    Just had my first ever Somali breakfast. I met a young man and asked him (a random customer) what he would recommend for breakfast he said sukkaar with Chapatti and tea. I thought let's do it. Ordered a sukkaar breakfast with two chappatis, comes with green chilli sauce (baris) and a wedge of lemon, the sukkaar is a bowl of meat cut in to small pieces with some pepper in it. I believe it's cooked with ghee my god that was delicious. The tea was also delicious. This cost only £6 plus £1 for an extra chappati. Breakfast was very filling and really delicious the tea was also lovely. 10/10 full marks. I also purchased 3 mendazis, 2 kitombias and 2 samoosas/samboosas. Again 10/10 full marks. Everything together cost me only £14.20 Kind man served me with a smile and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. Made me feel welcome. I am not affiliated to this restaurant in any way shape or form. Thank you and keep up the good work Island dishes. I will definitely be back.
