Sunny House — Restaurant in New York

One of the best Georgian restaurants in Brooklyn!

We visited Sunny House for my uncle’s birthday celebration in April 2025, and again for my own birthday in September. The first visit was a banquet letting us sample most of the menu. On the second visit, I completed the list. On both occasions the food was consistently fresh, full of flavor, and overall delicious. It’s impressive how they maintain such a high quality across every dish - including dessert and even tea. A few dishes absolutely stood out: Khinkali (both beef and lamb), Megrelian Khachapuri, Adjaruli Khachapuri, Veal Stew (Chashashuli), and Baby Lamb Chops.

The interior is warm and nicely decorated, creating a cozy ambiance. The table setup feels like a proper restaurant, rather than a casual café vibe usual for Georgian spots. The two dining rooms layout allows for some privacy if you host a party. There is nice live music on weekend evenings, but it's very loud. Even in the inner room with doors closed, the music makes it hard to hear each other. If quieter setting to talk and socialize is important - arrive before the music starts.

Service is polite, friendly, and attentive, though it can lag during busy evenings. On non-banquet visit, the entrées arrived immediately after hot appetizers and khachapuri, leaving no time to enjoy the starters while they were still hot. Not sure why it's done that way, probably cultural norm. To have sufficient time to focus on appetizers explicitly ask the staff not to rush the entrees.

I highly recommend Sunny House for its high-quality Georgian cuisine and beautiful, welcoming ambiance!

Dishes tried

Salads & Cold Starters Georgian salad with Burrata - good Georgian salad with Walnuts - good Gebzhalia - delicious! A new dish for me an interesting flavor combo. Eggplant rolls with walnuts - excellent! Assorted Pkhali - good. Satsivi - excellent! Flavorful, fresh, and perfectly textured sauce. Assorted Smoked Fish

Khachapuri & Breads Imeruli Khachapuri - excellent, though the Megrelian was even better! Megrelian Khachapuri - one of the best I ever had! Fresh perfect dough generously filled with cheese inside and on top - truly delicious! Adjaruli Khachapuri - excellent dough and cheese filling! Only wish they put cheese inside the edges of the boat as well. Chvishtari (cornbread with cheese) - great. Fresh Georgian Bread – especially good with sauces like satsivi, shkmeruli, Megrelian Kharcho, Chashashuli.

Hot Starters, Soups & Sides Lobio - warm and flavorful! Potatoes with Mushrooms - delicious! A simple dish elevated with garlic, grilled peppers, and fresh herbs. Grilled mushroom with sulguni cheese - good Fried Calamari - okay Soup Kharcho - well -balanced classic kharcho with generous amount of meat. The meat pieces could be larger and fattier for a juicier texture. Chakapuli - very good and flavorful. Served as a soup here though I've had it as a stew before.

Mains & Grilled Dishes Khinkali with Beef / with Lamb - this was another hit! Certainly one of the best khinkali I've tried! Flavorful, well-textured, and full of juice.. Lamb version is quite spicy. Chicken Shkmeruli - very tasty. Megrelian Kharcho - excellent! Rich sauce with a bold Georgian spice blend. Same note on meat texture as the regular kharcho. Veal Stew (Chashashuli) - absolutely amazing! Tender veal that melts in your mouth. The sauce is a magical combo of veggies and Georgian spices creating a unique delicious flavor. I think it’s one of the best dishes at Sunny House. Lamb Chops - outstanding! Juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. Mixed Grill platter (chicken kebab, pork kebab, baby lamb chops, lulya kebab in lavash with grilled peppers) - everything on the platter including grilled peppers was awesome and delicious! Grilled Trout with Grilled Vegetables - well-prepared and fresh.

Dessert Napoleon Cake - very fresh and fluffy. The filling didn’t resemble the classic buttery Napoleon, but...

I frequently visit the sheepshead Bay Area for the wide selection of cuisines, one that has always had a place in my heart, and my stomach is Georgian. This restaurant is incredible at mimicking the home style food we all know and love. I started out with the house salad, khinkhali and the khachapuri everything was delicious. Following this I had the lamb chops served with a zesty and refreshing sauce that went perfectly with the lamb. Aside from the food I have a walnut allergy and our waitress informed me if I chose a dish with a nut in general. Other Georgian restaurants like oda house a few blocks down handle this terribly. In summery this was an amazing and...
