a five-star dish!), followed by the lamb and salmon kebabs, sweet potato fries, and bulgur with spinach and mushrooms. Everything was super tasty! We also tried the Georgian bread, fried cornbread (only thing we weren’t a fan of), cigarette dessert, and local seltzer water. I hope to go back and try more of their delicious cuisine!!

Great atmosphere and service. The cocktail Psycho Georgian was delicious, as were the Pelmini. Generous portions.
