Worst service ever . Worst employee
They have a very delicious Sambusa with a touch of spice; but their service sucked. The place is not clean and they throw your food at you. They don't hand it to you.

This place is so sketchy. You will never pay the same price. They will charge you double. They won’t offer you receipts and if you ask for a receipt, it will not be itemized, it will only have the total that you paid. They don’t have menus with the price on it. They charge $1 for hot sauce but the amount is never consistent, sometimes they’ll give you a couple of milliliters and other times they’ll fill the container all the way. If you try and dispute the price they’ll just raise the tone and talk over you, they’ll talk to their coworkers about your dispute but they won’t respond to anything you’re saying. If you want halal meat, it’s worth checking out, if you want halal business practices, steer clear of this place.

The sambusa would be good if it didn’t consist of mostly onion. I wish they would just raise the prices and give customers quality sambusas and meals that aren’t mostly cost cutting fillers

Look at the insane amount of onion I pulled out from one meal. There’s an entire onion in just one serving of lunch. If you pick the onions and meat in the sambusa, you’ll see that there is more onion in the sambusa than there is meat.

One of my mother's favorite food spots. Kind of in a rough spot and the parking lot is usually pretty packed, but you can usually find a spot as people are going in and out. Some sketchy people sometimes, but haven't had my own personal prolonged run in over the many years. I usually go here to order their rice and sambusas. No clear menu which can make the process and offerings unclear for newcomers/non-regulars. (They used to have a faded visual menu on top of the register when you walk in. Unsure what happened to it). The staff are usually courteous and the rice and sambusas are always tasty. Very much organic, immigrant/Somali atmosphere and staff.
My only gripe is I have had multiple instances where my order is incorrect when I don't do the due diligence of double-checking. I typically will repeat my order clearly MULTIPLE times to make sure the cashier has recalled my order correctly based on this experience. Not sure where the fall off happens if it's just miscommunication or forgetfulness on the kitchen staff's part as I know they don't use a ticketing system and communicate back orders in their native language; especially since they are always busy. Last week I went by to get a plate for my mother and didn't realize until days later when she asked for it that her chicken portion was missing. Makes it very annoying to recognize you're missing what you paid for.

This place was recommended by a colleague so I pre-ordered 30 sabosa for my daughter's dance team. I was not aware the spice level for the veggie stuffing and the potatoe was not fully cook, still crunchy. Super inconvenient since they don't have a phone number I can call to place my order. On the pick up day I had to change my pick up time because they stated they are closed. If you're looking to try this place, the beef sabosa is the best!
