NGONGE Posted July 9, 2004 Good news, good news, I hear a Masri guy has opened a coffee shop in Upton Park with sheesha and all the other bits. His partner is Somali (actually both his partners are - his wife is Somali and his business partner is Somali too). I hear it's the best place in town.

Valenteenah. Posted July 14, 2004 Tweety: ^^Aha! I’ve heard good things about that place. I was even looking forward to deining there. Then, I was told that it is a Farax ting. ^^ Hey, thats just crap! I thought it was going to be a unisex kinda place? Shujui...let the management know we aint happy! *Scowls* :mad: Jumatatu, Tell me about the Harlesden restaurant...I havent heard of it b4. When was it opened? Is it xaliimo-friendly? And most importantly, how varied and delish is the dessert menu? I gotta agree with Tweety and Juxa here... Oceans in Haringey is by far the best when it comes to food. The bariis/busketi combo makes me go cross-eyed everytime. And lets not mention their timir-cake, or I will be forced to drool all over my keyboard! Come to think of it, tis been a while since my last visit. Hmmmm... Hint, hint. I havent been to the Sheperds Bush one yet as I dont find myself in West London often. Iman...is aight I suppose. Fab interior, but I wasnt too happy wiv my suqaar the last time I went there. And that's basically it. I'm happy that Somali restaurants are evolving, however slowly, and am sure it wont be long before we get a world-class establishment in London, Insha'Allah. *Goes off to raid the fridge* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumatatu Posted July 14, 2004 Tell me about the Harlesden restaurant...I havent heard of it b4. When was it opened? Is it xaliimo-friendly? And most importantly, how varied and delish is the dessert menu? It has been opened for the last four months I think...and if there is anything that is Xalimo friendly then it has to be it.....I suggest you pop in there..am sure u will like it if u i liked Ocean in Haringay.

AYOUB Posted July 14, 2004 Ngonge: I’m yet to see a Somali restaurant that I could class as being the best (best of a bad bunch, maybe!). Ngonge saxiib why don't you try Golis Restaurant in Wembley. I hear they can give 10% off if you can prove your Burco roots claims . Qaxootis let me ask you this, how much are you prepared to pay for a really nice meal for two in a classy place?

Gediid Posted July 15, 2004 We don't have Somali restuarants in this part of the country but I have seen a few in Ohio.One was even named Darbo(muxuu darbeeynaa I dont know)but the food was truely a Darbo and a half.If I remember correctly the place had 2 or three tables and the only thing I remember about the place other than the good food were the Xalimos,a few were wearing outfits that said Ice cream and Delicious on their rear end.Unfair so maaha ,when you consider the fact that the resturant dont serve it.

Mshamba...! why look for wat the restaurant is offering when you have it right there infront of you...all you had to ask was..whether it is available in cones or cup...though either will be delicious Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking Posted July 15, 2004 Ocean restaurant in north London does indeed have good food. I hope they don't bring in satelite TV like the people of IMAN did. You have Al-Jazeera blasting in the evenings and it's now more a joint for akhbar and shah; like every other Somali joint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
