We stopped in to try some authentic Somali food. It is a bit difficult to find from Google as it is only accessible from inside the building when you enter from the north end. As someone else noted it is a hole in the wall place. We weren’t really sure at first impression if this was going to be a good choice for lunch or not. It is not exceptionally clean or maintained well, and it took a bit before someone showed up to take our order. Another customer called I to the back several times for us. We ordered the ‘sports’ lunch as it seemed to be something of a sampler plate and tried to order some samosas and a couple other sides and they didn’t have any. So we sat down, and wiped off our table while we waited. It took about 20 minutes to get our food and my wife was getting a bit fidgety as there was only one other person in the place to eat. We were pleasantly surprised when our food finally arrived. It was definitely a platter for two and then some. Everything was really good. I am not sure exactly what everything was, but it was good. There was an orangish chicken with a nice heat to it that was our favorite. The goat was well cooked but a little light on seasoning. The fish was well cooked as well with a crisp exterior and still flaky inside. The rice was delicious as were the beans and the cooked veggies. While it does not look like much and is a bit hard to find, we will come back when we are in the area again.

One of Omaha’s hidden Jems!
This restaurant offers an authentic gastronomic experience that allows patrons to experience a taste of East Africa. A fresh aroma of African spices greeted me as I walked through the door. As a first time comer, the chef walked me through the menu. Ultimately the chef suggested to make me a special meal with a mix of plates which was amazing!
The food was fresh and deep in flavor. The portion was generous. The price very competitive. The store is somewhat old and deserves a remodeling however that does not take away from the experience. If you’re a foodie looking for a new local experience, then I believe there’s a lot of value in visiting this place!

Simple but good and unique. Nice to give a different culture a try and I was not disappointed. Only one stop so far but would go back without question. Food all looks and smells good, makes it hard to decide what to get. I love a good gyro and look forward to trying theirs. Didn’t on this trip but it looked very good with a few different options to choose from. Try the samosas! Good prices too.

Alhamdulliah, at least we have a mosque in the downtown area and that’s why I gave five stats to take the initiative to setup the mosque down there. It would be great, if the mosque management keep clean this place clean and remove unpleasant room odors.
