Yay Ethiopian food!! My bf has never tried it before so we decided to pay Zoma a visit. We don't have that much variety in Erie.
Parking: super easy since there is free parking after 6pm on the street. If there is ever a time where there is no parking there is a 24 hr metered parking area a block away.
Service and interior: Quick and friendly service. The place is homey with artwork on the walls, an awesome lit tree, and monitors for anyone who wants to eat in front of a tele just like some of y'all do at home. Mary Poppins was on lol. Incense was mild. Bathroom is sorta odd...there is a halfway done bathroom without walls or doors right across from the actual finished bathroom. Ask someone if you're lost!
Food: We ordered the zoma special combo platter for 32.99. The menu said our dish would serve 2-3 people and I would have to say it's more like 3 people. My BF and I are both fatasses and we couldn't even finish it. We wanted to though because it was pretty good! The combo was a huge platter of 5 different veggie options and 4 meat items served on injera bread with 4 rolled up pieces of injera on the side. You rip up the injera bread and use it to dip or scoop up whatever you want. So yes you do eat with your hands so please wash your hands before you eat. They give you wet towelettes when you sit to make it easier for you. My bf loved the spicy beef stew, and I liked their beef tibs! Their injera is more mild and not as sour as other injera breads I have had.
I still miss Ethiopian food from LA but I'm happy there is one here in Cleveland that is pretty yummy to satisfy cravings.
Would recommend? If you live in the area and want to try something different, then yes!
