  “I’m an East African, and I rate the Somali food here as 10/10 . The waiter Saddam was really nice to me. Even though I never met him previously, He treated me like as if I am his best friend, gave me special attention, and we even had conversations together. I will definitely come here again.”

  “Had my last solo dinner in East London at this very highly reviewed Somalian restaurant and could immediately tell I made the right choice. Hard to go wrong with a lamb shoulder, the meat was so tender and well flavored. The soup was a perfect starter, and the mountain of rice paired perfectly with the meat and veggies! I loved the rice and wish I had more time to check out other dishes on the menu!”

  “I love Somalian cuisine and have gone to a number of Somalian restaurants, including Al-Kahf, Damal, Nawrish and Janna Cafe and decided to try this one today due to exceptional Google reviews. I went to this place with the intention that if it is that good, I will make it my regular go-to place for Somalian food. Unfortunately, it was an awful experience. The food was below par and by far the worst amongst the Somalian restaurants I've mentioned above. I went with my family and when I entered it was absolutely empty at around 4.30pm on a bank holiday. I ordered the Family Platter and the prices on the menu weren't the correct prices as they were £3 more than advertised. The food was shocking. Although the portions were generous, the taste of the chicken (which had chicken hairs still on the skin) was tasteless and not cooked properly. The rice and pasta was bland. I had to bring half the food home as takeaway as I couldn't get myself to throw it in the bin. The sauces that they gave looked used as if they've just passed it to me after someone had used it. I'm amazed as to how this restaurant managed to get over 1k reviews with 5/5 ratings. I definitely won't be going back there again.”

  “Amazing Somali food! The flavours are rich and comforting, and the portions are very generous. Everything we tried was delicious and clearly freshly prepared. The service was also excellent — friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the lamb shoulder: incredibly tender, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. Definitely a place I’d come back to.”

  “I recently visited Las Restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely amazing — full of flavor and perfectly prepared. I also want to give a special mention to Saddam, the waiter who served us. He was very helpful, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. His friendly attitude made the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place for great food and outstanding service!”

  “This was a fantastic find in Leyton and true to the 5* rating that it has on Google! The restaurant often seems empty and quiet but don't let that put you off! The portions are massive and the taste of the food is also great with some complimentary dishes as well. The server was very friendly and suggested a few dishes for us to try since we were not used to this kind of food. Between two, we ordered the salmon dish with rice and beef suqaar with pasta, andnan extra side of chapati. First we were given some complimentary banana and a soup which was delicious. This was followed by our mains where the beef and salmon respectively came in one dish with salad and some cooked, flavoured potatoes & onions/carrots, and then the side of pasta & rice came in a whole different big plate altogether so the portions were plentiful. The mains were both very flavourful and delicious and the sides on their own also had plenty of flavour. The pasta which we liked in particular had a slightly creamy tomato taste which was absolutely delicious on its own. The chapati which was recommended to us was also a bit different to the Indian chapatis we'd had before and had a nice, slightly sweet taste. It was warm, slightly flaky and great to scoop up any juices from the plate. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I am looking forward to returning again.”
