Zoma Express

Ethiopian restaurants bring a distinct rhythm to New York’s dining scene, offering flavors that travel straight from the Horn of Africa to the table. Zoma Express fits neatly into this tradition, serving up dishes that balance hearty comfort with lighter, plant-based choices. The menu leans into both classic and contemporary tastes, making it a spot where solo diners and small groups can find something to suit the moment—whether that’s a quick bite or a full meal.

The restaurant sits at 973 Columbus Ave in New York, NY 10025, a stretch of the city where neighborhood energy meets steady foot traffic. Here, the pace feels just right for those who want to grab a meal without the wait, though the option to dine in remains open for anyone who prefers to linger. Curbside pickup adds a layer of convenience, especially for those navigating the city’s usual hustle.

With offerings that include vegan and vegetarian plates alongside more traditional comfort food, the place manages to keep things flexible. Lunch and dinner crowds tend to overlap, creating a steady hum that feels neither rushed nor sluggish. If you’re curious about what’s on the menu or want to place an order ahead of time, a call to (646) 370-6864 can sort out the details.
