The chef consistently creates a superb menu, and the staff, including the wait and bus teams, are excellent. Many diners feel special thanks to the warm service. The restaurant is a great place for special occasions, especially for those looking for a romantic setting. The decor is super cute, making the atmosphere lively and full of energy. The food remains delicious even after multiple visits, with favorites like falafel, bhel humus, chicken kafta, and lamb/beef kafta. The roasted Romanesco broccoli with whipped yogurt dip is highly recommended and so flavorful that it leaves guests craving more. Visitors often note that portions are quite large, despite some staff suggesting otherwise, and they appreciate the freshness of all dishes. Ema is a culinary gem worth revisiting, and many guests highly recommend it, making it a place they will definitely return to.
