    Tawakal Restaurant - Goat meat with rice

    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.

We ordered a meat/chicken rice platter, philly sandwich with fries. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Alhamdullilah.

I got Iyan with Efo Riro, and it was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever tasted. It arrived hot and very fresh. So rich and full of flavor! The portion size was great for me, I was so full and satisfied. My mouth watered after every bite. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

It's a small carryout only spot. The woman working there was very nice and accommodating. I informed her that I'm vegan and inquired about a few of my favorite Nigerian foods: egusi, greens, jollof, and beans. She didn't have egusi. She stated that she had greens but they're made with fish. She then offered to make me a fresh batch sans the fish if I had time to wait. I most certainly do! It wasn't a long wait either. I got a hefty container of food for about $15. There was enough food for 2 days (if I wasn't being greedy). I tried my food right away. The greens were very good and clearly freshly made with quality produce. The beans were good. The jollof rice was SLAMMIN!! Perfection in the flavor department! I'm unsure how long they've been open, but they seem fairly new. They're located in a strip mall with other small, locally owned businesses. Again, it's carryout only; you cannot sit in and eat. (I ate in my car.) They also offer catering services. Be sure to check out this spot if you're in the MSP area.
