I do not know if you have been to Cafe Nema lately, it is worth the trip!! The place has undergone a physical transformation but the food and the ambience are as great as ever. When my girlfriends and I went last week, the crowd looked like members of the United Nations and everyone we talked to was interesting and respectful. What a great place! I WILL BE BACK!
This place was pretty good. I went there with a few native Somali people for luncha nd it wasn't bad at all. My appatizer was excellent as was my main dish.
Everyone seemed to enjoy there meals and I def. will go again.
The service was so/so but that could just be their culture.
It's located in the bottom floor of a "townhouse style" business. Bottom floor meaning under the street. It's hidden pretty well, but def. a diamond in the rough.
I recommend this place for anyone who wants to try real Somali food.
They also serve alcohol (fyi).
