Kenyatta JohnsonJanuary 31, 2015The Jameson Uptown Ginger was awesome. The staff was great. The vegetarian combination dinner was delicious. I won't wait so long for my next visit. It's a must when you visit Harlem.
Time Out New YorkJuly 18, 2018Elevated Ethiopian food matches the sleek environs at this uptown eatery, featuring a crisp white dining room, warmly lit by candles and an elegant chandelier. Read more
amNewYorkMay 5, 2013This cozy spot offers dishes such as Yebeg Aticha (lamb marinated with ginger and rosemary spices) and Zoma Tibs (cubed filet mignon pieces marinated in green peppers and red onions).
Honghui YuOctober 2, 2014Skip the meat dishes and go straight for the vegetarian items (this is coming from an avid meat eater). The shiro wett was my personal favorite.- Kenyatta JohnsonMarch 10, 2018Had the vegetarian combo. Delicious as usual. I first went there in 2009 and go at least once a year. I definitely need to go at once a season.
Virginie LiaoMarch 2, 2015Ethiopian coffee is quite bitter, the sugar cubes were a critical need for its enjoyment. The big platter with bread and assorted foods is recommended, good for sharing.
The tilapia and the veggie sampler for two are both great. I also recommend the lentil sambusa appetizer. Top it all off with a glass of honey wine.- Sofrito inmySoulJuly 1, 2018Loving my dinner at Zoma in Harlem! Delicious Ethiopian food! #harlem #Ethiopianfood #eater #sofrito #foodie #foodiechsys #instafood
Tommi HurmeSeptember 2, 2013Vegetarian combination had only 4 dishes, they could have added a few more. The lamb dish was phenomenal.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011The combination platters are marvelously complex. The tej, an Ethiopian-style honey wine, is made by Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville, N.Y., the oldest winery in the U.S. - Inspector
Ethiopian food looks like baby food but tastes pretty good. It's best when spicy. It's traditionally eaten with your hands, but I say to hell with tradition and ask for a fork. You'll be glad you did!
Cameron McClureApril 27, 2014The kitfo and the yebeg alitcha are incredible. The biggest surprise was the exquisite tiramisu.
Twan ClaiborneMay 28, 2014Amazing food, amazing ambiance, and amazing drinks. Try the Jameson Uptown Ginger.
The owner Henock is amazing...great service...the Tibs and Honey Wine is the absolute best!! My favorite servers are Lilly and Edan! They are sweet and beautiful!
Mark HimmelsbachDecember 2, 2012You can order a two-veggie two-meat combination platter. Do that and the honey wine.
Akiko BombitaSeptember 13, 2014Great ambiance and Ethiopian music. The shiro wat is a delicious vegetarian choice.
Lynnessa H JoynerDecember 19, 2017For a first time eating Ethiopian food, this was a nice experience...I did think it was a bit pricey however...
CompassMay 15, 2014Modern Ethiopian dishes are glammed up at Zoma, where the decorations show off African jewelry and bright fabrics.
Stuart R.June 24, 2012Good food, though a tad overpriced. Try a combo platter for variety, and eat the sambusas as an appetizer.
- Doro Tibs and honey wine...truly unbeatable combo and must haves when here at Zoma!!
Paulo AlvesJuly 10, 2011Eff what anyone says. Eat with ur hands and enjoy. Also the food does not look like baby food. And it is incredible
Go to Zoma and eat the Zoma Tibs and drink the honey wine.
