The food is HOT, made to order, and delicious. Well cooked and made with love. I had the E. African dinner plate with chicken stew, mixed vegetables and Bata (sweet potatoes, yuca), and the Somali Anjero (like a fluffy crepe). I don’t typically care for chai tea but Fatima’s chai was so repeatedly recommended on here that I had to try it. Absolutely delicious. If you like hot sauce, they make their own and it is perfect.
This was my first time at Fatima’s, and it couldn’t possibly be my last. Almost every patron that came in after me seemed to have a personal connection with Omar, the front man. He is so funny, and so warm. He welcomed me 3x, walked me through the menu, and explained how to best enjoy my meal. This place is a gem. Cannot wait to be back.
The gentleman, presumably the owner, is a real down to earth dude. Honest and funny.
We split a platter and I’d say it’s more than enough food for two people. It was suggested to us to get extra bread because it would’ve been easier to pick up the food with. I started to at first, but discovered it was easier to just dig in under the platter and get a scoop of bread and whatever mixture was above it. ..not the most authentic approach, but it worked for us.
The food itself was delicious. With so many options you’re bound to favor one thing over something else. I loved the mixed veg in the middle. I thought the lentils were a little underseadoned. Everything in-between was wonderful.
We started the meal the Chai teas. Not too sweet with a good balance of spice. I could’ve easily ordered another at the end of the meal. Don’t not get the Chai tea.
Bathroom on site, plenty of good seating. Parking seems to be in the back. We didn’t turn quick enough and it’s a one-way street so we parked down the street.
I ordered their beef dish and mixed vegetables. The portion is generous, the flavor is out of this world, and the owner and his family are welcoming and warm.
One of my favorite restaurants in Worcester. Food is very flavorful and comforting. Meat samosas were yummy and make sure to get their “hot sauce” which was great. It’s spicy and sorta similar to a salsa Verde.
Ethiopian platter was good for two but I’d also recommend getting an extra side of anjero bread which another reviewer pointed out.
Their Ugali and anjero are my favorite, but I’ve tried almost everything on their menu and love it all.
