"Golden fried sambusas, piquant chicken suqqar or a crema drizzled Ke’y Ke’y, just follow the enticing aromas to this stand." - Alex Lodner

Really good tasting food unfortunately it's not quite Somali. More like Fusion food

Very good food and reasonable prices. I love getting their samosas on the go. The staff are very friendly!

I work nearby and never been til today, my friend at work always brings some to my work and that's when I fell in love with it. Today I tried it on my own, I had mango chicken curry with rice and a salad on the side that came with it, and 2 sambusas with a sparkling grapefruit drink. The food was insane good. Could not post a pic because I ate it too fast, I will next time though. Grapefruit drink was gross since there was no sugar in it. I love this place! P.S. After eating here, I don't want to transfer my job to another city. We'll see.

Got their tumeric rice bowl with the lamb meat and it was incredible. Lots of flavor and the meat was really tender. Sambusa on the other hand had clearly been sitting in the warmer too long so was dry and soggy, but the flavor of the meat was really good. If fresh, I'm sure it would have been excellent. Would definitely recommend!

Trying to be more adventurous than I usually am, I stopped by this booth. The guy working behind the counter was really friendly and suggested a few things, but I opted for a chicken wrap they make fresh to order. And although it's just a chicken wrap, oh my goodness it is DELICIOUS! Piping hot with fresh vegetables and a delicious sauce. Price was comparable to the other booths. Thank you for the great food! I'll be back.

The food is excellent. Try the Camel Burger, it is a delicate meat that tastes just right. Chappatis and Chicken Fantastic is also a great. Sit down and talk with some folks, it is always a nice place to meet someone new. I have been going to this restaurant years and it keeps getting better!

This place is delicious! The service was friendly and she even offered me samples. I got the camel burger which was very tasty, the fries were crispy and delicious too. This is my new favorite restaurant at the Midtown Global Market.

The chef himself recommended a camel burger with mango juice, and sambusa, a Somali pastry. The staff were very friendly and kind, and the meal was delicious. I highly recommend!
