Banadir Somali Restaurant

If you want to have some extremely tasty food, do visit this restaurant. The mutton is so delicious. The vegetable soup comes with it and is absolutely delicious. Do not forget to try the Somali tea. Every time I am in LA, I make sure I eat at this spot.

Instead of sitting in rush hour traffic after a 5 pm arrival to LAX, we stopped here for the goat and lamb. Both were amazing (tender meat, caramelized veggies, delicious rice—and that green sauce!) with really big portions (leftovers!). No nonsense mom and pop kinda spot that just has fantastic food, good prices, and a friendly vibe.

The food is very tasty and clean and it deserves 5 ⭐️. Service is very quick and friendly. The tea is so good and bottomless pot, which is complimentary and all you can drink. The only critique is the dining area can be improved. It needs a serious makeover.

Really good and yummy meal. Seemed like home cooked meal and the portion was huge. The set meal with soup, banana and ginger tea is worth its value. I had the lamb and rice. Rice was so flavorful. A definite visit again when im back in LA.

Delicious food. Excellent Service by the owner. You will never be disappointed. Do make reservation and they close by 8:30. Their last order by 8pm. Surely will come again. 👍

The rice that they serve is great. Meat choices are dependent on the customer. I didn't fully like the quality of the goat meat. Otherwise everything tastes good. The clear vegetable soup was very refreshing.

My first time eating here and I was blown away by the food quality. The Rice and Lamb platter exceeded my expectations, boasting excellence in both taste and portion sizes. They also have complimentary tea further elevating dining experience. Definitely coming again.

Located very close to LAX, which makes it very convenient if you want to eat something before you flight or after without worrying about the LA traffic. Food is amazing, very generous amount and that green sauce is so good. It had a mom and pop shop vibe, people are very friendly. Highly recommended.
