Gorgeous ambiance and terrific food! I can’t stop thinking about the charred eggplant dip. It is not what you would expect, truly whipped and creamy, but absolutely phenomenal. The grilled branzino may have been one of the best entrees I have ever had. It was so fresh and light.
I was absolutely blown away by everything we have ordered. Everything was a 10/10. My friend is celiac and our waiter gave us a dedicated gluten free menu. Everything we ordered was so flavorful and fresh - it was a shame we didn't have room to order more. The atmosphere and vibes were also emaculat
Ema, nestled in the heart of Chicago, offers a culinary experience that tantalizes the taste buds with its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. My visit to this charming restaurant was marked by a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a delightful dining adventure.
The standout dish of the ev
First impression of this place is definitely the ambience! Super cozy and the food was amazing; Hummus was full of texture and the Lamb was cooked to perfection. Chicken skewers in combination with their tzatziki was fantastic! Highly recommend
Awesome location!!! So many delicious gluten free options, and they were super accommodating with my dairy free requests as well. They even brought out gluten free crackers to eat with the hummus, even though I hadn’t thought about ordering that (wasn’t even on the menu)- so thoughtful!! The salmon
Really neat fusion of Middle Eastern flavors with modern cuisine.
Some of the dishes are a little over done but in all, excellent food and presentation.
Service was good. They did forget one of our entree and apparently it was dropped off to the wrong table?
The server did offer to fire a new one bu
The food, service and the ambience was top notch. We liked the Chicken Kefta more than the Grilled Chicken. Make sure you plan ahead and reserve a table. It's so busy that you won't get a reservation using Open Table easily. Oh, don't miss the cocktails!
The foods are excellent. It comes in small dishes so you can order several things with out burden you stomach too much. Everythings that we ordered were so good. The waiter was so nice.
My daughter and I were there Saturday night Dec 16 for the first time. We loved everything about this restaurant! Food was AMAZING, service was awesome and the atmosphere was very comfortable! Highly highly recommend!
Amazing place with a good selection of preparations on the menu. I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine in on a weekend. A good selection of cocktails, my recommendation would be to try the “WAKE UP CALL”. We loved how tender the octopus and chicken was in the grilled octopus an
My dining experience at this restaurant was exceptional. During dinner, I ordered 'Beets and Berries,' 'Green Falafel,' and 'Rent Free.' Each dish impressed me with its delightful taste and good portion sizes. The 'Beets and Berries' and 'Rent Free' were particularly outstanding, offering a burst of
My friend and I enjoyed our dinner here. Decor was definitely nice. Service was just a little slow when we first arrived, but progressively improved after our server finally came.
We received great suggestions and enjoyed our food. I really liked the Parmesan Farro w/ mushroom Ragu appetizer. My f
I recently dined at this restaurant, and I must say it was a unique and enjoyable experience. The concept of Middle Eastern sliders meant for sharing intrigued us, and we decided to try a variety.
We selected the hummus, falafel, and kafta kebab. One important tip is to communicate your preferred l
Nice, funny place. A typical bar with dining room narratives, in a simple setting, without any special design formation of the interior, furniture with a seating area outside. Nearby there are many bars with different focus on cuisines and dishes offered. Very reminiscent of a minimalist dining room
One of my best restaurant experiences in Chicago! We were able to walk in even on a Friday night which was nice and the atmosphere was beautiful! The service was fast and attentive and the food was amazing. We got the chicken kefta, stracciatelli, Brussels sprouts, and sticky date cake! For the amou
Ema is a Middle Eastern delight! The ambiance is cozy, and the staff were so nice. Their menu offers flavorful dishes like creamy hummus, crispy falafel, and tender kabobs. Don't miss the dates cake for dessert. A must-visit for high-end Middle Eastern cuisine lovs!!
Refined Mediterranean experience with good food, cocktails, and ambiance.
During our recent visit on a late Saturday night, my friend and I started our dinner with a triad of spreads: Charred Eggplant, Hummus with Lamb Ragu, and the House-made Labneh. Among these, my favorites were the Eggplant and
Many wonderful vegetarian dishes here, and quite a few gluten-free options too. Be sure to try the spreads, especially the charred eggplant made with walnuts, herbs, pomegranate molasses and arils. The setting is lovely, great for a group dinner or more intimate affair. We dined inside next to the b
