Reviews for Amina’s African Sambusas in Boise, ID
I wish we took pictures but we didn?t? this is our first time having African food and it was great! Firstly, the worker is... friendly and helpful. We got a chicken and rice and a lamb sambusa. The food is so flavorful and tasty. I love the spices and Ilove to explore more of their cuisine once I can visit again. Read more

First, you wait for good food a little while. Very worth it. Food made with love. Flavorful menu that exhilarates every bud you... own. Owner and staff are very kind and friendly. The aroma alone should be payed for. Fresh food. Dont know why it took me solong to try goat, its so delicious. Fish was moist and flavorful. Relaxing clean atmosphere. Have a good variety but not tolarge. We've already made a 2nd attack:). Go outside your box and try this simply delicious aromatic menu. Read more
We found their stand at the farmers market downtown this weekend, and had the traditional sambusa! So yummy, and you can tell... it?s all fresh. We?re excited to go to the restaurant and try more from their menu! Read more
Truly unique and absolutely excellent. 100% recommend. I have a had a few sambusas before, but the goat one I had here was by... far my favorite I have had anywhere. I have little experience with the other dishes (aside from the Ethiopian breads etc) butthe fufu and chicken I ordered was absolutely mind blowing. It's sort of hard to describe but the fufu is a corn mush...I wouldliken it to grits, but a little more compacted and almost like a cake. It isn't sweet, it's mostly neutral (didn't try the ricebut I saw some and it looked nice) and the reason it is mostly neutral is because the chicken dish that goes on top is likeflavor-city. The main dish is a again a bit hard to describe but it's almost like a roasted chicken stew, but the chicken piecesare good size. Lots of vegetables and spices. I will advise these dishes would be spicy to some. I have some heat tolerance andI found it to be perfectly spicy, like just hot enough to be hot, but not so hot you lose enjoyment. I would say if you have noheat tolerance you may want to ask what they can suggest. The service was very friendly and informative. A quick note, this IScounter service but it is NOT fast food. It is clear they cook to order and the staff is small. It didn't take exceedingly long,but if you don't call ahead expect to wait a bit for your order. They are clearly focused on quality. This is a no frills placefocused on making a selection of dishes well. The prices and portions are excellent. Read more
Absolutely loved everything we ordered. Called and were able to get a reservation for 15 at last minute. We ordered a little of... everything. The sambusas were perfection. Most of us ordered fufu with chicken or beef, a couple rice and chicken, and a varietyof breads. We will 100% be returning to this restaurant in the very near future. Read more
