From the Horn of Africa to leafy Kensington, #Somali Eats brings the textures, flavours and aromas of proper Somali cuisine to locals and devotees. The compact and cosy eatery specialises in tender, marinated meats, which accompany mounds of spiced basmati rice or tomato spaghetti (a remnant of Italian colonialism that's become a Somali staple). You can also try meats in wraps, burgers or with a paleo-friendly bed of cauliflower rice, with meals best concluded with a pot of traditional Somali coffee or tea infused with ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon.
