ABOUT
Nai, meaning mother in Gallego, is the innovative and humbling cuisine by Galicia-native Chef Ruben Rodriguez.
Chef Rodriguez opened Nai in New York City in 2010, with the primary purpose of being an ever-evolving love letter to Rodriguez's mother Ana Maria Gonzalez Arias––who he accredits for his unwavering culinary skill set and the traditional Galician recipes one would find on his menus. Nai has matured into a dynamic platform where its cuisine and culture is the base for its restaurants and products for the world to experience.
