  “What a wonderful restaurant serving authentic Somali food. The food is delicious, hearty and comes with generous portions. Upon arrival we were served complimentary soup which was full of flavour and delicious. For starters, we got the meat samosas which were packed with flavourful delicious meat. The spicy sauces definitely complimented them. For mains we had the platter which came with a few meat options and served with both rice and pasta along with salad etc The lamb shank is full of flavour and highly recommended. For dessert the date cake is highly recommended! Very delicious especially paired with the tea. The staff were very welcoming and friendly! Overall a fantastic dining experience and would come back.”

  “Wow. Where does one begin the story? I walked in feeling hungry and I left feeling not only full but my stomach signalling joy to me. My debut trying Somali cuisine and it won’t be my only appearance. After being introduced to the cuisine and recommendations, the food came out fresh. It could be seen that each and every single element on that plate had been handled with thought, care and gratitude. From the tender lamb, to even the rice, which was immensely flavoured, the whole meal was an unforgettable experience. I will be returning”

  “I walked 90 kilometres through all of Greater London. I started walking at 5:30AM west of Heathrow airport and it took me 25 kilometres until 11:AM until I arrived here. I didn’t want to eat anything anywhere else because I wanted to eat here. And I have to say that was the culinary highlight of my two day walk. The food was amazing, and the manager was so friendly. We had a nice conversation and he gave me the samosas to try on the house. I would love to come back again and try more of the delicious Somali food.”

  “First time eating Somali food and it was delicious! The staff were very friendly and overall a nice atmosphere. We had the sambusas which were packed with flavour and the mixed platter. The lamb was so tender and very filling. Ubah was very helpful and gave us tips on what to order and how to eat it the traditional way :)”

  “What an amazing first time Somalian food experience @ Sabib in Acton Town High Street. The food platter for sharing is worth every penny they charge for it and the service is world class, too. They've apparently got a branch in Harringey Green Lane. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys trying new cuisines👍🏻”

  “I had a great experience at Sabib Restaurant. The food arrived in good time, was served hot, and was absolutely delicious. I really appreciated the excellent service provided by Hareesh and Grace, who were both attentive and welcoming. The atmosphere was very pleasant, with calm and quiet music playing in the background, making for a relaxing dining experience. The restaurant was clean, and the toilets were also well maintained and spotless. Overall, I am a very happy customer and would definitely recommend Sabib Restaurant to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”

  “Amazing Somali Food and Atmosphere I had another great experience at Sabiib in Acton and, as always, it did not disappoint. The Somali food was excellent, full of flavour, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the desserts were just as good. Fatima served me during my visit and provided excellent customer service throughout. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and comfortable. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, with a great vibe that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal. The restaurant was also very clean and well looked after. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely a place I’ll continue coming back to.”

  “An absolute delight, we have been here twice in the last few months and really enjoyed it. The service is always kind and considerate, and the food is just incredible. We had never tried Somali food before coming here, and honestly there's nothing we didn't like. If you're stuck, go for a platter (the best of everything!) and the sticky date pudding at the end. The salmon was lovely too and they serve a very generous portion, if you prefer seafood. Highly recommended.”

  “Wow!! What an experience. From the exceptionally warm welcome, the lovely vibe and amazing food, it was all fantastic. The lady who welcomed us was genuinely pleased it was our first time. She kindly talked us through the menu. We ordered the breakfast platter for two which came with bread and tea. She kindly swapped out the kidney, and gave us two kinds of bread to try, which were both delicious. The spicy tea was so warming and hearty. It was a huge amount of food for two. There was a separate family room for comfort and we stayed in the main section which was lovely, beautiful decor. When the bill came we were given a tasty little mango sweet, how nice! We were encouraged to come back to try the lunch menu, which we are looking forward to doing. We had a lovely time. We will be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much!!”

  “Sabiib was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding and the service from Sundus was genuinely warm and welcoming. She made us feel looked after without it ever feeling forced. We had the platter for two and it was superb. The meat was exceptional, beautifully tender and full of flavour. Every element on the platter impressed us. The hummus was smooth and rich, the oodkac packed with flavour, the meat sambus crisp and satisfying, the bajiyo light and well seasoned, and the bariis isku karis absolutely spot on. The chicken mango ansalaato was a real highlight. Fresh, vibrant and perfectly balanced, it cut through the richness of the platter brilliantly. Portion sizes were very generous. We were genuinely full by the end and only just managed to consider dessert. A brilliant meal with excellent service. We will definitely be back.”
