In London some restaurants have separate seating areas for men and women. Men will open their mouths wide open and gawp at women with such exaggeration that it puts me off my food. I leave before the waiter comes and encases me in a bespoke box with those room dividers. I wish they had a bar section, it would end secret drinking which leads to alcoholism.
The segregation needs to end. Somali restaurants and establishments needs to get with the times. Even Turkish and Lebanse restaurants are allowing men and women to sit together and eat. I'm tired of going to non Somali restaurants with female relatives and even female friends. I want to support Somali establishments but they still behind the times.

Wtf are you talking about? You can sit with your female relatives in the women's section in Somali restaurants even if you're a grown man, at least in North America. Never heard of relatives having to sit in different parts of a Somali restaurant because of gender.
What's the point of having segregation if males can just sit amongst women in their section?
Over here most Somali restaurants are heavily male oriented, and many even men only.

Where I live we have more so the men's section and a family section. You can take your wife and kids or go with your female relatives to the family (woman's) section. There's a men's get together fadhi ku dirir/maqaayad section and a family friendly section. No Saudi style segregation though.

Turks and Lebanese in the UK are very liberal, they're the go to places after a drunken night out. Weird how they're honor killers and fajiisto in the rest of Europe and in their countries.
We have three reer magaal spots in London, probably Britain and they're doing the best. The rest are owned by wadaads or frequented by their loyal odeyaal crowd and they will even cover their windows and call it a social club - those are male only. How that lotmake money I'll never know, they must be selling khat.
I can tell you that 75% of turks and lebs don't give a shit about religion. There arebars and strip clubs in Turkey and lebanon, normal no one says anything
I think there is no need to separate genders at restaurants because cunto lee la cunaa right? And eating is not something to be ashamed of lol.
I honestly only get takeaway from Somali restaurants unless I'm visiting or I have martii. Because Somali men stare and stare and stare.
Identical here in Denmark. Most Somali restaurants are basically an old boys social club, men only. I really don't get it.
Isn't it a bit taboo for women to be seen out and about a ton?
I understand shy it is necessary bc I know for a fact that I'll have thoughts watching a somali gorgeous girl eating and opening her mouth and closing.
@VicePrez ..bro here we sit with our female family members or associates ...it kind of makes no sense to me cause Ya I fasaxay naagahan kale?
I know they do stare a lot specially if you go alone. I think the reason is they are not used to girls eating at somali restaurants.
How do you honestly feel? Like a piece of meet ? Do you feel like you about trip?On their own maybe. But it's not taboo for women to be out eating with their husbands, or brothers, or cousins. Not to my knowledge anyway..
Do Somali men also stare if they see you having lunch at Subway or one of these other cadaan establishments?
