Lamb mandi (rice topped with tender big cut lamb meat) is the most favorite menu. Try this one if you like to feel African style eatery.

My first time eating African food and ima say it was great. The customer service was over the top and I will definitely come back again. Don’t judge the place by looks, I highly recommend. Thank you

We had our Wednesday dinner. Ordered Lamb shank with rice. Beefsteak and rice. Food is okay but needs more improvement. Comes with soup and banana. Service is slow and not expect much. Table was sticky and floor has food waste. Restroom was clean.

Loved the taste of the food. The value for money was great! One of the best halal places in Columbus

Best food ever. The guy was super friendly. I highly recommend it

A very authentic Somali food experience. So authentic in fact, that I was the only one speaking English. Food was great. Everything comes with a banana. The soda options are a sugary blast of sweet delicious.
