"A Roxbury staple opened in 2007 by Abdullah Ashur and run in the dining room by his brother Ali, this compact Somali restaurant posts its daily offerings on a dry-erase board instead of printed menus; Ali has said that dining there can feel like being in a city in Somalia. The kitchen’s specialties are braised lamb and a standout lamb shank, and meals are traditionally finished with a warming Somali chai." - Terrence Doyle
