Vegan Georgian options

This was a bit of a revelation. The beetroot dish, roasted cauliflower and mushroom dumplings, in particular, were delicious. Attentive staff that can direct you around the well-labelled vegan options. If I were local, I’d be a regular.

Delicious!

Chama Mama is a great vegan option! I always get the vegan Lobiani with chili oil. It is delicious and super filling. A great atmosphere and lots of outdoor seating as well!

Solid food

The Lobiani (bread with beans inside) is good, make sure you order the vegan version. Also has plenty of staff and hasn’t been very loud when I have visited.

Georgian food

I went to Chama Mama on 14th Street, near 7th Ave. There are at least two of this restaurant in NYC.

The food was very good, with a reasonable selection of marked vegan items. Lots of hearty beans and winter vegetables (I went in the fall, not sure how seasonal the menu is). I especially recommend the bread with beans inside.

Georgia on my Mind

I've been to Chama Mama previously, but never thought of recommending that it be added HappyCow--not because it isn't good, but simply because I rarely suggest adding non-vegetarian venues to HappyCow. Now that Chama Mama it has been added to HappyCow as a vegan-friendly place, however, I am happy to give this Georgian restaurant a good review.

The food here is excellent, and--though it can get a bit busy--the staff is friendly and the atmosphere quite nice. They have a bunch of clearly marked vegan items, and It's best if you can share the plates with others. In all, one of the best vegan-friendly places on the Upper West Side.

Pros: Delicious, elegant, creative food, a bunch of clearly marked vegan items, somewhat upscale venue

Cons: They serve lamb, not inexpensive
