Hoyo's Kitchen — Restaurant in Columbus

My brother and I went to North Market for lunch a few days ago and walked around to find food. After looking at all the options, we both selected Hoyo's Kitchen as looking the best for the day.

This place has a pretty standard rice bowl setup, so you select a grain/base, select a meat (from a few kinds of chicken of varying spice levels, beef, and goat), (you can do half-and-half, though they charge you for the more expensive one), two veggies (from chickpeas, lentils, cabbage, and spinach), then salad veggies as toppings (onions, lettuce, cucumbers, purple cabbage, etc), as well as some sauce and hot sauce options. There are also drinks. It takes about 3 minutes from when you start ordering until you have your food.

I can certainly imagine returning to this place, though I would also probably try other places in North...

Hoyo's Kitchen, nestled in Columbus' North Market downtown, is a gem offering a taste of Somali cuisine that deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. The ambiance, while tight due to the bustling market environment, does not detract from the overall experience. The staff shines with politeness and helpfulness, eagerly sharing insights into the menu, like the pronunciation of sukaar, a must-try spicy dish.

Hoyo's Kitchen not only feeds the body but also educates the palate on the rich flavors of...

I came out of town specially for this place. Heard about it from my husband who came here few times and really wanted to try it.

Unfortunately, the whole north market place is closed! No number to call. No announced working hours. Nothing It was very frustrating to drive over 25 min from my hotel to this place and find it closed with no response.

Would you please put a phone number and working hours on your google maps location so no one has to experience this again?

Update: came here again and tried it! It is AMAZING! Their chicken mango -I think it’s called that- is to die for! Juicy, tender and rich in flavor. It’s a must. I also tried the spicy chicken and beef suqaar all was great! They also sell the chili sauce to go home. Take the green one u will not regret it! It takes ur food to another level. Definitely...
