Very kind and inviting woman right when we entered, saw many return customers coming in and chatting happily with her, she let us choose multiple toppings for our injera bread plate too, each were delicious, the lamb tibs was a favorite, as well as the cabbage. Kind warm small interior, good Ethiopian jazz playing, and cheap prices. Would love to be a regular here. Highly recommend!

Delicious food. Meat temperature cooked to your tastes. Avoid doing takeout for a lot of people… They didn’t pack the food so well (because of the injera) but it was still delicious.

My kids love it here and I’m very glad because they are picky eaters! I was forced to learn more about Ethiopian food so we can see what more can we try from here. Really good restaurant!

I dropped by on a Friday for the lunch buffet. There was a good variety of vegetarian and meat dishes to select from. My server loaded up my plate with a variety of beef, lamb and vegetable choices and provided an extra plate of injera ( think of spongy, slightly tangy pita bread) to scoop and soak with. Because I was in a rush, I only did one plate from the buffet, but that was more than filling. Everything was delicious!

I absolutely loved this this place!!! I always order the Ye Beg Wet and love the injera but I ask them to wrap it when I order from grubhub and it’s so much better to me. I dined in one time and the atmosphere was great the service was excellent as well. I also tried the Ethiopian coffee and fell in love! The woman making the coffee came out and had it smoking for me while she was making it and it was a great surprise. I will definitely be back and smoke some hookah at the lounge area.

My friend and I went to Zemeta on Monday at about 3:00. The food selections were well-stocked and the very kind woman serving us explained what everything was. The dining area was clean, and nice and warm for a cold winter day. It’s very intimate but in a cozy, homey way.
