Beautiful cafe with great decor and artwork. There’s a covered outdoor area and 2 indoor dining rooms. The room with the bar was cozy and very comfortable. The menu has a huge range of choices and everything sounded amazing. We ended up getting the Egyptian Kitchen and Indian paella, which were both absolutely delicious. The hostess and server were both very friendly and service was awesome. We came here for drinks before but now that we’ve had the food here, we will definitely be coming back for more!
Color me shocked. We showed up without a reservation and had to wait about an hour and a half (our fault, not the restaurants) but let me tell you what... Freaking WORTH IT. I tried the Sari Wrap, the Punjabi Samosas, and the banana trifle. All top teir dishes that just blew me out of the water. None of it seemed like it was nuked in a microwave, because it nuked me out of my senses. I literally almost cried trying the Sari Wrap. Everything tasted very traditional and authentic, the people were lovely, the atmosphere was wonderful. 10/10 would go again next time I'm in Louisville. Heck, I might come up just for Ramsi's. Maybe next time we will make a reservation! 🤣
I had a great Sunday evening dining experience at Ramsi's Cafe on the World. Here are some noteworthy aspects of my visit that might be useful in planning your trip:
Providing that weather is decent, off-street parking in the surrounding area should suffice. I recommend you allow 30-60 minutes for a leisurely walk to the venue. As a bonus, one to three laps around the area can help work up an appetite.
Judging from the lack of a crowd upon arrival, reservations seemed unnecessary — but I still recommend going through OpenTable for the peace of mind and the points.
Whether you dine indoors or outdoors on the patio, Ramsi's is packed with low-key conversation pieces that create a novel but relaxed atmosphere. The patio is optimal in my book, however.
As far as the menu goes, there is something for everybody on this menu. The drink menu had some intriguing sours and the appetizer menu had several temptations. Ultimately, however, I went with the tortellini graciella with chicken, which I understand to be a house favorite, and the staff thoughtfully prepared a stir-fry with grouper (fish), potatoes, and other mixed vegetables, which after many visits to the kitchen our thoughtful, kind, and pleasant waiter, Sol, helped arrange (as my girlfriend needed an option that was 100% free of egg, dairy, gluten, cane sugar, and oats). Just in case we wanted more of a kick, Sol even brought us some cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes, which were greatly appreciated.
We will absolutely return in the future. The jerk tortellini has been on my mind ever since Sol mentioned it as a possibility for the next visit. 🤤
