Chama Mama

Tried this place for the first time last night and loved it. I had never had Georgian food before and loved it. We went with a friend who’s vegetarian and found plenty of things to share and got a round of dumpings that were delicious. The cheese bowl option with the egg in it was absolutely amazing. They have a great cocktail selection as well. We will be back.

I (and my friends) absolutely love Chama Mama — it’s one of our favorite spots. I celebrated my birthday here, and it felt so special with the cozy atmosphere and incredible food, and I also come back just to enjoy a delicious meal anytime. Everything I’ve tried tastes authentic and full of flavor. Their drinks are fantastic too — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the dishes. They even have a fun lottery where, if you spend a certain amount, you get a chance to win a free trip to Georgia — what a delightful surprise! Overall, every visit feels welcoming and memorable.

Love Chama Mama! This was my first time at the Brooklyn location and the food is just as excellent with far less of a crowd! The ambience remains cozy and the front of the restaurant has huge windows - great lighting! We had the beef kebab - perfectly cooked and seasoned and the satsebeli sauce is the perfect accompaniment! We also had the machkatebi (cheese pancakes), adjaruli khachapuri, and boiled lamb khinkali (also perfectly cooked). On the side, we had the crispy smashed potatoes with tkemalili - the combination of perfectly crisped potatoes with the tartness of the tkemalili was a great pairing for the kebab! I also tried the the Georgia 1918 and fresh start mocktails - the first smooth and raspberry-ful and the second like a light mint lemonade. Honestly, there's so much on the

The food and drinks are delicious! The atmosphere is amazing as well. Different seating options, which is great. The customer service is excellent, from the hostess to the waiters. Understandably packed, so be sure to make a reservation. Definitely dining here again soon.

The menu online and the physical menu at the restaurant are slightly different so just pay extra attention if you have any dietary preferences! We were able to do all vegan except for the ice cream dessert…it was very hard to resist trying out the special flavor from Caffe Panna. I loved all the mushroom dishes and the soup was my absolute favorite! Was not used to the cornbread so will skip that in the future. The Brooklyn Heights location was really nice and would be interested in trying out their Manhattan location that’s included in the @michelinguide as well!
