Went here for lunch today with a group from work. We ordered the hummus and pita. Instead of pita the restaurant served us burnt tortillas. Looked like they had to scramble to find the ‘real’ pitas… Will not be back.

We loved this restaurant. The next time we are in Omaha, we will definitely go back. The owner and his family were so friendly.

Stay away!!! This place is not anything like real Persian food. I give anyone fair warning that this place is a total rip off. They served us David Stone Chardonnay that you can buy at Walgreens for $ 5, but they charged $ 30 a bottle for it. The food is terrible, nothing good about it. I am beyond perplexed that any person with functioning taste buds can give this place a good review. Yes the space is lovely, but it in no way makes up for the utterly horrible food and scandalous prices. Go to the Boiler room or the French restaurant across he street.

I really like the layout of this place! Great little indoor seating and our door as well! We enjoyed the sun and our meals on the small patio seating. If you are looking for Persian food in the Old Market this is you spot! Now I will also say it was probably the least adventurous meal we ate on our trip to Omaha. The food was good, the falafel was good tasting but the presentation we not there! We ordered two different meals and they pretty much looked the same except mine had a bread behind it. The staff was nice and the price was fairly common. It was good, just not great! I would have like to maybe comeback in the evening and tried something else on the menu.

We came upon Ahmad’s while walking in the Old Market, and although neither of us had ever eaten Persian food before, we both love middle eastern food in general and were eager to try it. Ahmad’s is a tiny place, and I was initially apprehensive when the door was locked(it was 11:35 and the door said they opened at 11:30) and the waiter told us that Ahmad was«on his way.» Umm… How long were we going to wait to eat? Only about 25 minutes, including the 2 – 3 minutes it took Ahmad to get there! Apparently, most of their customers come later for lunch, so they weren’t in a hurry to open, which was a good thing for us! I was so glad we stayed. We had a falafel appetizer, which was excellent — I love falafel but I’m a snob, I like Palestinian falafel. This was only slightly different, but fresh and crisp with a great flavor. I had a vegetarian dish with onions and peas in a tomato sauce, served with rice and salad — the flavors of the sauce reminded me strongly of Indian food(which I also love), and the rice had a very mellow, almost sweet flavor. He had some kind of kabob that he said didn’t taste like anything he has ever had before — but it was gone pretty quickly, so I think it must have been as good as mine. Ahmad and the waiter were both helpful and attentive, and when Ahmad learned we were from out of town, he was quick to welcome us and offer advice. Definitely worth a stop in Omaha!

I guess everyone has different tastes but I really like Ahmad’s. Small restaurant so staff are never far away. I don’t have Persian friends so have nothing to compare it too. But I like to try different things. The owner is very friendly and will remember you. Recommended!

Never try this restaurant, we found a hair in the food! Also, it is wayy expensive! I wish I could give it less than 1 star!

Simply terrible. Service was terrible, all the«servers» we’re on their cell phones the entire time. They spent more time flirting with one another then paying any attention to the customers. We orders a few appetizers which took far too long to arrive. Once they did everything was burnt and flavorless. Save your money for a place that cares.

I had high expectations for this place, unfortunately it did not deliver. Let me explain what this place is. It’s for the true Nebraskan who hasn’t tasted anything other than good old Midwestern cooking. If that local Mexican joint around the corner is your definition of eating adventurously, by all means try this place. I have Persian friends and I don’t know who makes this food but I know for a fact it is not authentic Persian food. Don’t waste your money. There are plenty of awesome options in the Old Market and Ahmad’s is not one of them. Eat the Worm and Blue Sushi are two places that come to mind.

What a find! The food here was fantastic, from the Hummos to the Tehran Chicken. Delicious, quick and filling. Atmosphere was great as well. Friendly staff and proprietor — just good people! Great experience that’s worth the little extra you might pay. Good stuff here.

Went to this restaurant since it was suggested by an acquaintance. DON’T GOTHERE! This was one of the worst dining experiences I have EVER had. After just one taste of my koobeedeh kebab, I did not eat more. It was tasteless. I know Persian food very well, grew up eating it. I informed the server that I did not like my food. The owner(he also cooks the food) came out and told me that there was nothing wrong with the food and charged me for it. That’s an awful attitude for anyone in the hospitality business.

Ahmad’s is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha! The food is amazing! The flavors are unmatched. I wish i lived closer, I would eat there on a regular. The service is great, Ahmad makes you feel like part of the family!

I really like the food and the service is friendly and efficient. Ahmad is a very friendly sort. The salmon is good but I always have a kabob with rice, tomatoes and sauce– eat every bit with all of them on your fork! Downside is it’s a bit pricey for lunch for what you get and the menu is limited but I eat here at least a few times a month. I do recommend it.

I was recently in Omaha on Business. I found Ahmad’s and made sure I ate every meal I could there in the 4 days I was in Omaha. The owner, Ahmad, is a WONDERFUL man and the Welcome, Tea, Food, Conversation and Total Experience was SUPERB! My favorite meal is the Hummus, Jujeh Kabob and Baklava. I loved how when the food was served, the wait staff gave the recommended way to eat the dish. I am seriously going thru withdrawals now just typing this!

This is located in the Old Market area of Omaha. Inside, it’s got some interesting murals on the wall, brightly colored Persian/Muslim-looking themes. Went here on a weekday lunch with a colleague. It’s kind of small inside, no more than ten tables. It was fairly empty when we came in, maybe two other groups were there? We sat down, and Shaun, the server came over and took our drink orders. Perhaps not Shaun’s fault, but there was something floating in my colleague’s glass of water. Kind of gross, but when the server came back, he got us some new water. The menu is pretty standard Mediterranean/Persian fare, my colleague ordered the falafel sandwich, and I ordered the chicken sandwich. On the menu, it says the sandwiches are served on lahvosh, which seems odd, as I remember lahvosh being flat and crunchy, not really fodder for a sandwich? When we got our food, it seemed more like our stuff was served on a tortilla. It was soft, sort of cooked bread, not what I remember lahvosh is like. Maybe this is a regional, thing, I don’t know. Anyway, regardless, not very sandwich-like. That aside, the food itself was seasoned well enough, and the prices were moderate. I give it a solid three and half stars: Grossed out by the water thing. Not the best customer service(seemed slow for how empty it was), and not the worst. I’d try it again, for sure, just because I like Persian food, but I won’t rush back.

The food here is seasoned well. I LOVELOVELOVELOVE the hummus. The hummus is very fresh. I’ll throw it out there… this place has the best hummus in town. I like the flat bread that is used instead of the pita bread because you taste the hummus better. Zesty Hummus… YUM! Their meats are seasoned so delish. Their tomato… OMGYUMMY! The only harp I have is— the veggies weren’t SUPERFRESH! The rice was seasoned well. Ok… I lied… that isn’t my only issue– they are also very pricey. I would go here much more than a couple times a year IF the prices were much better! I still love this place. I didn’t have any problems with the owner but then again– that might have been because I am friends with his daughter– whom also is very nice… So it is hard for me to believe that a mean and angry man raised such a delightful young lady. Desserts were yummy as well. Man– Now I want some.

Watch out for the drink prices. We each ordered a beer in a bottle and later found out they were $ 10 each! And the beer was old and was foaming out of the bottle when opened. The service is slow, but Ahmed is charming… at first. We asked if they could do a split appetizer of hummus, baba ghanoush and their equivalent of tzatziki. They said no problem, but when the bill arrived we learned that we were charged for 3 full appetizers. And, a word to the wise their«pita» is just tortillas that are burnt. You should go just to see what they are passing off as «authentic» Persian flat bread. One of our friends was served a dish that she didn’t order and a discussion with Ahmad ensued where he argued with her about it. Later he started yelling at me when I questioned how we could charge $ 10 for a 12 ounce bottle of beer. He told me that was the going rate anywhere on that street. What he didn’t realize is that we live in Omaha and patronize the old market often and knew this was not the case even for craft microbrews on draft. We then asked him to run the card so we could leave and he continued yelling at us on the outdoor patio in front of the public. I cannot recommend anyone patronize this restaurant. I think he is fleecing people. If you want to spend $ 40 per person for dinner you can go to a nice place instead of being duped for mediocre food.

I’m not sure why this place only has 2.5 stars. Did the quality decline when I moved out of Omaha? I don’t know but I love Ahmad’s for the hummus, baba ghanouj and soltani kebabs. Ok, the food may be a bit over-priced but how many Persian restaurants can you find in Omaha? Ahmad, the owner, is always there to greet you, call you«FRIENDS!!!» and give you a hug if you’re a regular customer. I really miss this place. One of these days, I’ll come back to Omaha just for the food.
