African Paradise

Owner is very nice throughout the whole dining experience. We ordered the goat / chicken platter. Throughout the dining experience we had plenty of pineapple juice refills as we could not stop drinking the wonderful juice! While not being an expert on Somalian cuisine, I can certainly say I enjoyed the food greatly and hope to go back some day.

Had chicken with rice and chicken shawarma, which was chicken strips wrapped in a huge paratha style bread. Two of us and my 3 yr old were able to fill up on the chicken with rice dish, as Somalian cuisine is generally large. Left the shawarma wrap for next day and it was quite tasty. Jug of juice + Banana, as customary. Will return if ever get a chance!

The food is very delicious and service is warm and friendly. The rice is so tasty that you can eat just like that. Price is very competitive.

yes, food is great but it is not clean sorry to say...

Alhamdulillah! Their food is excellent. And worth every penny. Especially the African Family Plate. It feeds 2 people for $15. My kids love the beef kalankel and the jabati is always hot, fresh and delicious. comes with soup. all meals come with salad, drink and banana. I like that they have a separate section for women/families to eat. The portions are huge and the staff is very friendly. Masha'Allah

The food was good, but the place is nasty and filthy. It was so dirty that we could not enjoy our food. If I have to eat there again, I'll just take it go. But then, if they are so dirty on the outside, God knows what goes on in the kitchen!

Authentic Somalian food in a predominantly male Somalian neignborhood. Rice with chicken (boneless) was good. Comes with soup, salad, and some home made drink. Don't come for the ambiance though.

Yummyyyyyyyy! I love their Goat mean & Rise

Excellent, fresh food and large menu. Open for breakfast, as well. The food should appeal to all ethnicities, no doubt. The portions are very large, and pricing is under $10. Will go back soon.

The food is good and they serve big portions for less preice. I really like it . You can find the halal meat and grocery within the same shopping area.

I have been there, boy the food is good and the price you just can't beat that any where.

Had eaten here regularly for a couple of years before leaving Ohio. The serving sizes are enormous and the dishes are very popular with Indians/Pakis because of their similarities. The chicken kalankal (chkn cut in very small pieces) with rice is the best dish. The place is not professional-looking but you can have a good informal time there. There is a separate family section in the back. $7 for an entree with rice/bread, drink, and banana.

We had our Wednesday dinner. Ordered Lamb shank with rice. Beefsteak and rice. Food is okay but needs more improvement. Comes with soup and banana. Service is slow and not expect much. Table was sticky and floor has food waste. Restroom was clean.
