I was very disappointed with the service at IBY Restaurant. The staff showed little respect or attention to customers, and the waiting time for orders was far too long. Good food and a welcoming attitude go hand in hand, but unfortunately, that was not the case here. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve customer service and efficiency.

One of the best meals we had! Thank you!! The food was tasty, healthy, good balance, generous portion and an amazing hot sauce that just hit the spot!
The staff are super friendly and kind.
The washrooms were super clean and fragrant with lotas!

We had the steak, salmon and pasta and fried chicken.

Fantastic. Have no experience with Somali food but this was outstanding. The chicken steak, salmon, beef, pasta, rice were all so well made. Very reasonable pricing, staff are very hospitable, bathrooms clean.
