Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

Best adjaruli khachapouri in the city; everything else is

4/5 by Lynn M. on 04/05/2022

Best adjaruli khachapouri in the city; everything else is alright, a bit too salty for my taste. The backyard is really nice, beautiful, with plentiful heat lamps in the winter.

4/5 by Shay H. on 04/04/2022

I've never had Georgian food before so was super excited to try this place! We had a reservation for brunch on a Saturday. Restaurant was not super busy and the service was great. The Penovani Khachapuri is a puff pastry with cheese inside-- it tastes exactly like that description, nothing more or less. The chiji piji with mushrooms is pretty good, very standard for shakshuka. We also got the beef and pork kabob, which were also good but nothing special.

😍

Hands down one of the best meals of March 2022! Great

5/5 by Krutin S. on 04/01/2022

Hands down one of the best meals of March 2022! Great vibes, great service and amazing food. About half the menu is vegetarian and delicious. We pretty tried everything on it as family style. Portion size is slightly on smaller side. Dumplings and their breads are something to kill for. Our first time eating Georgian Food and it certainly won't be the last one!!

🙂

Amsterdam Avenue location - excellent food

4/5 by jemk on 03/30/2022

Very good meal.
Georgian food is distinctive. Delicious bread, beef & pork dumplings, and potato/zucchini/pepper dish.

Friendly staff and service.

Chama Mama is such a great place to eat out with friends,

5/5 by Connie C. on 03/29/2022

Chama Mama is such a great place to eat out with friends, especially if you want something a little more different. Everything was so delicious. I am so glad that I got to try the place out recently. I left so plumpy and happy!My friend and I shared the plates, and that's usually how I like to eat because then you can try out more dishes. Unknowingly, we ended up eating mostly vegetarian dishes. We ordered: Eggplant, Adjaruli Khachapuri, Kvari, and Lobio In A Clay Pot With Fermented Vegetables. The Eggplant and Adjaruli Khachapuri were my favorite! The Eggplant is served cold and described on the menu as grilled eggplant, walnut paste, onion, coriander, molasses, and Georgian spices. The most famous Georgian dish is the bread, khachapuri, and we got the Adjaruli Khachapuri, which is filled with a blended cheese and topped with an egg. The server will ask to mix it for you with butter. Let me tell you... It's such yummy, ooey-gooey goodness. (As a side note: I also highly recommend a lactaid pill for those who are lactose-intolerant. It's quite creamy.)While the Kvari was a great cheesy dumpling with a mint yogurt sauce and the Lobio was a nice bean stew, I wasn't mind-blown with them. They were very delicious though. They just were not my favorites of the night. For instance, the corn bread of the Lobio was a bit dry to my liking.As for drinks, we both got the Flight of 3, which is a pre-selected flight of Georgian wine tastings in white, amber, and red. It paired well with the food, and it was a cute thing to try.Anyway, long story short... I would definitely be recommending Chama Mama to all my friends!

It's time to update a previous Chama Mama review to five

5/5 by Will V. on 03/27/2022

It's time to update a previous Chama Mama review to five stars for the complete package of great food and drinks, atmosphere, and service. In just a year, it has become a favorite meeting place for lunches and dinners with friends, including special occasions. All leave with a warm feeling - and full bellies, especially when starting off with the must have Adjaruli Khachapuri.Tonight was a birthday dinner and we reserved for the excellent and spacious back outdoor (covered/wind protected, and fairly warm) area. It was a Saturday and every table, inside and out, was full. Chama Mama had a warm, buzzy energy as we walked through.We had to start with the Adjaruli Khachapuri. My dining partner, and life partner, loves their Insta stories, so the waiter prepared it for video and seemed to take extra pleasure in the mixing and dramatic stretching of the awesome cheeses, egg, and butter. The dinner was off to a great start.I knew that this dish - the ultimate crowd pleaser - would fill us up and we didn't want to have to take a post-dinner nap, so we ordered only two other dishes for the rest of dinner: the eclectic and much lighter Taste of Georgia special apps sampler and the beef and pork kabab. Both are great. The sampler has five smallish scoops of various spreads, I still love the eggplant and beets options the most, and a really unique smoky/salty slice of cheese. Also, lots of good bread. The kabab is so good, with a nice blend of spice and seasoning, good texture, and is wrapped in a lavash (flatbread) and covered with pomegranate seeds. The tomato sauce for dipping was interesting, but a bit watery.Drinks were good, not great, this time; my partner didn't love the mint chacha (with the Georgian liquor that is like grappa) but I enjoyed the wine flight. Service was just right: attentive and efficient without being overbearing. We also appreciated the pro-Ukraine postcard that came with the check and will definitely give our support to businesses who care about peace and humanity. All in all, this was a great birthday night at Chama Mama. You can make it yours as well!

🙂

We had a great time at Chama Mama for dinner.

4/5 by Marty W. on 03/27/2022

The atmosphere, food and drinks were great, the staff were all lovely although a little inattentive. Quite a few times we had to wait and try really hard to get their attention to order, or take finished plates etc off our table and get the bill, this is while some staff members where standing not far from us having casual conversation between each other. 1 of the women staff members was great when she was near, but I think she was more serving tables at the rear of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend this place, we will be back.

😍

I LOVED Chama Mama (Chelsea restaurant).

5/5 by Amber G. on 03/18/2022

We didn't have a reservation, so the host (who was very polite the entire time), sat us at the bar after trying to find us a table. She did find us a table, but we would have had to leave pretty quickly, and it was our first time here and wanted to sample some dishes, so we opted for the bar. GREAT DECISION. Stephen, our bartender and waiter, was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, so happy we vistes Chama Mama!

🙂

Great service, cute ambiance, and lovely watching them make

4/5 by Valerie N. on 03/07/2022

Great service, cute ambiance, and lovely watching them make the food. Speaking of food, it's quite delicious! Taste of Georgia: expensive for the portion size but fun to try all the dips. The bread isn't memorable and I liked the eggplant dip the best. The spinach and leek one was a nice follow up. The others can be skipped. The smoked cheese was way too salty for me ($24) Megruli kharsho with chicken: delicious. I wish it was a larger portion for the price but nice flavor ($22)Picked vegetable appetizer: fun to try all of them but some were too salty/pickles for me. I'll definitely be back!

I've never had Georgian food before but always saw the

4/5 by Wendy Z. on 03/01/2022

I've never had Georgian food before but always saw the iconic cheese boat on TikTok and had to try. It was as good as you'd expected a bread boat of cheese to be, but all the other food we ordered was delicious as well - we ordered the Taste of Georgia, the eggplant, lamb stuffed grape leaves, imeruli khachapuri, jonjoli, and the meat platter for 6 people. It was the perfect amount of food and didn't leave you feeling too heavy, either. We also tried some Georgian wine which was delicious!I will say that we sat in the outdoor seating area and it was FREEZING, but hopefully that won't be an issue for much longer.

😍

Love this place!! I've never tried Georgian cuisine before

5/5 by Alessandra F. on 02/24/2022

Love this place!! I've never tried Georgian cuisine before but this place really introduces it in a way that is accessible and delicious. I honestly wanted to try everything on the menu but we were only there for appetizers. I will definitely be returning to try many more items!Highlights: KHINKALI: Georgian soup dumpling. -we got the beef. they are very large with a thicker dough shell than a tradition Asian soup dumpling but just as amazing! I want to try the cheese filled ones next. ADJARULI KHACHAPURI: the Instagram worthy appetizer that is mixed at tableside with butter. basically fresh baked bread with a built in cheesy dip baked in the center. such a fun app to split/share for the table. absolutely incredible and a must try for sure!MEGRULI KHARSHO WITH CHICKEN: this dish was so unique and flavorful. I could literally eat the sauce with a spoon it was that good. Drinks: the Georgian wine flight was so tasty and a great way to taste different wines. Staff was super nice and accommodating. They squeezed us in even when we didn't have reservations on a Saturday night.

😒

If this is your first Georgian experience, it's a safe bet.

3/5 by Stina P. on 02/13/2022

The food is approachable and fine. We had the eggplant and mushroom appetizers and a cheesy bread with egg. It was just enough for two people. I tried the wine flight but don't care for white wine so can't recommend. It's a cozy atmosphere and very attentive service. Would I visit again? Probably not. The Georgian food in Brooklyn is far better in my opinion and more flavorful but if you're not terribly adventurous, this is a fine first step.

😍

Amazing find in the middle of s heavily gentrified

5/5 by Valentino G. on 02/12/2022

Amazing find in the middle of s heavily gentrified Manhattan neighborhood. The decor is understated, simple, yet strikingly beautiful. But, of course, star attraction is the food. Murmurs abound at all the nearby tables about the mythical Khachapuri: "What is it?! How do you eat it?!"This mecca of Kachapuri isn't just a one-trick pony, however! They have a soup that doubles as a hangover cure. Dumplings that transport you back to Georgia. And meat skewers that make your mouth water.More than anything, everything is packed with flavor and love.It gets busy, so service may sometimes be slow -- and the acoustics in the back room are quite poor (can't hear the person across from you), but these are pretty common flaws in popular restaurants.I highly recommend!

😍

Delish delish delish!!!Incredibly tasty food and experience.

5/5 by Whitney L. on 02/04/2022

This was my first time trying Georgian food and I enjoyed it all. Chama Mama is a great restaurant---very spacious, warm, inviting and fun.We ordered several things to share, cheese bread, pork dumplings, a chicken dish, country salad and lots of delicious red wine. Everything was full of taste and texture with decent portions. I definitely want to come back to try more of the menu.Highly recommend!!!

I've been coming to Chama Mama's Chelsea location for about

5/5 by John S. on 01/31/2022

I've been coming to Chama Mama's Chelsea location for about a year now fairly consistently. Throughout my ten+ visits, I have never had a negative experience. Making a reservation on Resy is always very user friendly and the staff has always been amendable when I needed to make more last minute changes. Dining indoors is a joy with the beautiful decor and rotating selection of art pieces. However, I prefer the outdoor patio with fresh air, warm lighting, and thriving plants. This is all before getting to the food, which never misses the mark. I've tried all of the Hachapuri and Khinkali variations and loved each of them. I am a big fan of the Taste of Georgia, but I advise you to order fresh Georgian bread alongside it as the warm flat bread certainly better compliments the dips. Do not leave without trying a dessert and a cappuccino to finish it all off. I am always happy to return with new groups and introduce them to Georgian cuisine -- I know you'll have the same experience :)

😍

Love , love , love .

5/5 by Linda L. on 01/28/2022

Do not know any thing about the country Georgia but I do know that this restaurant has fabulous food, great staff and makes you feel comfortable no matter who you are . They have a glass kitchen so you can see the workers, most of which are middle aged women from their home . If you have not tried this restaurant you must as it has that comfort food feel and the food looks and tastes amazing. We ordered the Adjaruli Khachapurithe taste of georgia , dumplings and the lamb stuffed grape leaves . I left stuffed and happy . Only complaint is that the wine servings are too small , but I still give them 5 stars for the rest of the place

😒

Local Georgian eatery.

3/5 by TangoNY on 01/27/2022

The restaurant itself is very clean and feels renovated recently. I have tasted Georgian food many times around New York both at restaurants and at Georgian / Eastern European grocery stores.
The food here is fresh but not sensational. Just a good local restaurant with clean kitchen and OK food. Worth a visit.

😍

Chama Mama was such a delight.

5/5 by Megan F. on 01/26/2022

We ate in the backyard, which was well heated and filled with beautiful plants. Our absolute favorite was the Adjaruli Khachapuri, a traditional baked bread bowl with cheese and egg mixed in. We will definitely be back!

😍

Dining Around the World

5/5 by JNYCwriter on 01/22/2022

Of course in NYC you can find international dining from just about anywhere. But Chama gives one an upscale Georgian dining experience. The roasted chicken was excellent as were the meat filled dumplings. This is a beautifully designed restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere.

😍

Really great Georgian - Upper West Side location

5/5 by DouglasWill on 12/06/2021

I love Georgian food and this place was not a dissapointment. Everything was really tasty and the service was very good too. I would definitely recommend and I will return when the mood for Georgian food strikes again.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
