User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI do not know if you have been to Cafe Nema lately, it is worth the trip!! The place has undergone a physical transformation but the food and the ambience are as great as ever. When my girlfriends and I went last week, the crowd looked like members of the United Nations and everyone we talked to was interesting and respectful. What a great place! I WILL BE BACK!
User Rating: 3 out of 5 starsU Street: It's a long, narrow building, as most are along U Street. Dark. One bathroom. Nothing special about the decor, but this place does have a nice vibe. I didn't try the food. I went to Cafe Nema to see Asheru's Guerilla Lounge. I was pleased to see a melange of people -- Black, White, old, young -- but that's not so out-of-the-ordinary in DC. This would be the type of place I'd frequent if I lived closer. The choice of performers is on the jazzy side, which I enjoy, but they also offer some rap and neo-soul. Cafe Nema contributes to the heartbeat of legendary U Street.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThe Best Ethnic Resturant in Shaw!: Cafe Nema is best little kept secret in Shaw. On your next trip to DC take the Metro to Historic U-street and see the Lincoln Theater and when you're ready to sit down for a meal, go down the block and visit Cafe Nema.
