Georgian 1 Bakery — Restaurant in New York

Last Thursday August 21, everything from Salads, Veggies and Meat Jello, soups and Baked Khachapuri and Spinach Pies were sooo oversalted that after few bites for afternoon late lunch (and I skip dinner) I have gained 2.5 kg of water overnight and high blood pressure. All time after the food I was incredibly thirsty which usually doesn't happen when I eat out in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Legs and body swelled at night with edema and even shoes didn't fit next morning. I gave it a day break and had my other home food I normally eat and at least 1.5 kg water weight was lost. I tried again the bite size of these foods on a generous fresh Salad of my Lettuce and Tomatoes just after 5 on Friday and then the same just taste of oversalted food and thirst, and so much salt as my Kidneys were literally shut off in shock, and I will have to through out $100 worth of food I bought for the weekend when I planned not to cook (which now I will have too), except for sweet pastry which is ok - not too sweet and modestly expensive. I will change my rating if the Management returns the cooking by their old experienced cooks with their recipes and by chefs who don't prioritize food conservation with 5 x the usual amount of salt for several days over authentic traditional spices as Food here used too be known with Aroma of authentic Spices of Herbs, rather than too much Salt in every single bite and immediate regret for your thirst indicated tons of unhealthy pressure on your heart and your kidneys and your legs. I also would recommend metal instead of plastic trays or containers if preserving food fresh is the chief concern in the fridge and lower fridge temperature rather than 5x the usual amount of salt. For now I will be getting my food for occasional treats next door or on Brighton in our usual spots or Kings Highway as 2nd night and feeling salt and kidney shut down and picturing kidney stones and heart bearing the 5x the usual amount of salt and painfully swelled to an elephant size legs it's just not worth it risking the health. But that's very sad feeling as I recommended this place to my friends and now I understand that they definitely didn't want to travel to Bensonhurst from Brighton 6th and 2nd as they enjoying takeout salad bars there which never disappointed (and food storage there is in metal faster cooling containers) and sales of leftovers every night as they start fresh daily. Just last time when we bought a big batch in April the food was delicious and cooked by Georgian and Eastern European and Russian Fusion Gourmet recipes that we traveled for 1.5 hours specifically to this place since we discovered it years ago as a hidden gem. It used to be really Delicious Georgian and Eastern European Fusion Gourmet Food and Pastry. I used to recommend if you are in the area, you must try their fresh and delicious food. But since April they probably need to get professionals which used to work there before or hire professional chefs who know the taste to Gourmet Food and know not to oversalt batches and follow the...

Hugely flavorful, well-made Georgian food.

I ordered delivery (thank you for delivering so far away!) and got khinkali, homemade sausage, khachapuri, shkmeruli, beet-cabbage-bean salad, spinach-walnut salad, and desserts.

All the hot food arrived hot and everything was so delicious! Dine-in must be even better.

Loved the bright flavor with lots of fresh spices, esp in the khinkali and sausage. The texture of the khachapuri was perfect. For dessert, the Napoleon and eclair were both great - appreciate the mild sweetness.

Haven’t finished the leftovers but I’m already looking forward to ordering again.

Update: I’ve ordered several more times and the food has been consistently awesome. I’ve added the mushroom pie, kababi, and mashed potatoes to my list...

As a vegetarian, it’s hard to find many food options on 86th street that accommodates a vegan/vegetarian diet but there were so many options at the Georgian Deli! It was my first time trying Georgian food and everything was delicious!! The person who helped me was also very kind and helpful which made the overall experience so lovely. I’ll definitely be returning and enjoying their other menu items! As an Asian person, I really recommend this to anyone who would like to experience new delicious foods and support our local Bensonhurst...
