NYC's first Somali restaurant brings a stark contrast to the typical food you encounter in Harlem, but a welcome one. The lighter, spicier flavors and textures are a perfect change from the heavier soul food restaurants. Its low-key vibe fits right in with Harlem though, making the cafĂ© super inviting and open to anyone willing to try something new.
