The Xenia Team behind Kaia is a larger collective of hospitality minds brought together by Xenia Greek Hospitality—our parent company and the heart of all we do.
Xenia is a family of restaurants driven by a shared commitment to philoxenia: the Greek art of making guests feel truly welcome. From culinary direction and beverage programs to branding, design, and guest experience, the Xenia team supports every detail that brings our restaurants to life.
They’re the hands and minds behind the scenes, helping us stay rooted in tradition while constantly evolving—and always ensuring that every concept feels personal, intentional, and full of heart.
