"This Somali spot in Shepherd's Bush is a speedy dinner kind of place—the white lighting and mismatched dining chairs hint at that. It’s usually half-filled by friends looking for a quick fix when they’re on a budget, or a hungry phone-scroller perching on a chair while waiting for their takeaway. The mandi—tender lamb shoulder covered in caramelised onions, potatoes, and peppers—is an excellent solo choice at Banaadiri." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
