We ate here 14 + years ago on our way home from our honeymoon and we’ve been eating here ever since. Everything is so good. Love the variety of cuisines.
Amazing experience so much so that I came back the next day. Great food and service. The atmosphere is quaint and calming but also entertaining at the same time. A must for Louisville visitors. Thank you!
Ramsi's cafe is a great place when you are in mood for something different. The place is a cocktail of world food with the best of everything. The place has a lot of vegan options as well. The Egyptian kitchen was great with the fusion of Egyptian and Italian cuisine. The staff is really great and helpful. The place has its own character with the artifacts and outdoor decor.
I would like to visit again and try out something new.
My husband and I went for a LATE dinner at Ramsi's. We arrived a little after 11pm on Saturday night. The place was fairly full, but we were seated immediately. The host asked us if we would like to sit in the room with the piano player or in a quieter room. We choose the quieter room. I started out with a dizzy ginger cocktail ($9.00). For dinner my husband chose the greek salad with chicken ($13.95) and I opted for the Empress
chicken ($15.75). The greek salad was large and was made with fresh feta cheese, which was delicious! The only complaint was that the olives were not pitted. The salad came with two sides of dressing, but one was plenty. My Empress chicken was very good, but a little spicy for my taste. It was served over basmati rice with broccoli and mushrooms. For me personally a little less sauce would have made it perfect. We have been to Ramsi's several times and try to get something different every time.
I personally enjoy brunch. But being vegetarian I have very less options. And I found this place. They have lot of options for vegetarians. My wife and friends like their live omelette counter also. Pastries after brunch were simply delicious. So if you want to spend some time with friends and family then definitely must visit place. It is better to book table in advance.
Ramsi’s Cafe on the World was one of the restaurants I found and requested we visit specifically when my family took a trip to Louisville earlier this year (January to be exact, I’m just a touch behind on sharing my restaurant reviews 😉 ). The website for Ramis’s Cafe describes its cuisine as “global comfort food.”
Absolutely fabulous restaurant. When the weather is right, the front patio is very pleasant for a meal. Located on Bardstown Road, this gem is better in the lively neighborhood of the highlands. The menu is fantastic--especially for a picky vegetarian! Don't short change yourself by only visiting during lunch and dinner hours, though-- Ramsey's has a delicious brunch on the weekends as well!
Visited based on recommendations from a few friends. I found the menu to be very overwhelming with so many choices and cuisines featured. I was disappointed by my choice however it was still good. However I was jealous of others dishes. My advice is to be bold and go out of your comfort zone here!
No complaints! The food was sooooooo delicious! Great flavor! The service was fantastic. It was the perfect place to go for a wide variety selection. Ultimately pleased!
I've visited a few times for lunch only, and found it to be a great place to bring clients and staff for a unique and flavorful meal. The place is often packed though but I highly recommend.
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. 🤤
Great atmosphere, wonderful service, a ton of variety, and excellent cuisine! This is one of our favorite go to places in Louisville. The menu offers a great variety of food and flavors from around the world. Everything I've tried has been delicious! I highly recommend the goat cheese appetizer or the brie. Great outdoor patio!
Whenever we are in Louisville, we don’t leave before we eat at Ramsi’s at least once! It is not just a restaurant- it is an experience! The staff is incredible- caring and professional! Food is all delicious!!! Highly recommend!!!
I cannot rave about this place enough! I’ve lived in the Louisville area for almost 30 years and did not discover Ramsi’s until just recently. I’ve been back multiple times since! The atmosphere is unique and interesting, and the food is outstanding. I love the brussels sprouts salad And the garlic goat cheese appetizer. Great dining experience!
We went here for dinner on Friday night. We didn't have a reservation, but we got seated right away. We sat outside. At first, I was impressed by the building and design. The place is beautiful. When we went, the place was packed. Nevertheless, the service was good. The menu is full of food around the world. We tried the focaccia, and we immediately regretted not getting a large. It has simple ingredients, yet it was delicious. We ordered a burger and ribs. It was cooked perfectly and delivered to our table hot. The flavoring was amazing. We ordered wine, but we realized that we just paid $32 for a wine that you can buy for $15 at Walmart. Overall, we will definitely come back to order more focaccia and try the other food in the menu.
This place is a gem. There was something for everyone there on the menu. We were a fairly large group and everyone raved about there food and experience there. The service was good, and the food was even better. Their menu is so eclectic, just like the environment. I ordered the east meets south fajitas and it was very tasty. The portion sizes were good as well. I had enough for left overs and was happy to finish my food for breakfast, but unfortunately it was accidentally tossed it. Let's just say I was crushed! I will most definitely be back and I'm sure the guest I dined with would be back as well whenever we are back in Kentucky.
Went to celebrate my husband's birthday. Found them by googling best restaurants in Louisville, as we are visiting from North Carolina. Started with a quick drink at the bar, as we waited for our rable for 7 on the patio to ge ready. Our server, Wensi?, was amazing! We truly enjoyed everything from our drinks, appetizers to our dinner. Atmosphere is incredible!! Love ALL of the unique art! Highly recommend this fabulous place!

We had a GREAT experience here today!! This was our first time here and I cannot wait to eat here again. Our server was Soul (or Solè?) and he was TERRIFIC!!! He was honestly one of the best servers I have ever had. He was fast, took care of us, explained every single menu item we asked about and even some we didnt know we wanted to try and helped me not waste money immensely. I was going to order a side of potatoes after we ordered our entree and both meals but instead of adding it like most servers would, he told me to try a potato off my husbands plate because these potatoes are cooked differently and are not like people think and if I like them he will get them cooked super fast and bring them out. I tried a bite and didnt like it at all and would have wasted them and the money. I couldnt stop thanking him. He also mentioned the goat cheese and bread appetizer when we were asking what to get and it was INCREDIBLE. I had never tried that before. The steak my husband had was cooked to perfection and the cheese tortellini with chicken mushrooms and pesto cream sauce was SO SO SO good. The servings are really big too so we took them to go. And the prices arent bad either. If every dining experience is like the one we had today I would eat out so much more and I would come to this place every week. I think everyone should try this place. I cannot wait to try the east meets south fajitas next.
