The most best Somali restaurant in San Diego hands down. I recommend that fufu plate, I took a photo of it so if you guys ever go there just show them that photo, it will make ur toes curl it was so delicious I don’t do reviews but I had to do this one, there’s plenty other plates that also taste good, though i didn’t try everything yet and the customer service is so awesome very respectful people I usually take a long time ordering my food, being picky but the employees was so kind and didn’t rush me at all. I give this place 10/10

Very authentic flavors, also family friendly service! I love their samosas with the green chutney taste like I’m traveling to the tropical West Indies. When I take a bite thankYOU so many African Spices yum ☀️

I’ve come here a couple of times and they never disappoint!!! They’re always so kind, and their food is not only the most exquisite Somali food in the United States but (with Indian spice trade flavor x dairy-free Mediterranean lightness) also leave you feeling light and great! Its nterior is quirky and unconventional, where you can wait for your takeout or eat in. Whenever I’m there I feel like I’m in the company of friends. It may be the best hole-in-the-wall in California.

Very tasty and super friendly service. Got some delicious bhajia, samosas, and mandazi. Also got a pack of chapati that tastes as good as those in Kenya.

i honestly dont know what happened, i order from here all the time with no problems. it just took this one 38 dollar door dash order to pay for food that i wouldnt pay 8 dollars for. the food came 1 hours late, cold and inedible. it looked like the food fell out of the bag and they repackaged the mess back into the box with what they could salvage. i dont know if i did anything to upset them but i guess ill be throwing my food in the trash tonight.
