Somali Restaurant in Birmingham

I ordered from here off uber eats, I wouldn't again as they sent me burnt rice stuck to the tray and 3 pieces or beef. Spent quite a bit for that meal just for it to go in the bin as the shop was closed when my order arrived a hour late.

The food was very succulent and tasted divine The customer service was absolutely amazing and could not have asked for better food. The chilli sauce with the mandi tasted yummy 😋 would definitely recommend to friends and family. There are family seating should you require more privacy. Overall, the food and customer service was perfect. MashaaAllah 😍

Fui a este restaurante ayer y me saludó un joven camarero llamado abdi. Pedí el menú y lo único que me llamó la atención fue el plátano y el arroz. Otro camarero llamado Abdi vino a servirle a la comida que el plátano y el arroz eran realmente irreales. hermosa comida gracias Abdi

Este es un buen lugar para comer si te gusta ARROZ con plátanos el camarero, Abdi, fue muy servicial. Así era su hermano Abdi. El nombre del propietario y el nombre es el Abdi limpiador es Abdi. Pero la comida era buena.

Vine aquí en un par de ocasiones y para ser sincero, la comida es bastante buena, hay una buena selección para elegir en su buffet y los precios son razonables. La higiene es deficiente algo (aviso de manipulación de alimentos y mesas sucias) y el servicio puede ser estoico. Me hubiera dado este lugar un saludable 4 estrellas pero mi último viaje aquí califica para un 3 estrellas, como yo fui testigo de una pelea entre un empleado y un cliente, estoy bastante seguro de que no era parte de su espectáculo, ya que era en abundancia, rompiendo en headlocks el equipo y los platos y vajilla se truncó y tirado! La mayoría de los clientes parecían llevar a como de negocios como de costumbre, totalmente nulas nuestro 'especial del chef", lo cual fue una pena porque la comida es buena. En general es un buen variedad de comida.

On the outside you can see a dingy, slightly garish corner cafe. The minute you walk in you wonder where on earth you are. The atmosphere is loud, vibrant and slightly intimidating. About 50 Somali men are having heated discussions about goodness knows what. But don't be put off. The cafeteria style is informal, go up to the counter, holler to be served and a friendly smiling face will tell you what's on offer on the day. Grilled fish, grilled chicken, succulent lamb shanks and more. Served with mounds of rice or their excellent pancake style breads you will not be disappointed. The coffee is exquisite. Probably the cheapest and tastiest espresso in Birmingham. Never seen a woman customer there. The service is pretty good once they've sussed you are there, someone will check regularly you are ok. The staff seem proud to explain their cuisine and are keen to gauge your enjoyment. Incredibly cheap, never been able to eat all they've served up and they will happily box it for you to take home. Five star!

I had never previously had the pleasure of Somalian food, but would definitely visit again to taste more. Food is served canteen-style, with giant and filling portions. Much of the menu seems to rely on meats that have been cooked until very tender. The staff were happy to explain what all the meals were and offer suggestions. The prices were very reasonable. The restaurant is very popular and so could appear a bit dirty to some visitors because the furniture is well-worn. I appreciated the curtains that can be drawn across the booths to provide privacy to those who want it.

I eat at Salama Somali almost every week as I work near the restaurant. If your after hygienic, wholesome and nutritious food (unlike the rest of the overpriced junk in Small Heath), then I strongly recommend Salama Somali. The restaurant serves a selection of traditional Somali dishes cooked freshly everyday. I particularly enjoy the rice and chicken or the lamb shank with vegetables....if you do go there make sure to try their chilli sauce its SERIOUSLY hot but really really tasty. The service is very good and the staff are friendly and always happy to see you. The portions are extremely generous (dont be suprised if you can`t finish the food) and decently price.
