“Dined here about 4 times, and I’ve always been so happy each time. So much flavor.

The first time I came here was last year, and my friend showed me the ropes. Since then, I’ve brought my friends here. Every time, so many people take out.

I always like to try new things but there are 3 things I always have to get. Fufu with whatever soup they have that day. Attieke with snapper. Chuck rice with chicken.

Their full menu is not always available. They let you know what they have. I’ve tried their egusi, pepper, cassava, and goat soup. Every one at my table would have their favorite one, so I can’t recommend one more than the other. Egusi is probably the most unique though in terms of texture and flavor. Fufu comes out HOT so be warned. We let it cool down a bit and it’s a lil less sticky and more manageable. Every soup usually has different types of meats and lots of bones (like turkey neck), so be careful there too.

Chuck rice with chicken. The sauce is amazing and the chicken is fried so well that it stays crispy under all the sauce! I definitely have some fufu with the chicken here too.

Snapper with attieke and plantains. Attieke is as unique to me as fufu is. And it has so much flavoooor. Snapper is a whole fish, fried to perfection. This comes with a mayo salad sauce type thing.

Their three entrees are usually more than enough for a group of 4. With a water bottle (they don’t do cups of water, I think), it adds up to be about $25-30 a person. And we usually have enough to take home for one more meal.

If you want, I also recommend their ginger juice. STRONG ginger flavor. It warms you right up. I imagine it’s great for my stomach after all the palm oil and spices.

Other tips: They got a hand washing station for hygienic fufu eating!“

“Very good food and service“

“This is the second time my family an I have traveled from Flagstaff to eat here. Love the flavor of the food, the atmosphere inside, friendly family owned restaurant. Aaron who took our order was the best and made sure everything went smoothly. My kids love eating here and we will definitely be back whenever we make a trip to the valley. Worth the drive!!“

“Great food, good people and a great change of pace. The lamb is really good!“

“Tried this place during our stay in Phoenix. The quality and portion size of food was top notch. The person serving us was very friendly and helped us with the details of Somali food that we were eating for the first time. When the food came out, it tasted just divine. Will visit again.“

“Uh - they didn't have any way to share what's on the menu. I mean I forgot to bring my smart device to download their app, and the menu board just kept flashing pages lithe with suggestion. It looked pretty low down, and I couldn't get a breath or conjure an air as to why I was there. Much aplomb!

Kid-friendliness: They just don't want to offer service, and I understand that the law allows...“
