Maandeeq East Africa - Aurora

My colleague and I decided to step out of our comfort zone and try some new dishes. We opted for Somali cuisine, and it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the fried goat with rice, lamb with spaghetti, and chicken shawarma cuts with rice. We left feeling satisfied and completely full. The restaurant itself is a bit worn, but the woman who served us was very friendly. She patiently explained the different dishes and gave us excellent recommendations. Don’t let the unknown hold you back—give this place a try!

What a hidden gem! This place offers authentic Somali cuisine. I tried the chicken breakfast with a type of bread whose name I can’t recall. It was my first experience with African food, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

The East African cuisine here is outstanding, and the service is exceptional! The atmosphere feels truly authentic, evoking fond memories of my time in Kenya and Tanzania. I highly recommend this place!

My favorite dishes are the lamb or beef served with yellow rice. They open bright and early at 7 AM for breakfast, and they offer a fantastic ethnic dish from the Middle East called Kibda, which is lamb liver. I highly recommend you give it a try! Oh, and just so you know, Maandeeq accepts both cash and credit cards.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and as a fan of ethnic cuisines from around the world, I was excited to try it. Vietnamese and Mexican are among my favorites! At Maandeeq, I enjoyed a delicious lunch of goat rice paired with a salad, all for just $10. The chai drink was fantastic, too. Just a heads up: they only accept cash—no credit cards or checks. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit!
