Wow, first off. Let me just give a special thanks to the cook & my server. I'm confident anyone not custom to Somalian cuisine will regret not trying this place.
The food didn't arrive fast as I'd have liked, just finished a pre roll from a dispensary. However, let me tell you. Was I ever blown away by the quality, quantity, presentation, flavor profile and the overall enjoyment I had devouring the Chicken Steak. Purchased a platter which I anticipated on having a bit of everything and taking most home.
Couldn't even do that, one bite of the chicken steak and I was stuffing my face more ignorant of table manners than I've ever known. Even the staff thought the spice from their incredible hot sauce was a bit much for me. Nope, their hot sauce overtook Sriracha as my number one favorite. Mostly custom to Indian cuisine myself I'm no stranger to spice. I was literally stuffing my face to the point I was choking. This meal was so good. Potentially, it could be deadly, eat with extreme caution. 😆
I was so stuffed I couldn't even finish a meal that could compete with Michelin Star restaurants I've been. I'm sure fancy titles, expensive decor and strict protocols won't be a thought in mind after one bite.
I felt on my way home I wouldn't be able to eat the food I packed up until the following day. On route back to London my stomach settled. My father greeted me and tried a 4 person platter that would feed 6 easily and I ended up eating two additional containers the same day. I know this review is pretty extensive and that's just how I needed to illustrate this cuisine. Mind blown. Somalian food has put the country on my bucket list of places to see. Have an open mind, enjoy 😉
Also, Canadians with an appetite for spice will love the heat and flavor profile of their in house made hot sauce. I literally tried to buy the sauce on the table. I was absolutely floored and honored, so thankful I was mistaken by the title associating to Juba, South Sudan 🇸🇸 and desiring to try that food as I've been honored to meet many wonderful Dinka people of Sudan.
I found a needle in a haystack & I hope this food will be shared and enjoyed by many. Canada, multiculturally proud to celebrate 🍾 and enjoy our...
