The lamb kabob was so dry. Service was okay. Didn’t even serve iced water when it was 85 degrees

It’s a favorite place of mine and it’s consistently fantastic!

Don’t miss the date cake for dessert

We ate outside on the patio on a beautiful summer night . The food was delicious . My guess is that they were understaffed. Probably the worst service I’ve ever had a lettuce entertaining restaurant. Looks like the weather was trying really hard but everybody was overwhelmed. It’s a take away a little bit from the entire experience.

We met friends for drinks/appetizers on a Thursday early evening 4:30pm. Our table was towards the open window panels. Great spot for outdoor seating experience. Our waiter did a great job explaining the food menu and kept us on track with the number of dishes ordered. Food came out promptly and well paced. Winners: hummus, olives & feta, Greek salad, short ribs & lamb kebabs. Fresh ingredients, colorful displays and excelente flavor profiles.
We highly recommend and will be back.

Great place for a business dinner, fun, not too loud! Food excellent Service was mostly good but server got a rush and then slowed down a little - it was acknowledged - will definitely go back!

Was very disappointing, I’m sure it improve as more people come back to workforce

We always love the salmon kebab. all 4 of us got that. delicious. the brussel spouts, falafel, hummus- all great!

So delicious, lots of variety, reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Great food. Price is right. Loved the kabobs. Salmon crudo was outstanding. Service was superb. Loved it.

Every meal at Ema is always spot on! Our server was very attentive and efficient.
The salmon on the kabobs was cooked to perfection!

Server was excellent and dishes we chose were great. Covid has been tough on businesses so can understand wait time and lack of bartender. Noise was at times overwhelming, but our server and staff were lovely. The roasted eggplant was outstanding!!

I used too love Ema, and was excited to come here while back in town. However, the food wasn't up to the quality I remembered. It was good, but not great. The dips in particular were under seasoned and lacked body.

Our waiter was lovely, but they are clearly understaffed. He tried his best to be attentive, but clearly had too much to do.

Overall, I'd say it wasn't worth the price.

Waitress was rude and impersonal. Hostess was so sweet. But overall I expect the best from ema which wasn’t the case today.

The spreads, the chicken kefta, the toothpick lamb were all wonderful when combined with great service! (Thank you Maria)

Friendly host stand, great food, great ambience, what more could you want? A wonderful and laid back place to meet with friends or family and have a good time.

Our service was spectacular. The chicken kefta and octopus dishes were the stars. The falafel was under seasoned. And the spicy mezcal cocktail makes me want the recipe.

Unfortunately I don’t remember our servers name but she was AWESOME! Food was great and short rib was to die for

My friend has celiac and they were so accommodating. The food was 10/10 amazing!

Excellent food, good wine list, very nice location. Service is good.
Definitely recommend it

Waitress was so great, food extra special and a great experience.

Such good food and great service. You can’t go wrong here. Ema which means mother in Hebrew, really gets good Israeli/Jewish soul food just perfect. Please open one of these in LA!

Incredibly slow and almost non existent service. Once we paid our check we had to chase our server down to get the check and credit card back

Loved the food! Everything was so tasteful. Hummus with the nuts was great on their delicious pitas! The salmon kebab was cooked perfect tender and soft. My husband loved the chicken bowl. Brussels were one of the best we’ve had. We had a taste explosion! The food was so good we wished we tried the deserts!

Great food and drinks. Nice outdoor seating.

Wonderful food! Great drinks

Delicious food and friendly service! Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back. The stracciatella is a must!

I love Ema, nice ambience, and a great menu. The service was pretty lacking this time around. And on a REALLY hot day, they leave the main restaurant wide open, so it's nearly as hot as outside. Not good.

Great food and great service!

I came for my birthday and the waitress provided excellent service. The food was spectacular per usual as well.

The frozen yogurt disappeared! Otherwise, great.

Best food me and my partner have ever had. It really made me feel like I was at home.

Best Greek salad in town. Great service and comfortable atmosphere.

Ema continues to be one of my go-to restaurants, especially when entertaining friends who are visiting! The food is always wonderful, drinks are great, and your dollar goes a long way here!

Food was absolutely great. Service was less great, a bit impatient and not so welcoming.

One of my favorite spots in the city. Food is always full of flavor and amazing

The appetizers are amazing! The almond and garlic spread, the brussel sprouts, and the hummus are to die for.

We ordered the mushroom kebab and the chicken kefta kebab as our entrees. They were decent, but not as spectacular as our appetizers.

The cactus cocktail was popular (every table in our section ordered one)

Our server was very accommodating of our dietary restrictions. We love that Ema has a gluten free menu!

Very accommodating, we have a latex allergy and they were very careful about that very very excellent customer service!

Wonderful lunch meal with a colleague. Shared the hummas and pita plate which was delicious. I had the chopped salad for lunch with falafel balls. Excellent salad and nice light lunch. Our service was outstanding, she checked in with us often and was friendly and professional. I'll be back!
