verbatim, from Google“Stopped here today (Labor Day) and they had the fro yo with SO many toppings. How do we get this to be a thing? Absolutely delicious and the best toppings like Beatrix chocolate cake, Beatrix cookies, graham cracker dust, potato chips. The best treat ever.”
“LOVE IT. DON'T MISS IT when you are around Navy Pier / Millennium Park or anywhere near State street in the Chicago downtown. Everything about this place is awesome. Finding a table during weekends is almost impossible. Overall: 5/5 Location: 5/5 On Illinois and Clark. Right in the heart of Chicago downtown. One mile from Navy Pier. Ambience: 5/5 - Amazing ambience with great interiors. It has two bar counters too. It has extraordinary outdoor seating on the clark street. A proper fine dining experience. Taste: 5/5 - We tasted two entrees (Chiken Kabak & Shrimp and Polenta) and one dessert (Sticky date cake). The tastes if all the dishes are very pleasing to pallet. The aroma in the rice is so pleasing. As we left the restaurant, we felt so happy for chosing the place. Best refined Mediterranean place. Service: 5/5 - Even with 100 people seated, when we arrived, we were served the food in 15 minutes. Sooooper fast. We booked for the next day again. We loved it so much.”
“Ema was beautiful.. the food was delicious. We had the lamb, labneh and salmon. Finished it all off with the honey pie. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is fresh, filling and Devine. I also had a Rosè spritzer.”
“One of the best restaurants in Chicago. Without overexaggerating, the food is stunningly tasty, fresh, healthy and delivered to your table very fast. We loved the hummus, the carrots (!) and the octopus. Their alcohol free cocktails are excellent as well. Not sure why it's called Rotisserie Ema, when everyone calls it Ema.”
“If you want an experience for your tastebuds you have to go here and share and try things”
“Some of the best food i had during a weekend trip to Chicago! WOW!”
“Food here is amazing! The hummus and pita, and kabbas are a must try! Book the table before you come..it gets very busy.”
“Nice location in downtown area of Chicago. Tables are very small for a group of four. Service is reasonably good. Well stocked bar and the menu is Mediterranean cuisine. Food was very good though the portions were a bit small.”
“Loved the sweet corn hummus, hot honey halloumi and the salmon Kebab”
