Had the goat and rice and chicken and rice. Both were great. Goat is bone-in, chicken was not. Rice is fantastic. Sambusa were so-so. Huge portions. Owner was friendly. Would come again if we lived in the area.

Very tasty meal and great size portion. Workers were friendly and efficient in serving. I had goat meat with rice and would recommend it. Very glad we stopped here for a late lunch.

Excellent food! Great service and very reasonable prices. You won't leave hungry as portions are huge. Had the chicken saqqay. Wife had goat and rice. Rice was phenomenal! Will be back for sure!

Super yum! Even my teenage daughter loved it. And the sambusas were the best I've ever had -- exquisite. The whole meal made my day.

Great food, very friendly service. A little unconventional experience for a typical Minnesotan in St cloud but well worth the trip. Also has a nice little grocery attached with East African staples.

First time I’ve had this type of food and my group enjoyed it very much! The owner genuinely seemed excited to have us there. The rice was awesome. I really enjoyed the goat. Would also suggest the Sambusa if you don’t mind jalapeño. Will go back for sure.

Delicious, well-prepared, fresh - we ordered fish & rice, as well as goat. The rice was particularly flavorful, with slight hints of cardamom & cinnamon. Grateful for a great meal!
