Absolutely splendid and authentic food, at very affordable prices. It’s pitched to local Somali people with a curtained-off area for the ladies, but we had a great time going through the massive portion of Haniid with sport rice and bananas. Very hospitable environment too. Overall a hidden gem in south London

This restaurant is a really authentic Somali restaurant. The food is delicious here and the staff are welcoming and accommodating. Their portions are generous and the food is always tasty. I always have the sukkar when I dine here — but my last trip, I also had the lamb shank was was cooked to perfection. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to eat if you’re looking for good Somali food.

The food here is amazing!! , the best Somali food in Streatham. Interior could do with an upgrade, please upgrade your interior so you can attract more people outside the Somali community. Delicious food , I always get a takeaway from here. Keep up!.
