Mareeg Cafe & Restaurant Reviews
My goto place for somali food. Every meal is customizable, the service is great, the meals are a great value, the atmosphere is very welcoming and homey. Once the staff knows you, it's like Cheers. Highly recommend the BBQ chicken/ Goat platter. The rice is great but i recommend half/ half with either the spaghetti or the Alfredo (my fave). I've had the lamb shank and camel as well, both great. I believe I tried the beef stew years ago, but I have yet to try to beef or chicken...read full review

Mareeg Cafe & Restaurant is a hidden gem recommended by locals for its authentic Somali cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of meat and vegetarian options, including the popular Foul bean dish for breakfast. Customers praise the generous portions, affordable prices, and friendly service, despite the language barrier. The food is consistently good, with dishes like goat and rice noted for being very tender, well seasoned, and enough to share. Every visit brings the same flavorful experience, making it a favorite spot in Edmonton for Somali food. The staff are very nice and welcoming, and the owner is a down-to-earth, friendly person. While the spicy chili sauce is available, customers can enjoy flavorful dishes without it if they prefer. This no-frills, down-to-earth establishment offers a taste of Somali home-style cooking that feels like coming home.
