This was the best hospitality we have ever had. The cook and chashier was super sweet to our kids making sure they had food they liked. The food was delicious and big portions. We had goat and chicken with unique rice it was so aromatic, you could smell jasmine as it cooked:). It was a differnt flavor palate,but in a great way, not so foreign that the average person couldn’t enjoy it. and somosas were yummy with light curry. The hot green sauce were unique and so good on the rice. And my son and i loved the mango drink also. My kids liked the food also and they are under 5, but green sauce is to spicey for kids, otherwise not spicey food just yummy.

Excellent wholesome Somali food. Friendly service. Samosas. Chapati and beef. And excellent chicken wraps. Mango juice was amazing too. So much flavour and reasonable prices. We will definitely come again.

This place is on my block and I’m glad it is! I had a night I was home alone so I went there. The owner was very nice in helping me understand my choices. The chicken sequaar was very good and the solmolian rice was delicious. I got some homemade hot sauce which was awesome but hot! Mango juice was outstanding and a must when you come here. The chicken somosa was excellent!

The food can sometimes be good, but many times it is horrible and definitely not authentic Somali taste. There is no consistency in their cooking or food quality. My kids said they will never eat there again. Do not try their samosas or chapati—you will be disappointed on your next visit. The Somali tea is somewhat decent, but it has far too much sugar. The meat is overly seasoned and too salty. The most I can give for now is 3 stars. Good luck ✌️

Scammers. Ordered two dishes after having a lovely conversation with the waitress about Somali culture and food. They bring us 5 dishes we didn’t order and say “we brought you extra” (implying it was free). They proceed to charge us for everything. Not to mention the food was absolutely awful: flavorless; bland; cold; overcooked. Only the bread was edible. Additionally, me and my friend felt terribly sick for days, and we’re no strangers to this kind of food. I can not stress enough to not go to this place.

This restaurant is amazing…
Now I’m addicted to it. It’s way better than McDonald’s and Burger king.
The chef is so nice and she’s one of the best chefs I’ve ever seen.
She sounds nice and caring just like my mom
This is it I hope they get even better!!!

I had an excellent lunch here–this is an under-appreciated gem for Syracuse. We had the beef suqaar (saucey meat and vegetables stew) with anjero (stretchy sourdough flatbread) and goat with rice. Both were very large portions and very flavorful–the Somali rice was an excellent flavorful dish in its own right, not an afterthought. Both dishes came with a small side salad, a spicy herb sauce, and a mild aioli. The Somali milk tea was also perfect, sweet and fragrant with spices. We left very full, very happy, and with leftovers! We will be back for sure. I highly recommend.
Please note that they do close for all of Ramadan each year.
