A really enjoyable LA experience. The portions and prices are fantastic, and the food is delicious. The vegetable soup was unexpectedly my favorite thing! Somalian food is not very common, so this is a great place to check it out.Parking: There is a free municipal lot across the street.

I just want to say wooooooooooow, that is an amazing place I came for the first time here. I got a lamb plate. I'm still at the restaurant. I don't want to go home. I want to eat every minute. I will definitely come back. I don't like it because I love it ❤️ big respect to owner and all stuff who works here.

5/1/24: Excellent goat with rice. Comes with soup and banana. $18 but it's enough for 2 people so either bring someone to share it with or take leftovers.

Describing this as an unassuming storefront would be the understatement of the century. Nevertheless, the food was lovely, the portions were generous, and the tea spot on. 10/10 will be backVegetarian options: The vegetarian soup has lamb broth.

Just absolutely incredible. First off when I walked in it smelled like I just walked into my grandma's house. So warm and welcoming in the best way. The tea was the best I've ever had. The lamb and rice plate was HUGE the colors were vibrant and the food was delicious. I would say a little more salt but that's just me. The pre meal soup was also very warm and simple and delicious. Not too much before a meal.

This is a friendly place with large portions of delicious food. We’ve been trying to go to Banadir for months when we go to SoFi or the Forum. We finally left early enough to make it from Reseda. What a treat! The other patrons were friendly, making sure we tried the incredible free tea and now we know to get bananas next time to eat with the spicy green sauce. I got the lamb and my husband had the chicken. Wow! We will be making special trips here from now on.
