Indulge in authentic cuisine straight from Mogadishu at this delightful restaurant. Faridas and his family relocated from the capital city to San Diego years ago to open this charming eatery, sharing Somali delicacies with the local community. I highly recommend trying the chef's special paired with a glass of their wonderful beverage. It's international cuisine for everyone to enjoy!

This Somalian restaurant is a hidden gem. The diverse menu boasts authentic Somali dishes that tantalize the taste buds with unique flavors. The service is exceptional, characterized by warmth and attentiveness. The restaurant's ambiance, adorned with cultural elements, provides a cozy and inviting space, making it an immersive and delightful dining experience.

Delightful food straight from Mogadishu. Faridas and his family moved here from the capital city many years ago so that he could start this lovely restaurant and bring Somali delicacies to the general public of San Diego. May I recommend the chef's special as well as a glass of wonderful beverage. International cuisine for all!Kid-friendliness: If your kid didn't spend any time in Somalia as a foreign exchange student, then it might take a couple weeks before his palate catches up with the rest of your family.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes! Somalia also has wheelchairs.

Fast causal place specializing in Somali Cuisine. Not the bedt looking of areas, but the food makes up for it. We had the beef jabti(like a chapati in case Google failed you.) Beef was pretty good. Food was enough for one person per entree. Dipping sauces green /white were amazing, I wish they would add their names to the menu or let you order more. Decor needs some work. The singular restroom was clean. Scummily, they add a 4% extra for credit cards and don't mention it anywhere. Also have those panhandling square tablets. - 1 star for that. Give it a try!

Amazing food and speed of service. I tried the chicken and goat succqars, and loved the flavor and rich marinade of the goat meat especially. If you don't like dealing with bones, the chicken is a better choice. the rice of the succqar dishes are very flavorful, and made me want to clean my plate to the last grain I ordered one of each sambusa flavor -- the potato and spinach sambusas are my favorite; the former was creamy, and the matter was the most fragrant. They came out piping hot too! Wish we were given instructions on which dressing to use where initially -- there is a green spicy dressing and another one that tastes like buttermilk ranch, but it was still pretty easy to figure out.
There are four things I look for in a restaurant when I'm using Yelp so maybe this will help you. 1. Prices - very reasonable here 15-18 for an entree 2. Star rating - has a decent star rating + mine 3. Location - got a pretty empty and decent size parking lot next to it so really accessible 4. Portion size - the 15 dollar chicken entree was enough to fill me up as a 200 lb 6'3 guy for lunch. Really generous portions They also got the food out pretty quick (15 min at most) but it was pretty empty when I came (Saturday afternoon) So a bit of a hidden gem, but really well done!
