“We had such a nice dinner at Chama Mama. It was one of those meals where you order a few things for the table and just enjoy tasting everything. We started with stuffed grape leaves, then had khinkali, the big Georgian dumplings with broth inside, which were really fun and delicious. We also tried two different stews, including one with chicken, and both were rich and comforting. The khachapuri with egg and cheese was probably one of my favorite parts :) the server mixed it at the table, and it was warm, cheesy, and so good. We also ordered wine, and the sommelier helped us choose something that worked really well with the food. For dessert, we shared a layered chocolate cake slice, which was a great way to finish. Yes it was a tasty, relaxed, and very enjoyable evening. Great service, good food, and definitely a place I’d be happy to visit again.”

“🇬🇪 A Georgian Culinary Journey in Chelsea If you’re looking to break away from the usual dinner routine, Chama Mama is an absolute must. We came here for a work dinner of four, and it was the perfect blend of a professional atmosphere and a genuinely fun, unique vibe. The Highlights: • The Food: Traditional Georgian flavors that feel both adventurous and comforting. Every dish was a conversation starter. • The Service: Truly top-tier. Our server was originally from Georgia and treated us like guests in their own home. They were incredibly patient, helping us navigate the menu and giving us "the whole 9 yards" on the proper way to eat the traditional dishes. • The Drinks & Vibe: Relaxed yet polished. The environment is pleasant, the drinks are great, and it’s a fantastic spot for groups. 🍰 Don't Skip Dessert: You have to order the Napoleon cake. It is quite literally to die for—it has the perfect amount of crunch and flavor without being overly sweet. It was the highlight of the night! Verdict: 5/5 stars. Great food, even better service. Highly recommended for team dinners or anyone wanting a delicious "culinary trip" to Tbilisi without leaving Manhattan. 🥂”

“We absolutely loved Chama Mama! First time having Georgian food. So much to love. Flavorful food, honest craftsmanship, stunning drinks, incredibly friendly staff, beautiful design of the space. While I've seen and understand criticisms of the steep pricepoint for "homey" food, the investment in a meal at Chama Mama is worth the authentic experience, and most of all the DELECTABLE food. Stars of the show were the Beef Kharcho Soup (delicious tomato flavor, hint of spice, stewed beef, wheat), the Khinkali (excellently spiced beef & pork in our case, bathing in a wonderful meat broth inside the dumpling wrapper), and the Khachapuri (cheesy, delicious bread, a must-try food experience), and don't sleep on the mocktails and lemonades. Fantastic restaurant, from the food all the way to the branding.”

“Honestly, it was a great experience. Georgian cuisine has some amazing dishes, and they are very well executed here,especially the Adjaruli khachapuri! The atmosphere was nice and quiet, which made it easy to have a good conversation. Definitely a solid option to try in NYC”
