Our Story — Cattle Call

When we first opened Kathmandu Momo Station in Omaha’s Blackstone district, our goal was simple: share the flavors we grew up with—especially momos—with our community. Every dumpling, every sauce, every spice was personal, and every plate told a story.

After our lease at Momo Station ended, we knew we wanted our next chapter to be more than just another restaurant. We wanted a place that felt alive, connected to downtown Omaha, and inspired by the creativity we saw in the nearby theaters. When the opportunity to take over the corner spot of Culprit Café came along, it felt like the perfect stage.

We named our new restaurant Cattle Call, inspired by the theater tradition of open auditions. It felt fitting: just like an open audition, we wanted every dish and cocktail to step into the spotlight, hoping to make an impression. And we wanted every guest to feel like part of the audience—experiencing something new, exciting, and approachable.

When we opened a year ago at 1603 Farnam Street, our menu was simple: momos, drinks, and a late-night kitchen. But as we built our team and worked alongside our creative chef and bar manager, the menu grew into something bigger: shared small plates, inventive entrees, seasonal desserts, and cocktails that tell their own story. Every dish, every drink became part of our “performance.”

Today, Cattle Call is a place for moments: pre-show dinners, late-night conversations, and flavors that surprise and delight. It’s inspired by our heritage, guided by creativity, and made for anyone who walks through our doors.

At Cattle Call, we’re not just serving food—we’re presenting experiences. Every plate, every pour, every evening is our open audition. And every guest is our audience.
