I had the steak and rice; I cut the steak with my fork, very tender. The business is mostly take out but we ate in the small dining area. Obviously word of the food and tea authenticity and flavor is getting out because it was busy.

This is a true hidden gem that there is no official Yelp page for this restaurant…read more Muna Halal is a nice alternative to Brava (currently still closed) and offers East African / Somalian cuisine for those looking for food exploration and excitement. There is a decent lunch + dinner menu ranging from rice & lamb, rice & fish, to an African sandwich. Prices are around $15 per item likely from inflation but the sheer amount of food makes up for it. Ordered - Rice & Chicken (4/5). Literally 2 pounds of rice topped with aromatic chicken drumsticks and a banana to help clean the palate. The sauce that came with it was intensely hot but complemented with the rice. A good choice for those looking for some home cooked food. I would suggest splitting this with someone due to the portion size - Sambusa (3/5). This was a-ok. It was big and fluffy but it wasn't as fresh as others that we have visited. Overall this is a nice addition to the growing, diverse food scene at Rochester.

Huge fan right here. Wanted to experience Somalian cuisine in a city that has so many of its…read moreresidents - this was definitely the place to do it (worth the drive out of downtown). Felt extremely welcomed into this restaurant, was even called sister! Dine in and take out kind of atmosphere, order at the counter food is brought over to the table. Mango juice is super sweet and addictive. Went for the CHICKEN KAYKAY as a lot of yelpers suggest, it is unlike anything I've ever tried before! I LOVED IT, such comfort food. It is made with the bread used typically in the cuisine, but the texture changes into something so different - you could even imagine it to be pasta. The flavors are so warm, mild, yet complex - I could eat this everyday. My husband got the chicken curry - the chicken was so tender - curry flavor spot on, and the portions were both HUGE! Plus you get a whole plate of rice with that. Interested in the fried options in the case at the counter, if I'm ever passing through again I'd want to try those. Plus you get a banana! Dessert, or breakfast memory the next morning. Easy parking in a strip mall.

I'm torn between rating it a 2 star or a 3, but I've decided on 3 stars for this local mom & pop…read morerestaurant. I was in Minneapolis visiting, and I noticed during my short time there that there's a large Somali community in the city. I've never had Somali food before, so I just looked up Somali restaurants with the highest ratings and the most reviews, which weren't many. The man working behind the register was incredibly nice. He saw we were trying to decide what dishes to try, and recommended the goat with rice. We went with his goat with rice recommendation and a dish call Kay Kay. However, when I was ordering at the register, there was so many flies just flying around the cashier guy and his register. Behind the serving counter, it is all boarded up so you can't see the workers cooking or how clean it is behind the counter divider. I went to the bathroom and I noticed a small random unlabeled bucket/small open bottle by the toilet that had liquid in it, which I honestly don't even know what it is. With the flies and the bathroom, I really questioned the entire restaurant's cleanliness. I told myself while I was eating that I wouldn't be surprised if I got food poisoning from here. The next day came and I actually suffered food poisoning. I don't want to knock down a hard working small family restaurant. I genuinely think their food is delicious, and the people are so kind. They just need to work on cleaning the place and getting rid of the flies.

I came here in a recommendation and the food was disappointing. It was 2pm and they did not have…read moreany food ready. I ordered the goat and rice and we'll I had better. $20 was not worth the long drive. 3pcs of meat and the rest bones. Lacked flavor and luke warm food. I'll go back and try again and see if it it's any better the next time.

Very good food with a decent variety. We had the fish a plate, chicken suquar, and a sambusa; they…read morewere all full of flavor and spice (not spicey). The plates came with a large portion of fresh, flavored rice with the fish or chicken sautéed with onion on top. The meals also came with a side of green sauce. We were greeted and felt very welcome the entire time we waited for the food (less than 10 minutes). The fish was unbelievably fresh and delicious and is highly recommended. However, the only reason we didn't give them five stars is because every table had dirty dishes and the interior could definitely use a cleaning. We will be back soon and recommending this restaurant to our coworkers!

You order at the counter and they bring to the table. I decided on a hot honey chicken sandwich. The chicken itself was good but the bun fell apart right away and the lettuce just made it slide around. The cheese curds were below par.

Service was absolutely phenomenal. Literally a mom and pop run shop. Inside is cozy-ish. When talking to the owners, they shared that majority of business is takeout. Food was stellar! Best buffalo wings, twin cities has to offer. Not pictured but the collard greens for our party was a crowd pleaser also. Will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu and update the review!

So we got whatever was left since we drove far. We got beef suqar and rice with fish sambusas and the chai tea. The rice was really good and everything else followed. The fish Sambusas weren't bad (I've always had beef or veggie so it was definitely different). I think it's worth checking out maybe when it's not Ramadan (limited menu) or maybe earlier in the day when they are serving everything.
