I accidentally ended up at Amir’s as the Ethiopian restaurant I was visiting was closed. I explained was unfamiliar with the East African cuisine and immediately was given some delicious tea and samples of the yummy samosas and sweet bread. The very friendly owner offered to make me whatever Ethiopian food I was craving and explained her own dishes. I decided on a veggie platter and a goat and rice dish . It was all delicious. I am so glad I found this place and this will now be my go whenever I pass through the area. Highly recommend!!! They can make so much more than the few dishes on the menuVegetarian options: I asked for an Ethiopian veggie platter

This was my first time here. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a friendly individual who appeared to be the only one staffing the restaurant that night. Decided on the pasta with fish and was thoroughly impressed. It took approximately 30 minutes to receive the food, but it was well worth the wait. Fish was cooked to perfection and paired well with the pasta and hot sauce. Was so impressed with the food, I'm already planning my next visit back. This is not the place to go if you only care about the ambiance of a restaurant. This is absolutely the place to go if you want quality East African food.

Ordered the spaghetti with tilapia, was given complimentary bread on the side due to the wait. I will wait every single time for this tilapia, the seasoning, the crispy skin and fins, the juicy flaky meat that resided under all that crisp, and the acidic hot sauce to cut through the richness. Absolutely fantastic. Admittedly, I went here only for the spaghetti because I've always been curious about it being offered at East African spots. I was already full from eating at another spot that was out of the spaghetti, was planning on saving this for later. But, I couldn't help but finish the tilapia because of how good it was. Honestly, can skip the spaghetti, but the tilapia and bread that was served was so delicious I couldn't stop eating. Friendly service from the guy who took my order. The wait time was a bit high, but again, I'd do this wait for this level of food every time. Prepare to get your tastebuds excited.

Probably one of the few actual “halal z” places. If you’re in the mood for halal desi food this is the place. Yes it’s Somali, but the food will hit the spot. Ignore the interior decor and just enjoy big portions at a great price. This rice dishes re basically pulaos, the chai is excellent, and the samosas are on point.

Terrible service made me wait 20 minutes before taking my order never coming
Afraid to say how good this was. Don't want it to blow up. Awesome food. Order wasn't ready when we arrived and were offered some "goat soup" while we were waiting. It was delicious. Cannot wait to go again. The meat filled sambusas and rice were awesome. Will go again. The place was super chill and everyone was super friendly.

It takes a while to get your order, but good things come to those who wait! The portions are generous and the food was delicious. We got a chicken wrap and a chicken and chapati. The meat was seasoned well and tender, the chapati hot and flaky. The ambiance is clean and functional. We will be back!
