Local Business Spotlight

The Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Santa Maria Times to showcase the great local businesses in the Santa Maria Valley through our monthly "Local Business Spotlight" series. Each month, we'll highlight a different local business through a video interview, and the Santa Maria Times highlights the business through an article and podcast. Check out the lasted featured video below, and visit our Youtube Channel for a full playlist of local businesses featured.

In this month's Local Business Spotlight, we sat down with Reda Kchik, Owner of The Garden Restaurant & Cafe, to learn about his family's dream of sharing real, homemade Mediterranean food with Santa Maria. Reda shares the story of how his friends encouraged him to open the restaurant after enjoying his cooking, and how the dream became a reality when he found the perfect location in 2015. Discover how The Garden Restaurant & Cafe focuses on fresh, authentic food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Learn about their commitment to the community through their fun events like weekend buffets and karaoke nights, and how the support from Santa Maria has been truly meaningful.
