First time in Chicago and first meal was at Ema’s. The staff were the most amazing and generous to us. I highly recommend Ema’s for your Mediterranean cravings.
We tried a tasting menu during Chicago's Restaurant Week and everything we had was fantastic. In particular, I'd recommend the crispy potatoes!
Great place with great food and lovely atmosphere. Get the grilled octopus!

Ema is a charming restaurant in Chicago that provides a delightful dining experience with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features flavorful dishes, including the top-rated Brussels sprouts, divine spreads with pita bread, and an amazing hummus. Guests enjoy the very vegetarian-friendly options, with many gluten-free choices available. 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.
