Hanat Restaurant/Somali Restaurant - 10. Lunch Goat Meat with Rice

This is a small locally owned business. The appetizers of Sambusa and pillow bread are outstanding…read more The Sambusa of this day was full of spiced tender beef, carrots, and onions making it a great tasting meat hand-pie. The pillow bread was a perfect vehicle to scoop up the chickpeas. The meat platter includes spiced stir fried beef, chicken and fried fish. To note, the fish was seasoned deliciously, very lightly breaded, and cook to tender goodness. I liked the sides veggies that came with the meal of a chickpea stew and braised collard greens. The meal was also accompanied with rice (not pictured) and the rice was a lovely pilaf style rice. Pro tip, this is a long building and the entrance to this restaurant is on Douglas St NOT 25th st. Open the door, and you will be met with a long hallway with 8 "suites". This restaurant is at the very end on the right. If the sign says closed, but the door to the "suite" is open, the restaurant is open. To note about the decor, it is sparse. The overhead lighting in the dining area is on a 2 min motion sensor, so if there aren't a lot of people, you will have "mood lighting" most of the time. Also, the building and space is clean, but utilitarian. This place is about the food not decor.

The food was so so delicious! It's a big portion so it's definitely worth the price. The food taste…read morefresh and warm! The combination of salad, rice,meat,beans was just so GOOD! I love how she included the banana and the sauces it just made it better. Service was quick and fast I was there less than 5 minutes which is great since I was on lunch break. Masha'Allah I'll definitely be coming back

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. I am glad to see that other reviewers love…read moreit as well. This is fantastic Ethiopian food. I have eaten here dozens of times over the past 15 years or so. The vegetarian injera platter is amazing! The meat entrees are great too, but keep in mind that the goat and lamb is chopped bone-in and might not be what you're accustomed to. Injera is amazing, it's a soft pancake made from teff, you tear it and use it to eat with. Utensils are provided if you want to use them. There isn't anything else that tastes like this, it is SO GOOD. My husband always gets the chicken gyro plate, which is rice, chicken meat, gyro meat, sauce, and salad. The rice is delicious, with a gentle, aromatic spice. The hot tea is similar to a chai, there's not milk in it but that's made up with a ton of sugar. I love it. The decor and signage - well, it's perfect for here. It might seem run down. It's fine. Once you get the food you will only be looking at your food. Portions are huge. TIP: the injera is a high-histamine food, like a lot of restaurant food is. I have to take a Benadryl after eating this (and other kinds of) food. Otherwise, sometimes I will have a headache, itch, stomachache if my overall histamine load is high. I'm pointing it out because a lot of the time when people go out to eat, they have a stomachache later and think it might have been something wrong with the food. I think this is why Chinese restaurants were criticized. It's not the food. Look up "histamine intolerance" for more info. There is a chess club/tournament that meets here on Thursdays and Saturdays. They seemed very welcoming. They enthusiastically invited me to join them but I don't play chess. Check out RCTO.us for more info. Parking is not great. There are meters out front, but there is free parking on the west side of the building, there is usually space available. You can enter through the door there as well.

Another amazing hidden gem. I stayed across the street in the hotel two separate occasions. Saw…read morethis come up on the restaurant reviews and that it was highly rated, but I allowed the exterior to give me second guesses. Too bad I missed out previously. Amazing food. Prices crazy low. Grant it, I'm from the West Coast but $10 for a fully loaded lamb gyro and a Diet Coke. Is amazing. I left a healthy tip. Restaurants actually quite large inside and definitely has some real good international flavor. Highly recommended. Now that I know about it I'll definitely be back. Friendly service.
