“Absolutely loved Sihana Bistro. Beautifully designed place, cozy, stylish, and full of warmth. I tried the Lychee Martini and Espresso Martini — both were perfectly balanced and delicious. The food was outstanding: the Khinkali were juicy and flavorful, the Adjarian Khachapuri cheese boat was rich and comforting, and the Oyster Mushroom Salad was fresh and full of taste. Highly recommend!”
“Have you met Georgian food yet? You need to! Warm and cozy, bread butter and cheese, what’s not to love?! The restaurant itself is modern and minimal yet intimate and warm. The service is great and the cocktail list is strong. Still one of my most memorable meals!”
“First time visiting this spot and it is absolutely delicious! Came here for lunch and the salads and bowls are fantastic! Bar service was also really good! Would highly recommend this spot. Plus a lot of healthy options too. I had the Salmon Bowl which was hands down delicious!”
“Beautiful corner restaurant with great lighting and even better food. The Georgian appetizers were all hits — especially the fried mushroom salad, beetroot hummus, and imeruli — and the service was diligent and warm. Super close to NJPAC, making it a great choice for a pre-theater dinner. Can’t wait to return!”
“Came here for impromptu dinner and everything was delicious. We had the chicken parmigiana and the Sihana burger. Looking forward to coming back.”
