About Chama Mama:

Chama Mama is a collection of cozy family restaurants that pays tribute to Georgian culture and the art of hospitality. Our menu draws inspiration from Georgia’s rich culinary heritage, blending diverse regional influences with home-made traditions rooted in an authentically artisanal way of life.

At Chama Mama, we live by the Georgian saying: "A guest is a gift from God." Hospitality isn't just what we do — it’s who we are. We aim to surprise and delight, to connect and enlighten — and now, we’re bringing that same spirit to a new concept: a Chama Mama Grab & Go shop.
