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!

Came in cause was desiring a sambusa. Amazing. The chicken sambusa is so delicious, the right amount of spice. Do not even need the spicy sauce that compliments it. Nice home feel establishment. The parking can be a bit hectic contingent on the time of arrival. Really nice greeting upon entrance! Love love love and sambusa was so delicious I did not even leave the area and had to come back in and get some more. Baby 🤰🏽and I enjoyed it that much came back in five minutes later.

I had dinner here last night. The hosts were extremely friendly. Abdullah in particular was very friendly and helped me understand all the options I had. I got a chicken and beef combo on rice (forgot what it was called) and it was amazing. Best part about it was that it wasn't even on the menu but they happily made the combo. Also got a free banana with it. The mango juice was the perfect choice for the food and the tea to follow it all up with was just perfect. A little bit too sweet but still very very good. The Sambusa was brilliant as well. Best thing though...it was all halal! They need to work a bit more on their local marketing because none of the Uber drivers knew about this Somali gem, and they were all Somali. Maybe reach out to the local communities so drivers would recommend your restaurant as well?

Have dined here twice. First experience was amazing. Both appetizer(beef sambusa) & goat stew was amazing. Goat meat was perfectly cooked & tender. On my 2nd visit got the lamb stew & it was pretty disappointing. The meat in the lamb shank was not cooked evenly so some portions were tough while others were perfectly tender. Mentioned about the issue while I went to the pay at the counter. The guy only apologized for the issue & charged me the full price for the meal. Not sure I will be back.

This was my first time eating East African food and it was absolutely amazing. The chicken Sambusa is absolutely fire. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
