This intimate neighborhood gem celebrates authentic Ethiopian cuisine crafted by native Ethiopians Henock and Fitsum, delivering vibrant, freshly prepared dishes with a modern sensibility and uncompromising quality. Diners rave about the exceptional hospitality, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere that makes guests feel welcomed like honored family, while the scratch-made offerings—from perfectly spiced Kitfo and Tibs to aromatic Shiro—showcase genuine flavor and care in every bite. With gluten-free teff injera, generous portions, and a commitment to healthy, vegan-friendly options, Zoma Express represents a thoughtful revival of a once-Michelin-recognized kitchen now thriving in its new location.
Reviewers consistently praise Zoma Express for exceptionally fresh, flavorful, and authentic Ethiopian cuisine, with specific mentions of standout dishes including kitfo, tibs, shiro, and the high-quality injera made from 100% teff. Multiple guests highlight the owner's exceptional warmth and attentiveness—proactively bringing additional injera, offering recommendations, and even providing complimentary tastings—alongside the intimate, cozy atmosphere and fair pricing. Several reviewers who tried the original location before it closed during COVID express relief and enthusiasm about the reopening, noting this location offers Ethiopian food quality they had been unable to find elsewhere in New York City.
