“This is a humble looking place however, the staff is super friendly and very sweet. The food is absolutley amazing. I also participated in their coffee ceremony where they showed us how they roasted the coffee beans and gave us POPCORN. The combination of the two things together actually taste pretty good. Coffee was served in a traditional pouring vessel and portions are massive.“
“January 2024: My husband and I had been yearning for good Ethiopian food for a while. It had been years, since our favorite restaurant in Washington, DC closed. So when we were in Cleveland and looking for a place to eat we found Zoma via a Google search.Ethiopian in Cleveland? Why not. And boy are we glad we visited Zoma! We shared a vegetarian pick 4 and the food was outstanding - fresh and perfectly spiced. We savored every bite. The service was lovely too. We had wine with dinner which increased our bill significantly. If you choose just the food, you can have a super-filling meal for 2 for under $20.If you're unfamiliar with Ethiopian cuisine, it is made up of small portions of your choosing (veg or meat or a combo) served atop a large pancake called injera which is made from fermented tef and barley flours. You eat with your hands by tearing pieces of injera to pick up the food. It is a romantic and communal experience that's a ton of fun. The food isn't spicy as in hot, but it is well-seasoned and so flavorful. And Zoma does this very well. The only thing I wish they did was offer bowls and towels to clean your hands before eating (as they did in our DC spot).Cleveleand, you have a treasure in Zoma. We hope you embrace this family run business and visit often. Yum!!!Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian options.“
