Having had good Somali food in SLC, I was excited to discover Somali cuisine in San Diego. Upon a Google/Yelp search, a couple of Somali restaurants came up in the area. We were looking for a place that was open for dine in, and not all the restaurants updated their information online. I called a couple of them and was surprised to find out that some of them weren’t open for months, while they claimed to be open online. This was one of the few that were opened and had dine in with good reviews. The restaurant is located in a strip plaza amongst many other restaurants and shops. It can be considered a “hole in the wall”, with a couple of diner style tables and benches. As the interior felt cramped, we decided to sit outside as there were a couple of tables and chairs for outside dining. As per their recommendations, we ordered the combination plate of tandoori chicken and goat meat with half rice and half spaghetti. The other plate was the chicken soukar with rice. Both plates came with salad. They were out of the mango house drink, so we tried the watermelon and berry house drink. The food was delicious as expected. I really liked how tender and juicy the goat meat was, and the flavorful tandoori chicken; better than some Indian places, and that’s their specialty. The pasta and rice paired well with the meat, and the green (hot) sauce was absolutely amazing. Somali green sauce is the bomb! I have to make it one day, it’s so good! The chicken soukar was like grilled chicken; it wasn’t bad, but I had better. The watermelon house drink was way too sweet, and the berry tasted too diluted. Although the place needs some cosmetic touches to it, it shouldn’t deter you away from trying the food. My experiences with hole in the wall places were rather well, as they usually compensate with amazing food. I haven’t tried the other meats, but I recommend the goat meat. We’ll stop by to try their other menu items if we’re ever in the area.

Hands down the best Somalian food in San Diego! The Lamb Shanks Royale and Goat Royale are two of my family's favorites here. Tender meat, great value for money, and good customer service. The food was so good, we did not get the chance to take photos of our plates.
