As another reviewer said, they don't have a menu, but they'll help you order! The food is amazing and you get a lot for your money! I went with a friend and we got soup to start, coffee, chicken leg with spaghetti, and goat with rice. They finished off the meal with tea. So delicious! We will be going back every time we get together! View all feedback.
I went there specifically for the goat liver, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The waiter mentioned it had been ordered the day before, and it turned out to be gummy and stuck to my teeth, reminiscent of old liver, which left a strange taste in my mouth. I've had fresh liver before, and this just didn't compare. I returned it but didn't request a refund, and they didn't offer one either. I’m giving it 4 stars because I can't definitively prove it was old.
If you're in search of delicious Somali dishes, Barwaaqa Restaurant offers an inviting introduction to the rich culinary heritage of Somalia. Their Somali food sampler served on traditional Somali bread provides a perfect way to experience the flavors of Somalia at a glance. Here are some must-try dishes: 1. **Sabaayad** – A favorite breakfast staple, this flatbread is similar to chapati and can be enjoyed at any meal. 2. **Sambusa** – A crunchy, triangular pastry filled with spicy minced meat or vegetables, reminiscent of Indian samosas. 3. **Canjeero** – A fundamental part of Somali cuisine, this spongy flatbread is often enjoyed with honey. 4. **Doolshe Buuro** – A soft, delightful cake that is perfect for dessert. 5. **Xawaash** – A flavorful spice mix that adds warmth to many dishes. 6. **Basbousa** – A traditional sweet cake that's often enjoyed during celebrations. 7. **Kac Kac** – A special treat reserved for festive occasions. 8. **Malawah** – Similar to a pancake, it's a simple and versatile dish often included in breakfast spreads. For those eager to explore the flavors of Somalia, sample dishes like Sambusa, Bariis Ishkukaris (a fragrant rice dish akin to pilau), and the sweet Halwa, which is a festive treat usually served at weddings. Somali cuisine beautifully incorporates influences from various cultures, including Arab, African, Persian, Indian, and Italian, creating a vibrant and diverse culinary scene. The founder of the Somali Kitchen assured us that we'd enjoy the experience, and after weeks of research, we couldn't agree more. Whether it’s the comforting taste of Somali chai or the delightful crunch of sambusa, there's no doubt that delving into Somali food will add excitement to your culinary adventures. As we continue to embrace the rich tapestry of flavors from Somalia, we celebrate the diversity that unites people from East Africa and beyond. Together, we can build a community around the love of food and culture.
I stopped here for lunch today, and I can't believe how delicious the food is! It's a hidden gem in Galena, Mississippi. The goat meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the rice was fantastic. I'm one very happy and satisfied customer, and I will definitely be back. Yum!
Definitely didn't know what to expect, but with reviews like this I had to check it out. Went there for breakfast and was delightfully surprised at both how tasty the food was and the amount of food served. I had what seemed like a breakfast stew served along with some thin pancakes for dipping. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful when it came to ordering. Definitely going back when I'm in the area again.
The food quality is excellent the staff are good if you're going here breakfast try malawax and suqaar if you're going here lunchtime try rice and goat meat!
