Ema: Where Your Taste Buds Take a Mediterranean Vacation
Ema is the kind of place that makes you feel fancy just for walking in. I sat down, ordered my feast, and instantly knew I was about to experience something life-changing. Let’s break it down:
Faroe Island Salmon Kebab: This isn’t just salmon on a stick. No, this is art. Perfectly cooked, tender, and so flavorful that I briefly considered starting a petition to rename it “Faroe Island Gold.” If salmon could flex, this one would be on Instagram showing off.
Hummus with Lamb Ragu: Forget peanut butter and jelly—this is the ultimate duo. The creamy hummus was so smooth it could moonlight as a jazz saxophonist, and the lamb ragu was the rich, meaty hug it didn’t know it needed. I contemplated licking the bowl but decided to retain some dignity (barely).
Brussels Sprouts with Honeycrisp Apples: Ema just said, “What if we took the vegetable everyone pretended to hate and made it the star?” The honeycrisp apples added a sweet crunch, and suddenly I was googling “Can I marry a side dish?”
Chicken Kefta Kebab: Tender, juicy, and spiced so perfectly that I started a personal relationship with this kebab. Every bite felt like a love letter to my mouth. I wanted to shout, “WHO MADE THIS?” but I didn’t want to get weird looks.
Ema is like that friend who’s effortlessly chic but also fun and approachable. It’s not just dinner; it’s a lesson in how to live your best life. Would I go back? Absolutely. I’m already planning my next meal—and maybe some therapy to process how good it all was.

Brussels sprouts are very good, rice was good though the salmon was a bit dry. Good food but not worth the pricing
