This was very nice as some of us wanted breakfast! The service was great, food was excellent and the navel may be one of the best I’ve ever had!

“Delicious today was my first day visiting. We had everything on the menu but the fish entrées. Fresh amazing atmosphere sweet teenage boy who took our order and the owner his mom was outstanding. This is a place you have to come and eat!“

“Absolutely delicious food that made me feel amazing after eating. The green sauce was very spicy and blended well with my dish. aaand they gave me a banana... what an interesringly odd yet nice touch.

The price / portions were also spot on in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Kati. Thank goodness they actually had the bitter bread. The portions are on the larger side. I had enough for a second meal later in the day. Yes, it was so good I couldn't wait to eat the rest. Usually I save left overs for the next day.

Since I got this food to go, I'll keep my review rating to just rate the food. The parking is pretty bad with only about 8 parking spots, but at least they have do have dedicated parking. I showed up at 9 am and the parking lot only had one space left just for me. There was already several people inside eating. Even more came and went while I waited.

The interior needs a full make over in my opnion, but it's all fairly functional. Also their drinking water situation was confusing as they didn't even off me water with my meal. Maybe that was my fault. I originally asked for my food to go but mentioned that I was so hungry I was gonna eat some as soon as they handed it to me. So they decided to give it to me on a dine in plate.

Don't come for a fancy date night or even to impress anyone. Unless you explain the interior design situation ahead of time.... it's like eating at an old uncle or grandparents house.

Their service is fairly average, but the employees are a super chill vibe. A lot of customers had very lengthy conversations with the teller regardless if they were ordering, just hanging out, or already done eating.

Honestly I've been thinking about going back all week. Next time I'm in the area, stopping in for a plate will be a must.

Parking: Parking it front. Limited amount of space, but I got a spot just fine

Wheelchair accessibility: It's only one story, but they have stairs to get in“

“Ok it's not about the service, my friend speaks fluent Somali and he took me here to try the food and introduce me to some of the regulars who come here for food and community. it's not a 5 star date spot but if you can get past the looks, the food will not disappoint. It's not advertised by big signs and lights for a reason, it's a community spot spread by word of mouth not run by American capitalism. Try it out and thank me later:)“

“I stopped in for lunch following a meeting, and had an incredible meal of mafe (spicy peanut sauce with root vegetables over jasmine rice), and a cool glass bissap (hibiscus extract with pineapple juice). Why this place isn't mobbed defies comprehension. SO. GOOD.“

“The food is so good and the customer service is amazing. 10/10“

“I visited the place for the first time on Saturday the 20th July 2024. I ate Nyam choms with ugali and sukuma. My friend had Mukimo. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the service. The waitress was customer service oriented. Her name starts with an 'S'... can't remember it very well. The cocktail was made just as I asked. LIMS, the place to be.. See you soon.“
