Y'all!! I found it, the CHEAPEST lunch in the Lou, and it doesn't even rely on cheap carb basics like heaps of rice or pasta or bread!! I stopped in to try their sambusas since I'd never had Somalian cuisine as far as I knew. Upon entering there was a small grocery selection, but a quick walk straight back through the beaded curtain led to the restaurant.

I ordered two sambusas for $1.99 each and waited for a few minutes as delivery drivers
came...
Absolutely delicious! Food was seasoned to perfection. I got the tilapia filets with fufu. Completely devoured the entire dish. I would also recommend getting the chicken sombusa appetizer, I got 4 extra to take home.
The restaurant is located in the back of a market. When I went it was very empty so I was a bit unsure if I was in the right place, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. As a first introduction to Somalian food I found it authentic and approachable. I would highly recommend giving it a try.
