Khadija's Express cafe

I got one thing: homemade samosas with fish in them. Guy on the phone was like, "Are you sure? We only have fish left." These were the most delicious samosas of all time!!!

great food and large portions for a decent price! They have no menus, but the guy at the front was very nice and let us know what they had. My friend had the lamb plate on his recommendation and the meat was very tender- fell right off the bone. I had the beef kebab which was tasty as well. He gave us some hot tea to go for free as we were leaving which was great as it was chilly out. definitely a great spot for Somali food in Roxbury 🙂

Awesome food and taste.try it worth it really

The food is ok--not great, but good enough and its cheap. My issue with this place is the lack of basic professionalism. The staff are cold, slow, and prone to ignoring customers. Their posted business hours are incorrect. As others have noted, there's also issues with how well the place is maintained. The options for Somali food in Boston are limited so this place has a captive customer base to an extent, but I personally will not be going back. I don't need to spend my money at a place where they feel totally comfortable ignoring you when you're waiting at the counter to pay.

Great restaurant with authentic taste and vibes. This is the spot the local Somalis go to eat GOOD FOOD first and foremost. This is the epitome of mom and pop shop. All food is made to order fresh. Oh and did I mention that they have the best Halwa (Somali dessert treat) rivaling the infamous Halwa Kismayo from Minnesota.

I had a late lunch today and it was fantastic. They offer a plate dubbed "The Federation". I won't spoil it but it is my favorite. The spiced tea is one that would bring the Maharajah to tears. Grab a cup anytime, it will bring life to you.....-> update, it's even better now!

Atmosphere might be off but the smell of food and the actual food was amazing. Lamb shoulder and rice made me think this is a gem that needs to be discovered.

This place was so good the workers were really nice and the food was amazing.

BEST Authentic Somali food I've had in Boston the rice and chicken platter was amazing and also had got the chapati taco with steak 10/10!!!!
