Safari - New York

I tried Somali food for the first time and we'll definitely return. We came for breakfast but plan to sample the larger main courses for dinner next time. The sambosas and spiced tea with goat milk were standout dishes. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and expertly spiced!

This may be a small, unassuming restaurant, but the food is incredibly delicious. I visited with my parents, who are usually quite picky about restaurant food, and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals here. As vegetarians, we ordered the sambusas, a vegan wrap, and the mango veggie curry. Everything was bursting with flavor and tasted fantastic. The tea was excellent as well.

Really outstanding vegetarian food. We had the vegetarian sambusas and sabaayad and even my husband, a total carnivore, fell in love. The mango curry chicken was also good. The grapefruit juice was delicious. Sorry I forgot to take the picture until afterwe dove in!

I also dined here for breakfast and enjoyed the Qaxwo (coffee) along with Malab iyo Malawax (crepes). The coffee was excellent, infused with ginger and possibly cardamom and cinnamon. The crepe was tasty as well, especially with the syrup drizzled with cinnamon. The atmosphere is laid-back and cozy, with a clean setting and music playing softly in the background. The service was good too. I will definitely return to try more items from their halal menu!

First time trying Somalian food. Mango curry veggie was delicious and so was the hibiscus juice drink. There was one gentleman taking orders, waiting on tables, and preparing food but he was very nice, quick, and efficient. Would recommend if you?ve neverhad Somalian food and would like an introduction to it!
