A little bit of a language barrier and differences in understanding, even so they try their best to help me have a good exprerience. Their food is outstandingly good. Totally worth for the price.Parking: Store parking lot.

Great place for some descent goat meat over rice. Service was excellent!Ordered Goat Meat over Rice which is #1 on their current menu and it was was descent and filling! Good ratio of meat to fat as well! The meat itself was a little undercooked so was a bit chewy compared to traditional middle eastern meats but this maybe be the Somalian way of doneness on the meat not quite sure. Water and Banana at no extra cost was great to see!

Delicious food!! Flavors are delicate and well balanced, meat is tender and great filling portions, but does not feel heavy at all.

I tried this place out the other day to see if I could go there regularly (it is close to my job). Unfortunately, it was quite expensive. Including tip, it was $17 for a basic gyro with no fries. It did not feel like a justified price for the level of gyro I received. It is too bad because the women at the counter were kind.I will not likely return unless I hear things have changed.

The food was delicious.I would like more Somali atmosphere. Somali music playing with Somali music videos, or images of the country on the big screen.As Arnold said, "I'll be back"

Delicious Falafel. I mainly chose because it was the lowest price. Most everything else is $15 & up, so a little pricey, but maybe I'm still living in the 70's :-)The service was good, and I'll definitely be back.(I didn't rate for this, but it would be nice if they played Somali music, and had Somali videos of the country, or Somali music videos on their big screens)

I was so excited to try Somali food, and Hodma lived up to its reputation. The rice with goat was absolutely delicious, and I could not stop eating even when I was full. The ugali with chicken was just amazing. I wish I knew how they spice that chicken. The ladies working were so kind a patient, even though we were in for a rather late dinner and had a lot of questions. I would definitely go back if I am in the area again.

Amazing amazing food. I haven't been that satisfied after a meal in a long time. It was even hard to stop and take leftovers home even tho the portions were so big-- it was so delicious I just wanted to keep eating! I would say that the atmosphere could use some development as it feels like a very temporary space. Providing reusable utensils instead of disposable ones would also add positively to the experience. Otherwise, very friendly and helpful staff, clean space, simple menu, and again, incredibly delicious food.

Fantastic food and super friendly service. My group had the chicken, tilapia, sambosa and falafel wraps. Everyone loved their meal.

Star Anderson

I bought sambusas. They were bland and the beef was super dry. I should've known better when I walked in and NO other customers were there or came, within my 20 min wait, in the middle of the day and the only 2 staff members were sitting at a table chatting.
