The food was excellent, with generous portion sizes. The prices were reasonable, and I appreciated that it offered Halal options.
Fatuma's offers some of the best Somali cuisine I've ever tasted. The service is excellent, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it!
11/06/2021: I am pleased to reopen Fatuma. Although a new owner and menu items are slightly reduced, the taste is still great. Sumali Mediterranean food flavor is one of the best among all Mediterranean countries and Fatuma lives to promise. Her rice is excellent with great aroma, meat is well cooked, meat is cooked in great tasting spices, but not hot, and finally her food also adds vegetables. I love her Wasla Kebabs and Gyros.
This is our second time vacationing in SD and my family have really enjoyed their food .it was awesome ?Food: 4/5
I highly recommend the chicken steak and spaghetti combo; it's a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner. While the staff can take a bit of time, the wait is definitely worth it, as the chicken is cooked to perfection and pairs wonderfully with the sambusa noodles. They recently remodeled the restaurant, and both the food and the ambiance are impressive! Food rating: 5/5.
