• $79 For A 3 Course Dinner For Two With Cocktails, Wines, Beers (a $141 value)

Meama has arrived as a quietly dazzling newcomer to the East Village dining scene, and since opening has already earned praise from Eater and The Infatuation for its thoughtful take on Georgian cuisine. It’s the kind of place that feels instantly lived-in yet undeniably fresh, where centuries-old culinary traditions are reimagined with a light, modern touch. The result is a menu that is both transportive and perfectly at home in Manhattan.

Inside, the space buzzes with warmth and intention. Butterscotch banquettes invite you to sink in and stay awhile, while the room fills with the low, steady rhythm of conversation and clinking glasses. On sunnier days, tables spill out onto the street, offering a front-row seat to the East Village’s unmistakable energy, while the backyard provides a more tucked-away escape, ideal for lingering through golden evenings and warm nights.

At the heart of the kitchen is Chef George, a master of Georgian cuisine whose approach balances reverence and creativity. His dishes highlight tender, slow-cooked meats, pristine fish, and crisp produce, each plate layered with depth and quiet precision. Recipes passed down through generations are treated with care, then gently refined to suit the sensibilities of a contemporary New York palate.

Behind it all are sisters Marika and Nino Gochiashvili, alongside Marie Laliashvili, whose vision brings both authenticity and intimacy to your rendezvous. Meama takes Georgian food to another level, telling a story of heritage and evolution. Every bite feels rooted in tradition, yet alive with possibility, preserving the soul of Georgia while embracing the spirit of now.

The drinks program is just as impressive, with inventive Georgian cocktails that weave in native herbs, spices, and unexpected infusions. Alongside them, a hyper-curated selection of Georgian wines takes center stage, spotlighting rare varietals and ancient winemaking techniques that date back thousands of years.

Forks at the ready, drinks in hand, a night worth remembering...

• "A beautiful place with an inviting atmosphere and truly delicious food. Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. Desserts were a highlight as well. The signature Napoleon cake was light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. The Pelamushi cocktail was a lovely surprise — creative, well-balanced, and a great nod to the traditional Georgian grape dessert. To top it all off, the selection of traditional Georgian wines was fantastic. A wonderful spot for anyone looking to experience Georgian cuisine with a modern, refined touch. Highly recommend!"

• "Amazing atmosphere, staff were friendly and attentive. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Lamb shank was a masterpiece, slow cooked, flavorful, tender and huge portion. Highly recommend for flavor seekers! Huge organic Georgian Wine selection. Thank you Chef and Team for creativity and high class presentations! We'll be returning soon!"

• "Fantastic experience. I knew something special was about to take place. I have been to every Georgian restaurant in the city (and Georgia itself) and this was as close to the source as I could find. Impeccable. Our server Ana was fantastic, attentive, warm, and welcoming. Great ambiance, really the perfect date spot. Go here you won’t regret it!"
