I genuinely wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars because the food is excellent. The flavor…read moreprofiles are complex and delicious, and everything I order tasted thoughtfully prepared. The interior decor is beautiful and creates a really nice atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, something I saw really changed my impression. While waiting, I had a clear view into the back where food was being prepared, and I saw a staff member sitting on a stool handling ingredients with bare hands and no gloves. Watching that made me uncomfortable and raised concerns for me about food safety practices. It's frustrating because the food itself is truly great and the service was kind. I'm leaving this review in hopes that management sees it and addresses the issue, because with stronger food-handling standards this place could easily be a 5-star restaurant. If this is corrected, I would absolutely be happy to update my review.

The Horn was buzzing with activity and loud with laughter when I walked in to pick up my online…read moreorder. As a recent transplant to the area, I've been searching for the best coffee spot nearby. I found The Horn and ordered 3 Sambusas as part of their 3 for $11 special as well as a Brown Sugar Iced Chai. My husband ordered an Americano. The Chicken and the Philly Cheesesteak Sambusas were my favorites, but the Philly one was a little too cheese-forward to my liking. The Beef was good, too, just not my favorite. When I arrived to pick up my online order, they made my chai on the spot, which I appreciated. It was delicious, but next time I'll order half sweet. I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu.

It is Somali cuisine. Most of the dishes are a meat with either pasta or rice. I got the Goat with rice. They give you a pitcher of what seems like orange kool aid (sorry no disrespect). I can't really have sweets so I asked for a bottle of water. The staff members were friendly and accommodating. There is a sink on the outside of the men's room and I know in places like Afghanistan, they have these sinks to wash your hands because you eat with your hands - it is sunna to eat with your hands (spoons are also provided). They also have a little sectioned off area for people to pray in a similar way that places like House of Kebab have a prayer room. Everything is Halal and there seemed to be a fair amount of people in there. The rice was very flavorful. It reminded me of the rice at Al Rasoul or Osh. It had some raisin and red onion - the flavor combination was very delicious. The goat was as expected. The flavor was good, be wary of small bones. The cost may seem higher than expected but it was a LOT of food. I ate off it for the next several days. Also if you want to support a locally owned Somali business I recommend it.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!…read more My friends and I unfortunately had an awful experience! The service was not great and the ambiance was basic. We waited 20 mins before we were asked for our beverage order and even longer to order food. We stayed because of our excitement to try. The server kept forgetting our order and never told me the appetizer I ordered was sold out until I asked. I got the veggie plate and was disappointed because my food came out cold. My friends got the lamb and chicken, they hated it. I was told the meat was tough and not cooked well. Overall, none of us liked our food and will not go back

I assume that they're Eritrean (Habesha cousins of Ethiopians) because the names of my favorite dishes seem to be a different language from their Ethiopian counterparts' Amharic. But the flavor was never lost in translation! I ordered Combo # 3 for $18.99. It comes with your choice of 4 vegetables (out of 5 preselected options) and one salad (out of three preselected choices). The side choices are quinoa, injera, or white rice. I confirmed with them that they use teff, meaning the injera is gluten free. They also offer 3 spice levels: regular, spicy, and extra spicy. I love all five vegetable options so it was hard to decide. I ended up choosing the Red Lentils, Yellow Lentils, Tikil Gomen (the cabbage dish), and Collard Greens. Everything was excellent! 10/10! (Everything I ordered was vegan and gluten free.) I ordered spicy because I love spicy food. But let me tell you... I was not prepared for the authentic African spices they hit me with. My bad! I will never underestimate them again. I had to literally sit the injera on my tongue first, then put the food in my mouth in order to finish my meal. LOL Next time I'll be a good little American and order it the normal way. I'll try their fosolia (green beans and carrots) next time. The Shiro also looks good, but it's only available as a full entree. They operate out of a food hall, so it's take out only. I ordered online and my food was ready at the promised time. The customer service was excellent and the lady (whom I'm assuming was the owner) was very nice and helpful. I will definitely order from them again.
