I’m a student at UMN. After studying at Wilson Library next door in the evenings, I come to this restaurant for dinner. I’ve eaten here several times, and overall, I find it just average. 1. The service is extremely slow, especially for Asian or white customers and other non-Muslim groups. On multiple occasions, I’ve waited over half an hour before going to the front desk to inquire. I was told they hadn’t even started preparing my order yet, and they didn’t seem to care. If I hadn’t asked, I doubt they would have served me at all. The front desk staff are rude, and there are no consistent servers. 2. The environment is mediocre. Tables are often left uncleaned with trash on them, and there are various unsavory characters hanging around. 3. The portions are generous and extremely affordable—this is the biggest advantage, making it very budget-friendly for students.

Please always watch you orders they shortened you portions of meat you have paid for, I have order sports few times with 3 different choice of meat like Philly steak, beef sukar and chicken legs. I only received Philly steak. I call store to report not successfully. I do have pictures to proof this statement.

Portions were very large. We ordered the somosas, goat, chicken steak, and chicken suqaar. The goat was tender and cooked to perfection and the flavors of both chicken dishes were delicious. The mango lassi and tea with milk was perfect with the meal. It was my first time trying somali food and definitely not my last.

Their food is so good but it takes for ever , restaurant is understaffed and you have to be in line for almost an hour.

This place was awesome. A customer was even helping me out, because he liked the restaurant so much. The food is amazing. I actually cant wait to go back to try out more dishes. They also have delicious soup. The soup is there for you, while you wait for your food.

The rice and the chicken was very dry, Service was bad we had to repeat the order few times. Messed up the order the first time. Food took a long time too, It was my first time and I had high hopes because my friends recommended me this place, didn’t meet my expectations.

Amazing food, huge portions for the price. Shah tea is fabulous. Service is friendly. I felt like I was transported to another country, would definitely return. A truly amazing cultured eatery that is worth visiting.

Japati was slamming and at $14 with fries and a drink included, it’s a great value too. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Vibe was very chill there and they gave us a table with a shower curtain that afforded us privacy while we ate. Not luxury but that’s not what I would expect from a place like this. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for East African comfort (you should be).

If you want someone who doesn’t know how to operate a cash register, doesn’t know how to tell the guys in the back that all you want is a burrito, then tries to charge your card twice and then asks for your cash back and also won’t provide you with a receipt after trying to rip you off… then this is the place to waste money on
Now that I have my food I am very pleased to say that sharp, broken plastic material is cooked into my burrito as well.
