Food was good. Spicy sauce on the side. Huge portions!

Delicious home-cooked food. I had the goat with rice and it was AMAZING! A hearty stew, slow cooked with bone-in goat, generous portions, and served with all the fixings. The two women behind the counter were kind and helpful too. I will definitely be coming back.Quick note: it’s a simple diner, and popular. When I was there for lunch the clientele was 100% Ethiopian men. The only women were myself and the lovely women behind the counter. This place feels like it would be completely at home in Addis Ababa.

Great food, great owner ! You won't regret this place !

Excellent food would recommend the rice and chicken legs

I came here for the first time to pick up a quick dinner for my fiance and I. I've never had Somalian food so I was really excited to try something new.I came in and was greeted by the owner. He was very helpful in choosing a dish, as I wanted something that was a traditional staple in their culture. He even allowed me to try a dish to see if I liked it before purchasing. I made my order and waited at the restaurant.I noticed that this is a family restaurant, the owner and I believe his wife (forgive me if I'm wrong) make the food. As I waited, the owner gave me a up of spiced tea with milk and sugar which was delicious. He was very hospitable.Brought the food home and realised how large the portions were. The food looked and smelled amazing. When I took a bite, I was in heaven. Such healthy, flavourful food. This restaurant is my new staple whenever I want a delicious meal. Thank you so much!

Awesome food, the taste is unbeatable. I ate the kidney and crepes, and the combination was amazing.

Loved finding this treasure! I went when they were only serving breakfast, and I chose liver for my protein and injera for my bread. It was really delicious, nice and tender and flavorful, the injera was crisp and spongy. The tea is also great, super hot, sweet, and spicy. I loved every lick of this and I keep thinking about it, can’t wait to go back and try everything.

It is good to eat with taste like lunch. I recommend for tasty food.

The best Somali restaurant in Chicago. The food is exquisite at good price. The portions are huge. Will recommend the goat meat. Flavourful and soft. All in all, will definitely visit again.

The food was the best. Try it will not be disappointed. Best Somali resturant in Chicago honestly and i been to all.
