#somali Eats Racecourse Rd - Melbourne

Lovely restaurant with a cool vibe and great service. We sat outside and watched the hustle and bustle of Racecourse Road. Food was great and nice drink selection will come back for more

Honest authentic Somali food at reasonable prices. The food is cooked from scratch, home-style, something that always excites me. The place is frequented by first and second generation Somalis, so that's a guarantee of authenticity to me. <br/ <br/ I had the tasting platter. It has two yummy fritters,  hearty spiced rice with lamb, and a refreshing yogurt-based dessert with mango, grated coconut and walnuts. I loved everything.  The mains are man-size, so you won't leave hungry. The tasting platter is also man-sized, something that always makes my belly happy.   <br/ <br/ The staff are really friendly. <br/ <br/ Relaxed atmosphere.  <br/ <br/ I would happily give them five stars if it wasn't because some dishes were still unavailable, and on the making, after 1pm; on the other hand, is understandable as there are just a couple of ladies attending to the kitchen. <br/ <br/ I love genuine  international food eateries, and this is one of those!

First time trying Somali cuisine and while I can't comment on authencity, I can definitely say that it was delicious. Rich and punchy flavours, generous serves and great value.<br/ <br/ I love how the Somali Eats Specialty came with a banana that is supposed to be eaten with the meal. Interesting combination! My partner ordered the lamb and the tender and meaty chunks of lamb came on a bed of fragrant rice and was accompanied by a delightfully zesty green sauce.<br/ <br/ I tried the Muffo, which was corn bread paired with marinated diced beef. The corn bread resembled a softer, thicker and chewier Chinese pancake. Perfect for soaking up all that yummy sauce. I did however find the beef a bit dry and tough.<br/ <br/ So impressed were we that we took away the Somali Wrap with fish, and it was just as good the next day. The piquant flavours of the herbs and spices, when paired with the firm and moist flesh of the fish, made for a perfect match.<br/ <br/ Service was charming and friendly, and the place had a homely vibe to it. A great first time experience!

Great authentic Somali Food, i recommend it to everyone. Try it, You will love it. I certainly loved it variety of food choices. Great staff excellent customer service

They have goat, they have goat, they have goat!<br/ (Important thing like this needs to be repeated for at least three times)<br/ <br/ The strawberry smoothie is really good, full of strawberry, you can even taste the seeds.<br/ The dishes are nice and really worth the price. Very nice service, I walked in there for take away and people immediately came forward to ask if I want anything.<br/ <br/ The only thing I don't like about this place is it opens too late for me. :P
