Ema - Austin

“Absolutely incredible food! Very good service and a quiet environment! Also very cautious with food allergies.. would highly recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Love this place. The food is flavorful, so delicious. The staff is helpful and spot on with recommendations. The ambiance makes you feel like you've stepped into the Mediterranean. The design is beautiful. The honey cake is incredible! It's not something I would normally order as I'm a chocolate lover, but the honey cake was one of the best desserts I've ever had.”

“We went on opening day at Ema and had such a great experience. The vibe was spot on and the food was amazing. We ordered the hummus and spreads, which came with warm pita bread and gluten free crackers, and everything was so good. The mocktails were delicious and really pretty, too. The interior decor felt modern but still super relaxing, which made it a great place to hang out and enjoy the meal. The service really stood out. The owner and manager both stopped by to say hi, which was such a nice touch. I also accidentally spilled my mocktail and even though it was completely my fault, the staff immediately apologized and brought me a new one on the house. That kind of service really goes a long way. It is definitely on the pricier side, but it feels pretty standard for an upscale spot in Austin. Honestly, that is the only thing I could even slightly complain about. We will for sure be going back. Nothing but good things to say.”

“We visited Ema on Saturday afternoon for lunch. Staff was super friendly and very attentive to details. Tried their spicy hummus, green falafel, cauliflower kabab, fried potatoes and sweet potato patties. Everything tasted good, but nothing stood out. It was hygienic and well maintained place. Beautiful decor and ambiance must say. Super crowded and reservation is a must.”

“Delicious Food but ….. Firstly want to start with that it is one of the mostly delicious middle eastern food we have had in Austin and just had an unfortunate experience that the kebabs and shrimp platter came out not warm at all. It felt that they had been kept out for a while before serving us. The ambience and staff was top notch.”
