About Us
Welcome to Zema , where we bring the heart of Ethiopia to your table. Our menu features authentic dishes made with traditional spices and ingredients, offering a true taste of Ethiopian culture.
About Us
Welcome to Zema, where the rich melodies of Ethiopian culture harmonize with the vibrant flavors of our traditional cuisine. In Amharic, "zema" means "music," and just like a beautiful melody, Ethiopian food and culture are crafted with passion, tradition, and communal spirit.
Ethiopian cuisine is a symphony of flavors, with each dish contributing to a delightful culinary experience. At the heart of our menu is injera, a spongy flatbread made from teff flour, serving as the base for a variety of stews and sautéed dishes known as wot and tibs. These dishes are seasoned with unique Ethiopian spices like berbere and mitmita, creating a harmonious blend of tastes.
Our Mission
At Zema, our mission is to bridge the authenticity gap between Ethiopian food in its homeland and its representation here in the United States. We believe that true authenticity goes beyond just good food. It encompasses exceptional customer service, the communal joy of eating together, and the cultural richness of Ethiopian music, or "zema."
In Ethiopia, dining is a communal experience where food is shared from a common platter, fostering a deep sense of connection and joy. At Zema, we bring this tradition to you, inviting you to gather around our tables and enjoy meals that celebrate togetherness.
