One of best somali restaurants in st Louis area
Super unassuming from the outside. The food was amazing and we had so much left over! The young man at the restaurant counter was very helpful. Have the dine in experience because we had a great time ordering everything we thought we wanted to taste. We purchased a couple of things from the store up front and had an overall good experience.
UPDATE:
DARBA has completely renovated the restaurant for the better AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL!! We visited Saturday 9/18/2026 and the experience...read full review

Based on the reviews, Darba Restaurant is a hidden gem offering the cheapest lunch in the Lou without relying on cheap carb basics. The restaurant is located in the back of a market, behind a beaded curtain, and is a hole in the wall kind of place with a decent amount of seating. The food is delicious and seasoned to perfection. Customers enjoyed the sambusas, with the beef being a favorite, and recommend the chicken sombusa appetizer. One customer ordered the tilapia filets with fufu and completely devoured the entire dish. The portions are very generous, and the prices are decent. One customer spent only $3.98 on two sambusas and was surprised to receive a free bottle of water and a banana. The service is outstanding, provided by the two young ladies working the restaurant. As a first introduction to Somalian food, it is authentic and approachable. Customers would highly recommend giving it a try and will always come back.
