“I had a long layover in Minneapolis and wanted to try Somalian food. The food was very good. I explained to the man working the counter that it was my first time trying Somalian food, so he was helpful explaining the dishes and making recommendations. I felt very welcomed. Would recommend“

“I was staying in the University of Minnesota and this place was a life saver when I did not want to eat in the dining hall. Their falafel sandwich was genuinely some of the best falafel I have ever had and their fries were undoubtedly the best fries I have ever had. The service was super quick and we got our food in under 10 minutes consistently. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere to it. Would strongly recommend if you are in the area!“

“First time trying Somali food. I’ve had Indian and Arabic food before, so I figured Somali food would be somewhere in that family. After overthinking the menu like it was a final exam, I landed on the Oodkac… and yo, that was low-key fire.
The real MVP though was the Malawax. Soft, buttery, slightly sweet, and easily my favorite thing on the table. If you’re new here, order that.
We stopped by in the evening after some heavy rain. The spot was quiet, but the guys working there were super welcoming and took good care of us. I was hoping to get a banana with the meal (apparently that’s a thing), but no worries.
Solid food, good people. 9/10. I’d definitely come back.“
“The best East African restaurant in the Twin Cities hands down! I go to Kalsan at least once a month to get the Chicken Suqaar with rice, it's one of my favorite dishes in the city. They recently remodeled the interior too so I tend to sit down instead of ordering take-out now. Great place!“

“This was easily one of best restaurant meals I've had in the last year, maybe ever. I had hulbat marakh, and the owner brought out sambusas (on the house!) for us to share. I have enough leftovers for 1-2 more meals, after eating my fill. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!“
“Super friendly staff, excited to share Somali food. Somali tea was offered for free with all entrees. Cagoor was really good, also enjoyed foul and Malawah. I am a vegetarian so those would be my recommendation. A wonderful first experience with Somali food.“

“The steak suqaar was amazing. The chicken KK was too bit bland and sweet for me. A half size plate is still really big and filling! They gave us bananas for free as an appetizer which was super nice! The staff was so nice and we got everything despite our language barrier. Would 1000% recommend for the suqaar!“

“East Village is hands down the best Somali restaurant around!
Their sambusa is absolutely delicious — crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken salad is next level: clean, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality of the food here is unmatched, and the service is always friendly and fast. If you’re looking for top-notch Somali cuisine, East Village is the place to go!“

“Oh HECK yeah. This place was great.The sambusa is a little bundle of deliciousness, and the tea...the spiced tea felt like it would cure all ills. The people working were paragons of kindness and generosity. Unfortunately, they said business has been slower lately (thanks to ICE destroying the vibrance and safety of our city - author's note). Support this place, lift it up, enjoy same incredible sambusa and tea! Oh yeah, the malawah is the PERFECT amount of sweet.“

“Great little spot, when we came in we were greeted by Marco, Marco took our order with a smile and we had our food in less than 3 minutes, Marco threw in a free drink for us and took a moment to ask us all our names and formally introduce himself, it was overall kind genuine and warm, we had the (sambusa's?) With some great (really hot) hot sauce. Fantastic price, delicious goat haneeth, and even better rice. 10/10“
