I ordered Rice with Goat for take out and it was so good. The goat was so amazingly tender while the rice was perfectly fluffy. I also had a beef sambusa which was filled with ground beef. The service was fast and very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Chill, family-friendly space, good food. Ordered beef suqaar with canjeero to go in the late summer. They were half out of canjeero, so they put 1 malawax instead of the full serving of canjeero. Satisfying meal. Would've preferred a touch more seasoning on the beef, but overall very tasty and it did feel very homemade. Both the canjeero & the malawax tasted great with the beef. The server was kind. Will go again.

While visiting Minneapolis we wanted to try Somalian food. Looking at the reviews, we ended up in Mama Safia's Kitchen. In one word, the experience was 'great'! Samosas were fresh and testy. I tried goat lever and Somalian bread. The servers were really friendly and explains things with passion. The restaurant was clean. The spicy tea was refreshing. Overall we were highly satisfied. We would like visit again.

Walked in and ordered to go. Sambusas and Goat with Rice. Order was ready fairly quickly. Came with a drink and piece of fruit. The chicken and beef sambusas were perfectly crispy and came with a spicy green sauce. The biriyani rice was cooked well. The goat was tender but could use a bit more flavor. Still all enjoyable!

We were visiting Minneapolis and wanted to try a Somali meal. We stopped in and ordered food to go. Wonderful! I give it five stars Food was tasty, clean, and fresh. When our order arrived, they gave us bananas to go with the meal. And bottled water. Nice touch! The people there were so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

A great stop after MOA. The beef steak biryani was outstanding. Perfect flavor. Excellent meat. And the most delicious sauce for spicing it up, if that's your pleasure. We also devoured a chicken & beef sambusa. Entrée with a drink as well. Don't skip this gem! I also loved the mural on the side of the building.

I came in with a group of my coworkers for lunch. We had never tried Somali food before and the server was very hospitable and explained all we needed to know to make our experience the best. She gave us complimentary soup which was delicious. Two of my coworkers got the mango smoothie and said it was delicious and creamy. I tried the Somali tea and it was so flavorful and delicious. We tried the beef and chicken sambusas and got several different dishes. We left very full and happy. Highly recommend!

I had dinner at Mama Safia Kitchen, and the food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The flavors were authentic and beautifully prepared. I also want to mention Mehmet and Resul, the Turkish gentlemen who served me — they were exceptionally kind, attentive, and very helpful. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I highly recommend!

Got the rice and goat, which comes with some salad. The turkish couple running the place were quite friendly, and the food was decent but not really remarkable.
