"As you walk into Banadir Somali in Inglewood, you’ll realize quickly that you aren’t just eating at a restaurant, you’re experiencing life inside a bona fide community center, where everyone from the neighborhood congregates on a daily basis. The fact they’re also serving some of the best Somali food in LA is merely a reason to always show up hungry. Banadir has a super-small menu of breakfast and lunch/dinner options, but if you arrive around 11am, you’ll be able to order from both sides of the menu. Our favorite dishes are the goat and rice, ful (a hearty bean stew), and as much anjero - a slightly sweet, crepe-like bread - as we can get our hands on." - brant cox
