Nuhma NYC

Nuhma immigrated to the United States from the Philippines with her family when she was thirteen. However the sounds and smells of her childhood—freshly caught fish, newly picked vegetables, bustling markets—continued to anchor Nuhma’s sense of home and inspire her lifelong passion for cooking.Nuhma moved to France when she was just twenty to intern under Pierre Hermé at Fauchon, the iconic French gourmet food company, before returning to New York to complete the Pastry and Baking Arts program at the Institute of Culinary Education. Nuhma worked at the Michelin Starred Bouley restaurant for two years, and served as a private chef for some of Manhattan’s elite before starting Nuhma NYC in 2014. Thanks to its exquisite yet approachable cuisine, unparalleled service, and famous fried chicken, Nuhma NYC quickly outgrew its Lower East Side location. Now based in Long Island City, Nuhma NYC includes a full team of talented chefs, expert wait staff and partnerships with local markets and farms—bringing new dimensions of taste and flavor to every event.
