About Tawakal Halal

Tawakal Halal is a hidden gem serving the best Somali food in town, now located inside the MIT Students Center food court. Their chicken and rice is a must-try, and the beef biryani is fantastic and bursting with flavor. The service is exceptional, with friendly and passionate staff offering complimentary treats like hummus, pita bread, and even free tea. Food is served over the counter in Styrofoam boxes, making it ideal for takeout. Enjoy their buffet-style halal options, including falafel and hummus, but beware of the very hot sauce offered separately.

They have all fake reviews which they did by themselves. The place is dirty and nasty. Rats were all over the places .The food is really horrible . Server behavior was disgusting 🤮 . Never visit the place . Please please Don’t waste your money.

I had just missed my flight back home and after 5 hours at the airport things began to look rather grim. I then decided to take a walk and by complete luck happened to use this location as a pickup spot for my Uber. What started as me wanting a small snack then turned into a newfound appreciation for Somali cuisine and an eating experience I will have yet to forget.

Tawakal Halal gave me the best food and service in about 14 minutes than other establishments have managed...read full review
