    I was recommended to this place by a friend. You might feel sceptical about the place but the food tastes surprisingly good and the staff are really nice and flexible. We ordered goat and lamb with rice and spaghetti. They served us both the orders in one big tray. I loved the goat bone in pieces and rice. Lamb shank was good too but didn't like the spaghetti much. Their flavors are different than Indian or American steak. They serve their food with complimentary soup, banana and juice/water. Will come back to try their beef and goat again!

    It was our first time having Somali/Mediterranean food, and overall we were pleasantly surprised. Every meal is served with what we believe was Chickpea Zucchini Soup before the meal and a banana after the meal. For our main course, we had a variety of chicken, lamb, and steak and either basmati rice or spaghetti, all of which were seasoned and cooked nicely. This was definitely a unique experience, and we are glad to have been able to try it.

    Amazing. Stumbled upon this place years ago and had never tried Somali food. Huge portions, delicious soup, incredible flavor, great texture, very nice people who helped me understand what was what. I don't get out that way as much as I'd like now, but I'd highly recommend it. Try the tea!

    Just stumbled on this place and decided to try 3 dishes- Lamb Shank, Goat and Steak. The staff was very friendly and the food came very quickly. When it did, the portion size was much more than expected along with bananas, water and salad. Everything was delicious. I have never writte . A review before but felt like this place definitely deserves one. I would highly recommend.

    So far everything I've tried is good. You must try the Liver, Sambusa & tea. But tbh tried the chicken, lamb, goat, chicken steak and all are very good and seasoned well. The spaguetti is good also and they give you A LOT. Comes with water & banana. Highly recommend!!!

    I stopped in on my way back to toledo and ordered a dinner. It was very good and I might come back to Columbus just to eat here again! It's very nice and homey inside the restaurant.

    Food was terrible and tasteless. I was overcharge and there was a fly in my salad. Save your money there are better Somali restaurants in the city.

    I ordered rice chicken and lamp.The rice was dry with no sauce. The lamp was not seasoned with little salt. Chicken felt was dry. Customer service is excellent. The rice tasted good with medium salt and seasoned well.
