Mohamed Abdikarin2025-05-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Food!!! Yuanxi Zhang2025-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The lamb dish is very tasty and delicious. The gentleman serving us is very friendly. We will try to come back even though this area is a bit sketchy Ananya Malik2024-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The nicest people ever! I’d never tried Somali food before, and enjoyed my experience a lot. The people here were so nice, and helped me decide what I wanted from their pastry case. It was a great time and a quiet place to enjoy a late lunch. I had their goat meal and mandazi! Marie Bennett2024-11-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Fuul Was delicious, and portions were generous. The service was fast and friendly. I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a lot of Somali dishes to try but the quality of the options more than made up for the lack of variety. Felix Phoenix2024-11-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Their sambusas are inexpensive, fresh and delicious ($1.49), and they're quite large! Cappucino was good too. Seems like a good variety of different foods. Will come come back for the sambusas for sure, and try more of the menu. It hit the spot. Bella Das2024-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was visiting family in Minneapolis and wanted to check this Somalian restaurant. Everything was delicious!! I never had chicken sambusa. It was soooo good!!! All the other desserts were a hit. Brought so many childhood memories back. I would definitely recommend this place for good home style Somalian meal Daniel B2024-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First taste of Somalian food, no reference for comparison. Good seasoned rice. Sambusa was very good, a little dry and heavily seasoned. The goat meat was tender and well seasoned. The sauce that comes with the meal is too spicy for me. Koshin Jimcali2024-05-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They serve you Brilla and Ragu for $20 plus. And the “Somali tea” is just a tea bag, not authentic Somali tea. Don’t care how clean the place is or how good the service is, if the food is low quality and in this case outrageously overpriced for the quality, it’s not worth returning to.Google rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 143 reviews
