We went there with the hope that we would have some good halal food after 14hr long journey. Sadly, in the google map it says it is open by 10 am in the morning of Saturday. But the lady in the shop said it is not opened. They should update their time.
Phenomenal neighborhood restaurant. Full of African locals and Uber drivers at all hours, but everyone is welcome. Meals are halal, most popular items are the meat dishes that come with rice and salad. The lamb shank is huge and delicious. Some people come for the strong, sugary teas, coffees, and a roll only. Family-owned and operated, owner is always helpful if you have questions with their style of food. Been bringing people since 2014 and it's never disappointed. Double check hours during Ramadan, as sometimes the dine-in hours change and they only sell to-go.
I went here with friends. I wouldn’t really call this Middle Eastern cuisine. The spice level is less than mild. The food (goat cubes, lamb, chicken biryani, samboosas) also came out astonishingly fast, a sign that it was reheated. One of my friends said the chai was fantastic though. The restaurant was very community oriented- I’d come here again for the vibe, but not the food. The staff was very pleasant and polite. Something to take note of is that all of the patrons seemed to only have chai and not food. If you want something strong, spicy, and fresh at 7 pm, go to Nachlo- they also make homemade mango lassis. Their dishes are also $15 compared to the $20 here.
The food they had was marvelous, and the service was great. They didn't have falafel, but they took our falafel order anyway. When it didn't come, we asked and then were told they didn't have any.
It was Ramadan so they had a limited lunch menu. I ordered the Chicken Kabob with rice and it was soooo good and you get so much of it. I will definitely have left overs for lunch tomorrow.
A restaurant that serves halal and tasty Somali style foods. I had the Lamb Biryani and it was so delicious and the portion was huge. Very kind staffs, genuine and warm atmosphere.
Barakallah!
Barakallah!
Their food taste African and delicious. I visit the area during convention, searched African restaurant near me & Ashur came out. I went to Ashur each day 12mins drive based on the positive online reviews & it was good. I tried the goat meat, lamp & chicken all taste good👌.You may be a bit discouraged by the environment but the food tastes good.
Halal restaurant. $26 for one big sharable plate for 2 people. There wasn't much lamb meat on our plate compared to other reviews. It was a late dinner w arrival at 9.30pm but spices were spot on and rice good too, with exotic sodas like french orangina, uk vimto and Shani soda in arabic.
