Reviews for Somali ( Daalo Hilaac Restaurant ) in Minneapolis, MN

Don't judge the food by the rundown look of this Somalian restaurant. It's my first trip here, and the goat stew and malawax... (traditional flat bread similar to Indian paratha/rot canai) I ordered totally blows my mind. The stew is full of flavor andfall apart. Can't wait to try other kinds of bread and other meats in my next trip! Read more

Daalo restaurant is the pest restaurant in the city , it was my first time to visited and I found very clean and delicious food... ( soft Goat meat ) with rice and banana with great service. Read more

Tourist here: came across this place when we needed lunch from a morning at the Mia. It was my first time trying Somali food and... it won?t be the last: we got the Philly steak rice meal and loved it. The meat was tender and flavorful and the rice wasDELICIOUS. The servings are very generous and can probably feed 2 people, which makes the price very worth it. The only con Iwould say is that the dining area was kinda dark and empty; there was one nice young man manning the counter and waiting tables,but that?s not a dealbreaker in my book. Read more

My parents were in town, and I asked them if they wanted to try any food that they couldn't try at home. Without missing a beat,... my dad suggested Somali! I did a search and found Daalo Hilaac in my neighborhood. We showed up at the restaurant and there wasan A-Frame in front with a menu, but a post-it in the window that they were closed. I thought it might be a ghost kitchen, andwe weren't sure if it was counter service or table service, but we had good food and good service. Somali food is served with abanana, which we weren't sure if it was an appetizer or dessert - I later learned that it is a palate cleanser. I tried goat(for the first time) and it was delicious - it was soft and tender and reminded me of pot roast. The Somali rice was the bestpart, it was so flavorful. I'm not sure if tipping is a part of Somali culture, because when they charged our card, they chargedit for the exact amount, and we asked to add a tip but they weren't sure how. It felt like a family place and a communityhangout spot. Great time experiencing a different culture and cuisine, and I would try something new next time! Read more

This place had really good food. They said they are about to remodel the restaurant and modernize it along with updating the... menu. So it will only get better. Read more

Food was very good, but there were very few choices. This place is just beginning to build itself and the menu.

Daalo hilaaac is an amazing place to try real, authentic Somalian food. When we walked into the door the servers kindly greeted... us and asked us what we wanted to order. Since we did not know much about Somalian food, she gave us some options and we pickedfrom them (I don?t remember the options right of the bat, but it was really good!). When the food came we could immediately tellit was real as authentic homemade style food. Overall I?m going to give daalo hilaac 5 stars it was flavorful tasty and hadreally made my day! If you have not tried Somalian before daalo is the way to go!!! Read more

I had chapati with chicken suugar. One of the the best food since 2009..I give this place an A for food and service..I have seen... restaurants the only issue would be the processing of the order faster...and handling cleaning after people eat... Keep up thegood service..keep changing the menu n sale more drinks.. Read more
