About Madina restaurant

Madina restaurant is a Somali dining establishment, known for its great Somali food and good customer service. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, it is considered one of the best Somali restaurants in the United States. The restaurant's portions, texture, and taste are highly rated and are said to be superior to other middle eastern restaurants.

The menu features dishes that are mainly meat with either pasta or rice. One such dish is the Goat with rice, which is highly recommended. The restaurant also offers a unique beverage that resembles orange Kool-Aid. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the restaurant has a sink for customers to wash their hands before eating, following the sunna tradition. Additionally, there is a separate area for prayer and the restaurant is fully halal.

The rice dish is particularly flavorful, with a combination of raisins and red onions that adds to the delicious taste. The goat dish has a good flavor, but customers are advised to be aware of small bones. The cost of the food may seem higher than expected, but the portions are large and customers have reported having leftovers for several days. Many visitors praise the food, mentioning the delicious goat, chicken, and sides, and the fresh, huge portions. One reviewer enjoyed the breakfast, highlighting the fresh taste, large portions, and friendly service by Zahra, the host. Another guest shared that every dish was excellent, with aromatic brothy soup, Somali coffee fragrant with cardamom, and a variety of fruit desserts, all bursting with flavor and enough to feed 2-3 people for $18 per person. The attentive and friendly staff make it a place worth returning to. Overall, Madina restaurant is a must-visit for those looking for authentic Somali cuisine and supporting a locally-owned business.
