African Spices - Reviews

I've been coming here for 3 years, and every time, without fail, my meal has been fresh, flavorful, and fricken delicious. The food quality is consistently excellent, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this place for its outstanding food.

My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The service was great and the staff were so kind. They even gave us free food, like the mandaz (I think that's how it's spelled). The food was also excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We ordered the fufu with lamb, chicken squash, and chicken sambusas, and each dish was a unique delight, served in generous portions. The gentleman behind the counter was very pleasant and accommodating, even turning off a fan that was making us cold. We're already planning our return visit!

This is my go-to spot for chicken sambusa. Today, I had the honor of trying the african donut with a cream cheese filling, which was yummy. The cappuccino also tasted better than Starbucks for me.

I would give African Spice a 100/5 stars if I could for all of the above categories: food, service, and atmosphere. Since my first time trying it, I honestly can't stop thinking about the food. The sambusa was the star of my very first visit, being crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned on the inside. It is just packed with so much flavor and a must-have! You can tell it’s made fresh because every bite has that perfect crunch. It is definitely one of the best sambusas I’ve ever had. Another thing I love about African Spice is the customer service. It is family-owned, and you can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. They are always giving me free samples to try of new dishes and desserts. Everything is done in a timely manner and made to perfection. Every time I went, it genuinely felt like they cared about making the experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for delicious East African food with warm service, then African Spice is absolutely worth a visit.

My experience at the restaurant was delightful. The food was yummy, and the hospitality was great. While waiting for my order, I was offered some lentil soup, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Goat and fish, and the portions were sufficient. I will definitely order again.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's truly the best food in San Diego. The service was excellent, rated 5/5, and the atmosphere also received a perfect 5/5. For vegetarians, they offer great options like spinach and okra, and their Maharago is a must-try. The vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled, making it easy to choose. I highly recommend it for vegetarians. The wait time was minimal, up to 10 minutes, and the price per person is reasonable, between $10–$20. I visited for lunch.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the best Somali restaurant and grocery in the city. The business is family-owned, offering great service and even better food.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the Yummy Somalian food, which was cooked fresh. The price was also good. Furthermore, the people working at the restaurant were nice.

This was my first experience eating African food, and this place was AMAZING! I definitely recommend everyone to come and try it.
