"Chef Safia Munye called for justice for George Floyd after her restaurant burned down during the unrest of summer 2020 — with the help of a community fundraising campaign, she reopened it at a new Lake Street location. Here, Munye dishes up the same flavor-packed Somali cuisine she always has: beef sambusas; tender lamb and goat stew; chicken suqaar with ugali (a pillowy cornmeal dish served on the side) or beef with canjeero (fermented, crepe-like Somali pancakes). Italian influences appear in the form of lightly sauced pasta with fish; fresh juices are served at the counter." - Eater Staff
