Really fantastic. All the spreads are delicious and the bread is so so so good. Absolutely loved the baked hallumi and the risotto . Was a great dinner !
Wow... Place to go! Hummus and falafel are excellent... With white greek wine from Santorini. Grilled chicken is light and super tasty. But then - frozen greek yogurt for dessert . It is really smth!
Medi small plates where the smaller plates do steal the show. Recommend loading up on the more "app" type plates. Spicy hummus is a staple and a must. Sweet 🌽 risotto is unexpectedly light/bright
Go to Ema rotisserie for lunch ! $13 for either chicken or falafel with pita and two side salads (recommend Greek, Brussel sprout or kale Cesar salad ). Amazing deal and super filling! Great leftovers!
Mediterranean palate extravaganza. The Hummus , Baba Ghanoush , Eggplant spread , grilled octopus , Falafel & Greek Salad deliver over the top flavors. Generous portions with a California cuisine flair.
Loved the chicken Kefta, beef/lamb Kefta, crispy potatoes are a must and the eggplant dip ! Cocktails (cactus queen and slow cheetah) we’re just ok. Good amazing
If the pumpkin hummus is on the menu, don’t skip it. I get sick of pumpkin every fall and have never had a Pumpkin Spice Latte in my life, but the pumpkin hummus here is off the charts good.
The octopus is a fabulous take on classic Eastern Mediterranean grilled octopus . Lemon , char + deliciousness. Wine menu is global without being classic/tired, and fascinating!
All small plates mussels were spectacular. The "feed 2" entrees really are only enough for 1 and $30 each. Location brings in many "off the street" tourists making it much more casual than trendy
"the chef gives rein to his Middle Eastern inclinations, from complex spreads with soft bread to fried halloumi with sweet and spicy accents – and a rotisserie chicken so popular it’s available to go"
Pan-Seared Seabass (cherry tomatoes , green garlic , baby arugula , petite herbs)
Hummus were really good! Branzino was amazing, kebabs delicious too! Very beautiful restaurant !

Another one by Lettuce Entertain You that serves Mediterranean dishes. I had a couple of the house made cocktails .
Roasted eggplant spread . Grilled octopus . Blackened skrimps. Always get the skrimps.
every thing is good, the food and the service
The food is delicious and the outdoor seating is great now that COVID is surging again.
Wonderful hummus and related dips with delicious pita bread .
The hummus plate is divine. Not happy with their cocktails . Ordered a 13 dollar drink that was two thirds ice. Finished it in two sips.
The avocado toast and lamb shakshuka for brunch was amazing
Honey Pie (sesame , grilled grapes )
Ema Rotisserie is awesome! So many fresh, healthy lunch options
Spicy hummus is not vegetarian - it has anchovies in the spicy . Limited vegan options .
Everything!
