Nama and the Environment
A healthy environment is imperative to all of us. At Nama we do all we can to protect it. For our future. For your future.
Environmental responsibility is a state of mind for me, my restaurants, and my employees. It is always on our minds, and we’re constantly trying to think of ways to decrease our environmental impact.
