• wedding celebration

  We celebrated our wedding at this restaurant — and it was absolute perfection! The food was incredibly delicious and abundant — every guest was blown away. The service was exceptional: warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Everyone made us feel so special and truly cared for. And the ambience created (flowers and candles) was just so touching! We’re endlessly grateful to the entire team for making our celebration unforgettable ❤️

• family style group dinner

  Probably the best Chama Mama location in the city in terms of ambiance and service. My group opted for the family-style menu, and everything was delicious, including the wine pairings. Our waiter was especially helpful, walking us through the different wines and recommending what paired best with each dish. The only downside was the pacing of the food. Everything came out very quickly, which made the meal feel a bit rushed. With so many dishes to share, it would be great if the courses were spaced out more, especially since the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy at the time.

• birthday dinner, party of 7

  upsetting experience. i had a birthday dinner with 6 friends, we were seated at a communal table right by the entrance, which i absolutely hated. there was no warning from the resy app or restaurant that they have such tables and that my party will be seated there when i made the booking. when i said i didn’t like the table host had absolutely no care in the world to help to offer any other options and kept saying it was my fault that i didn’t spesify what table i wanted upfront. the food is mediocre and portions are ridiculously small. as a georgian person who loves georgian food, this was beyond dissapointing. the service was terrible, i had to chase our waitress around to make sure all my friends have food and drinks. no one ever checked or asked how we are doing and if we need anything. i will never come back to this place or any other chama mama locations in the city.

• group dinner, party of 7

  Amazing food and atmosphere . Only downside was our waitress did not really went into detail about how much food we needed . And we ended up adding things at the end . We were a large group of 7 that be said .

• group dinner

  It is rare to find a restaurant that is consistently great for lunch and dinner service in NYC! They do everything they can to accommodate a group and the service and food is impeccable. We had a lovely group dinner here and I’ve had lunch here as well. I’ve always had a wonderful experience. The beautiful decor, ambient lighting and music makes it so enjoyable. Lucky to have this in the neighborhood!
