Either way, you’ll be treated to friendly service and dishes made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.     

As one reviewer put it, “This is one of those places you don't want to tell anyone about and keep all to yourself. The food was wonderful - great flavor, reasonable prices, and huge portions.”   

Need to Know:   
- Signature Dishes: Halwo Kismayo Grill is known for homemade Somali favorites such as sambusas, crispy, triangular pastries that are filled with seasoned meat or vegetables. Similar to samosas, they’re perfect for a snack or appetizer.   
- Other popular items include mandazi, deep-fried, donut-like treats, and chapati, (also known as roti), a type of soft, flat, unleavened bread. Order chapati on its own, or enjoy it in a dish such as katakata, a Somali dish made with beef, chicken, fish, or lamb cooked in a sauce with onions, tomatoes and spices. The chapati comes mixed into the stew, so it soaks up all the delicious sauce.    
- Somali-style Pasta: Those unfamiliar with Somali cuisine might be surprised to learn that pasta is a staple food, though it’s very distinct from the kind of pasta you’ll find elsewhere, often incorporating spices such as cardamom, cumin, and cloves. At Halwo Kismayo Grill, you can order Somali-style pasta with various meats such as goat and lamb.     
- American Comfort Food: In addition to Somali cuisine, you can order Philly Sandwiches and Wraps, quesadillas, burgers (choose from beef, chicken, fish, or lamb), and chicken wings. There are also fusion dishes, such as french fries topped with spicy chicken masala.
