  First of all, they are not cheap anymore as mentioned in google. Everything which was 6$ are now 11$. It was a surprise for me. Planned to get two items and ended up getting one. Now, the food was great and tasty. Portion was a lot for one person. The ambience might repulse you but good food no doubt. Just take to go and enjoy. Also the google maps do not take directly to the restaurant. Watch out.

  After seeing pictures online, I gave International Cafe a chance despite the run-down look of it. The staff messed up my order but was very friendly and gave me an additional entree free of charge. I took off two stars because of the quality of the food. The meat was mostly bones and fat. The vegetable dips and bread were delicious. If the prices were cheaper (less than $10.50) I wouldn't mind as much. The portions were mostly rice however with the sparse meat.

  The International Cafe is a small, hole-in-the-wall type restaurant, located on the corner of Harney and 25th street. There is a good amount of parking out front, but you can only turn in from 25th.
  
  The outside is a little run down (because of construction), but they definitely make up for it with the food. I ordered the Rice Gyro Plate as recommended by one of the workers. The food took about 5 to 10 minutes. Included in the plate was a small salad, a kind of short grain rice with a tomato-based sauce on top, and finally some thinly sliced beef. The whole plate was topped with a creamy, savory sauce. The meat was tender, moist and tasty, while the sauce and salad added a nice complement. It was definitely worth the price ($10) for some delicious Ethiopian food.
  
  If you are in the mood for some ethnic food, this is the place to be. As one of the only Ethiopian food places in the area, I was really excited to visit because of the excellent reviews- and I was not disappointed.

  My friend and I have been on a mission to find the best ethnic foods in Omaha (we are both Asian and quite tired of eating burgers). One of our classmates had recommended International Cafe so we stopped by one evening! We both had the lamb injera (natural source of iron! Big fan). So. Good. I definitely did not need the extra injera, though, it was an insane amount of food. The man working was very friendly. He offered us a delicious, green colored hot sauce that we subsequently requested more of. Highly recommend!

  Amazing hole in the wall steps from my hotel room.  I am Kenyan and licked my fingers through it all. I had the Zambusas and lamb and salad.... heavenly!!!!
