Amazing food! We were starving after our flight and saw this location was near the airport. They did their best in helping us order and the portions were very large. The prices are very fair and the chapti was so delicious. We sat outside and they were very attentive about cleaning the tables so we could enjoy our meal! A must have!

This place is solid vibes, and serves amazing fresh goat meat. I thoroughly enjoyed the goat with cahpti platter, which included chapti, kidney beans, and spinach, but wish there was a bit more meat included.
The Katkat platter with chicken was decent – chopped up cahpti in a semi-sweet yellow curry with onions, carrots, etc. Again, would have appreciated a bit more protein and less carbs in this dish.
Outdoor seating, good when the weather permits, but otherwise I’d recommend for takeout moving forward for sure.

My husband has always brought home (back in California) the Goat Pilau and it is yummy .
He brought the Chapati once but they tasted like they had sugar added, so I told him that was a no for me.
This time around, I was the one who happened to visit this place and as my hubby had told me it is small and constantly crowded, sure enough it was. The service was quick and just got the plain pilau this time and still it was yummy
My family knows anyone coming to California just bring Pilau from Dubai Cafe.

The restaurant is using food coloring that has been linked to cancer risks. They are adding large amounts to enhance the appearance of their food, which raises serious health and safety concerns. I told them a couple times but they don’t care.

I ordered over the phone for pickup and was told it would be ready in 10–15 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later and nothing had been prepared. They only started the order after I showed up.
There’s clearly no proper system to track orders, food is handed out to whoever shows up. This is basic management, and it’s seriously lacking here.
Honestly, experiences like this make it easy to understand why their public health food safety score keeps deteriorating.

Highly recommended hole in the wall spot for conventional Somali food. The portions are very generous for the price. The building serves as a kind of rest stop for taxi drivers so it can get crowded and chaotic as people zip in and out but service is always attentive and polite. They’re good dudes!

My first good experience in Seattle and I’m so glad I tried it!
The Dubai rice with chicken was phenomenal. 10/10. Great flavor, fast and fresh. Looks like a family owned place. They were very nice. Takeout only. The portion for the small size was enough for me and one other adult to share and have leftovers.
I had no idea you could mix all these flavors and create something so incredible. Our dinner had chicken, raisins, rice, some kind of amazing spices, green beans carrots onions… cardamom? Cinnamon? Wish I could have the recipe!

Got coffee and 2 huge fried dough triangles (don’t know the name) for 5 bucks even and am SO BLOWN AWAY. FantASTIC coffee, and I’m a snob when it comes to coffee. Warmly welcomed and treated with kindness. Strong sense of kinship inside. I can’t wait to come back and try more food.

7/8/24: Very good hole in the wall Somali food. Seems to be a popular place with male cabbies. I had the spaghetti with goat for $20. It’s enough for 2 meals. The spaghetti was an interesting novelty but I prefer my noodles al dente so I wouldn’t order spaghetti again and would just get rice or the bread that they have. Also had the madazi for $1 which was interesting and worth trying.
