★★★★☆ 4.0 Nusrat Jahan · Oct 2025

The food there is amazingly good. The only problem I faced is communication. There was no printed menu Neither a website. So there's no way to know what they serve or the prices. At first a fine lady came to take order but she didn’t know any English, so we couldn’t quite communicate. Then a guy came, he told us what was available (only the meat options with rice, we went for lunch, we have no idea what else they serve) and we ordered. It didn’t take long and the food was delicious. We ordered two sombusas, mutton with rice and beef with rice; the salad and water were complementary with rice I think. All of them tasted very good. This cost us about $35-39 (I don’t actually remember right now, but it was in between). The atmosphere is good, spacious.

★★★★★ 5.0 Imran Khan Tutul · Oct 2025

The food was amazing. I tried their beef w rice and goat w rice and sambusa. All of them were top notch. There is no printed Menu so I’d suggest to look it up in the map pictures before you go there.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sofia Rossi · Nov 2025

Food is absolutely amazing! Came here for lunch and tried the sambusas and rice w/chicken. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The service was incredibly fast, and our food was ready within 5-10 minutes of ordering. Definitely will be eating here again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ayman Siam · Aug 2025

The most authentic Somalian food and man it was soooooooo flavorful and delicious. Good portions and pricing. But what’s more satisfying was the hospitality, community you’ll see and the feeling. Highly recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Molly Sparling · Jan 2026

The owner was so friendly and since we had never had this style of food before, he fed us a feast of selections. We felt like guests in his home. Portions were generous and well seasoned. Highly recommend!
