Fodor's Review:

Somali, North African, and Middle Eastern cuisines are combined to form simple but flavorful entrées at Café Nema. Grilled chicken, lamb, and beef kebabs and salmon steak are paired with fresh vegetables and an outstanding curried basmati rice pilaf that has bits of caramelized onion, cloves, and raisins. Sambousa (flaky fried triangles of dough filled with curried vegetables or meat) and hummus appetizers are well prepared. There's a good selection of pastas, salads, and sandwiches. Live jazz plays on Thursday.
