What is this abismal frozen treat that has olive oil and salt. If you must try it, wait for th me deal when it's $1 to scratch it off your list. Not worth the money.

Delicious food and very nice atmosphere, our waitress was very courteous and beautiful!
This place has a beautiful ambiance and the food is amazing.
Each hummus comes with unlimited pita. One of my favorites is their Bhel hummus; you cannot go wrong with it. It tastes so fresh and absolutely delicious! I know their potatoes are very popular, but I thought they were only okay. Not that they weren&

There is just something special about the Lettuce Entertainment Group; they have their "Mojo" working on all cylinders. I have eaten at many of "Lettuce's" restaurants and on this night, Ema's was my latest choice. Ema&#
Love the food here and at Ema Rotisserie.
Definitely try the frozen yogurt with the pistachio topping!
One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! I love
One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! I love everything on the menu, but my favorite dish is probably the stracciatella. I would fly to Chicago just to have it again. The service was top notch every time that I have visited Ema, and the resta

I recall the service being fantastic.
My girlfriend and I went for a girl dinner. We are both vegetarian so we asked our server if he had any recommendations from the cold mezzes. We were between two different mezzes and ultimately chose the bhel hummus, but he was so sweet, he comped us

Mid food (had the halibut and hummus w lamb -- which btw the Bhel is better), expensive price. Ambience and service were good. Will probably not return as there are better Mediterranean food elsewhere.

Should be 3.
5 stars: So I tried to make a reservation on their open table but it said it wasn't working so we just walked in. We waited for so long, and honestly almost left. They were packed for Tuesday (not sure if this is the norm). The restaurant itself is g
Elegant vibe.
Took my daughter here for her birthday and not only did the server tell her happy birthday, but the manager came over and did also!
Such a beautiful place with amazing food.
The staff got us in quickly during lunch hours and attended to us quickly. We ordered some hummus and kebabs and they were amazing!
Delicious food, kind service and beautiful restaurant.
All plates were amazing! Highly recommend the lamb Kafka

My husband and I have now been here twice and both times we had a great time! This past visit, we tried the tuna carpaccio which was delicious. We also tried the spicy hummus which my husband really enjoyed. I preferred the regular one. The pita bre
Good food, it's a shareable plates type of place.
The brussel sprouts were delicious as well as the rosemary potatoes. The kebabs were good too.
Grilled octopus is incredible.
And everything else from hummus to dips to skewers. Top Notch find in a city that already has so many incredible spots.
The Whole Package
Outstanding evening sharing small plates at Ema - and we follow mostly a whole food plant based eating style. Beautiful airy space (especially when open to patio on the warm day), impeccable service and delicious food. Bridget did an excellent job

The pita and hummus are amazing!!!! Our server kindly gave my family two free desserts for my birthday. Service was kinda slow, i feel like they acted busier than it really seemed in the restaurant however i dont work at a restaurant and maybe they
The food was amazing.
The cocktails were great. The food made up for the "couldn't be bothered" attitude of the hostess. Most of the staff had an air of pretentiousness and entitlement. It was a strange vibe. Our waiter was pleasant and funny enough, but still a

It was my first time eating here and first time trying the Shakshuka, OMG! This place was incredible, I'm giving 5stars on the food, and service alone!

Ema is a fantastic Mediterranean gem in Chicago! The space is minimal and modern. The feta appetizers were standouts. For entrees, I was recommended the chicken skewer which were a bit of a miss as they were rather dry. While pricey, the creative fl
Absolutely delicious.
Great vibes, incredible service, and the mushroom hummus is the best I've ever had!
Good Mediterranean food but the service was a little slow.
We went during summer so their patio/outdoor seating was open as well and the ambiance is beautiful.
Perfect spot for girl dinner (Get the Brussel Sprouts and
Perfect spot for girl dinner (Get the Brussel Sprouts and split a bottle of red). Ambiance is moody, casual, and laid back, but still feels sophisticated. Need I say more?
Still great! Beautiful decor.
Excellent service. The food can't be beat. They have the best WARM fluffy pita that was awesome slathered in their labneh or eggplant dips. Had to have the crispy potatoes again. Hamachi was fresh. Great for a light lunch.
Overall the food is great and delicious.
I have tried other Mediterranean restaurant in the city, but this is the best one I had so far. The 2 spreads: The mushroom hummus was awesome, not salty at all. The mushroom and radish add a nice crunch to the spread. And the charred eggplant was
A delicious Night in the Mediterranean
We set up a group dinner for 12 here this month and it was AMAZING!! Staff accommodated a couple special diets (GF,Soy,Dairy) with ease and the food was so delicious along with drinks. The service was over the top wonderful and it was a delightful
Tasty food
It was not a good start as my knife came dirty from the kitchen. Other than that (forgotten and forbidden now), food was really tasty. I had a fresh sald and a juicy salmon. I needed fresh food and Ema played the trick. I can recommend it.
Walk in
We were a ‘walk in’ and my daughter and I got seated right away. The olive & feta appetizer was our favorite. The falafel was too over cooked & dry, unfortunately.
Great food gluten free menu
We came here on a Sunday night at 5:45. We sat outside, which was beautiful and not too crowded. We loved all of our appetizers, included crispy potatoes, brussels sprouts, green falafel, and hummus. We had the Greek salad. If you’re gluten free, a
Terrible experience
I have never had worst service !!! The staff is very dismissive and the server spilled water on me and the table while serving my guests and did not even recognize or apologize. I will not be EVER coming back
Quick lunch at the bar was definitely worth the stop.
We were in a hurry, but we really wanted try taste this restaurant before we left Chicago. We sat at the bar and the food came out consistently and in a timely manner to everyone around us. We had the eggplant as a starter and shared a Greek salad an

Came here with a friend who has Celiac, most everything was gluten free or could be made gluten free with a few exceptions. We ordered the toasted almond and garlic spread (probably my favorite of the whole meal), green falafel, pan-roasted Romanesqu
Ema in the spring
So delicious. Come hungry because the flavors will consume you. It is a family style meal. The portions are perfectly curated. We ordered the brussel sprouts, potatoes, labneh and keftah. We could not have picked a better combination to introduce us
Really like this place.
Good food. Good portions. Service was great. Even tho it is attached to the Hyatt it has a feel of a stand alone restaurant.

this place was highly recommended to me by a friend prior to my trip to chicago. my friend and I came in on a friday night not really expecting to get seated since we didn't have a reservation. fortunately, we asked for bar seating and we got really
this place is so good - please try it if you're in the area.
I did not have a single bad food item, everything was amazing from the octopus to the brussel sprouts to the hummus. Will be back!
This place used to be great.
Food was tasteless. Wine tasted like it was poured from a bottle that's been open for a week. Staff was terrible and looked miserable. Bad vibe all around. Unusual for a Lettuce restaurant. Place was packed though, so maybe I'm missing something. Muc
Food was good but, to me, overrated.
Some really nice flavor profiles, like the ahi tuna within a couscous salad, the berries and beets, and the hummus and BREAD. The fried potatoes were good but...gigantic, borderline unwieldy chunks of potato (think a third to half of a potato). The b

Our reservation was at 130pm.
Seated at 2pm after standing around waiting for table to be cleaned. The manager gave a a dirty look when I asked, for the third time, when our table would be set - which remained I cleaned. The table had Been vacant for 15 minutes without any settin

If in the River North area of Chicago and looking for great Mediterranean dishes then Ema is a must. Both the Grilled Halloumi and Lamb & Beef Kefta were perfect this evening.

Connect with users posting reservations for Ema Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Ema Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ema Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ema Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Ema Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ema Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
