Ubani | Our Story

A Table at the Crossroads of the Caucasus

Georgia—the country, not the state—is recognized as the birthplace of wine and one of the world's oldest culinary traditions, with over 8,000 years of history. At Ubani, we bring that heritage to New York City, one hand-pleated dumpling, freshly baked khachapuri, and shared feast at a time.

Where Georgian Cooking Comes From

Georgia sits between the Black Sea and the Caucasus — a civilization shaped by ancient trade routes, supra feast culture, and wine aged in clay qvevri for over eight millennia.

Bringing Georgia to New York

Ubani opened with a clear mission: give New Yorkers an honest introduction to Georgian cooking — not diluted, but the real thing, made fresh daily from time-honored recipes. Georgian guests themselves call it the most authentic representation of their homeland's cuisine in the city.

Three Neighborhoods, One Kitchen Philosophy

What began as a single dining room now spans the West Village, Midtown, and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. Each location has its own character — the same kitchen philosophy and genuine welcome run through all three.

The Supra — a Feast Meant for Sharing

Georgia—the country, not the state—has been preserving its rich culinary traditions for more than 8,000 years. Ubani proudly brings that heritage to New York City, honoring time-tested recipes, warm hospitality, and the joy of gathering around the table.
