Beef / lamb both extremely dry. I came end of the day but I shouldn’t have been served stale and dried out jerky. Portion sizes were not comparable, I got a lot of old tasting gamey lamb, but small amount of dried beef. Not worth the money I paid ($36) should have been no more than $20. Menu price also listed it different so I was scammed for older food. I have to be honest and share how bad the food was because I think the value of what I got for what I paid is haram. Sorry.

A literal staple for me ever since I moved to Ottawa. The beef stew and rice and a comfort meal, and the bur and samosas pair perfectly with chai.

The food here is simply amazing …. If you have never tried Somali (East African) cuisine I suggest you run to ASAL right now and place your order (or order through Uber eats/Skip etc whatever you prefer) … their food will change your life … go early as they will sell out the food is just that good and made to order I should add … you must try a sambusa or 2 or 3 … what are you waiting for order NOW you’ll be happy you did!!!

The most authentic Somali food in Ottawa as of yet. I ordered Samosa's for my work potluck and it was definitely a hit! I also got a plate of rice and meat and it was very delicious and properly seasoned. I will be returning here more often!

We went there this afternoon with my family and it was closed. The sign outside says OPEN and the google maps says the store is open and the door was locked and no one was answering the phone. We were looking forward to try Somalian food and we got disappointed.

New place. Prices are sketchy. Food is good.

Parking: You might have to park after the corner since there is parking on one side of the street in front of the restaurant.
