Reviews for Mogadishu Restaurant in Chicago, IL
The food was really great. We wanted the lamb shank but there wasn?t any so we tried the goat which was great! The menu is... awesome and very affordable- $15. The food pictured served two people and we were really full. The tea was amazing for $1! Thesitting is small so ideal for two people to dine in but not for large crowds. Read more
This was my first experience with Somalian food but it won't be the last. The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere felt casual... but warm. The gentleman that served us was super helpful and friendly. Huge portions priced very reasonably. Ugh, and thetea! I can't stop thinking about the hot tea. It was just so perfectly balanced, between the sweetness and the warmspices. Though it's small and doesn't matter much to most people, probably, I do appreciate the TV station being on Al Jazeeranews network. Thank you for the great time! Read more
Came here yesterday for my birthday with friends and it exceeded my expectations. It wasn?t a super fancy place but the... atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious(and at a good price) and the staff was extremely friendly. I willdefinitely want to come back and highly recommend it! Read more
Never had Somalian food before. The Hilib Ari was so delicious. Also their sambusa and the mandazi. The only dish we didn?t like... much was the Kay Kay with chicken. Overall great experience. The milk tea was also delicious. Read more
very kind restaurant owner and good service! we were not familiar with Somali food, so we asked the restaurant owner to... recommend us a bit of everything. The dishes were amazing and overall we had a great experience!! 10/10 recommended. Read more
We were delighted by our meal here, drove over during the MAScon. Wonderful owners, generous servings and delicious Somali food.... Their family platter had a taste of everything and plenty of veggies - and will last our party of four for two days! Highlyrecommend and worth the drive from McCormick. Read more
Goat was great, and the employees (maybe owners?) Are extremely friendly. Huge portions that I couldn't even finish. It's small... inside, only 4 tables, but worth a try. Read more
Great food and great portions for takeout. Never had Somalian food and was pleasantly surprised how much flavors there was in... the rice and how tender the chicken was. We'll definitely be back to try the lamb and everything else on the menu. The owner waskind in explaining the choices but I hope in the future he could introduce us to something more unique! Be weary though, we wereharassed by a random homeless guy in the restaurant, took awhile for the owner to shoo him away but he waited for us outside.Kinda a buzzkill to our first experience unfortunately.
