★★★★★ 5.0 Jason Burlingame · Aug 2025

First time here as a suggestion from my friend. The service was amazing very helpful and friendly. There was some hot "spice " tea, omg I could have drank the whole pot. Food was excellent, I definitely need to stop again and try other things. Mango juice was delicious!

The atmosphere was meh. Nothing special. But the gentleman serving was helpful with any question or suggestions. Quick service. I had the goat, hilib, that tasted too me like oxtail. The appetizer we had was yummy. They have a "salsa" that was served with the appetizer that was great and spicy.

Please balance this with the other reviews, This was just our experience. If we were local we might go back and order something different, as part of the problem was not realizing what we were ordering. We ordered two different "one dish" plates and the amount on each plate was tremendous. It becomes a bit boring to eat the same thing bite after bite. They would do well to do like many other international fare places (like Indian, Mediterranean, or asian) and have a picture of EVERY menu item. We would have done much better to have ordered something that came with a mixture of items on the plate.

I went to this place with one of my friends. From the outside and inside it looks like an ordinary restaurant but their food was extraordinary!!! Their falafel sandwich, more like a wrap was delicious. My friend and I both loved the food, we both ordered the vegetarian item falafel sandwich.

★★★★★ 5.0 HAITHAM ALSUHAYMI · Mar 2025

I was very shocked by the quality of the food (as usual my evaluation will be as a frequent traveler around the countries) this restaurant has a Somali style they have a Ramadan iiftar daily for $24 buffet and the food was enough there is rice meat chicken beans fruits vegetables water everything and the quality of the food was very very wonderful I understood from the restaurant that after Ramadan there will be such a buffet every Friday thank you continue the place is normal but the quality of the food is excellent and I knew that when I saw the women in the internal kitchen
