Their lamb shank is incredible, tender, and flavorful. Plus their Somali dishes are authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

On the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and an immigrant is one who abandons what God has forbidden.God Almighty forbids harming a Muslim without a legitimate rightI am the Muslim who was harmed that rainy night by towing my car to the gathering place without my knowledge, for no other reason than that I entered the restaurant of your Muslim brother, your Yemeni neighbor. Isn’t it God who swore from above seven heavens that He would provide you with food in the sky and not what you were promised?What did I benefit from as I paid $260 dues for cramming and was not able to work for a whole night because I got wet on my back? God suffices me and He is the best disposer of affairs in you. God suffices me and He is the best disposer of affairs in you.Shame and shame on you. You have distorted Islam and Muslims with your behavior.Praise be to God, God compensated me for His grace, and you spared me nothing but supplications of evil and lack of success.Unhappy servant of the dirham, miserable servant of the dirham. The world is nothing but enjoyment and vanity.No, may God grant you success, God willing.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been there but the food was great. We had no idea what to order so they made our group a platter with a variety of food. Excellent food, all of it!

This place is a phenomenal hidden gem. I almost hesitate to write this because I want to keep it hidden! I love authentic, down to earth joints with great food, and this hit the number. I'm familiar with Ethiopian food, and this was pleasantly different.Thank you Mogadishu for a great and lively night!

BEWARE. I ordered carry-out from here using Toast and when I went to pick up the order they told me they didn't have *any* of the food (!). They had already confirmed the order online, however (!!). I asked them to cancel the order and they said they couldn't do it. I told them they MUST do it, because they confirmed the order already. They shrugged and said they would cancel it.Spoiler alert: they didn't cancel it, so they stole $24 from me over Toast, charging me for food I never received. I'm now on hold with my bank disputing their theft.

“Somali beeen weey sheegta laakin been maku maah maahdo” is a famous Somali proverb which means Somalis may lie but they never lie with proverbs.-The crepe/bread with honey was great.I was the only gringo in the place with lots of Somali chatter, and they made me feel welcome.The ambiance is as real as it gets.
