Delicious Somali restaurant in Chicago suburbs. My first visit to a Somali restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Food was pretty good. Loved the Goat with rice and vegetables. Their tea was good too. Didn't care much for the orange juice made from concentrate. Lady at the counter does all the billing and orders. She spoke decent english. Had to wait to use the bathroom, which was not gender segregated. Interior is very basic, but food makes up for it.
Well this is my 2nd time trying Somali cuisine. I went to a different restaurant for Somali a long time ago and I found their food confusing. I would assume they right next to Ethiopia they would eat someone of the same cuisine despite being predominantly Muslim but it's somewhat the same? It's particular restaurant feels more of a hole in the wall for East African Somali. It was like that with the other restaurant I went to long ago. Most people would consider this...
I ordered a goat rice dish and was amazed! Incredibly juicy and tender meat, with generous portions if veggies and side dishes (they go very nice together). The rice was absolutely amazing! And they had complimentary raspberry juice as well!! All for a VERY affordable price. What a gem!
