Somali African Safari Restaurant — Restaurant in Amarillo

I am rating this place for food quality and service. The building looks a bit beat up; it's not on the beaten path if you are traveling along I-40; and it's not fast food. But this just means they have to make up for this with flavor--and they do. I had the rice and goat meat. It sounds plain but it was full of flavor. The meat was tender. The rice I believe was Basmati and infused with flavors from the meat and other flavors I don't know how to identify. There were a few vegetables on the side, which give more of a crunchy texture if you choose. They also had some bananas for the kids, who loved the rice but not the meat. This dish is not spicy by itself, though they do have hot sauce if you are into that. Finally, we also had a wonderful bowl of soup. I don't even know what it was besides delicious. If good food full of flavor but not overpowering is what you are looking for, you should skip the Big Texan and stop by Somali...

This is not an acceptable behavior at all! Or she has to put on a sign says “Somali only” if that is the case.

After I wrote the above comment, I tried to check some of the comments other people gave and I found out other non-Somali people are also refused to get the service and treated badly. This might be a potential act of discrimination and it has to be...

For $20 we received all of this wonderful food that was seasoned to perfection. How could it not disappear? Granted, I am stuffed! The spaghetti is slightly spicy - not tomatoey, which was not only really good, but paired with the chicken it had a perfect flavor. We were also bought a slightly spicy sauce to add to the chicken. So good. The meat dish we ate using the bread as a sort of wrap. Tear off a piece and pinch up some meat. Here too, amazing flavor. I am looking forward...
