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🥰

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!

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

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!!

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

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.

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 🔙.

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!

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.

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

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.

What a lovely restaurant, abi was so welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. He even had some chi kofte made with cous cous and was delicious. Really fresh lovely dough with several different traditional Turkish toppings and flavours. The best thing was the Ayran tank constantly pouring 🫗 it tasted incredible. Thank you well be back soon Janer

The place used to be a very convenient and popular Chinese buffet, with heaps of good food for cheap, before Brexit and Covid made it sink. Since then, we have seen several incarnations, all carrying the same furniture, lifted from a disused kindergarten by the sight of it. And the sight of it it is, because during daytime this is a dead spot, adding nothing of use to our high street. What it adds is a bunch of uncohering, garish colors, in an awkward bid to replicate the hip bits of Hackney. Geometric wall painting (straight lines in aqua and orange — that was easy, huh?) clashes with "old-school graffiti art" on the board and shutter, about as fancy as sleeping rough by the train tracks. A perfectly nauseating mix with the aforementioned furniture. As for the service, I don't know. I wouldn't want to go in and sit on a kid's chair, and play "assemble your hip food" on an ashtray sized table if they paid me.
