 Voted consistently as one of the best restaurants in Chicago, owners Michael and Carrie Nahabedian invite you to experience NAHA.
Tremendous design and architecture showcase the stunning New
American cuisine which is influenced by the Mediterranean.
Carrie Nahabedian

Most recently executive chef of the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, Carrie Nahabedian returned to her native Chicago for the enterprise. Her impressive resume spans more than 24 years and is peppered with names like the Ritz-Carlton, Le Perroquet, Le Francais, Sinclair's and the Four Seasons Hotel, where she served as executive chef for three company properties.
Chef Carrie's cooking style is a combination of her Armenian roots and a California lifestyle that she enjoyed during her years as executive chef for the Four Season's Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills properties.


Carrie Nahabedian and cousin Michael Nahabedian opened NAHA, in the space that formerly housed Chicago's distinguished Gordon restaurant. Naha offers a seasonal American menu with influences of the Mediterranean, and effortlessly blends the culinary, design and management talents of the cousins Nahabedian.
The warm and comfortable surroundings allow for small intimate gatherings as well as larger groups seating up to 65. NAHA accommodates a variety of custom-designed events, including dinners, cocktail parties, luncheons and business meetings.
Event information: Lisa Smith, private dining director 312.321.6242.

“Creative” chef-partner Carrie Nahabedian’s “amazing” seasonal New American “dining with daring Mediterranean touches” tempts travelers to her “flat-out superb” River North “keeper”, where “the Queer Eye guys would be proud of” the “streamlined”, “simple” “Zen-like” decor; sure, her “food is pricey” but most meditate it’s “worth the splurge” ...


Expect “unfussy”, “innovative fine dining” at this River North “favorite” that’s considered “consistently among the best”; Carrie Nahabedian’s “exciting menu” of “fresh” New American fare with “Mediterranean” flair is paired with a “thoughtful wine list”, “seductively served” by a “cool staff” and “shown off” in a “clean-lined”, “minimalist” space that “feels like a spa” – in fact, the “excellent” experience is “only marred by the high decibel level” “when it’s crowded”; P.S. don’t miss “one of the city’s best burgers (lunch only).”
