Kulan Restaurant in Waltham Forest

Mansha Allah, the restaurant is good, the rice is not good, the food is expensive, the staff is very noisy, the rest is ok.

This place very clean, masha allah and the food very tasty.

I pop in for lamb with my bro and loved it. Somali tiramisu for dessert slaps as well. Highly recommend 🔥❤️

Great experience ordering from Uber eats. Made a mistake and the restaurant accommodated my request.Food amazing aswell.

Never tasted somalian food before and absolutely loved it, delicious food, great service and super friendly staff! Will definitely go back

I fell in love with Somali food because of this place. It deserves so many more customers for the quality that they deliver.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the hospitality and treatment we received was unmatched!! the lovely sister who served us went above and beyond for us in order for my cousin who’s first time it was eating somali food and made it an experience to remember, may Allah put barakah in this business and grant them the success they deserve, Ameen🥰

The place looked is clean, spacious, and well presented. The staff are very welcoming. The food was quality and portions were really good

Kulan Somali Restaurant offers an outstanding dining experience with authentic Somali cuisine. The flavors are rich and the dishes are expertly prepared, giving a true taste of Somali culture. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for the best Somali food around Walthamstow, Kulan is the place to go!

Visited a while back very randomly after we found issues with the restaurant close by. The food was the best I'd have locally. Try it and come back every day!

It is so good the food is delicious 😋 I love it and it has all of my favourite dishes,drinks and every other thing it is just perfectly amazing 👏 round of a claws

Where should I start.. the food is dry and over cooked the staff are absolutely ridiculous they have no manners they are not professional. They do not welcome you into the restaurant they sit there on there phones. It's more like a Somalian house than a restaurant the tables are dirty the cutlery have dry food stains on them. They do not respect there customers when they are eating they scream at one another across the room. They reply WHAT rather than pardon. Since Ramadan they have become greedy and put the prices up for the menu since then there restaurant has been quite. I would be ashamed to even think about bring my family here. The toilets are revolting water is everywhere on the floor to the seat. The Somalian ladies that cook in the restaurant give you dirty looks. I would not want to imagine what happens in the kitchen. There Hygiene has gone out the window the food will come quicker out your bum then it will in your mouth. Unfortunately I won't be returning again. I would avoid going to this particular restaurant I give 0 stars

Man I love Kulan!!! Super tasty Somali food!! Man we're so lucky to get to try this delicious food!! Loved it! I think it's my 2nd time here! Always phone to check they got the Lamb Shoulders.

Spot on! Food and service was v nice. May Allah pour blessing over this business. Me and mate went for lamb shoulder and 2 chicken with rice and pasta. It was more than enough

First time I tried Somali food.I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch .Adequate portion and reasonable price.

We came here as a family on Sunday, it was my first time trying Somalian food and we were not dissapointed at all! The greeting we received was really friendly and personable and the flood platters were huge and so delicious! This will be another favorite for us in the area and we will definitely be back to try other dishes!!

no honey i went because i needed to eat cultural food but it wasn't the taste i expected oh dare no service or joy employees tighten up

Came from out of town to visit earlier after seeing an online recommendation of the best Somali restaurant's in London and it didn't definitely dissapoint. Immediatetly noticed the nice interior decor and clean premises then ordered the haniid with rice (bariis in Somali), where the service was quick and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. The haniid was soft and succelent as expected from Somali restaurant's, and the flavours for it as well as the rice was really nice, complimented by raisins, onions and vegetables. Will definitely be back for another time to one of the best Somali restaurant's in London, lets go champs

Just discovered this place. Absolutely delicious everything cooked to perfection and succulent. Clean and friendly service and reasonable price to feed a whole family. We would highly recommend cannot fault it at all. Will be going again in the future with friends and family.

Very nice place, basement seating is a good quiet, private option. The food was GREAT! The lamb and beef was so nicely cooked, soft, tender, flavoursome, meat was coming off the bone, grill chicken was also really nice and full of flavour.

The platter was one of the best I've had. The meat was very tender. Perfect place to break our fast

Amazing food, everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. Very welcoming and quick service. 0 complaints.

Best Somali restaurant in London, the place is so clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and the food is tasty and delicious

Great restaurant very good service with quality food

Had a delightful meal at Kulan. The Suqaar with rice took me back to Hooyo’s kitchen with its authentic taste – it was packed with flavor, hearty, and comforting. The best part is that It tastes like a splurge but at a price that’s kind to your wallet. It’s the sort of satisfying dish that leaves you with a smile, complimented by the warm service that makes you feel right at home.

I've ate here a few times, never dissapoints, the place looks amazing, the food looks amazing and the staff are amazing. I'm never dissapointed when I eat here, after the main meal I would definitely recommend a cheeky Tiramisu and Somali tea, 10/10

It's not normal, it's another level..... ,,, you get everything from running

Bad customer service Plus, Rude customer services Force you something that you don’t wanna buy

Amazing service and food would recommend 👌👌

It's good restaurants and good service staff

Good food nice meet good staff 👍

My bro Ibrahim ate my sisters food, we told the other waiter ahmed our food was cold and dry - like your ENORMOUS stomach BECAUSE YOU ATE ALL THE HILIB - and he then tasted the food. He then proceeded to finish my beef steak, sugaar and rice also proceeding to eat my whole familys request of food and drinks. He gave us a Mango lassi the size of his calool 💀, which looked like he mixed it with animal enzymes and a variety of amino acids. The toilet was very wet and dirty like the dandruff in his hair. Overall, it was a horrendous experience and the waiters said the food £69 which is absolutely ridiculous. The shiqni/spice was bloody mad hot and my mum told him the food was dry and he told us he will bring us other condiments but he never came back with the milk 🔙.

Very nice food and services will recommend

First time trying and the food was amazing!!!! They even gave me a free fruit lol

We had an absolutely amazing time at the restaurant. Hosted a bridal shower for my sister and we had so much fun, it was set up nicely. Food and Service was 10/10 everyone loved it.

Delicious food , nice atmosphere and great welcoming. Yesterday me and my 4 year old went there after school , we had an amazing service . Also couple of weeks ago we ordered some food and my guests really loved the food.

Great food 5 star customer service

Top place good food and amazing services

Fantastic food and service. Definitely would recommend this nice Somali restaurant.

I hosted a party for 20+ people at kulan, staff were amazing and super accommodating throughout the whole time. decoration for the event space was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Food was amazing with great generous portion sizes, everyone had positive comments. Overall 10/10 would recommend this restaurant to everyone and will definitely come again.

Food was excellent, quick and friendly service. Was quite empty when I went, so not much of a lively atmosphere, however this might change when they’re busy

The best food I have tasted in the East London area & hands down the best Somali food in London. I am a regular and always get the lamb shoulder & beef steak. I just tried the chicken leg for the first time yesterday & I think it's my new favourite. The portion sizes are great, I never leave feeling hungry. The staff are welcoming and friendly & the service of food to the table is quick. The restaurant is clean inside and very well run. If it's your first time eating Somali food you have to try Banana with the rice!

Absolutely taaasty beef steak 10 out of 10 soup was the best ive tried hands down and mango vimto shake hit the spot. Would deffinately recommend.

This restaurant is very nice and beautiful and the food tastes very delicious 😋. The service was great 👍

This place has an amazing dishes and please visit you'll experience the real test. I love their rice, whoa! breath taking and more ...

Loved the food here, top quality and really authentic homemade style food! Will deffos be back here…

I would highly recommend Kulan for the fantastic service and great Somali food. The food is very reasonably priced for the massive portions that you get and all of the food is 10/10. I really enjoyed the beef steak and the lamb shank too. And the staff are all very friendly and willing to help however they can. I cannot wait to go back to Kulan!

The food was cooked to a high standard and the staff were very friendly.

We booked for birthday dinner. The decorations was great . Staff was very polite and friendly. Speakers for music was working lovely. The food was very delicious at very reasonable price. I definitely recommend and I will go back. Keep up your great energy. Thanks guys

Food was very tasty,service excellent,the place is very clean, best Somali restaurant so far.recommend for everyone especially groups and families.

Food was bit cold didn't taste as before, seating was good but the price it has gone up. Customer service not as friendly as others such as Barwaqo restaurant.

Ordered online , it was absolutely terrible steak was like cooked two days ago, the whole experience was absolutely horrendous.

Its a family owned somali restaurant. Love the food.

Fantastic food, spicy noddles with chicken, delicious, mango juice perfect

Very good food, tried the beef and salmon meal deals

We went here for the first time and will definitely be back. Staff were super welcoming and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Very generous portions too. We really enjoyed the salmon and beef steak lunch options and the soup starters. Can’t wait for our next trip to try the lamb shoulder - as recommended!

Very friendly face , Excellent customer service, Best rice and meat in town

Very good Somali East African restaurant. The restaurant is clean and the service is fast.

If you need a good food and worm welcome join now and visist

Good food and service well done guys

We get food from here every week since we discovered it about 3 months ago. So tasty. Have tried the haneed, beef steak, chicken steak, rice and pasta, all delicious, would recommend. Need to try the breakfast soon iA

Really friendly service, great food and very reasonable price highly recommended

The food at this establishment is delightful! The portion sizes are generous and everything is seasoned to perfection! I would recommend eating here!

Very nice staff, nice portions and tasty food. Went with my family yesterday. The shoulder meat was soft and rice flavourful. Family room downstairs is one of the best we have seen. However we will not be returning anytime soon because 1) there was a horrible ammonia / toilet / urine smell which was strong in the whole restaurant, the manager said they have a problem with the smells from the flat above but they will fix this this Ramadan, it puts you off your food, 2) the food gets cold very quickly, it is not hot, but not stone cold just room temperature when served, that means after 15 minutes it starts to get very cold, 3) when packing leftovers they charge £1 per foil container, this was the first time I have ever been charged for this in any restaurant and they don't tell this to you what they give it, it's just on the receipt. They should tell you first and if they want to charge, it should be at what they pay which is 23p each. This was a bit of a shame. This restaurant can be top quality with some changes and we would return again and again if it fixed these issues. Hopefully they will in future.

The Food is world class. The Hanit is probably the best family meal.

مطعم صومالي بكل تأكيد اكله حلال. يقدم الطعام الصومالي الطيب المذاق الرائع مع اللحم الذي يتم تجهيزه بطريقة صومالية شهية وهو لا يحتاج الى الكثير لهضمة فهو تم تطيبة بالطرق التقليدية المتعارف عليها. دوم يكون الوجبة حبة موز وهو العرف السائد في الصومال حيث كل وجباتهم مع الموز. الشربة رائعة بكل تأكيد. الخدمات ممتازة والقائمين على هذا المطعم ودودين للغاليه. المكان نظيف ودورات المياه نظيف ايضا. تجربة رائعة احببتها وأنصح بزيارته وتناول وجبة اساسية مع تحلية بعد الأكل.

Food was upstanding and excellent customer service 10/10

I found this gem from searching for Somalian food as i was craving for it, last time I had was 8 years ago in Al Kahf in Tower Hamlets I have to say the food was huge in portion and delicious, definitely worth the money and customer service was brilliant, was offered to try their soup but I declined as I knew that I wouldn’t be able to finish the lunch otherwise The brother gave us free side dish, I was really impressed. I’ll definitely come back and recommend this to others Sorry I didn’t take any pictures as it was take away but I couldn’t fit the rice onto my plate Really loved the food

Lovely food, well priced.. amazing customer service. Its also nice and clean. Definitely coming back.

A great way to try Somali food if you live in East London. Some similarities to Turkish or other Middle Eastern foods if you haven't tried it before. I got the food by takeaway through deliveroo so I can't speak to the restaurant itself but the food was fantastic. An easy five stars The lamb shoulder was huge and great value for money. The lamb was cooked perfectly (it's a difficult meat to get right so props for the chef). Everything tasted great.

The food was absolutely exquisite. The service was brilliant and the whole restaurant atmosphere was gorgeous. Thank you for brilliant evening

2nd time back for breakfast. The food is amazing and delicious. Staff are very friendly and explained how some of the foods are eaten traditionally if you are not acustomed to Somalian food. Affordable and fresh. Definitely going back again and again. Next time for Lunch/Dinner.

amazing food great customer service

Very delicious food and dessert, friendly customer service and a very clean, beautiful place to eat. My family and I enjoyed the food and will be going again Inshallah.

Amazing food at great prices ! You could not ask for more generous portions, and even the tea was outstanding. I would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent food and customer service.!!

The food and drinks were simply delicious, the staff were helpful and accommodating. I came with my friends and we all agreed we’d definitely come back sometime again.

The food was delicious and appetising. The view inside of the restaurant was so good I loved what my eyes were seeing. I had a huge choice of foods on the menu and it was all affordable.

The food was absolutely good with exceptional customer service. I must go there at least twice a week, it takes me an hour but it’s worth it. Also the shop design just makes the place feel cozy.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Me & my friends organised a pre Ramadan party as they have a function room downstairs which was amazingly beautiful & perfect for all my niqabi sisters! The food, service, cleanliness & stuff were amazing!!! Can't fault anything & we will surely be back again!!!

Very tasty food lovely brothers and will definitely go again ma sha allah

The service was second to none, food came quickly and was piping hot and the staff were very friendly and attentive. I loved the aesthetic but most of all the food was immaculate. Just an overall brilliant display of somali cuisine. Cant wait to try more on the menu.

Very good place to come to and the food very tasty the best restaurant in town

Loved the tiramisu! Service was fast, staff were really friendly. Will be again in the near future.
