SUPRA A supra is a traditional Georgian feast, where people gather over abundant food, wine, and toasting. Inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list in 2017, the supra is a key part of Georgian social culture. Regardless of size, a supra is always led by a Tamada - თამადა, or Toastmaster, who orchestrates each toast. "Supra" translates to "the feast" in Georgian, and these gatherings are multi-course, family-style meals that come in "waves of food." Lasting several hours, supras are times of enjoying food, drinks, toasts, and camaraderie, beautifully elevated by the Tamada's ritual toasting. | BREAD Bread, one of humanity's oldest foods, has a history stretching back 30,000 years. Georgia, with its ancient bread and bakery traditions, uses the "Tone" - თონე (tō:ne), a unique clay baking vessel. This traditional method imparts an authentic flavor and distinctive taste to the bread, making it a cherished part of our culinary heritage. Every region in Georgia has its own version of Khachapuri and we are happy to serve majority of them at Chama Mama! Most famous is Adjaruli Khachapuri, featuring hot lava of cheese and an egg, you’ll have a lot of fun mixing those! | WINE No Georgian meal is complete without a taste of the country’s renowned wines. With over 8000 years of winemaking history, Georgia is considered the birthplace of wine, and at Chama Mama, we bring this tradition straight to your table. Our carefully curated selection of Georgian wines, including traditional Qvevri wines, offers a rich and authentic tasting experience. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or a curious beginner, you’ll find the perfect pairing for your meal. |
