Smallish restaurant serving Horn of Africa cuisine which is refreshing to those who want a different taste to the palette than the usual Middle Eastern, Indo-Pak food. The food is good, the servings plentiful, and the service is good. The ambience is not great and the location is decidedly "not upmarket". There are other halal establishments including a meat store and the whole plaza has a Somali feel to it. Try it and appreciate a different food experience.

The quality and taste/flavor of food is great. However the environment could improve. The person who served us (wife and toddler) was very friendly and gave us a free mango juice and salad. Will definitely go there again and try out different items on the menu
