We were welcomed with open arms and promptly greeted and shown our seats. Just minutes after we received the menu they surprised us with a complimentary appetizer- Sombusa and Somali Tea which was really good and it was all on the house!!! The entire place was sparkling clean, modern and oh so comfortable. The food was beyond delicious we decided to go all out and ordered the family plate with rice and pasta and it came with four different types of meats. Every bite burst with amazing flavors it was a true feast that left us incredibly satisfied and happy. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The goat was flavorful and tender, and came on a mountain of perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. They also provided hot sauce and a lemon wedge. Others in my party got the chicken suqaar plates, and enjoyed their meals too. We all were obsessed with the bisbaas/basbaas (green hot sauce) that came with our meal, and I really liked the dynamic flavors in the food. Pricing is a little high, but the amount of food you get is generous. I'd definitely come back again and will plan to take leftovers home or share an entree.

I'm not very familiar with African food, and the menu items were mostly unfamiliar to me. Even so, I'm thoroughly pleased with my take-out order (ugali with beef that also came with a couple sides: a little salad and lentils with cooked greens of some sort)! It was maybe a 15 min wait for my food to be prepared after ordering, but it came out hot and flavorful! I look forward to coming back again.

The server who took my order over the phone is friendly, answered my questions and helped me choose the sides. The establishment is half restaurant and half bar. Turn left after you enter through the door to get to the restaurant part. Food: Rafiki basket (3 appetizer combo) - mandazi (fried bread, slightly sweet) is my favorite, followed by the samosa (beef filling, kind of oily) Samaki WA Nchuzi (fried whole tilapia with sauce) - the sauce is not spicy, bright with lime and tomato. Mbuzi Kaanga (goat stew) - some bones as expected. Goat meat is tender and flavorful, though portion isn't that big. For sides we tried the collard greens, Ugali (white corn mash, very dense, not my favorite) and chapati. Overall a good first experience. We want to come back to try other dishes.

Super expensive meal very low quality. We were looking to have a tasty cultural experience, and was greatly disappointed. They were nice and kind to their or culture of people but we found them to be very dismissive and uninterested in serving us. It was mid day around 3-5pm... we had to keep asking for food we ordered and the food was cold. They brought us the main food, five minutes later we had to ask for the sides. 10min later they brought it. We waited 30min for drinks... and like I said, no one was in there! Like two regulars drinking beer. I really wanted to enjoy, but we will not be coming back! God bless. Be better.

This is a catering place, so the only tables and chairs are the ones out in the strip mall (no dine in). The gentleman who helped me was very nice.

The fufu was nice and fluffy. The egusi was very flavorful. I will have to ask them to make it spicy for me next time =0) Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes.

They serve them in a roll version vs. what you typically see in a restaurant with different dollops of food on the spongy bread. Generous spread of sauce and veggies fill the bread, rolled up, and ready to eat. It was perfect and delicious too! We also bought a baklava without nuts. When we were there, only one person seems to be working, but it was in the middle of the afternoon when it wasn't too busy. She prepped our food and was our cashier too. She was a very kind and sweet lady, and was extra appreciative that we drove half an hour to buy from them. This Food Hall strive to support refugees and immigrants by offering kitchens and retail spaces for them to start a small business. Currently, 8 businesses are sharing time and use of the facilities, 3 days each per week with Mondays closed. Check the Spice Bridge website for details. This new hall is very clean and well organized. There are plenty of signs/menus to guide you on your food adventure. There are also plenty of hand sanitizer! Dining is available at the outside seats/benches.
