I can't count the number of times I've enjoyed a phenomenal breakfast at Ema's. Why? Because they never ever disappoint, it's so close to my house being near Ambassador and Johnston, and prices are reasonable. This morning I went back to the Seafood Omelet adding a side of bacon. Stuffed with gulf shrimp and covered in Louisiana crawfish, what could be better?! My friend had the amazing Cajun Benedict which is always so delicately perfect. Ema has won many culinary awards for good reason. Try it and you will for sure agree. When I have out-of-town friends and family in town, I amaze them here.

His sister restaurant, accessible from Ema's or the side entrance, has gourmet Indian cuisine and a great Sunday bruch.

We have recently tried their buffet a couple of times and they have wonderful Indian cuisines. The are tasty and delicious. We expect more Indian dishes for buffet in future. They also have separate American cuisines if you don't prefer buffet.

First time here. Order the biscuits and gravy and highly disappointed. Came out with a single biscuit halved with what I can only describe as melted butter with a little cream in it poured over it. Not a picky eater but can't take more than a bite.

The fried shrimp was good. The tartar sauce wasn't. No cocktail sauce. The french fries were mediocre and boring. The center of my hush puppies was not fully cooked. Our waitress was great, the atmosphere was nice and clean. Confused by walking into Ema's but seated inside Bailey's. Might consider returning one day to try a meal off of the breakfast menu.
