Hoyos' always hits the spot every time ! I usually get their basmati rice with mango chicken, paired with fresh greens that they always have! Along with their lentils. The service is always amazing, it's great to see them expanding, the ambiance is perfect, located at the North Market in Bridgepark! 10/10! read more

This was a popular spot during a convention I was attending. I ordered the safari chicken with a mango ginger lemonade. The meal had so much flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It tasted great, I understand why there was a line waiting to get food. Tucked inside of North Market, this is definitely a place to try amongst all the other yummy food stalls. read more

My family and I tried Hoyo's for the first time. I found the chicken suqaar really yummy. Be careful of getting it with the spicy rice and green chili sauce, as it packs a very spicy kick (goes to your throat). It was really yummy though regardless. We also got the chicken and beef sambusas. It's nice that they fry these to order. We liked the beef one more, but they were inconsistent with the frying. Some were too fried. The sambusas are quite large, but I could have done without the overly onion addition to the meat. The sambusas should also come with a cilantro or some kind of dipping sauce. I got the watermelon guava drink mixed with the mango. I was told the best drink is actually mixing all their flavors: watermelon guava, mango, and ginger pineapple. The drink was good, not overly sweet and refreshing. Will go back for the combo rice bowls. read more

Tried the mango chicken at Hoyo's. The flavor was a little bland and I did not taste mango as much as chili powder. The portion was generous, service fast and friendly. I would still like to try another dish from Hoyo's but would not recommend this one. The Bridge Park location is fun, casual and family friendly. read more

We ordered their bowl with goat, lentils, and the Somali flat bread. You order at the counter and they call you when the meal is ready -- the service was quick and efficient. The Somali flat bread was excellent. The lentils and flavors of the dish were also very good. The only problem was that the goat was way overcooked. Nonetheless, I look forward to return visit and trying some of their other menu items. read more

I had been to Hoyo's a number of times before going veg, both at the Bridge Park and North Market locations. They offer build your own bowls with African inspired options. I had read that their vegetarian bowl was something special, and it is. The bowl is a medley of African stews, veggies, and spiced rice. The portion size is plentiful, this is truly a meal. It can come with one of three sauces ranging from flavorful to downright spicy. The Bridge Park outpost of Hoyo's used to be focused on juice and hand pies (think African empanada), but they now offer their full menu. As veg options go, the bowl at Hoyo's is an excellent option. read more

Hoyo's is some of the best cuisine I have ever had. They have 2 locations at North Market Downtown and in Dublin. Family owned and you can appreciate it in each order!! You MUST try them...... read more

Stopped in on a Wednesday night about 30 minutes before they closed. There was no line and the man working was super nice and answered all my questions since this was my first time visiting. I ended up getting a bowl with spicy rice, safari chicken, lots of toppings, and the garlic yogurt sauce. While I was waiting they even offered me a free chai! The bowl only took about 5 minutes and I took it to go. The flavors were amazing and everything tasted so fresh even though they were close to closing. The bowl with tip was $17 which is definitely on the pricier end, but it was so good and I was able to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day so it was worth it in my opinion. Highly recommend and I will be back! read more

Do not get the mango chicken! Even though it is the most expensive thing on the menu it is bone dry inside and hard. Like it was made a week ago and sat outside the fridge. When I said "this is not edible. It's too dry" I was told that is how mango chicken is. What a waste of an $18 lunch! Had to eat around the chicken. So gross. When they saw me taking pictures of it they brought me over a different chicken which was really good. The vegetables were fresh. They redeemed themselves but don't get the mango chicken read more

Always a struggle to decide what to pick in the food hall/market cause everything looks good. Picked to try out Hoyo's Kitchen when I'm in North Market Bridge Park. It is actually my first time trying some Somali food. I really like the straightforward menu with the start up to build a bowl, wrap or salad. Then protein and veggies to follow. I got the Mango Chicken rice bowl and love it. The chicken is tender and the sauce is slightly sweet and have some subtle fruitiness. You can get it with the spicy level of your choice. I like it mild and just a kick to it. Also, have to highlight their Watermelon and Guava drink. Super refreshing and prefect for the hot days. read more

Yummy! I enjoyed a bowl with spicy rice, safari chicken and various vegetables. It's a zesty type of spicy. Not spicy initially but it grows. Not sure but tasted like a combination of turmeric, cloves and coriander etc. If you are daring there's even spicier choices. Will definitely come back. read more

Little pockets of spicy love. That's what you get when you bite into a Hoyo's samosas: a pocket of fried and spicy deliciousness. This is a Somali fast-casual joint inside the North Market Bridge Park. There is another location in Columbus, but I happened upon this one when I visited the food hall in Dublin. The samosas -- stuffed, fried triangles filled with different fillings -- are nicely displayed and were calling out to me when I passed by. I had to try one. The samosas are hardy and filling, and they come with two different dipping sauces. The samosa that I got was pretty spicy, and the sauces were spicy too, so if you like a little heat, you'll like these. Hoyo's also sells juices, like mango and tamarind, as well as Somali chai. This restaurant is located inside the North Market Bridge Park, so you have a lot of other food choices, but you should definitely try this one. read more

The food here could be good. It looks delicious. But how can one know without a sample? Well, you won't. The Somali restaurant owned and operated by decidedly not-Somali people, will not afford a taste of their sauces from a ramekin or with a plastic spoon. I guess this is understandable in some way but their brusque and even mocking dismissiveness for just a plastic spoon dipped in a sauce was enough to ward the crowd around me away. Terrible service, terrible manners. read more

This is my favorite vender in the Dublin North Market. The food is consistently fantastic, and the staff is always super friendly. The sambusas are a wonderful grab and go lunch or snack, and the included sauces are out of this world! I have had many of their other menu items over the past year and have never been disappointed. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. A solid 5! read more

First time trying Somali food and it was delicious! Got the Spicy rice, lentils, chickpeas, cabbage, and spinach. I only wanted the hot veggie bowl. There are options for cold veggies. I also added the green chili sauce. Beef sambusa rounded out the meal. The rice definitely had some kick to it..... usually when listed spicy, it's not noticeable to me. Anyway service and food were great. Definitely coming back! read more

Fantastic good. Bowl with their choice of meat. I wanted to get the Beef but they were out. Got the chicken on salad with all the vegetables and really was fantastic. Will be back again! read more

I already love their chai and bottled green sauce, but hadn't actually eaten here until today. The mango chicken was so good, especially with some sabayad to mop up the lentils. I got half regular/half spicy rice but will definitely be back to try the injera + goat. Super friendly staff and portions are hefty! read more

Hoyo's is absolutely delicious! The ingredients are fresh and staff are helpful with selecting delicious combinations.

Very good food and large servings. Really enjoyed a trip back to east Africa. Thanks

My first time trying Somali food, and I'm glad it was from Hoyo's. I got a bowl with spicy rice, chicken suqaar, lentils, chickpeas, and all of the cold veggie toppings. Chicken was tender, the spicy level was just enough to get me sweating a little, and the flavors in the sauce were like fireworks going off in my mouth. Good portion as well. I have to come back to try the sambusas and the goat. read more
