"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."

"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.!"

"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 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."

"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!!"
