“I love it Somali food in general yes the portions are huge but I'm Somali and it's really common to have portions that huge the hot sauce is really good for the average person it's really spicy but I have Somali blood in me I can handle it I love Sam USA but putting fish in it and not making it spicy should be illegal if you're vegetarian almost everything has meat in it but overall it's amazing“
“This place was very good. The food was absolutely delicious but the meat was a bit too over cooked for my personal preferences. This restaurant absolutely spoils you with their portion size, 2 meals could feed 5 people. We also received so much flatbread I couldn't manage to eat all of it, and our mango juice cups were filled all the way to the brim with no room left in the cup. Only problem is communication if you don't speak somali, the waiters know english but if you don't pay attention accents can get in the way of fully understanding. All in all I fully reccommend this place from a cooking standpoint but beware that Lake Street has amazing food but isn't a very safe street from what I've heard.“
“We stumbled across this when looking for African food and it's the greatest gem ever in the heart of downtown. The service was amazing from taking our order over the phone to rushing to get our food to us, as hot as possible. The woman that helped us was sweet and very gracious for our business, when we should be thankful for her. This food is 10/10 in every aspect. The fufu is fantastic, the chicken and fish were incredibly flavorful and juicy. Both the rice and beans were so flavorful and the portions were giant. The plantains in the stewed beans were perfectly cooked and a perfect addition to the chicken and beans. We will be ordering from here again!!“
“I've been working with Marlene & Fredrick for over a few months now to secure them as the caterer for a UMN event which just happened last night! Marlene is both kind & patient. To say that the food was a success would be a huge understatement! The food was AMAZING! The food was delivered very hot & on time! Thank you again, Marlene! I highly recommend them!“
“BEST AFRICAN FOOD IN MN!!!!! You have to try everything !!!! I had the pleasure of trying the jollof rice, and potato greens !!! I love African food and finding this restaurant made my day !!! Just try anything on the menu I guarantee you’ll love it and be back . I know I will !!!!!!!!“
“Excellent! Hands down the BEST jollof rice! Madam Oga is a great hostess, she is so sweet and it shows through her food. The jollof rice and chicken was outstanding. I also tried the fried chicken and it was tasty too. The meat pies are huge and a meal by themselves. The ginger beer is spicy and sweet. ? We enjoyed everything about our meal. The resturant is also super cute and welcoming inside. I highly recommend and will certainly return when in the area.“
“It was my first time dining at Daalo, and it exceeded my expectations!The food was delicious, my sister andI had rice with goat meat, and my other sister and mom had the Ethiopian cuisine anjero with tips and veggies it was delicious.? and show out to Abdirahman? who was overall inviting and professional ..I definitely recommend this restraunt. You get authentic Somali/Ethiopian cuisine here..“
“I was driving by and did a double take when I saw their sign. I decided to stop in to see what they offered because Nigerian restaurant menus tend to vary. It’s a small carryout only spot. The woman working there was very nice and accommodating. I informed her that I’m vegan and inquired about a few of my favorite Nigerian foods: egusi, greens, jollof, and beans. She didn’t have egusi. She stated that she had greens but they’re made with fish. She then offered to make me a fresh batch sans the fish if I had time to wait. I most certainly do! It wasn’t a long wait either. I got a hefty container of food for about $15. There was enough food for 2 days (if I wasn’t being greedy).I tried my food right away. The greens were very good and clearly freshly made with quality produce. The beans were good. The jollof rice was SLAMMIN!! Perfection in the flavor department!I’m unsure how long they’ve been open, but they seem fairly new. They’re located in a strip mall with other small, locally owned businesses. Again, it’s carryout only; you cannot sit in and eat. (I ate in my car.) They also offer catering services.Be sure to check out this spot if you’re in the MSP area.Vegetarian options: Vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options“

“The food was great, it was my first time coming here so I wasn't really sure what to order. You get plenty of food for the price, so well worth it. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. There is a nice seating area on the side, which was perfect for a work lunch outing. My coworker did mention that usually the line is pretty long, but we got here around 1:30pm and it wasn't too bad!“
“Unfortunately couldn't capture a photo because we ate the food so fast!We ordered the gyro, waslad, and boy we could not have been happier with our meal. The spices, tenderness, and how they fried their food could not have been more perfect. Their sauces are spicy yet not overwhelming. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this place, it should be on everyone's hot list for the Twin Cities.“
