EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Shahzad ChoudhryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best spots in Hounslow for authentic Somali 🇸🇴 cuisine. The lamb shank is particularly outstanding—well-marinated, tender, and melts in your mouth, paired perfectly with flavorful rice and a spicy green chili sauce. Meals come with a complimentary soup, making the experience even better. While the place isn’t fine dining and more suited for takeaways, I truly enjoy eating there. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming.
