Taste of Somalia is so good - I can't say it loud enough…read more The service is top notch. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and his cousin. We got chai on the house and they hooked it up with the sauces. We waited in the car and they delivered to our window. They used to open from 2-6pm(?) but changed their hours for Ramadan from 5-10pm to cater to their customers. The rice is extremely flavorful. I could eat the rice alone honestly. The meats are juicy with a hint of sweetness. The garlic sauce is perfect, I like the consistency. It's not super creamy like a ranch. It's more fluid, it comes right out of the container, no scraping needed. The green "hot sauce" gives the dish some acidity (although it can be spicier, it's more flavor than hot sauce) with the cilantro-vinegary feel and taste. The portions are huge. If you like The Halal Guys, picture that elevated. I am a loyal Halal Guys fan, don't get me wrong - I still love it, however Taste of Somalia is truly a level up. The Somali spices shine through delivering a much more robust and complex flavor profile. This is a must have. Thank you Taste of Somalia, can't wait to visit you again.

Everything was 10/10. Big portions, soulful vibes, delicious food. I got the mixed meat rice bowl…read morebecause I couldn't decide between beef or chicken. It was super flavorful, and fed my two toddlers and I with leftovers. The service was welcoming and friendly! I'm definitely coming back. Don't forget the milk cakes, it's just like tres leches my fav! The only thing I would do different is ask for more of the garlicky white sauce, I'm not sure what it's called but it was great!

First time here and we tried the beef schwarma wrap and the lamb shank plate. The wrap was…read moredelicious, but the portion was a bit small and one person could easily eat two wraps. However, the lamb shank plate had a huge lamb portion on bone served with basmati rice and sautéed veggies, flavors were great and the plate was large enough to share. The dining area was pretty bare, service is ok, and they didn't offer any water other than bottled water to purchase. I'd probably come back and get takeout rather than eat here next time, but the food was good.

The green sauce was very spicy…read moreand blended well with my dish. aaand they gave me a banana... what an interesringly odd yet nice touch. The price / portions were also spot on in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Kati. Thank goodness they actually had the bitter bread. The portions are on the larger side. I had enough for a second meal later in the day. Yes, it was so good I couldn't wait to eat the rest. Usually I save left overs for the next day. Since I got this food to go, I'll keep my review rating to just rate the food. The parking is pretty bad with only about 8 parking spots, but at least they have do have dedicated parking. I showed up at 9 am and the parking lot only had one space left just for me. There was already several people inside eating. Even more came and went while I waited. The interior needs a full make over in my opnion, but it's all fairly functional. Also their drinking water situation was confusing as they didn't even off me water with my meal. Maybe that was my fault. I originally asked for my food to go but mentioned that I was so hungry I was gonna eat some as soon as they handed it to me. So they decided to give it to me on a dine in plate. Don't come for a fancy date night or even to impress anyone. Unless you explain the interior design situation ahead of time.... it's like eating at an old uncle or grandparents house. Their service is fairly average, but the employees are a super chill vibe. A lot of customers had very lengthy conversations with the teller regardless if they were ordering, just hanging out, or already done eating. Honestly I've been thinking about going back all week. Next time I'm in the area, stopping in for a plate will be a must.

Great food, decent prices!…read more I was seeking something beyond the typical food offerings while on my way to the airport, and this was my chosen spot. I'm not very familiar with African food, and the menu items were mostly unfamiliar to me. Even so, I'm thoroughly pleased with my take-out order (ugali with beef that also came with a couple sides: a little salad and lentils with cooked greens of some sort)! It was maybe a 15 min wait for my food to be prepared after ordering, but it came out hot and flavorful! I look forward to coming back again.

Very chill atmosphere. Not many people here for lunch on a Thursday. Honestly I will be back next time I'm out in the area for work! The coffee is also decent and cheap compared to what you'd get in Seattle. The beans are ground fresh which was a plus. Big portions as well. Almost didn't finish everything on my own.

This restaurant is near the Pancake Chef. The shop is small and the sign is hard to see it but It is located in the row of shops under the Pancake chef. The store is spacious with tables and chairs. My hubby and I went to the counter and ordered the Ethiopian Combination Dish. This menu has full size and half size, and the price is not so different, so I chose the full size and we decided to share it. They brought us a warm sweet ginger tea and two bottles of water while the waiting food. We love this ginger tea. There are only African customers in the store and Muslim people are praying near the place to wash hands. I washed my hands quietly without disturbing them. The staff at the shop are very kind, smiling and good service. Ethiopian combination dish is a homemade teff bread, chicken stew, lentils, spices chiles, lettuce and mix veggies. You can choose meat (chicken, beef, lamb) We ate injera, meat and mix veggies together, chicken was tender, spiced and delicious. We couldn't eat it all and took it home. It was even better the next day when I warmed it up in the microwave and ate it. I want to come to eat breakfast next time.

The people there were African, as was everyone else who came in during our stay. We came for Ethiopian food, and there was only one Ethiopian dish on the menu, the Ethiopian combo plate, with either chicken, lamb, or beef. We ordered the full combo plate with beef and it was excellent. Plenty of food for two. Three people like us could share a combo plate and still have an ample lunch. The menu has a number of interesting looking Somali dishes too. I'll have to try some of those in the future. Recommended.

So I then went to go pick up I was soo excited even paid $30 cash cuz I didn't have change and obviously don't mind tipping the mom working late. When I got home and opened the box there was a weird smell I tried to ignore and fist bite had to spit it out idk why it smelled I tried the pasta thinking maybe it's just the shrimp but no same thing and then I tried to smell the cheese and that's when I gagged I really was excited to eat this and now I have to just throw it away because I'm scared of food poisoning. So I made my brother smell it thinking I'm tweaking but he also gagged and almost threw up just like me. This is really disappointing
