Was just driving down the street and spotted this restaurant. Didn't expect much, but boy was I in for a surprise. First the guy at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful at helping me pick a Newby dish! The food was off the chain! I live all the way in Oldham County and I will be back again and again! Absolute diamond in the rough!!

I tried this gem for the first time this week. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The proprietor recommended the goat, which I've never tried. It was delicious! The side of bean/spinach soup had a wonderful flavor and paired well with the saffron rice. I also tried the egg encased in fried mashed potatoes. What's not to love about that? Throw in some shortbread cookies and you've got an amazing and unique meal! They even threw in a bottle of water and a banana. I will definitely be a repeat customer. There is nothing better than delicious food and good people. Check it out for yourselves and try something new. You won't be disappointed!

Best best best best place-Best best best-this place rocks! The guy who wrote that weird review, clearly has never been to Banaadir Cafe-More than likely this individual is unhappy with there life and like to hurt people's business to make himself feel better-No worries man forgive your parents-they love you*The truth is Banaadir Cafe is a Great Great Great Place, with great food friendly staff. Quick Service, Clean Facility, And a very chill Atmosphere-My kind of place that's why this Louisville foodiw says it's a must taste!

I ordered on Door Dash after seeing the reviews, and they weren't an exaggeration and did not disappoint. I ordered the Chicken Suqaar and sambusa. By far the BEST food I've had (of any kind) in so, so long. "Made with love" sounds so cliche, but that's the best description that I can give. EVERY SINGLE INGREDIENT tastes fresh and so well seasoned. I rarely feel inclined to leave google reviews, but this hit DIFFERENT!!!!!!! I wish you guys the absolute best in business and will be sending everyone your way. <3 <3 <3
