Restaurant East african restaurant

👍👍 Don't judge a book by its cover. The place may look a bit tired. But as soon as you walk in you are greeted and made to feel welcome. The food was really nice. The lamb was cooked perfectly. I guess the only issue was there wasn't enough lamb so we ordered extra lamb! If you want your fix of Somalia... People often mention rice, good, lamb, price,

    Nice food. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating space for families. Menu would be useful. Something simple on the table. Plus names of the wonderdul dishes on their images. Succar with somali style chapati is good. Steak and rice very nice but better for two to share.

    Food was ok but the service was terrible walked in and first thing I see is the owner of the shop behind the till talking to his friends and not acknowledge me entering. Once I figured out where to sit and get a menu for myself I chose what I wanted then while waiting at the till for him to acknowledge me again and repeating myself saying “hellooo” he finally turned back disgusted and said “okok” I’m all in it for the food but the amount they give you man feels like I’m getting scammed because I ain’t Somalian

    When I sat in this restaurant, I felt as if I was at home, the smell of the food attracted me before serving it, in which all the characteristics of the elegant and tidy restaurant are available, and how the food is prepared is very distinctive, and I am excited to return to this restaurant for more times with a greater passion to try their other foods.
