Bad food. Missing food. Poor customer service I made 2 orders for a beef shank cooked with vegetables but a plain beef shank with plain rice was delivered. Food was of extremely poor quality. One whole order was also missing. They promised to deliver my missing order but never did. In short, they took my money without delivering the order.

On the authority of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it is said that a Muslim is one from whom other Muslims are safe from harm, and an immigrant is one who forsakes what God has forbidden. The Almighty forbids harming a Muslim without just cause. I, a Muslim, experienced harm on that rainy night when my car was towed from the gathering place without my knowledge, solely because I entered the restaurant of my Yemeni neighbor, a fellow Muslim. Isn’t it God who has promised sustenance from the skies, rather than relying on empty assurances? What did I gain by paying $260 for a meal while I was unable to work that night because I got drenched in the rain? God is sufficient for me, and He is the best of guardians over my affairs. Shame on you for your actions that have tarnished Islam and the image of Muslims. Praise be to God, for He has compensated me with His grace, while you offered me nothing but ill wishes and misfortune. You, who serve only wealth, are truly unfortunate. This world is merely a passing enjoyment and vanity. May God guide you to better success, if it is His will.
The lamb shank is amazing—tender and full of flavor. Additionally, their Somali dishes are both authentic and tasty. I highly recommend this place!
It’s been a few years since I’ve been there but the food was great. We had no idea what to order so they made our group a platter with a variety of food. Excellent food, all of it!
