Fatima's Cafe

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. H

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.!

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 thoug

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.
