Somali Restaurant Mandeq

A pop and mom restaurant, the owner is doing his best to make authentic food from his country. Pretty passionate, but we can see him starting to get tired.

The food was surprisingly Good ! Very tasteful.

A very simple restaurant, perhaps needs a touch of decoration.

The total of the meal including the drink cost me 18$+ 2$ tips=20$ Lamb has never being cheap.

The lamb was indeed super tender.
But some bones were found inside the meat. If only the one execution process was cleaner it wouldn’t have happen.

Will probably try chicken or beef next time.

They do take out as well, the take out plates seems pretty legit.

Food was excellent served by a group of young sophisticated adults quickly. Excellent modernized Somalian food served by a great chef in the back. Would highly recommend and share with people for the great food and dining experience. Look for Hersi when you go and tell him Neal sent you. Great restaurant and service. 5/5

Good food, quick service. Limited menu but the lamb and chicken dishes (and the beef samosas) were enjoyable. No homemade cake available the day we went but we plan to go back.

I loved everything I ate there. The lamb was tender, juicy and falls apart. You don't even need a knife. The rice was very fragrant and with a perfect amount of spices and not oily. The salad was refreshing and complimented the entire dish. I loved the sambusas. I ordered the beef one it was well seasoned with some veggies inside. They were juicy and the dough was perfect thickness. Not too doughy and thick. The service was very cordial and welcoming. The ambience is very casual not fancy but it was comfortable.

Delicious, authentic and well priced. A beautiful, family owned venture with a great future. I am so glad to find some of my culture in this city so my friends and I can enjoy.
