I ordered the Special Tibs, which had been my go-to dish from this restaurant for years. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed to see how much the quality has declined. What used to be such a great dish was now extremely greasy, with burnt meat and an overall poor taste and quality. Truly heartbreaking to see. RIP Zemeda Special Tibs. 😔 *** Update in response to the owner’s comment*** No one paid me to leave this review. I’ve ordered the Special Tibs many times because it used to be one of my favorite dishes, which is exactly why I noticed the decline in quality. My review was simply based on my most recent experience—the food was excessively greasy, the meat was burnt, and the overall taste and quality were disappointing. I’m not attacking your business; I’m sharing my honest experience as a longtime customer. I’m also not obligated to leave a positive review every time I have a good meal in order for a negative review to be considered fair or honest. Reviews are about sharing individual experiences, and unfortunately, this particular experience was a very disappointing one for me.
