★★★★★ 5.0 Amelia Ascione · Jan 2026

We tried a combination of vegetable/meat dishes and all were fantastic. We specifically loved the shiro, yemisie kay wat, and the gomen alicha. The three veggie/meat samplers are definitely filling enough for one person. This restaurant also has a great outdoor seating area that would be great during the spring/summer. Overall, we would highly recommend trying Zemam's.

Found an old photo from my visit and had to leave a review. We really enjoyed the experience of sharing a hearty platter and eating with our hands together (especially as Filipinos!). The food was a great intro to Ethiopian cuisine, flavourful like a dried curry. The staff was super knowledgeable and helped us choose. The place has a cosy, artsy flair to it. We checked out their bar next door and it did not disappoint. A solid spot that left a good impression all the way from Hong Kong!

★★★★★ 5.0 Hans Gartmann · Feb 2026

A wonderful experience, excellent food, service and atmosphere, a real treat. I dined here for a late lunch, enjoyed a combo with lamb, red lentils and collared greens. Excellent quality ingredients prepared skillfully! Don't hesitate to go! If you are unfamiliar with the cuisine, the servers can help you understand and select the right dish for you.

Wonderful first experience with Ethiopian food. My wife was mild and mine was spicy. Both of us were very pleased. We also had the coffee - very nice.
