The Old Marani Experience
Our Mission and Story
The word "Marani" refers to the traditional Georgian wine cellar—a place of sanctuary, heritage, and the gathering of friends. Our mission at Old Marani is to recreate that sanctuary here in Brooklyn. We believe that Georgian cuisine is not meant to be changed or "refined" by modern trends; it is meant to be respected. We serve the dishes of our ancestors exactly as they were intended, using high-quality ingredients and the patience that traditional Georgian cooking demands.
Culinary Craftsmanship
Our kitchen is a tribute to the rustic, bold, and comforting food of Georgia:
The Authentic Table: Our menu is a roadmap of Georgian comfort, from hand-folded Khinkali dumplings served with fresh black pepper to crusty Khachapuri filled with high-quality, tangy cheeses.
Charcoal-Grilled Mastery: We believe in the power of the grill. Our kebab platters and grilled meat preparations use traditional spice rubs that highlight the quality of the meat.
Heritage Recipes: We specialize in regional stews, bean-based Lobio, and walnut-rich vegetable Pkhali that taste exactly like a Sunday dinner in a village in Georgia.
A "Marani" Atmosphere: Our space is designed to be comfortable and unpretentious, making it the perfect backdrop for long, leisurely family dinners and celebrations.
