If you want to try some incredible Ethiopian food, make sure to go check out ZeMeda Restaurant. DJ was very helpful in making some great recommendations. My wife and I enjoyed every last bit of the meal.

Used to eat here all the time with the family but service and the food quality has dropped for the past yr and half. Not sure if it’s different management but the food portions are smaller, service, specially carry out is always super late and delivery is always longer than it used to. They used to be known for both , fast delivery and great quality. Not sure what they are known for now .

Had a great experience at ZeMeda my first time here. My friends and family brought me and we had a great time. Great food and great service. I was really impressed with the veggie combo. It tasted good and presentation was nice. Shiro and pasta as well.

Just discovered this place two weeks ago and just went back again tonight. This is our new favorite Ethiopian restaurant. It’s more of a sports bar feel but the service is great and the food is the best. The vegetarian platter is the best we’ve add anywhere but our discovery was the beef. We rarely eat beef but thought we’d try it and it was so delicious! We couldn’t resist again the second time we went and it was just as good! We’ll be back for sure!

Super Awesome service ! My dinner was nothing but delicious . I drove all the way for 40 mins and it was so worth every mile. I had the Vegetarian/Vegan Firfir and Samosa. I’ve tried many Ethiopian spots and this tops the chart. As a First time customer always looking for good food; ZeMeda is not a place you want to miss for Great dishes and a chill atmosphere

Andalusia Hookah
One of the best Ethiopian food ever. Consistency of the food and service are always on point. It you want to enjoy sport event and some good coffee ( traditionally or macchiato) this is the place to be hands down.
