Mrs. Georgia - Long Island City (NY)

5 /5 Alyssa D.: First time ever having Georgian food and was not disappointed at all! The staff here were so attentive and explained dishes which was helpful. They were also very cheery and funny. The food was amazing with such rich flavors and I am excited to have them in the neighborhood and to come back! Everything was delicious.

5 /5 Allison L.: Mrs. Georgia is the best kept secret in New York City! The adjaruli khachapuri and imeruli khachapuri are must trys. They are rich, creamy homemade cheese and the bread is perfectly baked and yeasty. The khinkal are juicy, gigantic soup dumplings that are incredibly savory and delicious—I especially appreciated their vegetarian options. We ordered two plates at first and ended up getting two more because they were so good! The mushroom and cheese are so satisfying for vegetarians and unlike anything you can order elsewhere. Their pumpkin soup is divinely velvety resembling a creamy butternut squash. We also loved their double fried fries and arepa cornbread, which pairs well with salad or soup. Their selection of Georgian wine is also not to be missed! As amazing as the food is the ambiance, it is cozy, clean, and incredibly inviting. We spent hours just leisurely chatting and eating. Even the bathroom was remarkably decorated, with little details like Parisian perfume sprays in the handwashing station. I really appreciate how much thought they put into everything! For a large meal for five, it came out to just over $35 per person, which was a steal for how much food we got. I make the trip to Brighton Beach every time I miss Georgian food, but I’m so excited that Mrs. Georgia has brought the best Georgian food to Astoria, Queens!

3 /5 Sacred Heart: I have mixed feelings about Mrs. Georgia. It’s great for the neighborhood, and I’m happy it is there. The service was stellar — attentive but never obtrusive. As other reviewers have noted, the prices are high for the quality and volume of the food. Equal to or higher than the prices at Georgian restaurants I have been to in Manhattan. The food is good, but not so good that the prices are justified. Note: Georgian wine is as good as any in the world. Food good, service great. But I doubt I’ll go back. Maybe I was there on a bad night, but an employee so messed with the otherwise pleasant ambience of the place that by the end of the meal, I couldn’t wait to escape. To me, it’s just irritating as hell when somebody in a restaurant is making noise with their telephone. Maybe they feel the need to subject everyone in the restaurant to their conversation. Maybe they want to watch a TV show. Maybe they want to listen to THEIR music, so they decide everyone else is going to listen to it too. Maybe they want to use it to make the kids shut up. Whatever, it just seems totally inappropriate and disruptive. At Mrs. Georgia, a woman who appeared to be an employee, maybe even a proprietor, was doing exactly that, and everyone in the restaurant could hear it. HAD to hear it, whether we wanted to or not. The restaurant had music on, but she was conversing on the (speaker!) phone and playing HER music in competition with the restaurant music, which was kind of nice music. By the end of the meal, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It really makes me appreciate those few restaurants that limit phone usage in the dining area. Mrs. Georgia is NOT one of those restaurants. But if you’re more tolerant than I am, give it a try.

5 /5 Steven Serling: Such a great addition to Astoria! Been a few times now and the food here is hearty and flavorful. The khinkali soup dumplings and adjaruli khachapuri-the cheesy bread boat with egg are standouts. But on a cold evening their stew options are worth a try. Just make sure you order some bread with the stews so you can dip! The front of the restaurant may look empty, but don’t worry, everyone is sitting in the large back room!
