Inner Rail Food Hall — Restaurant in Omaha

Pro tip: if you go to maharani (Indian restaurant) they have a sampler platter (like a Thali) for $15.99 which is a lot of food for a great price. Highly recommended this

The new food halls are bright, open, spacious, with extra amenities. This is not your typical food court. When you go to a "food court" you don't think of service. Instead of takeout boxes and bags, you get plates with silverware. Water is dispensed on a side bar with glasses that you refill yourself. The food options are a bit higher end, and there is alcohol served on location as well. The space is shared, so you can grab your beer then wander over for Indian or food from Kathmandu.

Inside this food hall, there are some established names such as Noli's, Banh Mi Shop, and Momo's. There is a bit of something for everyone. I only know of the pricing of the Banh Mi shop, but I missed checking it at the Inner rail. The food wasn't cheap, but its nice to have a comfortable setting where you can go when you have a few people who all want different types of cuisine.

The workers are diligent to maintaining the cleanliness of the place. They will offer to take away any dirty dishes quickly, not to rush you, but so that you are in a comfortable clean environment.

Please note, to get to the food hall, you need to walk around to the inside building of 1917. You walk through the doors with the big sign above, stay on the left side, and keep walking through until you go through another set of doors. There you will see an open area with Inner Rail signage the door to the food hall. In the open area there will be chairs and such dispersed about (even a firepit). You can also get there by walking around to the back.

Today I visited Inner Rail Food Hall for the first time and tried a little bit of everything!

First of all, this space is awesome. We’re so fortunate to have three fantastic food halls in Omaha (Flagship Commons and The Switch Beer & Food Hall being the two others). I’m particularly jealous of the people who work in Aksarben because lunch would be a whole other level of greatness. There are so many options to appeal to all appetites. I got bubble tea from Rougamo and Boba, a slice of the campione specialty pizza (sausage, meatballs, red onions, red peppers) from Noli's Pizzeria, pork momo with mild sauce from Kathmandu Momo Station: a dumplings place, and a Nutella, graham cracker, banana, and strawberry crêpe from Sofra Creperie. Let me tell you this lunch checked all the boxes.

The real standouts for me were the Noli campione pizza and the Sofra crêpe. This was my first time having Noli and omgggg do I love me an airy wood fired crust. FANTASTIC. And the Sofra crêpe was HUGE and made so well I could eat it holding it with one hand. No fork necessary, yet it was stuffed with sweet deliciousness. The bubble tea was pretty standard although very expensive ($10.36 for a large after tax and 20% tip) compared to Poke & Boba House whose larges run $5.50. The pork momo were also great but I prefer a soy/balsamic vinegar to dip my momo in which they didn’t have. Fortunately another vendor (Nori) had some soy sauce for me to use. The mild sauce I got from Kathmandu actually had me tearing up. 😅

Overall such a fun vibe and a great experience trying so many things. I’ll...

Overall, a nice place with decent food options and a more trendy feel to a food court. But quite pricey all around. I personally wasn't super impressed with the food vendors available, but broke out of the shell and tried the Maharani Indian Kitchen. The service was good, very friendly and helpful staff. Chicken Biryani was good and well presented with pretty confetti colored rice. There was A LOT of food and I ended up having a whole nother meal to take with me, but wished I had ordered an extra naan. My husband ordered a burger from B Squared Burger and thought it was pretty good, but kind of over priced for what he got. It's not very clear how or where to get drinks at or if each individual vendor provides drinks. We waited for quite awhile at the main bar for water and I did end up getting a margarita which personally seemed extremely expensive. $9 for a standard plastic cup. It truly did not taste like a good margarita and for that price I expected it to be made fresh....but it was most likely a mix. I would give this place another shot, maybe try a new vendor...but I would save my alcoholic drinks for sure for the pros at Herbe Sainte...
