OPENING SPRING 2026
NUMA Modern Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar is an upcoming full-service restaurant opening at The Grove in Shrewsbury, NJ. The concept is inspired by the coastal regions of the Mediterranean, pulling from the flavors and traditions of Italy, Spain, Southern France, Greece, Turkey, and the Middle East. Our goal is to create a restaurant that feels warm, contemporary, and rooted in real culinary identity while delivering high-quality food and thoughtful hospitality.
NUMA will feature an open dining room, two full bars, a semi-outdoor seating area, and a menu built around fresh produce, seafood, grilled elements, bold spices, and bright Mediterranean flavors. We want the experience to feel inviting and energetic, with a focus on execution, consistency, and clean presentation.
The restaurant is being developed by a group of seasoned restaurateurs who are also local to the area. We’re approaching this project with high standards, strong systems, and a focus on building a team-oriented culture. We value leadership, accountability, communication, and a genuine passion for hospitality. The goal is to create a space where guests feel taken care of and where the team is supported, trained, and empowered to deliver their best work.
NUMA offers a professional environment with opportunities to grow and a team committed to doing things the right way. We are looking for individuals who take pride in their craft, want to be part of a new opening, and are motivated to help bring a fresh Mediterranean concept to life. Every role in the restaurant contributes directly to the guest experience and the long-term success of the operation.
