“Really enjoyed our visit to Hayber Restaurant. Ahmed and Omar were fantastic and made us feel really welcome. The food was amazing and we went for the 4-person platter with lamb Hanid plus chicken and beef steak. There was plenty of food for everyone and at just £50 between four, it was fantastic value for money. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for great food, generous portions and friendly service.”

Customer Review Summary
Lamb is the draw for most reviewers, from the very tender lamb hanid to lamb shank with rice, where the flavours of lamb and rice are said to complement each other. Beef steak, described as well marinated, and beef suqaar with spaghetti come close behind, and one reviewer also praises a starter soup with a bit of spice. Several note generous, filling portions, with a four-person platter of lamb hanid, chicken and beef steak leaving plenty for everyone. First-time Somali diners describe the food as well seasoned, neither bland nor too spicy. Staff are called friendly even when the restaurant was busy, though one reviewer calls the atmosphere loud. On the downside, one reviewer found the blue mocktail tasted like nothing, and another says parking on the side road is scarce. The timir cake and date cake earn praise, and one reviewer says the owner told them the timir cake is baked in house.
