Tried the goat. Not really any meat on it but really tasty. Spicy and well balanced. It was nearly closing so I'm not holding that against them.Simple pic an item and build a bowl. Ask for combinations that work, I'm glad I took the advice given. Vegetarian options looked quite good.Definitely worth a trip.
Love this place, located in the North Market downtown. What an explosion of flavors! The Mango Chicken is so delicious with just the perfect amount of spice. The goat is also very good, fall off the bone, so I usually get half & half. The samosas are incredible! ive had the beef and chicken, both are so good. Staff is friendly and helpful!
Our meal was amazing! The goat was very tender and spiced to perfection. The injera is the way to go. We will be back!
I recently visited the North Market location with a friend on a weekend trip to Columbus. I have never had true African cuisine so I was excited to start with Hoyo’s. The woman that prepared my food was incredibly kind and gave me details about choices that were new to me. I chose a bowl with rice, safari chicken, chickpeas, lettuce, and cabbage (with garlic yogurt, of course) and it was truly one of the best meals I have had in a while. The flavors were so intentionally developed and had layers of spot-on texture and spices that were just as great even the day after. Loved the people, loved the conversation, and loved the opportunity to experience their comfort food. I cannot wait to go back!!
I have had the sambusas previously which I love and was excited to try one of their bowls at my last visit. Chose Somali basmati rice and Beef Suqaar. Wanted to really enjoy this but I was pretty disappointed and regretted choosing to eat here given all the other options in North Market. My meal was really bland with no spice. Didn't even finish my lunch as I was tired of the monotonous taste of the food. Giving it 4 stars only because the sambusas are so darn tasty.
Been to the North Market many times (one of my favorite stops while traveling), but first time at Hoyo's and I must say, the food is excellent. The chicken is tender and the dish has a perfect amount of sweet & spicy. I would absolutely recommend and can't wait to go back.
Delicious food! I did half regular and half spicy rice with mango chicken, cabbage, lentils, red onion, and raw cabbage... soooo good! I started eating before thinking to take a photo. Don't miss this place!
When I tell you I'm obsessed with this place, it is an understatement! I have broken my diet more times than I care to admit because of how delicious this place is! My favorite thing to get is the Mango Chicken! So incredible! If you go to North Market, I HIGHLY suggest trying Hoyo's Kitchen before you leave!
Amazing! The price was based on the type of main meat or protein. The mango chicken was $14.I bought a dish consisting of cabbage, lentils, mango chicken, lettuce and red onions.
Highly recommend by some co workers and I'm so glad I listened. Absolutely delicious and I recommend the mango chicken if you want a good balance of flavor and heat! Generous portions(I had leftovers for another meal), great flavors, everything melds well together. The creamy garlic sauce is to die for and I'd put it on everything! A not-to-miss place for awesome food!
