Roasted Goat Cutlet with Rice

Great food!! As an indian, my admiration for somalian/east african cuisine has gone up. We’ve ordered the roasted goat cutlet with Rice, chicken suqar with pasta, mandazi, sambusa, beef wrap.

Chicken Wrap

Super fresh try for African food for me, but it definitely surprising me for sure. Chicken wrap and roasted goat cutlet are the best. Highly recommend

Is there outdoor seating?

Yes, there's a good amount of outdoor tables and seats outside the restaurant.

Does this place have restrooms?

Yes, they have them in the back.

Is there parking?

Plenty of parking...it's part of the light rail parking lot.

Is anything on the menu not spicy? Is there a kid friendly dish?

Kay Kay is nonspicy, for sure, and MIGHT be kid friendly? They can choose their preferred protein and might have fun with the chapatti (flatbread) cooked in. The chunks of chapatti are covered in sauce and remains chewy without being immediately soggy.
