Vegan and non-vegan options. The place isn’t big, but it’s cozy. It feels like your at your close friends home and they treat you like family. Went with my vegan wife and my two sons. We all loved it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s a hidden gem.
The food was insane. First time trying African cuisine but won’t be our last.
We stumbled on this restaurant and it was excellent food and service! Just as described like entering a welcoming home! Great to enjoy the delicious seasoning and dishes❤️

The food was great and guests will definitely come back again. The restaurant is a small place that is serving delicious and plentiful platters. The beef steak with rice and lentils was incredible. Diners can enjoy a Somali mixed plate with tender goat, spicy beef, fluffy rice, and stewy veggies. Portions were huge, leaving diners full. The staff was warm and chill, and the place is laid-back, though it can get a bit noisy. It is a solid spot for comfort food, and many plan to return to try the camel.
