Comforting Georgian classics with standout khachapuri and khinkali; flavorful food but inconsistent, often slow service—great if you value the cuisine, less so if you demand polished pacing.
Ubani delivers excellent food quality anchored by benchmark khachapuri and khinkali that justify the trip to West Village, but quality variation in stews and breads alongside inconsistent service pacing prevent grade A territory. The cozy, romantic atmosphere and strong destination appeal for Georgian cuisine make it a solid neighborhood favorite, though execution gaps keep it from competing with the area's most polished dining establishments.
One caveat: Service inconsistency: long waits to order and for checks appear in multiple reports
