My son lives in Seattle and had been wanting to try this restaurant and Somalian food for awhile. When I was visiting recently we decided to try the café for lunch. My son had visited a few times before but they were always closed. We tried to phone before coming, but could not find a working phone number for the café on the internet. When we first went, we found the door locked and a group of people inside. A gentleman came to the door and told us that they were closed for the day for a function, but would be open the next day for lunch and into the evening. We came back at 11:30 the next day and were told that they had just opened after being closed for a month due to a religious holiday. A woman requested that we come back in an hour or so when the kitchen would have food ready. We returned later and had a seat inside this nondescript café. The same lady, who was quite pleasant came and in an apologetic tone told us that the only thing she could offer us was a beef dish with beans and either French or African bread. We agreed to what they could offer. We asked for the chai tea (I had read about how great the chai is here on another review site). The hot chai was in a help yourself container on a side table and quite good. This turned out to be a very interesting eating experience. For starters, it did not feel like we were in a café or restaurant. There were no menus, no signs any where with information about the restaurant, including a sign in the window with days, hours open, etc. The café is quite shabby with old tables and chairs that are not in good condition. The table had a pile of napkins laying there but nothing else. It was a warm day and there were two old air conditioning units on the wall but they were unplugged. There were a few travel pictures on the walls, but no attempt to decorate or provide any ambience to the place. While we were there, no one else came to the café to eat and it did not seem like the owners expected anyone to eat there. A grou
