Marani Restaurant

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 f

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!

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.
