The service was great and friendly. Prices are reasonable. If you're not big on tart food, then don't get the dowjic soup because it has a lot of lemon juice. The soup was good with bread to tame down the tartness. The food was flavorful and not overpowering with spices like Indian cuisine.

Not entirely sure how to rate this one. I stopped by with a friend because we were in the…read moreneighborhood. It is a lovely restaurant inside. Write an area yet still with a cozy feel. We were welcomed at the door and received several recommendations on the food before we even decided what we wanted. Unfortunately the highly recommended vegetarian item suggested by the host that I really wanted was not available when I went to place my order with somebody else. I ended up ordering an eggplant appetizer that was disappointing. I don't want to write the restaurant off based on one dish, but this was definitely not my favorite. I may stop again in the future. We will see. .

Wow! The reviews do not lie! Do not be fooled by the…read morelocation or decor. It is in a shopping center . It's small and unassuming restaurant. I ordered the falafel wrap for myself and chicken shawarma for my daughter. The falafel wrap was the best I've ever had in my life. The chicken was good ( I'm vegan I will never know) from what my daughter said. However, when she tasted the crumbs of my falafel wrap her eyes lit up and said I should have gotten two falafel wraps. The fries were fantastically seasoned . The service was amazing , they were so nice they even gave me extra fries. I would be a regular if it was closer. Great prices, great food!

Friendly spot with decent Somali food. Stopped in late on a Monday night. Since it was near closing…read moretime, they were out of several items. Ordered the chicken suqqar and my friend got the beef suqqar with ugali. The meats were a little dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. I asked for some of the green sauce that helped, but it would have been nice if the dishes had more flavor on their own. The spinach dish that came with the ugali had a lot of flavor, and the ugali had nice texture. It was a very cozy space and the service was friendly, but I was also overcharged for my dish (didn't notice it until I paid). I wanted to love this place, but found it only OK. I will try it one more time since they didn't have the dishes I wanted to order.

I finally took the plunge into Somali food at Mama Safia's in Minneapolis--and I'll be real, I was…read morenervous. Ok, maybe completely terrified is more accurate. I am admittedly a novice when it comes to east, west, or South African food! First time, didn't know what I was walking into. But turns out? Absolute gem. The space itself is clean, bright, and surprisingly spacious. And what came was heavy-hitting. Portions? Massive. The mango juice? Pure tropical sunshine. The goat? Tender, rich, full of flavor. The rice? Fragrant, fluffy, and this is coming from someone who's ruthless when it comes to rice standards. But the dish that stole my heart was the sambusa--crisp shell, soft pillow inside, savory meat bursting through. A perfect bite every time. Can I have a box of these to take home please?! Bottom line: Mama Safia's turned my nerves into a craving. Clean, comfortable, and food worth coming back for. Next visit, I'm bringing additional backup.

Not bad. Better than I was expecting. A few changes I would add is toasting the bun it was kinda…read moresoggy when I started eating it (maybe 4 mins after it arrived at our table). Also the fries could be cooked slightly longer to be a little crispier. The sauce was really good. The other thing that could work on is the bathrooms. They were kinda gross. Outside of that the interior was nice and the service was good. Last plus it was halal!

The service was terrible! the only time we saw any wait staff was when we came in, and when we left. the food itself, was awful. badly cooked, flavors were way off. I ordered the fish half an hour before I went and it was still late, and then it wasn't edible! it was covered in a very unsavory gravy, and almost completely raw underneath. suffice it to say, I will not be going back and will make sure to let people know how bad it was

So this place is by my house and I really wanted to like it but I ordered the Goat/Lamb Fried rice,…read morevery little meat, it was small scraps and the 2 very small pieces of goat that I think that were goat was nothing but fat very disappointed. Very little flavor! when your spending $15 and your ordering goat/lamb fried rice you expect to have good chucks of meat. I also ordered shrimp eggrolls very bland, should've ordered pork and I rather have the chili oil for dipping sauce, I spent $24 and I feel like I was ripped off especially when you can go to another Halal restaurant and get a huge container of big chucks of goat meat and rice for less money. Now im still hungry for my fix of goat meat.
