Faridas Somali - Reviews

I've been coming here since I was 17 and I absolutely love the food. The green sauce is amazing. It's a quiet and subtle place, so good!

My experience at the restaurant was marked by a significant wait time. I called in my order 30 minutes before arriving, but I still had to wait 55+ minutes for my food. Additionally, the staff member at the front who took my order spoke no English and could barely understand me, even failing to grasp that I wanted a drink. This lack of understanding also led to being overcharged because they didn't know how to operate the payment machine.

I visited Farida's with my husband because I was really interested since the name "Farida's" and my name is Farida lol (I'm the Mexican that went the other day). The service was 10/10, and it really felt worth the price since they give you big portions and the food is so delicious. They even gave us banana, which I felt really respected, as they want us to eat the traditional way. The rice has a delicious flavor, the goat, and the bread were the best! Really, really worth it. I love it and can't wait to go back!

My experience at this small restaurant was a delightful surprise. Despite being located in a strip mall with some vacant spaces and having a limited menu where certain dishes might be unavailable, the food itself was outstanding. Every dish was cooked perfectly, featuring good flavors that weren't overpowering, and served in generous portions. The goat plate was incredibly tender, and the fish in both the fish wrap and fish salad was moist and savory. The service was polite and courteous, and there's even a discount for cash payments, adding to the overall positive experience.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The service was lacking, as there was no NFC/Google/Apple Pay option at the register, and the clerk was unable to provide basic information about the noodles served. The food was overly expensive and only average in quality. Overall, the price did not match the quality received.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I ordered the chicken steak with pasta and rice, and the meal was served fresh and hot. The chicken itself was well seasoned and tasty. I also tried an appetizer called a sambusa, which is a deep-fried triangle-shaped egg roll filled with ground chicken. It was freshly made and very good. The staff was very friendly and courteous. Overall, it was a good dining experience, and I will be back to try the goat dish.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! We were so eager to eat that we didn't have time to take pictures before diving in, but the amazing and delicious food we had after will tell you how much we loved it. The samosas had a great flavor. The service was great and very fast. We left very happy and pleased. Thank you ❤️

I recently had my first experience at this restaurant and it was a fantastic sub experience. The chicken sub was incredibly good, featuring uniquely spiced chicken on a freshly baked bun. I also enjoyed their special house-made spicy sauce, which was both unusual and delicious. "Mo, " a member of the family-owned restaurant, was friendly and welcoming, contributing to a positive service experience. I'm looking forward to trying other items on their menu.

My experience at this restaurant was truly amazing. I found the food to be exceptional, easily ranking it among the best Somalian restaurants I've ever visited in the US. Beyond the delicious food, the restaurant also offers great value for money, considering the quality and quantity of what you receive. The service and atmosphere were also top-notch, both receiving a perfect score.

This is my go-to restaurant for take-out Somali food. My experience was fantastic! We always order the Chicken suucqar with rice, pasta, and salad, which is so delicious with big portions. The green hot sauce is pretty spicy and flavorful, and the ranch is really good too. Make sure to get it with the mango or watermelon juice, and the side of banana for the full experience!
