Somali Cafe and Restaurant — Restaurant in St. Cloud

I have been here 3 times in total. The first time , I ordered chicken and rice. It was really good and great service. The second time I went I purchased a few things from the grocery store that is connected to the restaurant. The bread (injera) was somewhat hard. I also purchased an Ethiopian spice (Berbere). The cashier went to the back for 5 minutes and came back with the spice. It was hard and in big chunks instead of the normal finely ground consistency. I was very disappointed because I am new to the area and I don't know where to go to get those items. I decided to give them another chance and went today. The server was very friendly and prompt. After receiving my food, he opened the container to show me my order. I did a quick glance over to make sure my order was correct. I ordered injera (Ethiopian bread) and chicken suquar (chicken curry). When I got home, I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I quickly noticed there was about a half a cup of raw onions and green peppers sliced on top. I also noticed the curry sauce was on the side and was not cooked long enough. The curry sauce is cooked with tomatoe paste, berbere sauce, and onions. The tomatoe paste still tasted raw and I tasted no onion flavor. When I thought I couldn't be no longer disappointed, I noticed there was a huge portion of injera under the chicken to make it appear full. After taking out all the injera, there was only a cup of chicken. I have eaten this dish at multiple Somali restaurants, but this one by far was the only one where the veggies weren't cooked, sauce wasn't fully cooked, and the portions were under filled. I feel completely ripped off, and I will never visit this...

I ordered rise and goat meat and when I reached home, found a fly in the food and when I tried calling to let know the phone never got picked up until it went to voicemail. And guess what I had visitors who were coming and wanted to serve them that food. Had to go back and claim for refund and the owner was like “we can’t refund only can give you food!” Since the food was from same pot why would I get the same thing.. had to leave and call my bank.. Wouldn’t even send my worst enemy here.. go here if you don’t care...

I had an exceptional experience! The service was outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making me feel right at home. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of the products offered. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. I can't wait...
