African Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned“

“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 to give me in an hour, so great in fact, that I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t go a second time before I left. The food by itself is beyond amazing and I could write a whole review entirely on how great the food is, however, my personal favorites were the Goat Biryani and the Halwa as an excellent dessert option after. In addition to the food, the service here was amazing as well. The staff were always making sure I had everything I needed and doing everything they could to make my experience there a pleasant one, even offering me tea as I waited for my Uber. All in all, the best way I could describe this café to anyone wanting to know more about it is that it is truly everything you could ever ask for in a dining experience: fantastic food and amazing service. It even no longer made me upset that I missed my flight that day for if I hadn’t, I would have never been able to find this gem of a café. Thank you, Tawakal Halal, so much for giving me an experience I will never forget and know that when I return to Boston, you can bet the first stop on my itinerary will be your café.

“Great place for date night.“

“the food is well cook and I go their twice a week“

“I had a great experience talking with the host. She was very welcoming and nice to talk to. Service was good. Food was good. I asked for some hot pepper last minute she got it for me. I liked how much she took care and considered all my requests.“

“We were a party of three, and we opted to order the appetizer platter. Unfortunately, the server let us know that they didn't have a lot of what was on it (they only had meat pies and puff puff). We all ordered jollof rice, which was incredibly flavorful. I got the moi moi, talk about insanely delicious and the fried yam. The stew that came with it for dipping was again so good. My mum had the salmon, which she said was a little on the dry side, but still had a nice flavor. My daughter had the beef and fried plantains. She said it was delicious, and I concur that it was since I took a bite. The service was so so after we got our food. It could've been because it was a Friday night, and they had a lot of take out orders. The staff was nice and welcoming, though.

I highly recommend going to eat here. The food is very authentic and so full of flavor, and you won't break the bank.“

“Great Somali food“

“I get authentic tea leaves for pain and inflammation at Blessing of God.

One day I was really sick and I was looking for natural tea leaves. I found everything from tea leaves for pain, weightloss, Allergies and even the flu.

The owner keeps authentic groceries well stocked as well.“
