I'm happy our food is going viral. Now all our enemies can seethe.

I’ve had multiple of my friends ask me to make them Somali food or to take them out to restaurants. And when my mum made our old neighbour next door some food she loved it and even asked for more. I love when positive aspects of our culture become popular. Inshallah Somali business owners benefit from this

Somali friendliness is no joke, reer UK are eating good from it. We would be associated with good food and potentially could use this good publicity to market and sell other parts of our culture.

Imagine we revived somali men cultural clothing and made a version for mass distribution

My father used to take me to an Omani restaurant as a kid and they had pictures of Oman all over the place, their capital city, their beaches, their Forts. I still have fond memories of that country anytime someone mentions Oman just based on that positive experience through one of their restaurants.

This could be a major opportunity for Somalis to showcase their country as their restaurants become more popular.

The Somali styled thobes with our unique embroidery

All Muslim states had thier own version of the thobe like morrocans but for some reason ours fell out of favour. Ofc this was worn only by upper classes and powerful men. But that was all clothing like this. Average person used to wear simple stuff. But in the modern age we all take the clothing upper classes used to wear and make it the cultural clothing and that's what Somali should do also.

somali food in the UK is great. I really liked al Kahf in terms of food quality and sabiib has decent food but better presentation

i didn’t like damaal. horrible service and food was ok

The world wide Somali community will separate itself into 3 distinct communities, the western madowwashed community who begs madow culture and madownimo, the Cadaanwashed community who begs Cadaan culture and Cadaannimo and finally fobs, imma go back to the fobs and hope I’ll be welcomed there.

I’ve completely abandoned all hope for these Cadaanwahsed and Madowwashed Somalis who’ve neglected their identity and seek acceptance in other communities. They’ve lost their deen and their dhaqan and instead seek attention and recognition from ajnabi to feel seen even to the point of neglecting their own origins and identifying with another, I won’t follow them and I won’t let my children be confused about who they’re. The more I think about it the more I realize marrying a fob women with deen is the only thing I’ll be satisfied with even if there are good western Somali women out there.

Damaal rice does not taste like a somali rice. I doubt the cookers are Somali.

I hate how these desis are overtaking our restaurants, why are we so weak and pathetic in allowing ajanabis in our business?

Exactly, they wouldn't patronise a Somali run Indian restaurant.

Not that many Somali chefs are willing to work for low wages Somali restaurants offer. You might as well register as an Uber driver. It’s normal for 1 auntie to have worked at several Somali restaurants in one area. They struggle to recruit professional chefs. That’s why you see Bengali’s and Sudanese freshie chefs in some kitchens.

If someone started professional Somali chef course he/she would be making good money.
