Banaadir Cafe and Grill Reviews
Absolutely fantastic. I had the lamb (which was delicious) with the saffron rice (which was phenomenal). The guy working the counter was so friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. The kids loved their food too. I’m not usually a fan of mango, but their mango juice was excellent. If I lived closer, I’d be there all the time.
I was visiting Louisville this week, and stumbled up this hidden on the outskirts of the city. This was one of the most incredible dishes I have ever had. I got the goat with saffron rice and it was gas money. The owners were incredible and really nice. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in a little East African field trip. Alhamdulillah
This small Somali restaurant is a great place to get authentic flavorful food. I got the goat meat with saffron rice. It was so full of spices, and it came with optional spicy sauce. Each meal came with a banana. I also loved their samosas, filled with spices and meats. The man who took the order was so friendly and hospitable. The food was very filling, especially for its low price. I highly recommend it.
