Sahara Cafe Somali Cuisine

DELISH!! Worth the wait. So flavorful. Get rice instead of noodles. I got the sahara special which checked all the boxes. They made us feel welcome even though there was obviously huge cultural/religious differences between us, which is what I've been looking for in a somali or ethiopian restaurant! Definitely coming back.

This restaurant is a very humble restaurant (very small and not lavish). The food and customer service totally makes up for it. We were in town for a soccer tournament. We were in a rush since my daughter had back to back games.. The owner was very kind and gave my daughter a banana and a water for her game. We also had a great chat about family.. The food was amazing as well. My daughter got the chicken and rice (she loved every bite of it) I fell in love with the hot sauce and the tea. We are definitely coming back whenever we are in town.

Amazing food at VERY affordable prices. - The baked fish tilapia is just amazing - best fish I've eaten in my life. - The $40 family platter is enough food to feed 4-5 adults - Everything was delicious, well-flavoured, and fresh ingredients - Store owner was very punctual (food was ready earlier than promised) and friendly, and kept everything ready for us (including sauces etc.) because he knew we were traveling Highly recommend to anyone in the area, will definitely try to come back here again
