Best WLM Reviews

Their food are Halal. I love this place. For Muslims community they even a small praying place inside. There is a masjid at a walkable distance from here. They will serve you the best they can. Every person is treated like a family member here. You have plenty of space to park even your truck.
This restaurant always you getting amazing food and it's clean, good service is fast and friendly, tonight I get Meat, they called rose and chapati if you are In Indianapolis please visit Barako restaurant.
Really enjoyed my visit here. Went there in March. Kind of had an atmosphere like a cigar place or bar. They give very generous portions and I got to speak a little Somali with them. Very friendly too though some of the people I was with were a little unsure at first as it didn't seem like a lot of people were there. Was my first time trying Somali food.
Went off the beaten path for lunch, was surprised to find this Somali Restaurant tucked in behind the main street businesses. As an eater with an international palet, just had to stop in and try the food. The dining area is open, sparse, and functional. Some items may not be available from the menu, but they are more than happy to cook something for you. I ordered the goat with rice, the goat was grilled and very flavorful. The rice was a real treat, almost like a fried rice with roasted vegetables, maybe a little Star Anise, and a touch of heat from some hot pepper (not too hot, but will warm the lips a little). My coworker ordered the fried Tilapia, he said it was really good, his rice was same as mine. The portion size is fairly large, I could only eat half, took the other half home for dinner???? The service isn't very formal, so if you need something, just tell the guy behind the pick-up window and they will take care of you. A nice hole-in-the-wall if you are adventurous, well worth the visit, I will be a regular customer now????
Very generous serving for 1 person. Friendly people. Food is made for Somali patrons so you get to eat authentic Somali food.
Run don’t walk for this delicious spicy food and cardamom tea!
Worst Somali food I ever tested and the price was high I will never ever eat there again if you are asking people to pay $25 than make good food
I couldn’t eat so I trashed all please do not steal their money this poor truck drivers and stop feeding haft cooked rice with too much salt and oil
Do it like other Somali restaurants
The customer service was extremely poor; despite being the sole customer present, the staff paid no attention to my needs. I had to repeatedly request my drinks and the bananas that were supposed to accompany my meal. To make matters worse, the employee seemed more focused on social media, completely ignoring my attempts to pay for my order. Here are some.
