What a gem. The staff/owners were friendly and helpful. The portions for the suqaar were ample. I had the goat and chicken, I probably liked the seasoning profile on the goat more than the chicken. The rice they came with was fantastic - perfectly cooked and seasoned. It wasn't busy when I was in so there was plenty of time to chat with the staff. I am definitely going back.

“Sō Māla. This place going in, you can smell the food they cooked. The place is clean and very welcoming by the staff. They greeted me the second I came through the doors. The food I ordered was beef suqaar meal. Man when the staff came out of the kitchen with the take out container, I could smell the food and it was ???? so good. I was drooling at that point smelling the food. The food was super affordable and it’s a lot. It can feed two people at least with the meal. While tasting it without the lemon and the green sauce which is spicy, man ??? the food is super good like damn you don’t need extra sauce or lemon on it. But putting the lemon and the green sauce took it to the next level. ❤️❤️ The beef is super good and chewy which I like and it has good flavor with it. Overall the food is bomb ❤️ 9/10.”

My husband & I try a new restaurant once a week & last night we tried So Mala. I never leave reviews (I believe this is my first), but staff asked me for feedback & they deserve it! The food was phenomenal. I got the beef suqaar meal & my husband got the chicken suqaar. We got takeout & ate it nearby the capitol, then maybe 30 minutes later we ended up finishing all of it off! Was hoping for leftovers but it was too good to leave anything behind. Staff was friendly & I loved getting a free banana with each meal, taking bites of banana between mouthfuls of rice & meat was superb. Inside the restaurant was clean & basic, nothing special but would have no issues eating there.

This was a great find. Small place located on the main road. The parking is in the back of the building. Had the beef suqaar. Huge portion and delicious. Said this was my first time eating Somali food. Didn't have goat but said he would make a really good meal. Great spice level. Would definitely recommend.
