Had the Triple S and Somali chicken sandwich.. They were both great. The triple S taste like a spicy beef stew inside a panini.. delicious.. the chai tea is lightly spiced. perfect. I will be back and go through the rest of this menu in time..And free African donuts.!

When people say that Worcester has a great food scene (‘if you can find it’) they are talking about Fatima’s cafe. I couldn’t tell you what’s better—the food or the welcoming service from Omar.

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.

This place is service forward. We were the only ones in an hour before close so we had their full attention, but I feel like if they had more guests they would’ve been just as attentive.

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.

The man at the counter is so welcoming and nice!! The food is cooked to perfection and fresh, even when ordered for pick up. Seriously the best samosas in the city that I’ve tried!! 10/10 experience.

This place is amazing. I suggest ordering a hot cup of their chai tea with milk and one sugar. It’ll be one of the best chai teas you’ll ever have. It’s aromatic and the flavor is on point.

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.

We got a take out order from Fatima’s last week and everything was amazing. We live nearby and I had searched Ethiopian food on a whim only to find out this place is around the corner. We will definitely be back! The service was attentive and kind, the samosas were delicious and the chicken sandwich was sooooo tasty. Everything was well spiced and flavorful. Grateful to realize this business is so close!!

Food is wonderful. Excellent service. It is a basic atmosphere, but the wonderful North African food is the real draw. Great for a quick lunch or take out. Easy access on and off the highway too. We will be back!

We stopped by Fatima’s Cafe en route from Boston to Western Mass. We had been there before, more than a year ago, and Omai recognized us immediately. The food was once again incredibly delicious. Everything is homemade and the care and attention shine through. Omai is warm and welcoming and we’re already looking forward to our next visit when we pass through Worcester. Do yourself a huge favor and give this gem of a restaurant a try!

Delicious, flavorful, and hot food! Super good! I had a beef stew with two vegetable stews and the bread to go with it. The beef stew was AMAZING! So flavorful and tasty! We also got three other dishes which were also all flavorful and tasted very good. All of the dishes were made right to order, nice and hot. The man taking our order was super nice and kind. I recommend coming here if you want really good food! They’re only doing take out right now, so just walk up to the window and order there or order ahead.

Omar and his wife Fatima are so friendly and this a great small family owned restaurant. They are happy to just chat with you if you there.
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.
