We have frequented Somalian restaurants whereever we find them. We live in NE South Dakota, none there. Here we ordered the goat with mixed vegetables, rice & her hot spiced tea. Very good meat quality, a good vegetable variety & a long-grained rice in a tasty blend of spices.

The food here was pretty good. I had the goat and rice plate. Only other option was chicken and rice. Nothing else, not even a menu. The only way the food could be better is to have more than only 2 pieces of goat meat. I'd pass on the bread.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant multiple times, and I can confidently say that it deserves a glowing 5-star review! The food served here is nothing short of phenomenal. The combination of perfectly cooked rice and succulent meat is an absolute must-try for anyone visiting. Additionally, their Somali traditional breakfast is a delightful and satisfying experience that I highly recommend.One aspect that sets this restaurant apart is its exceptional staff. The team members are not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and their craft. During my visits, I had the pleasure of being served by a kind lady who went above and beyond to ensure my meal was enjoyable. Her warm and attentive service made the dining experience all the more memorable.Overall, I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The quality of the food, combined with the welcoming atmosphere created by the friendly and capable staff, truly sets it apart from others. I will undoubtedly be returning to savor their delectable dishes and enjoy the outstanding service once again. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

I normally don’t give two stars on restaurants. but this time I have to do it.This place is Lacking on management. I wish to see good chef there next time. But if you still need recommendation find Omaha Somali restaurant or Lexington NE Somali restaurant instead. Be safe guys.

Wow my girl friend and I went into the restaurant and didn't know what to expect. We had a nice lady come out and she said we have meat and rice. We said great we will eat whatever. The food is phenomenal! The experience makes you feel like you are in another country. Some parts of the food were spicy some mild but overall it was absolutely delicious and flavorful. You know this is authentic by the way its served and we were treated great! We will be back again when we are in town.

Ok, sorry about the photo. My daughter and I had already begun eating when I realized I hadn't taken a photo of the food.This was one of two offerings when we went on Labor Day, 2022. The other was "spaghetti."This food was wonderful! Get out of your comfort zone and try Somali food! It is definitely a nice change of pace. The meat was flavorful and tender. The rice was fragrant and quite tasty, and the three sauces on the rice were very different from one another and quite appealing. It made for a meal with nice variety. My daughter and I highly recommend eating here, or at least getting it to go.There was no bread this day, unfortunately. But it would have added a nice bit of authenticity to the meal.We got the food to go, but they do have tables inside. The restaurant is in an old dance club and has not been modified much to suit the Somali restaurant. Do not go thinking you will be sitting in anything fancy if you decide to eat there.The lady who took our order and brought us our food was very nice and polite. She explained what their offerings were, took our order and then kept busy wiping tables and serving others while our food was prepared.Our food arrived at our table hot and beautiful and was $10. I'm not sure if they accept debit or credit, so bring cash. Well worth $10, for sure!
