NAZ is a chef-driven restaurant in Ashland, Oregon, inspired by the owners world travels. Global flavors meet the brightness of tropical, seasonal ingredients.

Drawing influence from Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Latin America, our menu reflects the way cuisines have shaped one another over time. We focus on fresh vegetables, vibrant herbs, citrus, and ingredients like mango, coconut, guava, and passion fruit—bringing energy, balance, and depth to every dish.

The experience is elevated yet approachable, set in a lively, casual space designed for both brunch and dinner. At NAZ, food is fresh, local, expressive, and a cultural blend of the world.
