My lovely wife and I stopped and ate here Nov 1st. When we arrived, i believe it was the owner that welcomed us. I told him that we’ve never been here before. He showed us to a booth, and explained some of the menu. We had plenty of questions about the names of some of the foods. He was very courteous and explained everything we asked about. Cans of pop were the drinks. He brought us an appetizer in just a few minutes. It was really good! My dinner was lamb and rice, with an included salad. The lovely one had chicken stew. (It also had rice and a salad) both of our meals were very good and so filling. The rice was very good, but didn’t look like rice. It resembled the little noodles that are in cup-a-soup. But either way, it was excellent! After our wonderful meal, I went up to pay, and the owner was making a drink. I asked him what he was making, I think he said saah. But then said it’s a tea. He made me a cup of it while I was paying. We took it with us and after it cooled down a bit, we both enjoyed it. Another wry good thing they have. I’ve never had Somali food, or even met a Somali person. He was super and so was the service & food. We will definitely stop in when we are in that area and try some of the other menu items.
The owner/chef is so sweet greets you with the biggest smile and her cooking is very delicious. Be sure to get the tea. Also the restaurant has seen many improvements in the few years I have been coming here. Huge portions. Very clean. Very reasonably priced. Will be back again and again.
Grabbed lunch here on a Thursday. We walked in and there was only one person working. It took a minute for our food to come out - which was fine considering the one man band in the kitchen. The sanbuz (sambuus or sambusas) were very good, the one-in lamb was great, but I was really in love with the simple yet delicious seasoned rice (bariis iskukaris). So good. So if you have the time, its well worth a stop. To be fair they do have quick bites as well. Either way, go.
