Was Angie at Ema a mag?
The ambiance, service, and decor were outstanding. The food was a true culinary delight. Our party of seven sampled almost everything on the menu and found it all to be delicious. We particularly enjoyed the bhel and lamb hummus. The desserts, including the frozen yogurt and sticky date cake, were absolutely divine. View all feedback.

What bill argo dislikes about Ema:
To be honest, we were somewhat let down by our experience at this restaurant. We are fans of Aba and had high hopes for this place, but sadly, it didn't meet our expectations. Both the food and drinks were underwhelming. View all feedback.
