Brava Restaurant & Cafe — Restaurant in Rochester

Place just reopened recently after renovation and it was spectacular!!! They’re still fixing up some grill issues so some foods weren’t available but the kind service and food made up for it! Food may take a while to cook but I it’s one or two people doing everything and they do make it fresh to order and make it with care!

Ordered the family rice meal with a mix of all the meats for $35. May I say it’s the best deal ever?? Flavors were very good and they gave sooo much rice, we took it home and ate it for like 4 separate meals cuz there was that much rice left which was so flavorful already. Also their Somali tea is fantastic! You can opt for it with or without milk and it’s definitely a tea I’ll crave. The sambusas were very delicious too, they tasted very similar to fried dumplings!

Overall, a very nice local establishment with even more amazing staff!! Please give...

What a delight. It's always refreshing to get fresh tasty food from a super friendly and welcoming restaurant owner.

The owner said the sauce was a brava secret recipe. It tastes kind of sweet and had a lemongrass ring to it.

All the food was prepared and served hot. And the owner gave us a special hot tea that was creamy goodness. I'm sad I hadn't been here sooner because it just might be my...

This food was amazing! I could eat it every day. The inside of the restaurant is very plain but it is clean and the food should be the main focus anyway. The owners were gracious and friendly, service was quick and the flavors of everything were unique. We had the #8, #12 and #13 with goat. Our favorite was the #8, and #12 (Sambusas! Hot and flakey goodness). If you get goat, just know it's very fatty meat, but so delicious. Best food we've had in a long time. The green sauce is VERY spicy but goes so well with everything. The complementary hot Somali tea with our meal was delicious and a nice surprise. I think we might actually go back tomorrow before we...
