Inspired by travels throughout the Middle East and India and the memories collected from them, the owner opened a new branch of Villa Mamas in 2017 to share the warmth of khaleeji food and hospitality to an international audience.
Based on a tradition of local, seasonal ingredients, we continue to support and champion growers and farmers wherever we may be.
Food is one of the most heartfelt and authentic expressions of tradition, history and culture. To share a meal is to share who we are with others, to tell a story and, at the same time, create new traditions and friendships.
We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Mamas.
