Madina restaurant

First time eating Somali food, it was different in a good way. I ordered the "KK with Chicken Steak". The meal started off with a small cup of soup, which was very savory, made from goat meat drippings, had a vegetable (leek?) of some sort, and seasoned with what I guess to be oregano and curry. Rich, savory and satisfying. The KK with Chicken Steak was tasty... seasoned with curry, onion and a little green pepper. I was given two types of hot sauce, both had a moderate amount of heat with a citrusy edge. The hotter of the two added a depth to the KK that I didn't expect. The portions are large, almost enough for two people. The food is fresh, so don't expect to get in and out in 30 minutes. I will definitely go back, there were a few meals on the menu that I want to try. If you're in the area and want to try something different, I recommend you give Madina a try.

This place is really wonderful. I dined with 3 companions and all 4 of our dishes were excellent. I ordered the KK with chicken, my husband ordered KK with steak, my friend ordered chapattis with beef sugar, and my 4th friend couldn't decide so our server said he'd pick for her. Our meals started with an aromatic brothy soup, followed by Somali coffee which is fragrant with cardamom, an orange drink, fresh bananas, and then finished off with a delightful mango pudding mixed with fruit. My friend's surprise meal came with 2 large and super puffy breads that were delicious with the hot sauce that was on the table. Every meal was bursting with flavor and was enough to feed 2-3 people. $18 per person. And when we were paying, our server bypassed the tip screen, but we just tipped him with cash. He was very attentive and friendly. We would definitely dine here again and highly recommend it to everyone we know.

The best food East Africa food, absolutely delicious, All timing Dinner Lunch and breakfast, different Menu options, I visited with my friends we had the best dinner, never forget, and every time I pulled up to the city first thing I think about food Is going to This place 😃🤗

Food absolutely delicious, service friendly and prompt, portions huge. What a great experience! First time having samolli food and it won't be the last. Highly recommend

I am glad you chose to see why I gave this place 3 stars. I am not familiar with Somalian or East African, food, culture and people. Glad I had the unique opportunity to be in the USA and still experience samples of other cultures. Quick reminder before you interact with other cultures foe. Practice patience. This place confuses me. For so many reasons. It’s hard to find. Parking lot is a disaster and when you try to get in line it’s confusing because the menu is confusing and there are people everywhere. I was so confused. When you finally get to the menu. Nothing looks familiar. I didnt know what I did or did not like so it made it difficult to make a decison. I used everything I know to make the best guess based off what I thought I liked and what kind of sounds familiar. Scary but okay. Noone is sure about everything. I am not sure about anything anymore. Based off of a picture with no prices. It’s hard to compare the value of each. The person at the register will only say the price of the dish you ask but wont tell you what the cheepest dish is…Weird. The wraps on the bottom right are easy comfortable dishes for under $10 but don’t capture the essence of why you come to a place like this. I would try anything you can dip that beautiful bread into. If your willing to travel 1,000s of miles to experience culture. A quick trip in your backyard is fine. To make it simple. If your curious to try some delicious food outside of your comfort. The food here is really good and they have some special secret green sauce. 3 stars, it’s not for everyone. Like most things.

I ordered the Hilib Ari through door dash. The food was delicious! It's seasoned and cooked goat with cooked and raw onions with basmati rice. If you like unique flavors give them a try!

Interesting food to say the least. I think eating there would be better but take out was a little messy. The boat was great but the bones were a trial. The chicken was great as well. Overall I would say stop in and eat there. It will be a better experience.
