International Cafe

My first time trying lamb. I’m a flight attendant, and when I have a layover in Omaha, there are usually lots of choices to chose from. However, today is July 4th, and all the food places are closed downtown. Except, International Cafe. I enjoy exploring new foods, but lamb and goat were a little out of my comfort zone. I decided to give the Lamb Plate a try, and really liked it! Not to mention, the place was busy. Lots of locals coming in and out, so I felt that was a good sign. The quality of food was really fresh and I loved the flavor! Omaha, you are very lucky to have a taste of quality Ethiopian food in your neighborhood. My order came with a little green sauce on the side, and it was delicious! Restaurants like International Cafe offer variety and a chance to explore other cultures’ cuisine. Glad I tried it, next time, maybe I will try the goat!

Incredible food, good price, really laid back atmosphere. I enjoy going out to try new cuisine and this was my first time here. Before leaving the man behind the counter offered us hot sauce. Usually I’m not a hot sauce person at all but I still like to try them because why not. WOW!!! I’m absolutely hooked. 10/10 will be back

This restaurant will always have a special place in my heart. I live in the Miami, FL area, however my wife is originally from Omaha, and years back when I used to fly into Omaha to visit her, she had introduced me, for the first time in my life, to Somali/Ethiopian cuisine. We have a very small community of these phenomenal cultures back home in South Florida, so I didn't have any exposure to the savory and rich flavors their cuisines have to offer. Automatically, Somali food has become one of my favorite kinds of food, and my foodie journey has never been the same. I always order the goat with rice whenever I pay International Cafe a visit.

I usually order their chicken gyro plate and love it. My only complaint is that it's not consistent like sometimes it'll have different vegetables than other times and sometimes it's not as good as it is other times but been going here for years and I will continue to do so, I've Just go with the expectations that it might be different from last time

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. This is a small family-owned business serving Ethiopian food. I eat here at least once a month. My favorite plate is the injera, which I like with the gyro meat , or lamb, or goat. The fried tilapia is also excellent. Meals can come with rice, or spaghetti, and is usually accompanied with a small salad. The flavors on each of the dishes is so delicious that I have often been tempted to lick the plate. Portions are more than adequate and prices are very reasonable! I have always left here more than satisfied. If you want a true international experience, eat here!
