International Cafe,

2416 Farnam Street, Omaha, NE 68131

"Simple building. People as so nice. The food is so good. Very affordable. Just the right amount of spice. This is what we picked for our Christmas dinner! So lovely. The goat was a bit grisly, lamb so tender, rice is to die for, and love the tea,"

"Like most people are saying it may have an unassuming look, but the food speaks for itself. We got the Gyro and Injera with Lamb and both were delicious. This was an awesome find."

"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!"

"We stopped by for some Ethiopian food thinking it would be similar to Somali food. We got the chicken suqar and lamb with rice since they were out of goat. The plates were pretty big but the meat seemed to make up less of the plate. There was some vegetable curry that made up most of the plate. The rice was a little too greasy for our liking and it wasn’t as aromatic as we had expected. We asked for the spicy green sauce which was delicious. I’m not sure if the two cuisines (Somali and Ethiopian) are similar or if theyre completely different. We weren’t as pleased because we compared it to what we were used to but it might be more delicious to others who like the cuisine."

"Delicious! The interior leaves a bit to be desired, but the awesome food and great prices swiftly make up for it. The veggie combo with injera was on par with the best I've had. The service was quick and kind. The menu has a few vegetarian options plus quite a few others. This place is definitely worth checking out!"
